Learning a Few Things About Somerset

Holiday homes in Somerset are located in the heart of the West Country proper - and that means sunny days, plenty of places to visit and plenty of amazing food and drink. So what's top of the list to see and do when you own your own holiday accommodation in the area?
Let's start with the holiday parks themselves. Owning a holiday home on one of the parks in this part of the world gives you access to excellent services and plenty of extracurricular activities - so much so, in fact, that you could spend your whole holiday not even leaving the park your holiday homes are situated on, and still have an amazing time! There are sports centres, discos, owner's only lounges and kid's play areas. All the play areas are supervised by qualified staff and the homes themselves are kept immaculate when you aren't there.
If you buy a holiday home in Somerset you'll also get the chance to rent it out to other families. You can make enough money subletting your holiday home that you don't usually have to worry about the annual park fees you would otherwise be paying. Talk to the management about arranging a sublet and they'll offer you the chance to name a guaranteed figure, ensuring that your holiday homes pay for themselves.
The county is right next to the Exmoor National Park - one of the biggest and most famous in Britain. Enjoy miles of unbelievably beautiful open spaces, with heather copses and rocky plains giving way to moors and heath land. The kids will be captivated by the Exmoor ponies, which roam wild on the edges of Somerset, crossing Exmoor in pretty little herds.
Holiday homes and parks in the area are perfectly located for a great British day trip. Get yourself and the family down to spooky Wookey Hole, a natural set of caves that are reputed to be the home of Britain's last remaining Wookey witch! Or how about a trip to nearby Cheddar Gorge, a breathtaking natural cleft near the legendary cheese making town of Cheddar?
Slightly further afield, but still only a short trip in the car, Bath and Bristol offer cosmopolitan charm and a plethora of bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants. Take the kids to see a play and op the afternoon off with a meal.
Holiday homes give you the ability to explore Somerset and its environs whenever you want. If you box clever with holiday dates (all you have to do is give the management a calendar of dates when your home is available for subletting and when it isn't) you'll be able to enjoy all the best weather at all the quietest times, while the families that don't own their own bolt holes have to come down when the region is jammed with tourists.
Off season holidaying can be an absolute pleasure. Enjoy a long warm Somerset autumn in your holiday homes while the majority of people have gone back to work...
