The Nest

About this property

Glastonbury 4 miles. The Nest is a neatly presented first-floor annex tucked away in the village of Meare, Somerset. Offering a welcoming base for couples seeking a relaxing countryside break with elevated rural views and a toasty electric fire. Park off-road and take in the open field views that are visible from the parking area, giving you an immediate sense of the rural setting. From here, a gravel path leads to the external stairs, which rise to the entrance of this first-floor annex, where the outlook opens up further thanks to its elevated position. Step inside into the open-plan studio, where the countryside views continue to draw the eye.

Begin your stay by settling into the sitting area, where a two-seater sofa and coffee table create a relaxed spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. As evenings draw in, switch on the electric fire and enjoy its gentle warmth while reading, chatting, or planning the next day’s adventures. The kitchenette is arranged for simple, easy meals, whether you are boiling the kettle for a fresh brew, preparing a light bite using the microwave or airfryer, or laying out cups and cutlery for an unhurried breakfast together. The dining area provides a comfortable place to sit and enjoy these moments, keeping everything within easy reach.

The double bed sits neatly within the studio layout, allowing you to drift naturally from the living space into rest. Wake to views across the surrounding fields, then start the day in the separate shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, offering a clean and practical space to refresh before heading out. A village shop can be reached with ease for everyday essentials, while a nearby pub and riverside walks offer tempting options for gentle outings. For a rewarding day out, head into Wells and wander through its historic streets, pause to admire the cathedral rising above the city, browse independent shops tucked along characterful lanes, and linger over lunch in one of the welcoming cafés.

A short drive will bring you to Cheddar Gorge, where you can follow winding routes through dramatic scenery, look up at towering cliffs as you explore on foot, and take time to enjoy the changing views across the landscape. For something a little different, visit Wookey Hole and spend the day discovering its underground world, moving from cavern to cavern, enjoying the sense of exploration, and rounding things off with a relaxed stop nearby before returning to the calm of the countryside. Settle into The Nest and discover an agreeable annex for two in the heart of Somerset.

The town of Glastonbury dates back over 4000 years, and has always been associated with legends, mysticism and folklore, with links to the Holy Grail, King Arthur and Ley Lines. Today, the attractive town, well known for its music festival, is a centre for religious tourism and pilgrimage, offering a wealth of fascinating shops and businesses supporting these ideals. Located on the Somerset Levels, views across the town are dominated by the world famous Glastonbury Tor, with its enigmatic tower, now managed by the National Trust. Within the town, the ruined abbey offers a fascinating experience, brimming with ancient atmosphere, peace and tranquillity. The Somerset Levels provide acres of unspoilt wetlands, a haven for bird life. Alternatively, explore Wells, England’s smallest city, Wookey Hole, or scenic Cheddar Gorge. A vibrant and exciting holiday destination at any time of the year.
