Be charmed by the quirky interior of the open-plan living space, beautifully-appointed with eye-catching feature flooring, rustic wooden décor and hand-picked contrasting fittings and furnishings.

Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together at the dining table to indulge in the fruits of your labour, or slide open the floor-to-ceiling doors and make mealtimes an alfresco affair on the patio. The log cabin overlooks a large field housing pheasants, rabbits and hares, as well as plenty of bird life such as owls and woodpeckers, and you may even spot a deer passing by! The stylish family bathroom offers a lovely spot to escape the excitement, where you can pour in the bubbles and indulge in a blissful soak before climbing into your pyjamas and heading off to catch your rest.

The village of Congresbury is set a short distance from the log cabin, home to a wealth of local amenities, including Oldfield Fish & Chips, for those evenings when you fancy putting your feet up with a takeaway, The Congresbury Arms, ideal for an afternoon drink in the beer garden, and a convenience store, stocking all of the essentials to assist with any self-catered stay! The excellent 18-hole Mendip Spring Golf Club is within easy reach to play a game or two, followed by a cold drink and home-cooked food in the courtyard restaurant. From the golf course, you can join the famous Strawberry Line, a popular local path to cycle or walk through traffic-free countryside. If you're travelling with little ones, be sure to visit Puxton Park, with its adventure park, soft play area, miniature railway, high-rope course and boating lake offering something for all weathers, whilst thrill seekers may prefer to embark on an outdoor adventure with a visit to the Mendip Activity Centre. Be sure to pack your walking gear and explore the great outdoors of the Mendip Hills AONB, home to the iconic limestone landscapes of Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole Caves, whilst the pristine sands of Weston-Super-Mare offers a change of scenery for those looking for a coastal retreat. Down the Rabbit Hole makes a wonderful getaway for exploring Somerset, whatever time of year.

All I can suggest to improve it is that the sofa isn't the comfiest and feels like it had better days (though I am very fussy about sofas!), and some larger drinking and beer glasses would be welcome. I'd still be more than happy to stay here again though.

3. Apart from every day was brilliant sunshine (our week was 14th - 21st Sept) the cabin itself was SO well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a home from home break. A lovely well received welcome basket was not the only ânice touchâ things like useful things you may have forgotten to pack, dishwasher tablets, laundry liquid etcâ¦â¦ The large flat screen tv had a fabulous picture, the WI-FI was excellent we had absolutely no need for heating or to even light the fabulous looking log burner. The super king size bed was very comfortable, great showers even a bath. The area was peaceful and both dogs had a super holiday like we did ! We sat on the modern deck chairs on the patio with a glass of wine watching the odd aeroplane fly into Bristol Airport in the distance - the most relaxing holiday Iâve had in a while will definitely be returningâ¦â¦â¦.

Set in lovely well kept grounds and in a beautiful area of Somerset. It is very comfortable and furnished with everything you could possibly need. The ceiling fans were a godsend for the warm weather we had. The welcome pack and note was a really nice touch and very much appreciated. We loved our stay with our daughter and grandsons and would love to visit again sometime.
