Charming little cottage in pristine condition with a wonderful view of gorge and village; a very short walk to pubs, shops, and delicious ice cream (over 50 flavors!). Host Hew was most helpful and pleasant. Home garden supplied us with fresh raspberries! Stayed nine days in Somerset, first time, while exploring the area and searching for ancestral roots in towns and villages. Cheddar Gorge Village is delightful, with wonderful history, and Cheddar cheese is actually produced right there. The nearby grocery is well stocked; we LOVED the Warburton's multi-grain bread! Also arranged for special sunrise tour of Stonehenge and tour of Roman Baths; met tour group from London at site, excellent and highly recommend. Attended a local Rotary dinner meeting at Burrington and met wonderful, interesting locals. A special visit was arranged for us to meet with the Rotarian member/proprietor and tour his family operated Lye Cross Farms, which produces wonderful cheeses and more! It is a totally integrated, self-sustaining farming system of which the family and Somerset should be very proud! As we were told, "the cow reigns supreme"!!!
FYI, ensuite bedroom is upstairs, but no problem negotiating stairs. Driveway entrance/exit onto very narrow two-way lane requires great caution, esp. for Americans driving on "wrong" side of roads! Also, guests should bring bath soaps and shampoo.
If we return to the area would stay again and will recommend to fellow travelers!
