Get those homely vibes as soon as you step inside the hall at Dancing Hill; straight ahead is the kitchen with steps down to the dining room, flooded with natural light from full height windows. Check out the striking aluminium dining table, flump onto the sofas, feet up to chat or watch TV. Doors open onto the terrace, the covered veranda and garden. Off the dining room there’s a walk-in pantry and a shower room.
Left of the hall is the sitting room, homely and inviting, with sofas to nestle on, a wood-burning stove, a TV, and in the floor, a glass-covered well. Off the sitting room there’s a utility room that’s also accessed from outside - handy for when you get back from a country walk with muddy boots and wet dogs. Next to the sitting room is the games room with table tennis, and sofas for spectators.
Upstairs are Bedrooms 1-5 and a family bathroom. Bedrooms 1 and 5 adjoin a snug that can accommodate 2 extra beds (extra charge - see Extras) and has staggering views over the living roof terrace (not accessible) to the Somerset Coast. Bedroom 1 has room for 1 of the extra beds, so either of these rooms work well for a family. Bedroom 6 is on the ground floor, to the right of the hall. All the bedrooms at Dancing Hill have zip and link beds (super king or twin), except Bedroom 4 which has a double.
The gardens at Dancing Hill are large and secure, with lawns, a covered veranda, a large terrace with seating and a barbecue, a 4m swim spa and a hot tub; at the bottom of the garden is a paddock. There’s plenty of room for children to play, so you can all enjoy the outside space; slip into the hot tub and admire the views, chat into the night with the lights twinkling on the far horizon.
Local Area
Just a stone’s throw away from the house there are footpaths that take you into the Quantock Hills; go to Fyne Court for pond dipping and a picnic, look out for wild ponies grazing at Cothelstone Hill.
Pootle over to the canal at North Newton for an amble along the Somerset Space Walk then have cake in the tea room at Maunsel Lock; hire kayaks or self-drive motor boats from Somerset Boat Centre, or book seats on a narrowboat trip.
Venture out to visit some of the places you can see from Dancing Hill; discover the unique landscape of the Somerset Levels, puff your way to the top of Burrow Mump or Glastonbury Tor, amble around the tranquil nature reserves.
Go to Wells to visit the glorious cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace, take a family trip Animal Adventure Park, or head over to Wookey Hole to see the famous caves and attractions. For days by the sea, the Somerset Coast isn’t far; Weston-super-Mare is great for bucket-and-spade fun, Kilve is good for rockpooling and fossil hunting.
Head back to Dancing Hill for drinks in the garden or down in the paddock while the sun slips over the horizon; turn moments into memories you can keep forever.
