Perched on a hill in Wookey Hole, this stone-built terraced cottage is the perfect hideaway for couples, small families, and their four-legged companions eager to explore the stunning Somerset countryside. Bask in the warmth of the crackling wood burner or slide open the veranda’s glass doors to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
Step inside this welcoming home, and you’ll find a light-filled kitchen equipped with everything needed to whip up delicious meals. An archway leads to the dining room, where a wood burner-effect heater adds a cosy touch. Afterwards, unwind in the homely lounge with its two comfortable sofas, rocking chair, and a wood burner that’s sure to be a hit with the hound. When it’s time to turn in, the cottage stairs lead to two snug bedrooms. The master room features a king-size bed, ornamental fireplace, vanity unit, and far-reaching views of Glastonbury Tor. A lovely single bedroom and a well-equipped family bathroom complete the first floor. Outside, the covered veranda with seating makes for a great spot to enjoy meals while Rover explores the fully enclosed borders. A convenient outdoor tap on the cottage wall ensures that muddy paws and boots can be easily washed off after a day of exploring. While private parking isn’t available, guests can use the community parking at the top of the hill, along with roadside parking throughout the village.
The cottage’s setting in the Mendip Hills offers an ideal base for dog walkers, with trails extending right from the doorstep. Rich with history and legend, Wookey Hole is famous for its awe-inspiring caves, located 0.5 miles away, though you’ll have to leave your four-pawed friend at home on this excursion! A vibrant day out is never far, with the city of Wells 2 miles away. Stroll through its cobbled streets lined with independent shops and eateries, then visit the iconic Wells Cathedral and historic Bishop’s Palace, where your pups can join you in the grounds and cafe. The quirky town of Glastonbury (8 miles) beckons with plenty of interesting sights, sounds and smells for inquisitive hounds to investigate while walking up Glastonbury Tor for views over the town.
