The property

Pete’s Place is a delightful sandstone cottage resting in in the village of Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton, Somerset, showcasing traditional beams, feature fireplaces, and an enclosed garden ideal for families and dogs.

Set over two floors, this appealing retreat blends character with practical living, creating a welcoming base for guests seeking both countryside charm and easy access to local amenities.

Step inside and be greeted by a thoughtfully arranged interior, where the sitting room invites you to unwind beside the glow of the woodburning stove, perfect after a day of exploring.

The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing hearty meals, while the adjoining dining room, adorned with wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace, provides a lovely setting for gathering together over food and conversation.

Upstairs, two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, offer flexible sleeping arrangements, complemented by a sleek shower room for freshening up each morning.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a true highlight, with a stunning hot tub taking centre stage and complete with patio, lawn, and barbecue, offering plenty of space for children and dogs to roam freely while you enjoy alfresco dining.

Just a short stroll brings you to local shops and a nearby pub, ideal for picking up essentials or enjoying a meal.

From here, venture to Weston-super-Mare to explore its sandy beach, traditional pier, and seaside amusements, or head to Burnham-on-Sea, where miles of coastline and the iconic lighthouse await discovery.

Minehead offers access to the edge of Exmoor National Park, where scenic walking routes and coastal paths provide unforgettable days out.

Closer still, the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty delivers sweeping views and excellent walking opportunities, while nature reserves such as Ham Wall, Greylake, and Swell Wood offer a chance to spot wildlife in beautiful surroundings.

Pete’s Place is a wonderful base for exploring the best of Somerset.

Where you’ll be staying

TAUNTON

Bridgwater 11 miles; Tiverton 21 miles; Weston-super-Mare 30 miles.

The county town of Somerset, Taunton is the perfect cottage holiday destination. The town has excellent buildings with charming stone and Tudor architecture, and there is also fascinating history in the town stretching back over 1000 years including a 10th-century monastery. Taunton boasts a choice of museums and parks, one of which has held the Taunton Flower Show for over 150 years. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Quantock and Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are easily accessible, as well as the Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks slightly further afield, plus Swell Wood, Ham Wall, and Greylake nature reserves. If a day by the sea is what you're after, the coast is around 20.4 miles away and home to Blue Anchor Bay and St Audries Bay near Watchet; Burnham-on-Sea beach; Kilve beach near Minehead and, of course, the popular seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare, 32.7 miles away but well worth the journey with its great range of activities.
