A sustainable haven with fantastic views of Cheddar Gorge

Picture
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.

COVID-19
We are essentially to "back to normal" with flexibility and bookings. We are continuing with the deep cleaning at each turnaround, the same as when we started at the beginning  of the COVID threat and before everything locked down. We have now stopped putting a three night quarantine gap between bookings because we are sure our regime does make the cottage safe for guests. In Cheddar all restaurants and pubs, shops and attractions are all running pretty much as usual - indeed bookings are advised. Cheddar Caves is open again.
