Crook Peak rises a mile and a tenth from this door, a bare limestone summit at the western end of the Mendips with the Levels laid out below it and a walk we mark eight on our scale. The Annex at Rackley Barn sleeps four at Compton Bishop with two dogs.

Its enclosed garden has a patio with comfortable furniture, a BBQ and a sail rigged for shade, which is a thoughtful detail in a county that gets genuinely hot in July and matters rather more to a dog than to you. Cheddar Reservoir is two and seven tenths of a mile, the Cheddar Gorge outer woodland loop four and a half with another eight, and Weston-super-Mare six for the sand.

Thirty two guest ratings and five hundred and twelve pounds. Two dogs, an enclosed garden with shade in it, and a hill you can climb from the house without touching the car. For the Mendips this is about as well placed and as cheap as the combination gets.
