Somerset is one of the West Country counties, next door to Devon and Dorset but not quite as far to drive if you live in the east of England. It has equally lovely countryside, especially areas such as the Quantock hills between Taunton and Bridgwater, the Mendips which run from Frome to Weston Super Mare on the coast, and the Blackdown Hills that straddle the border between Somerset and East Devon.
One cannot help but stand and stare the lovely rural views in these Somerset hilly locations. The hedgerows are thick with sweet scented honeysuckle and wild flowers during the summer. Orchids bloom in wild abandon in secluded hollows.
Somerset also has a coast with seaside town for family holidays. Burnham on Sea offers miles of sandy beach and the shortest pier in Britain. Minehead and Weston super Mare are well established seaside resorts offering everything that holidaymakers want from a coastal holiday. You may be looking for specific features from your Somerset holiday homes, perhaps a cottage with a barbecue, a 4 bedroom Somerset house, or a luxury holiday cottage, one with a kingsize bed or a large holiday rental with a swimming pool?Take a look at some of high quality self catering accommodation available to rent in Somerset and book a cottage or log cabin for your next summer holiday. Dog friendly pine lodges are also available.
