Dark Sky Retreat

About this property

Nestled in the heart of Somerset against a breathtaking backdrop of 18 acres of unspoilt countryside, this Scandi-style retreat is the ultimate romantic bolthole – perfect for couples craving a peaceful escape. This idyllic spot on the fringes of Chewton Mendip (1.5 miles) is a playground for outdoor explorers, home to a myriad of winding footpaths carving through some of the most unspoilt countryside Somerset has to offer. Keen walkers might like to conquer the landscape of the Mendip Hills. Explore thousands of years of natural history beneath your feet at the world-famous Wookey Hole Caves, 4 miles away, or explore Wells (5 miles), boasting the oldest residential street in Europe. Famed for its rich heritage and home to gorgeous Roman Baths, an impressive cathedral and a great selection of boutiques and local cafes, Bath can be reached within 13 miles.

Beneath the striking Scandinavian-inspired exterior, you’ll find an oasis of calm at the heart of this rural retreat. Boasting floor-to-ceiling patio doors, the tranquillity of nature meets the epitome of cosy countryside living in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner; the sumptuous industrial-inspired colour scheme perfectly complements the verdant green views whilst the homely touches set the scene for pure relaxation. Catch some sublime sunrises through the beautiful picture windows in the sophisticated double rainfall shower room and begin your day’s adventure feeling invigorated. The king-size bedroom, which shares the same sleek style as the rest of this home-from-home, provides a haven of serenity, boasting picture windows framing wonderful views to wake up to and crisp, white linens that ensure a dreamy rest.

Outside, lose yourself in breathtaking views across the rolling Somerset countryside from the comfort of the open-air jacuzzi bath on the gorgeous private veranda. As the cooler evening air settles, fire up the roaring open-air wood burner to keep your toes toasty as you stargaze way past bedtime. You also have 18 acres of the surrounding private estate to explore; discover winding woodland walks, a peaceful lake, a Pygmy Goat enclosure, a 20-metre heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and fully equipped gym. There is ample private parking available in the on-site car park.
