A minibreak in Somerset with Kids
Why did we decide to go on a minibreak in Somerset in Kids? Well, we often go away for New Years Eve and find it’s a lovely way to ‘come down’ gently from the excitement of Christmas and all the festivities.
In December 2019 we decided we’d go to Somerset in England for 4 nights to spend some time exploring all the County has to offer. It turns out, there’s LOADS to do in Somerset and its surrounding Counties!
Where did we stay?
We stayed in the gorgeous hamlet of Lullington. So peaceful and quiet but within such easy reach of Bath, Longleat, Stonehenge and much more.
We stayed in this Airbnb which was just gorgeous. Set in the grounds of the owners (lovely) property but very private all the same. The accommodation has been decorated tastefully and we had everything we needed for our stay there (including games and toys for the children which is always a lovely touch).
We have never had a bad Airbnb experience in the UK (unfortunately we have abroad but that’s a different story!). They always seem to be done so tastefully and are excellent value for money. We paid £433 for 4 nights. Bearing in mind our stay was during the school Christmas holidays and it was a 2 bedroom property (with 2 bathrooms) we felt it was a great price.
What did we do?
Well we were SO pleasantly with Somerset. There is tonnes to do for Children. In fact, far more than we had time for during our brief stay.
During our stay we visited the following places, click on them to be taken to the blog post on our experiences:
Longleat (and the Festival of Lights)
Wookey Hole Caves
We also drove into Bath for a TGI Friday’s lunch!
Anything else?
Somerset is ideally located for a visit to some of the loveliest attractions the South has to offer. It accentuated to us that we don’t always need to go abroad to have a fantastic holiday, the UK is a brilliant place to explore! We would highly recommend a minibreak in Somerset with kids.
