Description from owner

Description

Gorge View Cottage is an old gardener's cottage recently fully renovated to exacting environmental standards, with access to the large permaculture garden. This four-star and Gold graded (Visit England) and Gold award (Green Tourism) accommodation is ideal for one or two people and it is available for week or weekend self-catering hire throughout the year.

We accept booking for complete weeks on TripAdvisor/FlipKey, but please contact us if you are interested in stays from 2-days and upwards for a specific quote. Better still check out our own website.

Situated in a small lane, conveniently located in Cheddar village, the cottage has uninterrupted and panoramic views to the gorge. It is the perfect holiday location with easy access to stunning walks around the Mendips and the gorge itself; with the caves, shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes all just a few minutes' walk away.

Slightly further afield are attractions such as the beautiful city of Wells, more caves at Wookey Hole, the Somerset coast at Brean Down or Weston-Super-Mare, and of course Glastonbury with the Tor, alternative shops and the ancient Abbey.

For anyone needing a gentle break from the pressures of life Gorge View Cottage has it all.

Getting around

Lots of good walking from the cottage door up on to the Mendips or out on to the Levels. We have to good bikes we lend to guests - good for (e.g.) a cycle along the Strawberry Line (old rail path). Buses service Wells (12km) and Weston-Super-Mare (21km). By car there are lots of great places, rural and city, in very easy reach.

Interaction with guest

We live in Gorge View House next door to the cottage and share the drive. When you turn up we'll probably be in and pop out to meet and greet you, quickly show you the key things about the cottage and then let you get on with settling in. Our approach is that we will assume everything is fine, but if you want some information, want to know how something works, need to borrow some kitchen equipment, or a bowl of sugar, or have help lighting the wood burning stove if you'd like to try it ... then please just ask.

Looking at earlier reviews I can see that all of the superlatives haves been used so I’ll just say that I agree with the previous 5 star reviews. The cottage is comfortable, clean, warm, well equipped and in a superb location. The owners are friendly and live next door but are not intrusive. All in all. Superb!
