Holiday Cottage Reviews for Bishops Gate
















Bishops Gate, 8 Palace Gardens, Wiveliscombe, Somerset, TA4 2LU
Description of the cottage holiday
Bishops Gate provides spacious holiday accomodation for up to 6 guests in part of a historic gatehouse that was once the entrance to the Bishop of Wells' Palace. Access to the property is via the front door under a Roman arch that is listed in the Domesday Book, giving the immediate impression of a property overflowing in history and charm. A large walled garden borders the church next door, providing a sense of spacious tranquillity and a delightfully relaxed vibe.
