FERN MANOR - Somerset

Escape to Somerset for an unforgettable stay at Fern Manor, where country house tradition meets modern comforts to perfection. With far reaching views across the countryside, this very handsome house stands high on a hillside in the peaceful village of Winscombe on the edge of the Mendip Hills. 10 individually styled bedrooms sleep 20, all yours are a spa hall with a heated pool, hot tub and sauna, a games room, play area, tennis court and 4 hole putting green.

If you don’t feel the need to go anywhere else when you stay here, we get that, because there’s so much at this gorgeous large group holiday house to keep all ages happy. It’s a very special place to stay for holidays and joyful celebrations with friends and family, for private spa weekends, or for corporate hospitality that's guaranteed to impress. The huge grounds have plenty of room to relax and dine outdoors, heaps of space to play, a croquet lawn and a nature trail.

Should you venture out you’ll find attractions, activities, places to eat, good walking territory and sandy beaches within a short drive. Lace up your boots for a hike in the rugged wilds of the Mendip Hills, puff your way to the top of Crook Peak for phenomenal views across the landscape; spend days by the sea at Weston-Super-Mare, have happy family days out at Cheddar Caves, Wookey Hole and Puxton Park. Pootle over to Glastonbury to take in all that’s woo-woo, climb the famous Tor and visit the ancient Abbey; go to Wells on market day when the town square is bustling, see the gloriously Gothic cathedral, the cutely cobbled Vicar’s Close, and the tranquil gardens of the Bishop’s Palace. Head to Bath or Bristol for a day spent seeing the sights; on the way back rest a while at one of the welcoming country pubs in these parts.

And getting here is so easy, with the M5 is less than 4 miles away and a train station just a little further at Worle on the Bristol to Exeter line. Start packing your bags, start planning, fill your Insta feed with fabulous photos, your hearts with wonderful memories.
