Magical Sunset

Holiday Rental Description

This modern eco-lodge combines the typical countryside retreat with contemporary mod-cons and tech to create the perfect weekend away, where nothing but a little rest and relaxation will do. With plenty of nooks to hide and read inside and out, as well as the fully functional outdoor hot tub entirely at your disposal, you'll feel far removed from the fuss and flutter of your busy schedules in no time at all. There's also a leather chaise indoors and a chic open-plan kitchen-come-diner where you can tackle a few easy recipes with the help of the local produce. The living space is a bright and airy spot to unwind, with its high ceilings, dramatic spotlighting and French doors. Upon sliding these doors, you'll step onto a decked out terrace with a couple of trendy Acapulco chairs and a starlight canopied roof – it's calling out for alfresco drinks come evening. On top of all that, there's even a swanky freestanding bathtub for those rainy day hot tub alternatives. If you can peel yourself away from this sanctuary of calm, take a wander around the farmers' markets in the nearby village of Draycott. Or else, go for a morning walk through the Strawberry Fields Park, or venture out on an exporative day spent hiking up Cheddar Gorge, only a short seven-minute drive from home – cameras at the ready, the views here are sublime. And after a day spent embracing the great outdoors, retreat to the cosy living room sofa for a movie night in and prepare for another day of doing very little. Just the way we like it.
