Set
within 60 acres of farmland backed by the Mendip Hills, just 4 miles
from the vast sandy beaches at Brean and Barrow, these six charming
cottages provide the ideal base for exploring this lovely corner of
England. Sympathetically converted from former barns to offer
extremely comfortable and well appointed accommodation, the cottages
all share a large landscaped courtyard. Each enjoys its own sitting
out area.
The cottages at Poplar Farm enjoy a setting that is rural and utterly
peaceful yet is within easy reach of a wealth of places of interest.
Cheddar Gorge, with its towering cliffs, stalagmite filled caves and
its 10,000 year old man on display in the museum, makes a fascinating
trip. So too does Wookey hole, an eerie network of underground caves,
rivers and pools plus museums and family attractions. Bath is well
worth a visit – an elegant city of golden stone with its Roman Baths
and museum, The Royal Crescent and Robert Adam's Pulteney Bridge over
the River Avon, as well as a wonderful assortment of shops and
restaurants. Visitors to mystical Glastonbury (the site of the
celebrated festival) will discover its 13th century ruined abbey, and
sweeping views from the famous Tor. Also not far distant is Wells, the
smallest city in England but boasting one of its finest cathedrals.
Traditional seaside amusements can be enjoyed on Weston-Super-Mare's
promenade and piers and there are pony rides on the beach at Brean.
This is wonderful walking and cycling country and the hills, forests
and heathland of the Quantocks and Exmoor are easily accessible.
Fishing, riding and golf can be found within 5 miles. Shop and pubs
serving food 1 mile.
