On the outskirts of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a charming rural town. The village of Bleadon is the perfect place to stay for a tranquil getaway because it provides all the necessary services, such as a village store, a tavern, and a reputable farm shop with a café. Bleadon Hill, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is also located there. The community has a rich history because it is home to a Grade I listed church that was built in the fourteenth century. There is also evidence of mediaeval agricultural labour. Bleadon is situated along the River Axe, which was formerly a harbour. There are many worthwhile attractions around Bleadon, including Brean with its Animal Farm Adventure Park and Leisure Park and the well-known beach town of Weston-super-Mare. Further out are the picturesque cities of Bristol and Glastonbury, a mediaeval town with stunning architecture and the site of one of the biggest music festivals in the world.

No welcome pack, not even a small jug of milk. No information (leaflets etc) about the local area - places to visit. A good tv but otherwise not even a pack of playing cards. Only 1 small hand towel provided. No baking tray, only a well used roasting tin.

The cottage was warm welcoming and comfortable, with everything we needed. Rossi our dog also had a wonderful time, plenty of walks including beach. Just right for us to relax.

The sink and shower water outlets are rusty. The shower base is now yellowing and the glass shower screen is not clear giving the appearance that it was unclean. The tiling grout inside the shower cubicle is mostly discoloured at the bottom half of the cubicle, also giving the appearance that it was unclean. Because of this I personally could not use the shower, it's not ideal to be without a shower for five days. I object to paying for, and be expected to use, facilities that are sub standard. All other facilities were fine, although the sellotaped TV remote only worked intermittently which was occasionally annoying. The location is lovely and the member of staff I met, James, was very pleasant indeed. Sort the bathroom out and I would be very happy to return.
