Lovely property in the heart of Somerset

Brought to you by 'Stay Wells and Somerset',Bowlish Grange is a beautiful house of Jacobean origins, our guest cottage is available on a self catering basis. We are close to art and culture, wonderful countryside, pubs and restaurants. Visitors will love the historical setting and the location. We are close to Glastonbury, Wells and the Bath and West Showground. The cottage is perfect for couples, families and business groups.
We offer four double bedrooms. There are two private bathrooms each with shower and bath facilities. There is a large reception room with lovely parquet flooring, corner sofa and widescreen 4K UHD smart television with NetFlix and other on-demand players. There is a beautiful and large kitchen with granite tops and inbuilt appliances (built in 2020) which is conveniently positioned between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. The private courtyard also offers a large BBQ and a dining area for up to 10 people. Additionally there is also a new spacious decking area which is perfect for evening drinks in the sun. Ultra fast 'fibre to the premises' broadband is provided.
Parking
If anyone has a need to park in front of the house then that is absolutely fine (just let us know) and anyone can also pull in for loading and unloading. Otherwise it would be appreciated if you can park just outside the gate on the lane so that the front of the house does not get congested with cars which results in a prettier and more spacious environment for everyone.
The cottage is an annex of the main house with it's own front door and kitchen. It is entirely self-contained.
There will usually be someone around to help you throughout your stay and give you tips on the highlights of the local area including the beautiful Mendip Hills and the historic cities and towns of Bath, Wells and Glastonbury.
Bowlish is a beautiful hamlet a short walk from the historic town of Shepton Mallet. From our Grade 2 listed Jacobean home you can go for long walks through the Mendip countryside.
Although we'd recommend guests to bring a car there are also direct buses to Bath, Wells and the surrounding area from a bus stop just down our lane.

Comfortable cottage with ace interiors I’m a Beautiful garden setting
Extended family with small children celebrating a big birthday - super easy to check in - great hosts - cottage interiors very thoughtfully designed with nice touches - it’s part of an old building so there are some steep stairs and an old damp wall, but we thought it was really characterful - the use of the garden really made it for us as the kids loved running around and the adults loved having a sunny spot to relax in - comfy beds and good value overall We would love to stay again if we were in the neighbourhood.

Great house, great hosts
We were a large family group of nine adults staying the weekend for a wedding nearby. The cottage accommodated us easily and comfortably. It’s well equipped and very nicely decorated and furnished - one of those places you wish was your own house! It was very clean and we had everything we needed when we arrived. George and Hannah were excellent hosts - quick and easy to communicate with, and helpful and flexible when we were there. All in all highly recommended for a peaceful stay in a lovely part of the country.

Lovely place
Lovely property. Although garden shared with owners property feels nice and private. Kitchen beautiful with all utensils and cooking equipment needed. Bathrooms okay. Water pressure low but nice and warm. Basic but clean and tidy. Bedrooms cosy and welcoming. A couple of the mattress quite dipped in the middle but comfortable. Living space warm and comfortable. 8 small seats in living room. Dining table only has 6 seats but able to bring one in from garden. We were a party of 6 adults and one child. House was good size. Parking in road outside. 3 cars between us, enough space but narrow road. Hosts lovely and welcoming. Responded quickly to any messages. Overall a lovely weekend, thank you

Lovely Character Property
We had a wonderful stay, our hosts couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. The property was homely, clean and beautifully modernised especially in the kitchen area. Our party was 4 adults and 1 toddler and the house fitted ups perfectly. The use of the garden and outside seating area was a great plus. Our little boy especially loved the garden and being able to close the gates it was a lovely safe place to play too. The location of the property was brilliant, lovely and close to amenities (we drove but you could walk if you wanted too but not for a big shop I don't think) and well situated to get to all the different attractions in the area. If we were coming back to the area we would definitely look at this property again Thanks so much for our lively stay Hollie and family

History and Family Fun!
An historic building with all mod cons! We loved the quirky accommodation and really enjoyed staying here. Shepton Mallet makes an excellent base for visiting Wells and Bath as well as being a very interesting place itself. With a septuagenarian, as well as two teenagers in our group, we found lots of things of interest for each and every one of us George and Hannah are lovely hosts and most helpful. Thank you!

Go on, treat yourself
We only booked three weeks before visiting and felt very lucky to have secured a reservation to such a wonderful cottage. If usual times if would have been booked up for sure. It is an incredibly good place to spend a relaxing weekend with your family or invite your friends along and you will all have enough space/ privacy with the way it is laid out. Each family can have a wing. We found the cottage charmingly decorated and very comfortable. It is like a home away from home. Our kids enjoyed the trampoline and running around the massive garden. The patio is a real sun trap. We spent the one afternoon as the Wells Cathedral and site seeing. There are plenty of other entertaining things to do Longleat’s safari’s etc. The hosts Hannah and George are very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property, helpful hosts.
George and Hannah we're incredibly helpful and understanding, given the complexities of the pandemic. From the start they made us feel welcome with excellent communication and accomodating approach. Everything was explained and it was a straightforward and easy experience. The house is an annexe if the main property in which they live and is a nicely done conversation. The light filled kitchen with wonderful stone wall was a particular highlight. Everything was super clean and hygienic too.

A Perfect Escape
Thank you so much Hannah and George for renting us your beautiful cottage! The house was spotlessly clean. The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous and the beds were really comfy. 3 couples shared the cottage for the weekend and we had so much space! We enjoyed a walk into town past the alpaca's, several trips to the pub and not to mention a visit to the local homeware store Luxe and Twine which we all loved and spent a fortune in! Hannah and George were so friendly and accommodating, I would highly recommend this property to friends and family and hope we get to visit again soon.

Summer staycation
Lovely property with everything we could want! The owners were very welcoming and friendly and there were additional thoughtful touches such as milk in the fridge for our arrival and a box of chocolates which the kids were delighted with! The property is in a lovely location - very quiet and a local village pub nearby. We were central to many of the places we wanted to visit. I would definitely recommend staying here. We were a party of 9 with 4 adults, 3 teenagers and 2 younger children and we all had a great time. Would definitely return!!
