Cosy Somerset Retreat

The cottage is part of a historic gate house that was the entrance to the Bishop of Wells's Palace when he moved to Somerset to escape the Plague. There is some excavation in the garden to the right of the house that shows the old cobblestone floor and original wall of the palace. The Roman Arch is listed in the Dooms Day book. Cottage has thick stone walls and relaxing vibe, beautiful garden filled with bird song, there are comfy beds and plenty of great walks and sites to visit in the area. The space There is a large sitting room with very efficient log burner - wood can be purchased from the local garage. Perfect hang out on a winters day. Family sized country kitchen finished with granite work tops and a wooden kitchen table. Electric range oven. Newly fitted downstairs loo. Three good sized double bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms, one with shower one with bath. There is also a lovely big garden and parking for three cars. Guest access There is one car space in front of house next to the arch on the right and two-three spaces in the drive way jutting into the garden. Other things to note We have parking for 3 cars in the driveway which is in the garden and one more space at the end of the private lane, just before the archway, in front of our side of gatehouse.
