About this house rental

Quirky & spacious, 'Old Angel' in lovely Axbridge enjoys pride of place in a Medieval Square. And offers a best-of-both-worlds location: near renowned Cheddar Gorge in the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with stunning Somerset countryside on the doorstep - and in easy reach of three great UK cities: Bristol, Bath & little Wells.

With wood-burners, a large rambling 'secret' garden & arty charm, it's a home-from-home house, loved by guests for relaxing friend & family get-together's. Airport, coast, culture & heritage sites all nearby.

A Listed house which combines a sense of history with contemporary comfort, the Old Angel is artisan and eclectic in style - flagstone & wood floors, old fireplace or two, scattering of beams, up-cycled furniture, vintage & arty decor.

With a Mediterranean style courtyard for al fresco dining/BBQ area, there's plenty of outdoor space to relax in.

Hidden away from the house and past the Little Angel annexe at the rear of house, is a large and secluded 'secret' garden, with steps leading up to various terraces. Do note that another guest or family member occasionally stays in the apartment, which has it has its own separate entrance & won't impact on your stay in the house. The entire rambling garden is yours to enjoy. Please note: not suitable for unsupervised youngsters.

Spread over three storeys - with 5 bedrooms on each of the first and top floors and an upstairs lounge - the flexible accommodation happily suits either small or larger numbers of guests.

We'd like the house to feel like home-from-home. With a fully equipped kitchen, gas hob/fan oven, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, fridge & freezer it's well suited for self-catering.

Eating out is also an easy option. Axbridge itself has two good food-serving pubs and charming tearoom. There's a huge variety of restaurants, cafe's and eateries throughout the area: from great fish & chips to Michelin rated inns.

Not to mention those famous cream teas, Farmers' Markets, cider tasting farms & character rural pubs!

We have just arrived back from a weekend in this beautiful house. It was a reunion of 8 school friends and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house in a beautiful location. The house was so well equipped with everything we needed for our weekend. The house is beautifully decorated with so much space. The outdoor space was amazing and the garden just kept on going. We highly recommend this house and had a perfect weekend away.

Facilities very good. Everything we required for our stay, including bedding, towels, blankets, etc. Beds very comfortable and clean. All equipment and utensils needed were available, including use of condiments, spices and oils. Local amenities were great. Local pub and supermarket for all essentials. Hosts very friendly and accommodating. Had clear expectations and instructions for each room and facility available. Highly recommend the house and hosts. Fantastic stay. Thank you.

Booked this beautiful house for a birthday weekend and it was simply great. A great location and a warm friendly pub just steps away. We loved it, Saturday morning was amazing as the Farmers Market was on the doorstep. The only regret was not being able to enjoy the wonderful garden as we went in November as I expect it would be outstanding in the summer. Totally recommended.

The Old Angel is amazing, a spacious, cosy property full of character and charm. Ideal position, close to pub, shop and a tasty breakfast. Would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at The Old Angel, in fact I think we'll all be back.

We had an amazing stay at the old Angel. The house is really cute, but spaciyenough for a group of 9 adults. After a long day walking through the Cheddar Gorges, it's the perfect place to get back to, cook a 3 course meal in the fully equipped kitchen, after which we relaxed and played games next to the log fire. We fully recommend, and would stay here again when visiting the area again. Thank Marianne & Simon for having us!

We had a lovely weekend in this very special property. A 16th century former inn, loads of space - no low ceilings despite its age! Best equipped kitchen I have ever stayed in. Lovely log fires, comfortable beds and beautiful art and 'objets' all around the house. The house is in a very pretty village which is full of history and historical buildings. We ran around the reservoir, had a great trip to Wells and did lovely walking from the house onto the hill behind it. Could not recommend it more.
