Description
Glastonbury 4 miles.
The Nest is a neatly presented first-floor annex tucked away in the village of Meare, Somerset.
Offering a welcoming base for couples seeking a relaxing countryside break with elevated rural views and a toasty electric fire.
Park off-road and take in the open field views that are visible from the parking area, giving you an immediate sense of the rural setting.
From here, a gravel path leads to the external stairs, which rise to the entrance of this first-floor annex, where the outlook opens up further thanks to its elevated position.
Step inside into the open-plan studio, where the countryside views continue to draw the eye.
Begin your stay by settling into the sitting area, where a two-seater sofa and coffee table create a relaxed spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.
As evenings draw in, switch on the electric fire and enjoy its gentle warmth while reading, chatting, or planning the next day’s adventures.
The kitchenette is arranged for simple, easy meals, whether you are boiling the kettle for a fresh brew, preparing a light bite using the microwave or airfryer, or laying out cups and cutlery for an unhurried breakfast together.
The dining area provides a comfortable place to sit and enjoy these moments, keeping everything within easy reach.
The double bed sits neatly within the studio layout, allowing you to drift naturally from the living space into rest.
Wake to views across the surrounding fields, then start the day in the separate shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, offering a clean and practical space to refresh before heading out.
A village shop can be reached with ease for everyday essentials, while a nearby pub and riverside walks offer tempting options for gentle outings.
For a rewarding day out, head into Wells and wander through its historic streets, pause to admire the cathedral rising above the city, browse independent shops tucked along characterful lanes, and linger over lunch in one of the welcoming cafés. A short drive will bring you to Cheddar Gorge, where you can follow winding routes through dramatic scenery, look up at towering cliffs as you explore on foot, and take time to enjoy the changing views across the landscape.
For something a little different, visit Wookey Hole and spend the day discovering its underground world, moving from cavern to cavern, enjoying the sense of exploration, and rounding things off with a relaxed stop nearby before returning to the calm of the countryside.
Settle into The Nest and discover an agreeable annex for two in the heart of Somerset.

What guests are saying
Review of The Nest, Meare Meare is a tiny, peaceful village with incredibly friendly residents.
It’s the kind of place that offers complete solitude and a real break from the noise of city life. Anyone choosing to stay here should be aware that a car is essential - both for getting around and for accessing basic amenities. The Nest itself is clean, quiet and set in a lovely, tranquil location. However, the accommodation is very basic. It would probably suit someone passing through Meare who simply needs a place to sleep for the night, rather than anyone planning a longer stay. The advert doesn’t make it clear just how limited the facilities are. The “kitchenette” is essentially a microwave and kettle placed on a table, with a couple of drawers containing minimal crockery and a small fridge. There is no sink, no coffee maker and no hot plate of any kind. The wooden chairs, a single armless leather chair, and two tiny coffee tables also don’t realistically make for a comfortable dining area. While heating may be adequate in winter for a loft conversion, there is no provision for summer visits, not even a fan, which makes the space quite uncomfortable in warm weather. The listing also mentions a village shop that can be easily reached for essentials. This is not accurate. There is no shop in Meare. The nearest place to buy basics is Glastonbury town centre, which is a 10‑minute drive or roughly a 1-hour 30-minute walk. Additional points to note: there is no television or iron, and the WiFi password provided does not work. A small suggestion for the owners: for guests arriving late at night or without a car, even a simple pint of milk in the fridge would make a meaningful difference. Meare is a beautiful, quiet village, and The Nest has potential as a stopover location, but clearer advertising and a few thoughtful additions would greatly improve the experience for future visitors.
