Somerset is home to lots of cafes, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops that can provide you with that much-needed drink after a long day of sightseeing. Our Lakeview self-catering accommodation in Somerset comes with all your kitchen necessities but if you don’t fancy cooking, local pubs and restaurants serve fresh, local produce and provide laidback entertainment of an evening.
Somerset is rich with heritage and history giving you a small taste of Old England. There are also numerous quaint villages and small market towns, many of which hold charming summer fetes. There are many country houses with beautiful gardens that are open to the public and owned by the National Trust or English Heritage. Explore these at your own free will and experience architecture dating back as early as Elizabethan times.
The castles in Taunton and Dunster and the castle ruins in Nunney near Frome take you back hundreds of years and if you enjoy a re-enactment the 17th Century Battle of Sedgemoor is frequently re-lived in full costume!
Unknown to many, Somerset offers a wide variety of delicious produce, including Somerset apples with orchards growing throughout the area. Cider works can be found across the county, where you can take tours of the mills and spend some time sampling a few of these delicious local ciders or juices. In the Mendip Hills cheddar cheese is still made, much of which is sold at farmers markets. Visit a farmers market or a specialist Somerset food shop during your stay and pick up some new flavoursome food products for dinner or to take back home as gifts.
