Hotels in Cheddar

Cheddar works well as a short break base thanks to its mix of small hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs, most within easy walking distance of the village centre and a short drive or walk from the gorge itself. Options tend towards traditional Somerset inns and family-run guesthouses rather than large chain hotels, so booking ahead in summer is worthwhile as choice is limited compared with bigger towns nearby. Self-catering cottages are also available in and around the village, useful for longer stays or families wanting more space and flexibility with meals. For a wider choice of hotel rooms, Wells, Weston-super-Mare and Bristol are all within a 20 to 30-minute drive and offer considerably more options, making them worth considering as a base if you are also planning to explore further afield across Somerset and the Mendips.
