The Story House cottage is a stone-built building with light airy rooms. Direct access to public footpaths to the surrounding countryside of the Mendip Hills, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The cottage is managed by the family who live in the property next to the cottage. They are available to respond to any queries, but the properties are separate and you will have privacy during your stay.
Located in the small rural coaching village of Cross, near to the medieval town of Axbridge and the wonders of Cheddar gorge. There are two local pubs within walking distance of the cottage, in the village of across. The New Inn at Cross serves excellent food.
