About this cottage rental
High on the Mendip Hills, sits a stone cottage on a working farm, with breathtaking views over the Somerset Levels. The cottage was built around 1850 and was formerly occupied by the local shepherd grazing his sheep on this area of the Mendip Hills. Today the land is grazed by the traditional breeds of Longhorn Cattle and Wiltshire Horn Sheep, well suited to managing the natural grassland on the farm. Cheddar Gorge, Site of Special Scientific Interest, lies to the north of the farm and Mascalls’ Wood, an ancient woodland, lies to the west. Cheddar village and local shops are a distance of about 1 mile from the cottage. Ideal for walkers and close to the Mendip Way.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
Cosy, compact property overlooking Cheddar and the Somerset Levels. We found the property to be ideal for our short stay with excellent walking direct from the cottage. Paul and Judy were very helpful and made us welcome, helping with any info required. The farm dogs (Meg & Tess) were friendly and interacted well with our dog (Ralph). My advice would be to ensure you thoroughly read the directions to find the property, and your vehicle needs a degree of power to navigate the route to the cottage. However once reached the views are stunning from this small, quirky but comfortable property
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2024
The owners of the farm are very friendly but I feel that the cottage needs a little TLC to bring it up to standard.
I am a little slow on my feet and I feel there ought to be some mention of the steep steps to the front door can be quite slippy although there is a well positioned handle to help.
Through no fault of the owners we had very heavy rain throughout most of our stay and the ground in front of the cottage and path at the rear were very slippery.
The view is fantastic but it is such a shame that there is a broken down old car to the left of the cottage slightly blocking the view and having some effect on parking which is very narrow and slippery to drive into and get out of the car.
Internally it was a little disappointing with paintwork dirty and holed (bathroom door).Due to the heavy rain the front wall had significant damp halfway up in the kitchen.The lounge/bedroom window is single glazed and draughty.The 'cooker' was two electric rings and a microwave and the dining area a small square table with two folding chairs.
The bathroom was basic, the shower excellent but again at the window a net curtain pinned up with rusty drawing pins.
The log burner was very welcome but small, the front door of the log burner difficult to close which was a little worrying as the beds are in the same room.The beds are the top and bottom of a bunk bed but quite comfortable.Kitchen utensils were usable.The whole cottage became very cold in night without the burner.
