The small, rural village of Edington is situated between Glastonbury and Bridgwater, and is an excellent base for exploring this historic and beautiful part of England. On the edge of the Polden Hills and Somerset Levels, the open landscape is perfect for cycling, bird watching, fishing and walking. The Quantocks, the Mendips and the cities of Bath and Wells are all within easy reach. The Granary is a super holiday cottage in the grounds of the owner's' extensive home. Pristine gardens conceal a solar heated plunge pool (available 1st May until August by prior arrangement with the owner). Inside, the living space is open plan, with lofty ceilings, feature stone walls and glazed doors which look over the garden. From the neat kitchen, steep stairs lead to the bright and airy bedroom on the mezzanine. The Granary is a Grade 2 listed late 18 century modernised building constructed of Blue Lias stone and lime mortar. During renovation some of the walls were plastered internally with traditional lime and horse hair render according to the requirements of Historic Buildings.
Bridgwater is a popular destination with a shopping centre. Close to the Mendip Hills and the Quantocks, the town has historical buildings, a selection of restaurants and pubs and is notable for the Bridgwater Illuminated Carnival in November. Cheddar is a few miles away, as is Glastonbury. The wetland areas surrounding Bridgwater are known for wildfowl and birds. Nearby Shapwick Heath is an example of a wetland nature reserve worth a visit, as is the Steart Marshes on the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve. Bridgwater offers a variety of activities and is conveniently placed for all visitors.

The property now has the benefit of a log burning stove which makes it very cosy in the colder evenings. Excellent location near to many well known nature reserves on the Somerset Levels and only an hour away from Bath for a lovely day out browsing the architecture and independent shops. Can't wait until our next visit!!

Owners Bridget and Simon extremely accommodating and made us feel so welcome to their home and shared facilities.We loved the pool and were very blessed with great weather. The whole place and gardens very quiet and tranquil exactly what we wanted for our stay. We expected the Granary to be old and not modern and loved all the antiquities inside. Certainly the stairs were challenging but loved the massive open plan bedroom and looking up to the velux windows and seeing the stars. If you are mobile and want peace and quiet this really is the place to stay. Once again many thanks and hope to return in the future.

The owners really are very friendly and helpful plus they have a beautiful young black Labrador! Everything as stated 'on the tin' is accurate!
