부동산 — Charton Inn
Charton Inn is a straightforward, no-fuss 3-star coaching inn on the edge of Mendip. Its lobby smells of wood polish and raincoats, with a low-beamed ceiling and a stone fireplace that works year-round. The USP is location: you're ten minutes from Cheddar Gorge and the Strawberry Line cycle path. It suits walkers, off-season explorers, and anyone wanting a proper pub dinner without a designer price tag.
Mendip 연대기
Mendip is not a city but a rural district whose name comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Myne-diop' – 'the deep mine' – reflecting centuries of lead and coal mining. The landscape was shaped by the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and its limestone gorges (Cheddar, Burrington) have been tourist magnets since Victorian times. Market towns like Wells and Glastonbury anchor the economy with their cathedrals and festivals. Today, Mendip is a quiet, outdoorsy patch of Somerset known for caving, cheese, and cider.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Charton Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a rear-facing room on the first floor. The rear side avoids Charlton Road traffic, and the first floor is high enough to dodge pavement noise but still within easy reach of the staircase if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the front (overlooking Charlton Road) and ground-floor rooms near the entrance — road noise and early-morning check-out bustle will disturb sleep.
Best views
Rear rooms overlook the garden or car park — unremarkable but quiet. Front rooms face Charlton Road, a residential street with modest traffic. No scenic views from this address.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are typically quieter at a 3-star inn of this size. The top floor (likely second or third) may have less foot traffic but watch for lower ceiling clearance or no lift access.
🔊 Noise notes
Charlton Road is a local street in Mendip, so noise is moderate — light traffic from 7am, occasional delivery vans. Lift machinery can hum on the floor above its shaft; request a room away from the lift core.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, arrive before 4pm to snag a rear-facing car park spot — these fill fast and the road-side spaces are noisier. 2. Ask for a top-floor rear room if you value total quiet over convenience — just check it's served by the lift (most 3-star inns here have one).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Mendip 주요 관광지
💡 Head to the Chapter House at 11am for the free guided tour—it covers the cathedral’s history without fluff. Leave a donation in the box by the entrance.
💡 Visit after rain—the waterfall really flows then. The path can get muddy, so wear proper boots or wellies. No café on site, so bring a flask of tea.
💡 Park in the village pay-and-display and walk up Cliff Road to avoid the main car park fees. The walk up to the Lookout Tower is steep but worth it.
💡 Start at the Black Rock car park (free) off the A371. The loop trail to the top takes about 1.5 hours. No facilities, so pack food and water. The wind can be fierce—bring a jacket even in summer.
💡 The ticket lasts all day, so you can pop in between other sights. The fossil collection is surprisingly good. Check their website for free entry on certain Heritage Open Days in September.
