Quarry Nest - Cookswood

Summary:

An eco-friendly, three bedroom property that is perfect for up to 6 guests. Enjoy a unique countryside location close to the city of Bath, Frome and Radstock.



The Space:

Nestled in the heart of rural Somerset, Quarry Nest is a contemporary eco-home set within the exclusive, 450-acre Cookswood gated estate. Surrounded by natural woodland and designed with modern, sustainable living in mind, this stylish retreat is perfect for families or small groups looking to relax and reconnect in a peaceful countryside setting.



The Space



Downstairs



As you enter, you are welcomed into a spacious open-plan area. To your left, a cosy living space with comfortable sofas and a TV offers the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The sleek, fully equipped kitchen features high-end appliances and a central island - ideal for both cooking and socialising. In the kitchen area, you’ll also find a large dining table with chairs, perfect for family meals or entertaining guests. The ground floor also includes a utility room with a washing machine and dryer, along with a convenient downstairs WC.



Upstairs



Bedroom One – The spacious master bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed, an en suite shower room, and a private balcony with seating.



Bedroom Two – A comfortable double bedroom with built-in wardrobes offering plenty of storage space.



Bedroom Three – Furnished with two twin beds, ideal for children or friends sharing.



A generous, contemporary family bathroom completes the upstairs layout, featuring a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. Fluffy towels and crispy white linen is included during your stay.



Outside



The private garden offers ample space for a tranquil spot to enjoy a meal or a drink, with outdoor dining furniture and a BBQ area. Whether you're starting the day with a quiet coffee or ending it with dinner under the stars, the setting provides a perfect escape into nature.



There are a number of family games provided, both indoor and outdoor, making it ideal for all ages. The location is perfect for bird and nature watching—rabbits, deer, and Muntjac are regularly seen just outside the house. It's also wonderfully private, offering a peaceful retreat.



Rechargeable outdoor lighting is available for relaxing in the evening and can be stored away to reduce light pollution at night. Outdoor blankets are also provided for added comfort.



Quarry Nest is thoughtfully equipped for families, sleeping up to six guests. A travel cot and highchair are provided. We also accept well-behaved pets, so your furry friends are welcome too.



The home is also fitted with eco-friendly underfloor heating powered by heat-pump technology, and an electric vehicle charging point is available to guests.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the entire home and garden. For security, all guest names and vehicle registration numbers must be submitted in advance. Guests may bring up to four cars, two parked at the house and two parked at the reception.



Other Things to Note:

While the house is completed, the wider site is still under phased construction. You may notice building activity elsewhere on the estate, but this should not affect your stay. The estate is a former quarry, and the terrain can be muddy, so we recommend bringing wellies or suitable walking shoes if you plan to explore the surroundings.



The house also has parking up to 4 cars. 2 cars can be parked at the house and 2 to be parked at reception.



Please note this property is not a party/ hen do/ stag house as it is situated in a quiet, rural environment.
