Set high above the Somerset Levels, with wide skies and open countryside stretching out below, Hide on the Hill is a secluded two-bedroom cottage designed for switching off properly. Elevated, peaceful and deliberately removed from everyday noise, it offers the rare luxury of space and silence without feeling remote or impractical.

The cottage is entirely self-contained, making it ideal for couples, friends or small families who want privacy without compromise. Inside, the layout feels calm and considered, with light-filled living spaces that encourage slowing down rather than filling time. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, keeping the changing light and long views part of the experience throughout the day. Bedrooms are comfortable and unfussy, designed for proper rest, while shared spaces lend themselves to long breakfasts, quiet evenings and unhurried conversation.

Its position above the Levels brings more than just views. Westhay National Nature Reserve sits close by, internationally recognised for its wetland restoration and remarkable wildlife recovery. Birdwatchers are drawn here for the chance to see species once close to extinction, and the surrounding moors provide a constantly shifting landscape shaped by water and light. It’s an area that rewards those who pay attention.

For the more active, the setting works equally well. The flat expanses of the Levels meet the rising slopes of the Mendips nearby, creating excellent cycling terrain, while footpaths begin close to the door. Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar sit within easy reach, offering culture, history and market-town energy without disturbing the cottage’s sense of retreat.

Days here tend to unfold gently. Mornings start slowly, shaped by weather rather than schedules. Afternoons might pass walking, cycling or simply watching the landscape shift. Evenings settle into stillness, with little to distract from the sense of being properly away.

Hide on the Hill suits guests who value calm, landscape and outdoor space. A quietly confident countryside stay, it offers restorative views, meaningful proximity to nature and the freedom to shape each day as you choose.
