Holiday Cottages in Compton Martin, Chew Valley

If you’re searching for holiday cottages in Compton Martin, Valley Lakeview Estate offers a private, luxury self-catering base right at the heart of the Chew Valley — a peaceful Somerset village overlooking Chew Valley Lake and framed by the northern edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a group getaway, or a special celebration, our estate combines the seclusion of the countryside with easy access to Bristol, Bath and Wells.

Chew Valley Lake Holiday Cottages

Compton Martin sits directly on the shores of Chew Valley Lake, one of the South West’s most scenic stretches of water and a haven for walkers, cyclists and fly-fishing enthusiasts. Our lakeside holiday cottages give you direct, private access to the water via our own pier — a rare feature among holiday cottages in this part of Somerset. Mornings here mean mist rising off the lake; evenings mean sitting out on the terrace watching the light change over the water.

Holiday Accommodation Near Wells

Compton Martin is roughly ten miles north of Wells, England’s smallest city, home to the magnificent Wells Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace. It makes an easy half-day trip from the estate, alongside nearby Cheddar Gorge — England’s largest gorge, famous for its caves and dramatic limestone cliffs. Guests regularly combine a relaxed morning at the lake with an afternoon exploring Wells or Cheddar.
