Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Shortwood Barn is a contemporary barn conversion in the Mendip Hills, an AONB - wonderfully situated in the unique rural triangle Bath, Bristol, and Wells. Each city is within easy driving distance.
There are great local pubs and walks straight from the door and easy access by car to local cities. People have chosen to stay for the last 7 years for a variety of reasons; Longleat, Wookey Hole, Cheddar, Stourhead, Glastonbury, wine or cider tastings....and so on.

The space
It's the perfect place for groups and families to have fun and relax in the open plan space whilst enjoying the quiet and secluded rural environment.
The location is special. It offers rural seclusion with easy access into lively and historical cities. Litton itself is a small village with a great pub and there are a number of pleasant walks to neighbouring pubs and villages, either across fields or near-deserted country lanes. There are a number of fine dining options locally though the barn comes with a modern, well equipped kitchen and its own herb garden and vegetable patch for the keen chef.

Guest access
Whole house and garden.
Gardens open directly open to Shortwood Common which has a number of footpaths leading to a number of pleasant walks. The common is a great space to let kids run free and at the top of the common is a lovely view of the valley

Other things to note
There are plenty of lovely walks or hikes straight from your door

Neighbourhood highlights

This is rural and tranquil, whilst having great local pubs and a short hop to Bath, Bristol and Wells. There are some high class restautants locally (Pony & Trap, The Pig), but the local pub (the Litton) is very good. There are fabulous walks straight from your door and Litton lake is a very pretty stroll.
Additionally, the wifi here is excellent with a 100Mb connection....so you can be as away or as connected as you like.
