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.
