About this house rental

Avoid the trek into Cheddar from the lodge parks! Highcroft Cottage is a luxury 2 bed cottage in the very centre of Cheddar with the most spectacular views of Cheddar Gorge from its own private balcony. Check out the photos! Located at the foot of Cheddar Gorge (but in an elevated position to take full advantage of the views) this pretty, stone built cottage could not be better situated to explore all that Cheddar (and the rest of Somerset) has to offer. It also has free Wifi.

Weekly bookings are available during the peak summer season of June - September inclusive (changeover day is Saturday) and short breaks may also be available (outside of the peak summer season) for a minimum of 3 x nights. Please enquire before booking for short breaks and also for prices at Christmas.

If you want to, you can just park up and leave the car as all of the cafes, tearooms, pubs and shops of Cheddar (as well as the Gorge itself) are within a few minutes walk. Axbridge village, with its pretty medieval square, is within walking distance too. (You will need a car or other form of private transport to travel further afield)

Bath, Bristol, Glastonbury and Taunton are just a short drive away, as is the picturesque Chew Valley and its surrounding villages.

Perfect for ramblers, cyclists, fishing enthusiasts (with Chew Valley lake and Blagdon lake nearby), bird watchers, rock climbers or photographers (the ever-changing scenery is fascinating) - or just relaxing in total comfort - Highcroft has all you need for a wonderful break from the norm. And do feel free to bring man's best friend! Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome; with country walks starting just a stone's throw from the door, your doggy companions will be in heaven.

Sleeping 4 people, Highcroft will suit couples, small families (children must be over 12 years old, please) or a group of friends (of course, solo holidaymakers are very welcome too!) Please note however that, because of its elevated position, Highcroft is not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Downstairs, this lovely property has a modern sitting room (with comfortable sofa bed), a bright kitchen diner, an understairs storage cupboard and a cloakroom (toilet and hand-basin). Upstairs you will find 1 x double bedroom, 1 x single bedroom and a shower room. There is plenty of cupboard space to store your clothes and belongings.

Both the kitchen and the sitting room have french doors opening out onto the decked balcony where those stunning views over Cheddar Gorge will become apparent - there really is no better place to watch the sun popping up over the Mendips, first thing in the morning.

Highcroft also has its own private, enclosed, patio garden with waterfall and small pond - quite the nicest spot for a lazy lunch or to sit with a glass of wine (or three!) in the evenings.

Parking for one car is available on the owner's drive with on-street parking available a short walk away. The cottage has its own private pedestrian access.

The property has a lounge and kitchen dinner, two bedrooms, downstairs toilet and upstairs bathroom. Very well equipped. There is a lovely veranda to sit on and two other areas to sit in. There is carparking. It is very central with lovely views of Cheddar Gorge. The hosts were great and very helpful. We hired the cottage so we could attend our daughters wedding and be around to be with family. I would highly recommend.

Balcony was a big plus. Morning coffee and breakfast overlooking the perfumed garden, with wider views into Cheddar Gorge. There are multiple walks within easy reach, ranging from 3.5 to 9 miles round trip. Cheddar itself boasts multiple good pubs, restaurants and takeaways. We hardly needed the car all week which is what we hoped when booking. Evening sun floods the lower terrace, situated next to an ornamental waterfall and pond. Ideal for eating evening meals or just reading. Helen was extremely helpful, with a good knowledge of local walks. Her welcome package provided us with breakfast and snacks for most of the week! Very generous. I have already recommended this venue to friends.

Beautifully decorated, comfortable, cosy, well equipped cottage with a little decking round it giving Beautiful views. Kitchen had all items we needed to cook & eat. Great to have complimentary tea & coffee, bread, crumpets, butter, jam, biscuits, OJ, & milk. Garden steps steep but nice to have free range of garden & furniture & plenty of parking space. Pretty pond, but had to keep dogs on lead to avoid accident (they aren't used to ponds). Loads of room for 2 people & 2 small dogs. Good to have throws for sofa for dogs. Comfy beds & extra blankets, fluffy towels. Radiators heated up quickly when chilly at night/ in morning (October). Easy access through side gate to middle of village with pubs, gift shops & cafes (2 min walk) & gorge caves/walks just 2 minutes further. Friendly hosts who introduced themselves & seemed very approachable for any advice on area. Would definitely stay again if anywhere near area.
