We had a lovely night at the old sun. Chris was a great host very welcoming. We went to a wedding about 10 mins away and Chris very kindly took us and picked us up. The next morning he made us a lovely cooked breakfast, so much food and tea! Lots of snacks and drinks in the room. The room was really nice with the comfiest bed. We also met Peggy the dog who is very sweet :) Would definitely go back again. Thanks Chris for making us feel welcome.

PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY IS NOT AVAILABLE TO STAG AND HEN GROUPS. GARDEN NOT AVAILABLE AFTER 10PM ACCEPT BY PRÈ ARRANGEMENT. All rooms are contained in this large private house which is shared by the owner. Once an old Inn but now converted to a splendid large home with many old features and also tasteful modern additions. Private stairway leads to the lovely double bedroom also a landing with dressing table and workspace and a very modern bathroom with walk in shower. Views of lawns and open countryside. Family room is situated on the ground floor with no stairs. It has a shared bathroom with the owner. Plenty of private free parking available.
My aim is to offer an experience that you will want to repeat.
Situated in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of the Mendip hills. Frome 3 miles. Longleat 7 miles. Wells and Cheddar 10 miles. BATH 12 miles. Bristol 20 miles.
