Explore Somerset and the Mendip Hills from this attractive converted grain store in the small cathedral city of Wells, with two happy hounds by your side. Your party of up to four guests can wander the historic streets, take in the cathedral views and head out into your beautiful surroundings to stretch furry legs and immerse yourselves in spectacular scenery. Visit famous sights, such as Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Tor, then return home to relax together in your comfortable, welcoming cottage.

Step into your bright, inviting holiday home which still features some original flagstones. Head into the lounge to read a book, switch on the TV or watch a DVD while your perfect pets keep you company. You’ll find more seating plus a Smart TV in the dining room. Prepare tasty meals in your appealing kitchen with low ceiling, and wash doggy towels and blankets in the washing machine if you need to. Head upstairs to find both inviting bedrooms have beautiful views and one additionally benefits from an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom to share. Take your pals for a walk around Wells in the morning then return to serve everyone a hearty breakfast before heading off for the day. In warm weather, hounds and humans alike will enjoy relaxing out in the fresh air on the sunny patio.

Enjoy numerous walks through Wells and out into the countryside from your base. Visit iconic locations with your contented canines by your side: try Glastonbury Tor, 7.5 miles away, and Cheddar Gorge, 11 miles away, for example. From the gorge, follow scenic footpaths through the beautiful Mendip Hills.

Vespers is well located for exploring Wells and the surrounding area. Its clean, decently equipped and cosy. Just a 10 to 15 minute walk from the bus station; less to the High Street and numerous eating and drinking venues. Parking can be tricky and the car park opposite is extremely expensive.
