About this property
Wookey is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nestled between the Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels, just two miles from the cathedral city of Wells. The stunning landscape is home to a diverse range of wildlife with excellent walks and cycle routes. Within easy reach are many beautiful sandy beaches, stretching along the North Somerset coast and numerous visitor attractions. All on one level, The Milking Parlour is an attractive, detached property; thoughtfully converted using local materials. Lots of lovely original features remain, including wooden beams, colourful 200 year old Glastonbury roof tiles and stone drinking troughs; now transformed into interesting plant holders. Inside, the lofty lounge with high raftered ceiling is flooded with light from the full height windows which run the length of the room. The kitchen/diner opens onto the sunny patio at the side of the property, overlooking the owners' orchard; the backdrop to which is the stunning Mendip Hills. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one a wet room complete the living accommodation. Converted from a further barn, the neighbouring games room with table tennis and table football is great fun for all ages.
Wells is named after its springs in the grounds of the Bishop's Palace. Adjacent is the 12th century cathedral. Close by, Vicars Close's market square offers shops, boutiques and restaurants, and a bi-weekly market. The surrounding aonb provides scenic footpaths and landscapes, a centre for caving and rock climbing, Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole Caves, are also great days out. With the Somerset Levels, as well as Glastonbury an easy drive away, this city makes an ideal touring base. With much to see and do, there is something for everyone here.

The log fire is perfect for those cold and dark late afternoons and evenings. Ideal for couples and small families.

The cleanliness was first class which is always a plus. Welcome pack was really good too; gave the right impression as it was very appreciative on arrival. Another great point is the games room; so if you have wet days you can have fun without having to go out. The hosts were perfect friendly and helpful. Hope to return.

A great location for exploring the local area - Wells and Glastonbury just a short drive away. On the one day we had bad weather we made good use of the games room. Our friendly hosts provided us with a fantastic welcoming packet. Highly recommended.
