On the edge of the Somerset levels, the town of Bridgwater is an interesting destination with a bustling shopping centre. Being situated close to the Mendip Hills in the North and the Quantocks to the West, the town has several buildings of historical interest, an excellent selection of restaurants and pubs and is notable for the annual Bridgwater Illuminated Carnival in November using over 20,000 light bulbs resulting in a mesmerising display of colour, sound and entertainment. Cheddar is only a few miles away as is Glastonbury, home of King Arthur and pop festivals. The fascinating wetland areas surrounding Bridgwater are internationally renowned for wintering wildfowl and wading birds and support numerous species of breeding birds. Nearby Shapwick Heath is an excellent example of a wetland nature reserve well worth a visit. Bridgwater offers the holidaymaker a rich variety of activities both rural and urban and is conveniently placed for all visitors.

Previous visitors' comments about Buzzard Heights:
The owners were friendly and the children particularly liked taking the dog for a walk. The woods were a delight to walk in, even though it rained everyday. A clean house in a lovely setting. The en-suite bathrooms were a real hit.
Ms Smith, Norwich, October 2012
Great scenery, well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, great beds and nice outside space. Everything is there to make a lovely home from home. We will be going back next year.
Mrs Phillips, Reading, October 2012
Everything was even better than your advert described! An excellent cottage and we rebooked within a week. Recommending to family and friends and think this could well become our annual respite away. Owners very friendly and helpful.
Mrs Phillips, Reading, June 2012
Beautiful location set on a hillside with views from the bedroom across open countryside. We were particularly spoilt by having the benefit of very favourable weather during our stay. The owners also made us very welcome, and at home in no time.
