Moments from Cheddar and Bristol, this dog-friendly country retreat offers sweeping views across rolling green hills. Inside, it’s modern rural living at its best – think wood burners, two inviting lounges, an open-plan kitchen-dining space, and expansive glass windows that blur the line between indoors and out. The bedrooms are all generously sized (so no squabbling), and the separate annexe is ideal for extended families or extra guests. Outside, there’s a hot tub for the grown-ups and a play area to keep the little ones happy. Whether you're here to hike, explore, or simply take it slow, this spot makes it easy.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
