Cheddar Gorge Wells, Somerset

Property Description

Nestled at the foot of the Mendip Hills, this eco-lodge was designed with the view in mind – one glance at the rolling countryside from the wrap-around deck and you'll see what we mean. Morning, afternoon or evening, the scenery is sure to take your breath away. Perfect for families, there's plenty of space inside and out to get cosy. On summer days, enjoy alfresco meals in the sunshine or laze on the sun loungers with a good book and glass of wine. Our favourite part, however, is the bubbling hot tub. In the evenings, soak your troubles away with a dip under the stars – turn on the LED lighting to set the mood. Even inside, you can make the most of the view, thanks to the French doors. It's warm and inviting, especially when the wood-burning stove is lit. Snuggle up for a family movie night on the squishy sofas – there's a DVD player and a selection of films to choose from – before retiring to the sumptuous bedrooms. Be sure to pack your walking boots. Not only are there trails and an orchard inside the park to explore, but Strawberry Line and Cheddar Gorge are both a short drive away. Or, head into the village of Cheddar for cafes, pubs and local cheese shops – it's a five-minute drive away.
