Welcome to Poplar Farm Cottage, a wonderful cottage that dates back almost 400 years and sits in the heart of the village of Westbury-sub-Mendip, and equidistant to both Cheddar, with its famous gorge and home of the cheese, and to Wells, England’s’ smallest city with its stunning cathedral, many wonderful shops and a great market!
Inside the cottage, on the ground floor you will find a cosy living room with comfy sofas and a wood burner to snuggle up in front of on chillier evenings. The kitchen/diner comes extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay, the dining area is perfect for eating a meal at any time of day or playing games long into the evening! Heading up the stairs (you may need to duck walking up them – people were shorter nearly 400 years ago!), you will find the family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The spacious master bedroom has a double bed, the second bedroom has twin beds and there is also a single bedroom, all with comfy beds and plenty of storage! Outside, you have a great-sized lawned garden that is perfect for the kids to run around and play games, or just to sit in the evening and gaze at the stars as you will be staying in a designated Dark Skies area!
Miles of walks can be found directly from the doorstep and into the Mendips, or for the more sedate, take a stroll down to the local pub for a drink or some food and pop into the village shop. Aside from Cheddar and Wells, you are also not far from the ancient medieval town of Glastonbury with its quirky stores and famous Tor, head on to Street and shop until you drop in the designer factory outlet at Clarks Village. If architecture is your thing, then head to the city of Bath, where its Roman Spa, cobbled streets and gorgeous buildings are sure to delight you. For a taste of the seaside, pop to Weston-super-Mare, grab some fish and chips and enjoy the rides on the pier! Beach 17 miles. Pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Jo and Rob have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They gave us a warm welcome, then Jo brought round some delicious hot scones! Homemade jam and cream were in the fridge. The cottage was incredibly warm, and tastefully decorated throughout. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and sitting room. The walk from Westbury sub Mendip to Rodney Stoke was delightful, and pub food at Westbury Inn and Rodney Stoke Inn.Thank you!!

The place was ideal for a family of five (extra toilet downstairs makes a big difference in the mornings) and made so especially by the hosts with the little extras like decorating for Christmas and they were so nice when we met up. The location is ideal close enough to Cheddar to walk into in a couple of hours (although footpaths can get a bit muddy). The local pub served fantastic food (the priddy pie is to be recommended) and near enough to Wells and other locations that we wanted to visit. Really was ideal place for a visit to the West Country
