Somerset, in the South West of England, is a special county of beauty and contrasting landscapes, steeped in history and legend, just waiting to be explored…From the stunning scenery of Exmoor National Park, the unique West Country fenland of the Somerset Levels with the striking Glastonbury Tor set in its midst (said to be the Avalon of Arthurian legend), to its breath taking coastline, seaside resorts and great market towns, believe it or not, we are only scratching the surface! Of course it wouldn’t be Somerset without mentioning cheddar cheese and cider!

If you enjoy playing golf, why not combine it with a holiday…?  It’s incredible to think that today’s popular game of golf is thought to have originated in the 15th century when players would hit a pebble around a course of sand dunes and rabbit runs in the Kingdom of Fife on the East coast of Scotland! The UK boasts some of the oldest golf courses in the world, with natural settings enhancing their beauty and making them a delight to play on. Browse our latest ‘Collection’ of accommodation Near Golf Courses.
