In an excellent location just 2.5 miles from the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, this luxury homestead makes a wonderful holiday base for a family and their dogs. It’s surrounded by gorgeous countryside and is surrounded by a large shared lawn that’s sure to get the bark of approval from your four-legged friends. You’ll be in the sweet village of Badgworth, known for its microbrewery which ale lovers will appreciate – it’d be rude not to go and sample some local IPA, pilsner or stout!
The property is one of four adjoining homes, all with period charm and renovated to an exceptional standard. Inside, a beautifully designed open-plan area forms the hub of the home, featuring a chic kitchen, a snug lounge and a dedicated dining alcove. The raw beauty of exposed stone walls serves to amplify the cosiness of the room, especially when you spark up the wood burner. After busy days out enjoying the Somerset hills, switch on the Smart TV for a quiet night in with your pets at your feet. From the lounge, doors open into the garden where you’ll have a patio, lawn, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ so you can cook in the fresh air when the weather’s good – extra sausages for the fluffballs, please.
You’ll have a lovely country pub 1.5 miles away and plenty of shops in the historical village of Axbridge (2.5 miles), which has a lovely medieval square and museum. To make a cheese pilgrimage and be wowed by a natural limestone wonder, head to Cheddar Gorge (6.5 miles). Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to sniff out the caves (6 miles), where you can admire spectacular stalagmites and stalactites and see the site where a 10,000-year-old skeleton was found. Other popular sites you can explore with your pet are Wells Cathedral (13 miles), the quirky town of Glastonbury (also 13 miles) and the city of Bristol (21 miles).
