COVID-19: January 2021 update.
As hopefully you know the UK is effectively in lockdown (Tier 4) and as a result Gorge View Cottage is closed throughout January. Beyond that it will depend on government review and we will keep this updated.
As in first lockdown we have in the meantime made the cottage available to local essential workers needing to separate from families to protect them against potential exposure, and to keep working. We now have a lovely local couple staying.
Guests who are booked need not worry in terms of finances: booking that must be cancelled  or even bookings you wish to cancel, will get a full refund and we offer this up to two days before the day or arrival. Once restrictions have eased and bookings can be honoured, we will be continuing our extended cleaning regime to ensure the cottage is as safe as can be
. Except in special circumstances we are also for now ensuring a 3-day quarantine period between bookings  Read more here.


We now offer Electric Vehicle charging, all from renewable
            energy, and free to guests

A sustainable haven with fantastic views of Cheddar Gorge

Gorge View Cottage is an award-winning sustainable four-star self-catering holiday cottage for two, nestling in the foothills of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Originally an old gardeners cottage, it was recently fully renovated to exacting environmental standards whilst maintaining its natural charm, with attention paid to sustainability and comfort throughout. 

Situated in a small lane, conveniently located in Cheddar village, the cottage has uninterrupted and panoramic views to the nearby gorge. It stands opposite the main Gorge View house, and customers have access to the house’s working permaculture garden.

For anyone needing a gentle break from the pressures of life Gorge View Cottage has it all; a haven for walkers and nature lovers, with easy access to stunning walks around the Mendips and the famous gorge. The caves, shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes all just a few minutes' walk away. 

Cheddar provides an excellent base for exploring further afield. The beautiful city of Wells, Wookey Hole Caves, the Somerset levels and coast at Brean Down or Weston-Super-Mare, the market town of Glastonbury with its Tor, ancient Abbey and diverse shops are all within 15 miles. Bristol, Bath and Exeter are a leisurely day trip.
