Vacation rentals with lake access in Mendip District

Our stay was brilliant, the surroundings were perfect and the secure walled garden was excellent for the dogs! Would recommend the Talbot Inn in Mells for food and drink too, only 8mins drive. Would love to stay here again, thanks Marie.

A really wonderful place, we loved the Lodge and the incredible garden. Everything was spotless and it had everything you needed. The addition of breakfast and lovely bathroom products really added to it. Would 100% recommend and we will be back! Thanks.

This amazing, quirky cottage is in a spectacular setting. The house is lovely and spacious, really comfortable and full of character. The valley it sits in is teeming with wildlife: we saw deer, pheasants, an owl, butterflies and so much more, all only footsteps from the door. It was such a treat. Sam and Mark were wonderful hosts, very unobtrusive but easily contactable and helpful if needed. It was the perfect place to unwind for a few days with the family. We had intended to go for out and about, but instead, we spent a lot of time enjoying the garden, the pond, playing games in front of the log burner, cooking and eating together in the well-equipped, expansive kitchen and generally having a great time. We would love to return another time. Thank you to Sam and Mark for sharing your Enchanted Mill and the lush valley. Missing it already :-)

Carthorse Barn is just simply stunning ! So spacious and beautifully decorated, we felt right at home . The day we arrived weather was not the greatest so having a wood stove was blissful. The cottage is very spacious and has everything needed for a comfortable stay , kitchen is fully equipped, downstairs toilet a welcomed bonus. Upstairs both bedrooms are immaculate, spacious and have very comfy beds . I loved the window bench in the kids bedroom, such a wonderful nook to relax. The main bedroom has the biggest and comfiest bed I have ever seen , such a beautiful wooden headboard too. I loved the free standing bath. The farm is also lovely and we enjoyed going to see the pigs and walking round the lakes.

We had a very lovely stay. Nicola provided a high chair and travel cot to accommodate for our 10 month old baby. The hot tub was lovely and private and the views were stunning.

We had a fantastic stay at Mandy’s place. The house was lovely with incredible views and so many beautiful places for walks and food nearby. The beds were extremely comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely home for our large family get together. When asked questions Elisha was very quick to respond and even recommended some lovely restaurants. We loved Penarth it’s such a lovely place to stay. We could stroll for about 20 minutes to the pier and various restaurants from the house. Also easy access into the city by train.

This was the best air b and b stay I’ve had! It was so peaceful and quiet. I booked it for my mums birthday and she was blown away by the property. If you are looking to get away and relax this is the place! Everything was such high quality and felt very homely. Thank you ☺️

Lovely tractor house to stay in. Has all the things you’d expect in a studio flat. Not very accessible if you don’t have a car fyi (not a fault of the place at all) but otherwise lovely.

Lovely, peaceful annexe in a charming village—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located between Bath and Bristol. Great value and a welcoming host. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at Debby and Grant’s, loved the caravan and location. Everything we needed and more, thank you guys! We’re looking forward to our next stay!!

Lovely place to stay! The photos don’t do it justice, the place is very nice and cozy!

The apartment was even better in reality than in the photos - lovely decor and comfortable beds/sofas. As we had lovely weather for our weekend stay , we sat outside on the rooftop terrace relaxing at every opportunity, listening to birdsong and lake-watching the wildlife. We hadn’t appreciated the amount of activities on offer at Lower Mill Estate but used the outdoor heated pool, recliners and sauna before we checked in - it really started our weekend in relaxing mood. We went to Ballihoo restaurant during our visit and this was a great family restaurant, very casual with good food - a few minutes walk from the accommodation. We did some Cotswolds sightseeing on the Saturday and it was lovely to know our penthouse and sundeck was waiting when we returned in the afternoon. Jane recommended a local restaurant for the Saturday evening and we weren’t disappointed- the food was absolutely delicious and it made the weekend perfect. Jane & Nico - thank you for everything:-)

Geoff was very kind and responsive, the place was very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.

A perfect short-stay getaway with dreamy views across the water. The lounge and bedroom overlook the sea making it the perfect place to wake with coffee and watch the sunrise. The flat is well equipped. We cooked amazing local produce from the excellent butcher and greengrocer during our stay. The shower was a great way to relax after a long day exploring Penarth and the surrounding area. It's about a 10 - 15 minute walk into the town centre through a beautiful and peaceful park and Cardiff is a short train, bus or taxi ride away! Initially we were concerned that the flat might smell of fish and chips because of the takeaway below, but it doesn't. We can heartily recommend them - especially if you have food allergies and they also cater for vegans. Similarly the ice cream parlour on the pier were able to cater for celiacs and vegans. The customer service team were highly responsive. We would love to stay again if we attend events in the local area. BeachCliff is amazing

Me and my friend had such an amazing stay! We came for a local event! Such a beautiful place, very clean and felt right at home! Lovely people! Very helpful and responsive, will definitely start again! Highly recommend😊

We had a lovely stay at Aston Cottage over the May bank holiday weekend. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children. The older adults did plenty of walking around the Estate, and the children had a great time in the play areas, soft play and the swimming pool! Two of the adults brought their own bikes and made good use of these too. Alex and Emma were excellent hosts, and were very responsive to any queries we had, both before we arrived and after. There was a small hiccup with the hot water, but this was soon sorted, once I raised. The early check in was very welcome, and so by the time our supermarket shop arrived, we were all set to start the weekend. The house and bathrooms were well equipped with condiments and bathroom 'stuff'. The Pizza shack was a great find! The only negative comments were that it was difficult to warm up the cottage, and the cleaners could pay more attention to detail, ie oven needs cleaning and there were many cobwebs! Thank you both!

What a beautiful location, cosy house, comfy beds and great views. The area around the cottage is lovely with a lot of wildlife. Janey is very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely stay!

Our stay at Jacqueline’s cottage was superb. It is quite spacious, airy and bright. The house is nicely appointed and extremely well equipped. Jacqueline was very welcoming and a very responsive host. We would definitely stay again. We had trouble finding the place using the Airbnb map. It took us to a totally different location. Entering the address in your own satnav/gps works though.

The photos don’t do the lovely place justice. I was worried it wasn’t going be big enough for us, due to the fact I was using it as place to have us together to get ready for the morning of my wedding. The cottage was spacious, beautiful, cosy and was perfect for us all! There was ample of parking which was perfect. I would highly recommend and would stay again if another occasion. Both Angela and her daughter were great at responding to anything we required. They also accepting of any mess we left due to leaving late - bride always arrives fashionably late!

Fairhazel was a lovely cottage. Spotlessly clean with many thoughtful touches and lots of goodies. Lower Mill Estate is a lovely place to stay with lots to do - paddle boarding, swimming, walking, tennis and cycling. We would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you Jason

Helen and Paul’s place is the most beautiful and thoughtfully curated Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. This home truly goes above and beyond, every room is filled with beautiful, thoughtful touches that made our stay feel so special. From homemade sourdough bread waiting for us, to individual toiletries and everything you could possibly need already provided, it was clear how much care and love has gone into creating this space. The garden was absolutely stunning, with cozy, comfortable furniture perfect for relaxing. And the hot tub under the stars! Just magical. The entire stay felt like a peaceful retreat, and we left feeling completely recharged. Helen and Paul were the perfect hosts — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely property, very clean and had everything we needed. The garden at the rear of the property was perfect for the dog. Good location with easy access to Bath and Cheddar, which we would highly recommend. We loved the Salt and Malt for takeaway fish and chips!

Brilliant host, sent over lots of useful information for things to do and was very quick to respond to any questions and provided very good information of things that were going on.
