The South West, England

A while back now I went away with my girl-friend to the south west of England where all you can see is the country side.

It was meant to be a relaxing time away from all the stress at work and to get some time together. We stayed in a place called Glastonbury which has a few historical places. These places include the Glastonbury Tor and the Glastonbury Abbey.

We stayed in a 4 star self catering log cabin on the outskirts of town right in the country side. There were 7 of these self catering lodges, which like I have said were situated in the heart of Somerset near Glastonbury and Wells. The place was surrounded with 10 acres of open countryside which offers you the ideal surroundings to relax and unwind which is exactly what we wanted to do, with unparalleled views of Glastonbury Tor.

We were luckily enough to catch the wildlife (the good animals) which surrounds the log cabins. We saw a few deer and a variety of birds.

The log cabins were traditional Scandinavian log cabins which were warm, properly furnished and fully equipped with everything required and everything was clean.

At this moment in time we don't have any children but this place offers a large area in which they can play games whilst you can relax and keep them in view.

The Lodges were ideally situated for visiting many main attractions around somerset like Wells, Glastonbury and Cheddar Gorge.

The local pubs around Glastonbury were very good and friendly. The food was best in the Market House situated at the bottom of town but all the other pubs served fine food as long as they did drink.

So after this basic review of Glastonbury and where I stayed, I have come away with a very good impression of the place and the surrounding area. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away and relax.
