Petercott

About Petercott

Shepton Mallet sits within easy reach of some of Somerset's best-known sights, including Cheddar Gorge and the cathedral city of Wells, which makes it a sensible base for a few days out and about in the county. Petercott, on Stone Lane, offers exactly that kind of straightforward starting point, with eight rooms and free on-site parking for anyone arriving by car.

Each room comes with its own en-suite bathroom and drinks provided, and breakfast is included to set guests up for the day. Those heading out for a full day of sightseeing can arrange a packed lunch, while the garden and outdoor seating area give a spot to relax when back at the property. Reception operates around the clock, and there's a laundry service for longer stays. Pets are welcome, too.

Beyond the B&B itself, the surrounding area has pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach, along with golf and fishing for those wanting to fill a day locally rather than venturing further afield. With Cheddar Gorge and Wells both accessible from Shepton Mallet, Petercott works well as a simple, no-fuss base for exploring this part of Somerset.
