Can this really be ten minutes from Bristol Airport? High in the Mendips, it is blissfully quiet and rural, with fabulous views.
A narrow lane, frothing with cow parsley in summer, takes you past the village church and square to Ros and Barry's 15th century longhouse -
and the kindest of welcomes.
Inside are rugs and flag stones, books, paintings and fine old furniture.
Guests have a cosy low-beamed snug and bedrooms are charming; you will need to be nimble to negotiate ancient steps and stairs.
Outside is a big, enchanting garden with arches festooned with clematis, honeysuckle and wisteria."
