The details
Ideal for a fabulous group trip with family and friends, the beautiful Gothic exterior of this church, built in 1838, hides a luxurious treat of a getaway. Enter this stunning conversion via the atrium, a breathtaking double height entrance hall with sweeping staircase, and take your Insta snaps immediately before claiming one of the six lovely, roomy bedrooms on the first and second floor.
Make use of one of the three quirky bathrooms, don your finest apparel, and meet your companions in the church. A vaulted living room with gothic windows overlooking the village and open countryside of the Mendip Hills, with views as far as the mystical Glastonbury Tor and the Isle of Avalon. This living area, with its glass wood-burning stove, manages to be both huge and cosy at the same time, and is the perfect spot to gather with a drink and marvel at how well this sort of living suits you. Lounge on the sofa or take yourself off to a comfy armchair in the corner to relax and unwind.
Catch the morning sun in the modern, fully-equipped, 44ft kitchen and cook a feast for (or with) your loved ones. This is a lovely clean, bright, social area for less formal dining and a perfect place to sip your morning coffee.
When you ascend the open-plan double staircase you'll find a spectacular banqueting gallery, with three original stained-glass windows, and a long elegant table, perfect for a grandiose dinner, or fish and chips with fizz.
With plenty of nooks and crannies, you can choose to throw yourself into the party, or take a relaxing minute on your own and enjoy the views. The place is open and airy without feeling cold or impersonal, and the colourful art dotted about adds a modern edge to this beautiful old church.
One of the bedrooms also doubles up into a fantastic cinema room, offering you the chance to enjoy a movie night or box set marathon on the big screen smart TV!
Outside you'll find a pretty decked courtyard complete with a covered and coveted hot tub for a luxurious soak.
East Horrington is a small village with lots of lovely countryside for long walks and if you want to spend all your time at the Church you can arrange for Sainsbury's to deliver. If, however, you're planning a big night out, Bath is only 35 minutes away, where a huge selection of bars, restaurants and clubs await you. And if you'd like to take advantage of one of its famous spas, we recommend Thermae, who have an open-air pool on the roof!

We booked a last minute weekend trip here for 10 adults and three children. There was excellent communication and the booking was simple and the price was fair. The space was lovely, the kids loved it and there was plenty of room for everyone. The noise from the kids (who slept downstairs) was largely unheard upstairs. Easy trip into Wells where we had a great time also. The pub for a Sunday roast that was recommended to us by the owners was fantastic too. Overall a great weekend, largely spent indoors due to the weather.

The Gothic Church was absolutely perfect for our three families to come and stay over a lovely wedding weekend. Communication was fast and responsive, and the place itself was ideal with plenty of space for the kids to roam and the adults to hang out.
