Just show me Somerset Cottages
For a wonderful blend of heritage, coast and countryside, our Somerset cottages stand out from the crowd. This captivating county is naturally blessed and boasts three AONBs (Quantock, Blackdown and Mendip Hills), the ruggedly beautiful Exmoor National Park and dramatic features like Cheddar Gorge.
Sweeping sandy beaches and attractive seaside resorts like
Weston-super-Mare and Minehead promise endless fun for
'toddlertastic' activities and high-energy water sports. Or
escape the crowds and opt for Exmoor's shores for
amazing coastal walks, wildlife watching, fossil
hunting and photography.
Along your travels, discover sleepy villages, bustling market towns and cider and cheese farms - great places to sample Cheddar and the local brew or replenish shelves in your Somerset cottage's fridge! And look out for local arts and crafts like traditional willow basket making.
With such spectacular surroundings, this is the ideal place to try some invigorating activities. Walk the Coleridge Way or coastal path. Go cycling in the Mendips, saddle up on Exmoor, fish for freshwater salmon and trout or visit the West Somerset Railway.
Attractions not-to-miss during your Somerset cottage stay include Wells Cathedral in England's smallest city, Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor, Wookey Hole and Cheddar Caves, various castles and stately homes, as well as heaps of exciting rides at Weston's state-of-the-art pier.
Dig out those flowery wellies and hang out at Glastonbury Festival. Add T4 on the Beach, the Tour of Britain, carnivals and country fairs - numerous events to enjoy on Somerset's annual calendar.
