Pear Tree Cottages Information

Description

Set on a working farm, Pear Tree Cottages offer luxury self-catering accommodation. The two cottages combine the traditional with every modern convenience. Converted from cow byres in 2007, they are spacious and beautifully light and airy, with private south facing natural-stone patio areas with table and seats allowing you to soak up the Somerset sunshine. Indoors, both cottages are furnished and equipped to luxury standard, with underfloor heating beneath the natural-stone floors that keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, and a cosy woodburner as well as all the kitchen and entertainment appliances you’d expect in a modern home.There is ample parking at the cottages and you can store your bikes, golf clubs, fishing rods or whatever, in the large secure storeroom adjoining the cottages. There, you’ll also find a portable barbecue and a sun umbrella for each cottage to help you make the most of your patio. Cherry Plum Cottage sleeps two. The bedroom has a 5ft double bed with en-suite shower room. Luxurious bath sheets, combination feather duvets and rich cotton bed linen are provided in both cottages. Cider Apple Cottage has two bedrooms. Bedroom one has a 6ft zip and link double bed which can be unzipped to make two single beds with an adjoining bathroom and a shower over the bath. Bedroom two has a 5ft double bed and en suite shower room. It also has a fold up Jay-be bed for an extra person if required. The bedrooms are at either end of the cottage with the living space between them. This is an ideal layout for friends who travel together. The living rooms of both cottages feature leather sofas, an oak dining table and chairs and woodburner. A basket of wood is included. There is a freeview TV, a DVD and a CD/radio/cassette player. WIFI broadband internet connection is also included. The well-equipped kitchens have modern ovens with ceramic hobs, dish-washers, fridge-freezers, microwave ovens, washing machines and all the utensils you'll need.

David and Penny Denbee, the owners of Pear Tree Farm, extend the warmest of welcomes to beautiful Somerset. Pear Tree Farm has been in David’s family for three generations and it was a dairy farm until 2005 when David switched to beef and sheep production. Staying here during the lambing and calving season gives you opportunity to see the new born animals first hand. The farm is criss-crossed by footpaths and offers great views across the valley floor to The Mendip Hills, Axbridge, Cheddar and Wells and even to Brean Down and the Bristol Channel beyond. The ancient settlement of Wedmore is 1.5 miles away and is known to historians as the place where Alfred the Great and the Viking king, Guthrum, agreed a peace treaty in 878 AD, and it is where Guthrum converted to Christianity. It’s also known to the modern visitor as a charming, bustling place alive with every amenity, whose busy shopping streets belie its size as a small village. You will find bijou designer clothing shops alongside shops selling the best local foodstuffs: a butchers/farm shop, fishmonger, delicatessen and a newsagent/off-licence. There are also three traditional Somerset pubs to eat and drink in.
