The Barn

This pretty, detached cottage is situated beside the owner's cottage on the edge of Compton Bishop. South facing and with country views to the Mendips, it is a lovely place for couples. From a pretty courtyard, open the door to your smart kitchen which is well equipped for preparing meals to carry up steep stairs to the dining room where you can admire views over fields as you eat. Afterwards, relax and watch TV or enjoy more views in the big, comfy sitting room with its traditional wood burning stove. A peaceful night's sleep is on the cards in the double bedroom with its en suite shower room. The courtyard has a sunny table and chairs for sitting out. This is an excellent area for road cycling or mountain biking, so why not bring your bikes since there is a lockable store for them? There is splendid walking around the Mendips too, as well as riding, fishing, bird watching and golf. Historic houses and gardens to visit abound, and the caves at Cheddar Gorge are a must-see. Beaches can be found at Weston-super-Mare and Burnham, and it's not far to explore Bristol and Bath. With all these amazing sights in the area, The Barn is brilliantly located for a fascinating break.
