General overview
We live in rural Somerset. on the foot of the Mendip hills (AONB). We have a cosy 4/5 bedroomed house, with a large open plan kitchen / lounge, diner, separate living room, playroom and decent sized garden. We are right in the centre of the village, with most things a stones throw away.
The village of Winscombe offers everything you might need in a traditional English countryside village, including two gastro pubs within walking distance, cafes, chemist, grocery stores, play park, cycling route and lots of fabulous walking routes. We are right on the Strawberry Line - a traffic free line that runs from the Mendips to the sea.
We are located around 30 mins south of vibrant Bristol - a truly creative and energetic city, with plenty going on, year round. We are a comfortable distance from the historic city of Bath, Cheltenham / Gloucester, Stonehenge, and Glastonbury - home of the world famous festival. As well as being the gateway to Devon and Cornwall, and Wales (Cardiff only a 45 min drive).
You can get to Cheddar in 8 mins, Axbridge in 5, and if you fancy a coastal walk - Weston Super Mare, Clevedon and Brean are a short drive away.

It was an absolute pleasure exchanging homes with The Bos Family. They have a beautiful home in gorgeous Somerset. The home was perfectly equipped for our family of 5. It is beautifully remodeled with a lovely kitchen, bathrooms, and rooms. The location is perfect and walking distance to shops, restaurants, nature walks, and the market! We met several people in the town who were so friendly and lovely. Elizabeth was amazing at communicating and was so kind to organize a fabulous list of local activities for us to explore! We travelled to Bath, Wells, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Lands End, Swanage, St. Ives and Wales - all a close distance from their lovely home. We had a wonderful holiday thank you to the Bos family and would definitely recommend staying in their beautiful home. -
We had a wonderful stay at Elizabeth’s home. We enjoyed visiting the local area and traveling a bit throughout England. We loved walking to the grocery store and around town. Elizabeth was a wonderful host and communication was easy before and during our stay. She is super kind and thoughtful and her home is wonderfully situated and a great place for families. Thank you so much for welcoming us and hopefully we’ll meet up in person one day!
