  • Detached barn conversion a stone's throw from the Chew Valley Lake with secure enclosed garden
  • Situated north of the Mendip Hills and around 10 miles from Bristol
  • A network of lovely footpaths on the doorstep for you and your four legged friend 
Property code: 56550

With character features including exposed beams and stonework, the family will get a real sense of country living in this tastefully converted barn. A network of footpaths and cycle routes stretch from the property, offering your furry friends a new leash of life as they explore miles upon miles of the stunning surroundings. And when you’re done exploring, relax with a chilled glass of wine on the patio, catching the last of the day’s sunshine.

The delightful barn is arranged on one level and is bright and airy throughout. Large windows make the most of the picturesque rural setting, as does the conservatory. The lounge boasts a wood effect electric fire that the dogs will love snoozing beside after a busy day of adventure. With a charcoal BBQ and outdoor seating, the enclosed lawn garden is the perfect spot for al fresco dining in the balmy summer months.

You will be spoilt for choice for things to do here in the Chew Valley, with an animal park, wildlife trust reserve and the river to enjoy and explore. When you aren’t spending your time here, head 8 miles south to the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is home to a wide array of flora and fauna waiting to be discovered. Be sure to pack your walking boots so you can tackle (at least partly) the 50-mile Mendip Way trail, connecting Weston-super-Mare to Frome via Cheddar and Wells. For a more relaxing day trip, head to the historic city of Bath (14 miles), famed for its Georgian architecture and popular Roman Baths.

A very comfortable, spacious property with lovely decor and furnishings, located very near to Chew Valley lake for walking. Unfortunately, no open spaces nearby to run our dogs off lead, and the property was positioned on a very busy crossroads which generated a fair bit of traffic noise, and passing pedestrians, in what we thought would be a ruralRead more, peaceful location. Unfortunately, this also meant we had to keep some curtains drawn on certain windows to maintain our privacy. Hide

Very well presented neat and tidy cottage. Excellent to have a conservatory for an early morning cup of tea. Well equipped for our needs and more than enough room for four adults to relax of an evening after visiting nearby places of interest. Would certainly visit again.

We loved our stay at Twycross Lodge and if we decide to visit Somerset again it will be our first choice of accommodation. The cottage was immaculate and the private Garden too. The location was perfect for walks around the lake with our 2 dogs and for visiting nearby towns and villages.

A fantastic location close to the lake, for morning dog walks. Salt and Malt was an easy walk for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It was very important to us to have a safe garden, for our slightly crazy rescue dog. The kitchen was well equipped and it was nice to have two sitting areas. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay herRead moree again if we return to the area. Hide
