The outdoor, heated swimming pool is usually open from May to September. Set in a courtyard with a southerly aspect, the area is also used throughout the day and early evening for sunbathing and drinks.

Overlooking the pool is the gymnasium room, containing exercise bike, multi-gym, free weights, shower and toilet.

At the top of the orchard is the games room with table tennis, darts and pool table. Also available is croquet, and a range of board games and jigsaw puzzles.

Laundry facilities are situated on site with two large washing machines and a large tumble dryer. We also have a freezer to take your catch, should you be successful on the lake.

Also available on site are a range of wine tastings, put together with fun and just a little learning in mind.

Within an easy drive are the historic port of Bristol, with Brunels’ S S Great Britain and Clifton Suspension Bridge; Bath and its’ glorious Georgian architecture and Roman Spa Baths; and the delightful town of Wells, with its’ magnificent medieval cathedral.

Nearby are the spectacular Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole – both famous for their caves; the Victorian seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare; and Glastonbury, with its’ pagan heritage, the famous Abbey and Tor and the legend of King Arthur.

In addition to exploring the local countryside on foot or touring by car, opportunities for activity abound with fishing on the nearby Blagdon, Berrow and Chew Valley Lakes, horse riding at several local stables and clay pigeon shoots at various sites close by.

Pubs abound locally, serving good food and beer. Among the best are the Queen Adelaide in Blagdon and the Carpenters Arms in Stanton Wick.
