Surrounded by farmland close to Chew Valley Lake the Hayloft is a tranquil, one bedroom stone cottage situated in the Mendips AONB Dark Sky area. Enjoy the peace and quiet yet have easy access to the great cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells and day trips to Glastonbury and Cheddar Gorge. The space The Hayloft is a sympathetically converted stone barn and part of a traditional stable block surrounded by Mendip Hill AONB farmland and close to the Chew Valley Lake. It has been comfortably furnished with a mixture of modern and mid-century items and has all that you need for a relaxed holiday. Upstairs it has one bedroom with a double bed and ensuite shower and WC accessed by a steep open tread staircase. The lounge and open plan kitchen/diner are down stairs and have a wood burner, wifi, TV, cooker and fridge and plenty of kitchen equipment. ONE SMALL well behaved dog is very welcome. There are three lovely local pubs with great food and local ale and cider within walking distance and we are close to a super farm shop with cafe as well as two local Spar supermarkets. Visitors to the area can enjoy many walks directly from the property including access to the Limestone Link National Trail to the Cotswolds and the Butcombe pub Trail. Being in a Dark Sky area means that star gazing can be spectacular on clear evenings. There is a wide variety of wildlife to watch out for, we are lucky to have a large number of bats around the Hayloft and bird watching is especially rewarding particularly around the lake. The area is very popular with cyclists and there is horse riding and fishing available nearby. Those wishing to venture to the city are spoilt for choice with Bristol, Bath and Wells just a short drive away but can return to peace and tranquility. Guest access Accessed through a driveway the Hayloft is part of a traditional stable block and has off road parking.
