On the edge of the village of Cheddar, Wassells is conveniently located for walking into the Gorge and the caves, as well as visiting the Cheddar Cheese Factory.
Completely non-smoking throughout, the house has been recently remodelled and modernised without compromising any of its attractive original features. The building has now been extended to twice its original size and offers comfortable, well-equipped accommodation. A full English breakfast is included in the room rate.
Wassells was originally built in the 1930s as a working farmhouse. The working farm was located on the land near the house. Today, the house has a splendid garden with a patio and hundreds of different plants, specially chosen to ensure that the garden has flowers all year round. Weather permitting; guests can enjoy meals outside on the patio, in the lovely surroundings of the garden. The garden also features a koi carp pond containing more than 30 fish of varying sizes and ages. There is also a separate nature pond, which is home to all sorts of pond life, including goldfish, frogs and dragonflies. The garden is also the home of the hens and the house’s dog. The garden backs onto the old railway line, where locally grown strawberries were once transported to Bristol Market on a dedicated train known as the Strawberry Special.
The name Wassells was originally bestowed on the house by a previous owner and it originates from the Somerset term; to go a wasselling. This is an old tradition where cider farmers used to fire their guns through the boughs of the apple trees to frighten off the evil spirits in order produce a successful harvest.
