Grade II listed guesthouse with a working watermill in Somerset

Accommodation & Grounds

Burcott Mill Guesthouse occupies a Grade II listed building that still houses one of only two working watermills in Somerset. Each room offers a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and an iPod dock, with tea and coffee making facilities and homemade shortbread biscuits provided. Guests have access to a private garden and an enclosed play area specifically designed for children.

Dining

The award-winning breakfast features locally sourced ingredients, including homemade bread made from the Mill's own flour. Options range from full English breakfasts to scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, plus continental and vegetarian choices. Homemade plum compote and spelt bread are among the specialties served each morning.

Location

The guesthouse is situated beneath the Mendip Hills, less than 2 miles from the cathedral city of Wells. Wells Cathedral, Bishop's Palace with its 14 acres of gardens, and Glastonbury Tor are all within easy reach. Cheddar Gorge can be reached with a 30-minute drive, and Bristol Airport is only 20 km away.

Family & Children

An enclosed play area in the garden provides a safe space for children to play. Family suites are available, with some offering two spacious bedrooms and a separate seating area. Guinea pigs and friendly cats are part of the property, adding to the appeal for younger guests.

Activities & Relaxation

Guests can relax in the private garden or the communal lounge, where wine is available. The working watermill can be seen in operation, and the hosts offer tours of the mill during the stay. Two pubs serving evening meals are within walking distance: the Burcott Inn opposite and the Ring O Bells a five-minute walk away.

Highlights

“The mill itself adds a fascinating dimension, a real advantage you can explore alongside the genuinely warm welcome from the hosts who mill their own flour for an exceptional breakfast bread. It's a thoughtful touch that, along with the comfortable rooms and pretty garden, makes for a truly restorative stay so close to Wells.”
