Lake View is one of the studios at The Old Strawberry Barn, near Cheddar. It sleeps two, in one room with a double bed and a shower room. Everything's open plan. The rating is 4 Star, so it's comfortable and well-equipped. It's on the first floor.
The studio looks out towards Cheddar Reservoir and Glastonbury Tor. You can see the hills from the window. There’s a shared walkway to get down to the garden.
This one isn't for dogs. The two ground-floor studios are, but Lake View and the other first-floor one aren't. We've got a dog ourselves. The lower garden is shared with us and the other guests.
You're right on the edge of the Mendip Hills. You can be on a walking path in two or three minutes. The Cheddar Gorge is about a fifteen-minute walk away. The town centre, with shops and pubs, is about the same.
The Strawberry Line cycle path is just a couple of minutes away. You can follow it on foot or by bike. It goes past the Thatchers Cider farm.
The reservoir is five minutes away by car. There's a two-mile circular walk around it. If you drive, Glastonbury is about twenty minutes. The coast at Burnham-on-Sea or Weston-super-Mare is about half an hour.
Facilities: there's parking on the gated driveway, a bicycle store, and an electric vehicle charger. WiFi, bedding, and towels are all included. You’ve got a patio with a table in the shared garden. There's a kitchenette with a proper oven and hob.
