Somerset's Ice Cream Parlours
Everybody loves ice cream on holiday. The County of Somerset, in South West England, is known for its beautiful countryside and coastal areas. It also has a superb reputation for dairy produce (all those succulent green pastures for dairy cows to thrive upon). So it should come as no surprise that the County possesses several artisanal ice cream parlours.
We’ve put together a list of popular ice cream parlours in Somerset. Eat-in or Takeaway, and if you are on your way home to your Somerset holiday cottage for lunch or dinner, why not buy a deliciously flavoured block or tub for dessert?
Here are the My Favourite Holiday Cottages’ seven most desirable ice cream parlours in Somerset:
1. Scoops Ice Cream Parlour.
Location: Weston-super-Mare
The kids will love this one. A choice of fifteen flavours makes choosing the right flavour easier than in Parlours, with dozens of flavours. Scoops Ice Cream Parlour offers a range of fifteen classic and quirky flavours: sundaes, slush milkshakes, and ice cream cakes.
