Heron's Nest Wells, Somerset

Property Description

For a small family or a group of friends, holiday homes don't get much better than this. An eco-cottage equipped with a wood-burning stove and a lovely open-plan living room, it's ideal for hanging out, watching movies, and dining in around the sleek white table. Then, when you're ready to take on the world outside, there's a day out to suit everyone's tastes – from walking the West Mendip Way to climbing up Jacob's Ladder to peer over Cheddar Gorge or getting in touch with your spiritual side at Glastonbury Tor. However, staying in is no less fun, especially with the outdoor hot tub bubbling away in the background. The wrap-around terrace is a great place to put your feet up and relax on the loungers or even a spot of alfresco dining while you watch the sun go down. When the weather isn't playing ball, pick up some local produce from the nearby shops and use the well-equipped kitchen to whip up a speciality or two. This home also boasts two luxuriously cosy bedrooms with green views that will help you recharge and prepare for another day of kicking back and relaxing.
