The Post House, Chewton Mendip, Wells, Somerset

This beautiful former Village Post Office and Bakery is perched on the Mendip Hills in a fabulous position to explore the stunning surrounding area. The Post House is perfect for family get togethers and special occasion birthdays or for girlie weekends away.

With plenty of character and space, this lovely house retains many original features such as flagstone floors and open fires. There's a spectacular vaulted dining hall able to seat the whole group, making this is a great choice for special occasions. There are 4 bedrooms sleeping 10 and the morning room can be arranged as an additional bedroom for a further 2 guests (in proper twin beds) - please request this on booking. This provides ground floor space ideal for older members of a multi-generational family group or those who may struggle with stairs.

Outside there's a private enclosed courtyard with garden furniture - a haven tucked away, perfect for an evening drink or morning coffee. This is ideal, too, for your 4 legged companions.
