The House
This house is so much fun, from the minute you step inside the glass walled hallway! A kooky cow bench gives you somewhere to sit and take your shoes off, straight ahead are the stairs, up above is a big glitzy mirror ball.
Go through to the humongous open-plan living/entertaining space, and WOW! Pegged rafters soar to the ceiling, there’s air con, heating beneath the white marble tiles, modern art on the walls and possibly the funkiest sofas you’ve ever seen. This, dear people, is one mega happy house! There’s a games area with a pool table and arcade games, and to one side, a dining area for the kind of celebration feasts where you’ll want to linger. Behind a glass wall is the kitchen, sleek and stylish and very well equipped. Round the corner there’s a very sophisticated shower room.
The bedrooms are all upstairs off a long landing; Bedrooms 1, 2 and 5 are great for families or for friends sharing, as with additional beds on a mezzanine, they can all sleep 4. All rooms except Bedroom 6 have very striking ensuite shower rooms with opulent marble or porcelain tiles and large walk-in showers.
Full height doors open from the living space to the garden, all enclosed, like a playground for grown-ups. Get out there, perch at the bar* and sip mojitos, watch the latest on Love Island on the TV while the steaks sizzle on the barbie, take your seat in the covered dining area. And if it rains? Oh, just go pell-mell to the BBQ lodge, easy-peasy. Best of all is the hot tub – it’s a mighty one, with room for 13-14, and then there’s the sauna – waddya know, you’ve got your own private spa here!

Local Area
That wholesome vibe of staying on a farm, it gets you, so embrace it with a stroll up over the combe and back down to the village for hearty home cooked food at The Old Inn in Hutton.
This is the Mendip Hills National Landscape, so there’s plenty more to explore, like the craggy caves and ravines at Ebbor Gorge and Cheddar Caves and Gorge. Just a few miles away at Winscombe, adventurous sorts can book up adrenalin fuelled activities like caving, abseiling and climbing with Mendip Activity Centre, or skiing and snowboarding on the artificial slopes. If you like cycling, hire bikes and set off along the mostly traffic free Strawberry Line.
Lap up all the traditional seaside feels on the sands at Weston-super-Mare, stroll along the Grand Pier, enjoy high jinks at Pirate Adventureland, take the tinies to Little Town Adventures for interactive fun, and if you’re here around Christmas time, Icescape Tropicana is guaranteed to get you in the festive spirit.
Weston has a lot of good places to eat, like Ginger Pig for tapas, Sakura Finest Japanese Restaurant for sushi, and Il Michelangelo for fine dining Italian style.
There is so much to see and do in this part of the South West! Feel the Mendip magic; love, laugh, enjoy.
