About this property

Spacious, comfortable cottage for families exploring Somerset

Perfect for families, this cottage has a large garden and is great as a base for touring Somerset.

Offering delightful holiday accommodation for families, this holiday property makes an ideal base from which to explore Somerset and North Devon. Barrowswood, a semi-detached holiday cottage, enjoys commanding views over Cheddar Gorge in the distance. Its large garden adjoins a field with occasional visiting sheep and is the perfect spot in which to relax and unwind with magnificent views over the field and across to Cheddar Gorge.
Cheddar village offers plenty of interesting shops and cafes as well as other attractions. Cheddar Gorge, Britain’s largest limestone ravine gouged through the Mendips, is a magnet for climbers, walkers and visitors to the floodlit caves and Cheddar Reservoir is a great place to take a picnic, look out for wildlife and join in activities such as sailing and angling. Axbridge is a charming market town with a medieval square and half-timbered buildings, whilst Wookey Hole attracts many visitors to the showcaves. Wells is England’s smallest city set around a cathedral; Wedmore is a lively town with many individual shops and eateries, Glastonbury is famous for its music festival, spiritual culture and King Arthur legends, and the coastal resorts and magnificent beaches at Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea, Berrow and Brean are all within a short drive, as are the cities of Bath and Bristol. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Very pleasant holiday accommodation
We were a group of four friends who found the property very welcoming and choose a larger property to allow us a bedroom each. Close to Cheddar so walkable and also near to lots of amenities and towns to visit

Enjoyable stay
Enjoyable stay. Facilities as described. Plenty of space to socialise together inside or in the garden. Our 9 yr old grandson said he would like to live here.

A lovely getaway
Much more spacious than the photos depict, lovely views, great garden, comfy beds, sound sleeps, sociable spaces, great Aga, close to houses on one side but all peaceful and completely private once through the little private road, I would 100% recommend the property, just wish we had another week.

Lovely property a short distance from Cheddar Gorge
We've just returned from a family break at Barrowswood for my mum's 60th. Property was perfect for the whole family including lots of indoor and outdoor space to keep the kids entertained. Amanda allowed us to arrive for a slightly earlier check-in and greeted us shortly after we arrived to check everything was OK. Would 100% recommend and stay again. Thanks.
