About the host

Hosted by Mary Robson

Host profile image
I live with my husband Huw in the main house opposite Gorge View Cottage, so are nearby if you have questions about your stay, what to do in the area etc. I trained as a nurse and later after bringing up our family I trained in psychotherapy and counselling and still have a local practice.

Why they chose this property

We moved to the Mendips almost 20 years ago, when Huw (my husband) relocated to Bristol. We knew that Somerset was the place we wanted to be, and just over the Mendips everything gets quieter - a healthy 20 miles from cities of Bristol and Bath (close, but not too close).
Cheddar nestles on the edge of the beautiful Mendips Hills and yet the Somerset Levels begin here stretching southwards. We have the lovely city of Wells nearby, and Glastonbury with its Tor not much further, and yet the coast is only 10 miles away. If we fancy more adventurous outings we are an easy day's trip to the South Coast (the Jurassic Coast in Dorset is a UNESCO heritage site), Exmoor, Dartmoor and Cornwall.
So for us and the family it has it all.

What makes this property unique

The cottage opposite the main house is an old gardener's cottage that had been modified as a garage with store rooms many years ago. But it was close to collapse and we decided to renovate it as a living space for ourselves, and to do this in the most environmentally sound way we could (reflected we feel in the Green Tourism "Gold" award we were awarded).
With our children leaving home at about the same time we then thought to part rent the cottage for holiday letting: we are after all in a beautiful tourist spot and the cottage enjoys the best views of Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips. A quiet location but so close to pubs, cafes, gorge shops and restaurants.
So anyone, or any couple, looking for a modern but characterful eco-cottage in a great location should find Gorge View Cottage has it all.
