About The Den at Backwell Down

Backwell Hill Road runs out towards open Somerset countryside, and it's here that The Den at Backwell Down sits, with the Mendip Hills within easy reach for anyone keen on walking or simply taking in the view. The setting is quiet and rural, a contrast to Nailsea itself just nearby, and the garden and outdoor seating make the most of it.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks provided, with breakfast included and a packed lunch available for days out. There's a kitchen for guests to use, and the grounds stretch to a picnic area, an outdoor swimming pool and a spa and sauna on site. Reception operates around the clock, and parking is free.

Beyond the grounds, there's a golf course, pubs, restaurants and other eateries within reach, along with entertainment and walking routes for exploring further into the Mendips. It suits those wanting a base that's rural but not cut off, with the practical comforts of a proper B&B stay.
