"Fantastic time swimming, football, pool and bouncing."
Oaklands, Woking
"A great house in a beautiful setting - all the toys came in handy when it rained."
Pullens, Kent
"Just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much we all enjoyed our weekend at Fuzzy Orchard. It is such a beautiful house. The facilities were all used to the full. The poor weather was never an issue to us as we spent so much time swimming, pool table etc. Can't wait to make another trip down, and will certainly recommend you to our friends. Hope the pigs are doing well? They became quite a part of our day!!! Once again thank you.

The Local Area
Fuzzy Orchard is located within the 80 acres of ground belonging to Ashley and Jessica Vellacott. This is situated in the tiny hamlet of Wellisford, deep in the heart of the Somerset countryside which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. If it's a relaxing peaceful break you're after, the immediate area is great for ambient walks and also offers golf, fishing and horse riding. Surrounded by rolling hills with fantastic views, this is also an excellent base for exploring the wider area. The Exmoor National Park with its beautiful and varied scenery and the magnificent Dunster Castle are only a few miles away. The charming little towns of Porlock and Lynton & Lynmouth along the west Somerset coast are easily reached, as are the inland county towns of Exeter and Taunton. The seaside resorts of Woolacombe and Exmouth make for good days out, whilst Crealy Adventure Park, the West Somerset Railway and Paignton or Bristol Zoo make for excellent family fun. The Brendon, Blackdown and Quantock Hills are also accessible, offering some diverse countryside and pretty villages.

About Somerset
The county of Somerset is situated in South West England and is a county associated with the Arthurian legend and in particular the legend of the Holy Grail. It is also a largely rural county and many traditional crafts can still be found in evidence such as basketry, cheese making and the production of strong apple cider! Somerset's county town is Taunton and the county has two cities; the Georgian splendour and Roman baths at Bath and England's smallest cathedral city in Wells. Other major towns include Bridgewater, Yeovil, Frome and the seaside resorts of Minehead & Weston-super-Mare.
Somerset is a county of contrast, with the flat expanses of the Somerset Levels interspersed with ranges of hills such as the Mendips and the Quantocks, valleys and gorges such as the Chew Valley and Cheddar Gorge respectively, and vast moorlands such as Exmoor. At its northern edge the Bristol Channel coast can be found while the River Severn passes its western side.
Places to visit include Glastonbury with its spectacular abbey ruins and the town's mystical associations, the caves of Wookey Hole and Cheddar and the stately splendour of the Tyntesfield estate or Barrington Court. Take a leisurely ride on the West Somerset Railway or a trip to the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton to view its vast range of aircraft on show.
