    “It's an absolutely beautiful well appointed little cottage with a lovely garden, no near neighbours and surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet within easy access to the City of Wells.”

    It's not the first time we've been and it certainly won't be the last

The property

This detached, well-presented cottage enjoys a beautiful setting in its own landscaped grounds, within the rural village of Wookey Hole near Wells.

Offering comforting furnishings throughout, this charming dwelling is an ideal choice for families or two couples looking to escape normality and explore the luscious landscapes of Somerset.

Discover the open-plan living space following a day of rambles, offering a cosy sitting area where you can kick back whilst the woodburner keeps you toasty.

Take advantage of the amply-equipped kitchen during mealtimes, preparing your go-to dishes before setting the dining table to catch-up on the day.

Retire to one of the bedrooms, both well-presented with super-king-size zip/link beds, offering flexibility as twins on request, while the master offers a feature roll-top bath where you can enjoy a lazy soak before bed.

Outside there is a patio and lawned garden to the side and rear of the cottage, making a great place for the kids to let off some steam or even some alfresco dining.

For the evenings away from the kitchen, venture into Wells where you can find a number of bars, cafés and restaurants, providing something for all budgets and palettes, as well as twice weekly farmers markets so that you can pick up local ingredients to enjoy at your self-catering cottage.

The West Mendip Way, a 30-mile route over the Mendip hills - an area of outstanding natural beauty - from Weston-super-Mare to Wells, England's smallest city, goes right past Lilac Cottage.

For a spot of history, visit Wells historic buildings, including the magnificent Wells Cathedral, the moated Bishop’s Palace and the 14th century Vicars Close, the oldest inhabited residential street in Europe.

Nearby are the fascinating Wookey Hole Caves, where you can explore the caves, while there are also plenty of educational sources on Dinosaurs, Minerals and Rocks, Paper Making and the Stone Age, fun for all the family!

Immerse yourself in local culture at the Somerset markets, indulging yourself with artisan food, antiques, vintage and retro wares, hand-made gifts and artworks.

Return each evening to the comfort and warmth of Lilac Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

WELLS

Coxley 2 miles; Shepton Mallet 6 miles; Glastonbury 6 miles; Cheddar 9 miles.

Wells, England’s smallest city, is named after the springs which still bubble up today in the grounds of its splendid Bishop's Palace with its famous moat. Adjacent is the beautiful 12th century cathedral situated within a most attractive cathedral close and green. Nearby, Vicars Close is home to the oldest complete medieval street in Europe, and the quaint market square offers an array of interesting shops, boutiques and restaurants, and a colourful twice-weekly market. The surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provides a wealth of scenic footpaths and rugged landscapes, and is a superb base for caving and rock climbing, and for road, biking and mountain biking. Nearby are the attractions of Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole Caves, both offering great days out. The picturesque Somerset Levels, as well as mystical Glastonbury are also situated an easy drive away. The beautiful city of Bath, with its Roman Baths, Thermae Bath Spa, The Theatre Royal and wonderful shops, is under 30 miles away, as is the vibrant city of Bristol, which boasts a multitude of attractions, including The Zoo, Theatres, the Aquarium, the Arnol Fini Art Gallery and many more. All in all, this beautiful city makes a convenient and ideal touring base. With so much to see and do, there is something to keep everyone entertained!
