Photos and Description of this Cheddar & Bridgwater holiday farmhouse 4 bedroomed cottage with bedsettee in one of three reception rooms- sleeps 10

At the foot of the world famous Cheddar Gorge within the charming village of Cheddar, this is a ideal holiday retreat! Cheddar caves fired the imagination of JRR Tolkien. author of ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, who came here on honeymoon in 1916. The caves are just 300m from the cottage which is situated next to Frank's restaurant and opposite The White Hart, a quiet village pub popular with walkers and cavers. Cheddar lies in the heart of the Mendips, an area renowned for walking and beautiful scenery. The nearest beach is a 25 minute drive. The Clarks Village Outlet shopping centre is just 20 minutes away. The historic towns of Bath, Bristol, Glastonbury & Wells are also close by and much of the West Country is easily accessible. Locally there are many activities on offer including cycling, mountain biking, go-karting, fishing, golf, horse riding, quad biking, dry slope skiing, tobogganing, rock climbing, abseiling, caving - not to forget tasting the local cheese and cider!

Super accommodation, perfect spot

WendyAlison Hampshire, UK
Review Submitted: March 2, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2009
We stayed at The Bays in late February for a weekend and it was just perfect - 6 adults and 3 children and we all had a ball. Its perfect to doing the sights/walks of cheddar without having to get in the car as everything is walkable - particularly all the lovely restaurants/pubs/cafes etc. Accommodation is spotlessly clean, well appointed and beds all comfy. Great having two TV rooms so that everyone from age 2 to 76 was happy. We did the Cheddar bus tour with the cave which was OK - but probably only worth doing the cave as the bus wasn't that good. Also, if you walk up the lane behind the new Indian restaurant you come out on the top of Jacobs ladder with stunning views as and access to the tower without having to pay. We had fantastic weather (amazing for this year considering what its been like) so it all worked a treat.

Highly recommend it. Cheese good too of course!!
