The details

Tucked away down a quiet lane in the charming village of Wedmore, Apothecary Cottage is the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret. Once the local chemist, this lovingly restored bolthole for two now blends vintage glamour with cosy modern living – the perfect romantic escape in the heart of Somerset.

Step inside and you'll be greeted by a palette of smoky greys and inky hues, where soft lighting and dramatic flourishes set the scene. Antique finds – think Victorian medicine bottles and gilt-edged mirrors – nod to the cottage’s past, while a wood-burning stove crackles in the corner, just begging you to curl up with a glass of wine and someone special.

Though compact, the open-plan living space is cleverly designed for comfort and style. The handcrafted kitchen is well-equipped for slow breakfasts and candlelit dinners, and there’s a sweet little dining nook that’s made for two. Up the elegant spiral staircase lies the dreamy bedroom, tucked beneath vaulted ceilings and rustic beams. Sink into the king-size bed and wake to rooftop views stretching towards the Mendip Hills. There’s even a sleek en suite with a walk-in rain shower to start your day in style.

Outside, a private courtyard garden is a sun-trap for morning coffee or sunset drinks – the perfect spot to plan your Somerset adventures.

You’re just a few minutes’ walk from Wedmore’s postcard-perfect high street, where you’ll find delis, boutiques, galleries, and two fantastic pubs – The George Inn and The Swan. When it’s time to explore further, the coast is just a short drive away, with golden sands at Berrow, Brean, and Weston-super-Mare.

And you’re perfectly placed for inland adventures too – from the dramatic cliffs of Cheddar Gorge (just three miles away) to the gothic beauty of Wells, the spiritual magic of Glastonbury, and the wild, wide landscapes of the Somerset Levels and Mendip Hills.
