Accommodation at Mendip View at Wookey Hole

Mendip View consists of 10 three-bedroom self catering lodges, all sleeping up to six and all providing their own private hot tub.

Although accommodation grades vary in size and specification, the overall layout is designed around families and groups sharing.

Three-Bedroom Lodges

Each lodge has three bedrooms.

The usual layout combines a main double or king-size bedroom with two twin bedrooms.

This gives families proper bedroom space for up to six rather than relying on sofa beds within the lounge.

Bathroom layouts vary between accommodation grades. Some have a family shower room, while higher grades can add an en suite bathroom or shower room to the main bedroom.

Living Areas

Open plan living combines the lounge, kitchen and dining area.

Patio or French doors lead directly onto the private veranda, allowing the outside space and hot tub to become an extension of the living area during warmer weather.

Television, DVD facilities and WiFi are included.

The most spacious accommodation provides considerably larger lounge and dining space than the standard lodges and is particularly useful for longer stays or groups of six adults.

Kitchens

Each lodge has a fully equipped self catering kitchen.

Current facilities include:

• oven and hob
• microwave
• fridge freezer
• dishwasher
• kettle and toaster
• crockery
• cutlery
• cooking equipment

Selected premium accommodation also has a washing machine.

Private Hot Tubs

Every lodge has its own hot tub.

The tubs sit outside beside the accommodation and are designed for private use by the staying party rather than being part of a communal spa facility.

This makes Mendip View particularly strong for hot tub holidays because guests do not need to select a special accommodation grade simply to have one.

Dog Friendly Lodges

Selected accommodation welcomes up to two dogs.

Current dog friendly options retain the same three-bedroom layout, kitchen facilities and private hot tub as the pet-free range.

Private Verandas

Outdoor decking or veranda space is included with the lodges.

Outdoor furniture is provided with selected accommodation, creating somewhere to sit outside and enjoy the views across Wookey Hole and the Mendip Hills.

Park Facilities at Mendip View at Wookey Hole

Mendip View itself is a small accommodation development rather than a conventional holiday park with pools, playgrounds and entertainment venues.

Its biggest advantage is that it sits within the wider Wookey Hole site, giving guests exceptionally easy access to the attraction and nearby hotel facilities.

Private Hot Tubs

The private hot tubs are the main leisure feature within Mendip View itself.

Every lodge has one, so guests can return from a day exploring the caves, Wells or the Mendip Hills and use their own tub without booking a communal spa session.

Wookey Hole Caves and Attractions

Wookey Hole Caves are approximately five minutes away on foot.

A one-day admission ticket for everyone staying in the lodge is currently included when the attraction is open.

The Wookey Hole experience extends beyond the caves themselves and current attractions include a mixture of:

• cave tours
• Dinosaur Valley
• adventure golf
• 4D cinema
• historic paper mill
• museum displays
• vintage amusements
• seasonal shows and family events

Some attractions operate seasonally, so the exact programme varies according to the dates of the stay.

Wookey Hole Hotel Bar and Restaurant

Wookey Hole Hotel is approximately two minutes from the lodges.

Mendip View guests are welcome to use the hotel bar and restaurant for breakfast, drinks and evening meals.

This is particularly useful because every lodge is self catering but visitors do not need to drive into Wells whenever they want a meal out.

Opening times can vary, particularly outside peak periods.

The Mill Restaurant and Seasonal Food

When Wookey Hole attractions are open, additional food and drink is available around the wider site.

The Mill Restaurant serves meals, sandwiches and cakes during its operating periods.

Other seasonal outlets can include The Witches Kitchen, ice cream and refreshments within the attraction.

Mendip Hills Walking

The southern edge of the Mendip Hills begins immediately around Wookey Hole.

Local walking routes climb away from the village towards limestone hills, wooded valleys and viewpoints across the Somerset Levels.

Ebbor Gorge is particularly close and provides woodland and limestone walking within a National Nature Reserve.

Parking

Every lodge has a designated parking space.

A larger free car park is also available within the wider Wookey Hole site.

WiFi

Complimentary WiFi is included with lodge accommodation.

Accessibility

Mendip View is reached along an inclined gravel access route.

The lodges are raised above ground level and are accessed by external steps. There are currently no ramps or step-free lodge entrances, and the internal layouts are compact.

Guests requiring step-free accommodation should discuss their needs before booking.
