Holiday houses to hire in Somerset

The West Country at its finest

Somerset is a rural county of natural beauty: rolling hills, expansive moors, unique levels; a county of history, mythology and magic. Everywhere has a tale to tell and you’re bound to find someone who’s more than happy to tell it. Especially over a glass or two of Somerset Cider. With evidence of settlement going back to Palaeolithic times, Somerset is one of the oldest areas of recognised government in the world and, being the county which had the last Battle in England, it is steeped in history. Somerset is rich in culture too: carnivals, music festivals, book fairs and village fetes abound. It really has something for everyone.
