Welcome to Jollyoaks, a whopper of a house for your large group holidays and short breaks in Somerset. This beautiful house was purpose-built for happy holidays and celebrations; sleeping 18 in 6 spacious bedrooms, it has lots to keep you smiling all through your stay – outside there’s a big hot tub, a year round BBQ lodge, a Scandi style sauna, and an outdoor dining area with a bar and TV; inside has a humongous open plan living space with a games area, a well equipped kitchen and plenty of room for lounging and dining.
Set at the heart of a working farm in the village of Hutton, accredited with a Green Tourism Award, Jollyoaks blends an enormous helping of fun with a taste of country life. Amble through the orchard, collect freshly laid eggs for breakfast, buy fresh farm produce for your dinner and home reared pork or seasonal Shropshire lamb for your Sunday lunch. Have an explore of the wider area, pull on your boots and head off into the fields, up over the combe and back down to the village for hearty home cooked food at The Old Inn. Just 2 miles away you can join the South West Coast Path for bracing clifftop walks and fresh coastal air.
This luxury group accommodation lies within the Mendip Hills National Landscape so there’s much to discover; get out and connect with nature, see the crags and the caves and the ravines at Ebbor Gorge and Cheddar Caves and Gorge, puff your way up to the summit of Crook Peak for phenomenal views in all directions. Just a few miles away at Winscombe, adventurous sorts can book up adrenalin fuelled activities like caving, abseiling and climbing with Mendip Activity Centre, or skiing and snowboarding on the artificial slopes. If you like cycling, hire bikes and set off along The Strawberry Line, a mostly traffic free route that follows a former line of the Great Western Railway.
If you’re staying at Jollyoaks for a family holiday or multi-generational celebration, you’ll find excellent attractions to visit within a very short drive. If the weather is good there are days on the beach to be had, with watersports at Uphill Slipway and all the traditional seaside feels on the sands at Weston-super-Mare. Stroll along the Grand Pier, have a splash at the Water Adventure Play Park, or enjoy high jinks at Pirate Adventureland. The under 10’s will love the interactive fun at Little Town Adventures, and if you’re here around Christmas time, Icescape Tropicana is guaranteed to get you in the festive spirit.
Weston certainly has its share of places to eat, with several bars, cafes and restaurants along the marine parade. Ginger Pig is great for tapas, you’ll have amazing sushi at Sakura Finest Japanese Restaurant, and for fine dining Italian style, Il Michelangelo is hard to beat. If you’d rather head out of town, pootle about the lanes and it won’t be long before you find a cosy country pub tucked away in a quiet village.
There is so much to see and do in this part of the South West! There are golf clubs with spectacular views of coast and country, animal parks, and even a Helicopter Museum! Pack in what you can, love every minute of your stay at Jollyoaks!
