This is an great cottage. Very clean and well furnished. The high ceiling made it feel very spacious. We enjoyed the location - both the views and being on a farm. The hosts (as others have said) are friendly and helpful. This is a cottage we will try to return to when back in Somerset.

Beautiful peaceful location, but a little off the "beaten track", just what we were seeking. All modern amenities provided within the cottage.

Lovely clean cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. Great rural location with lovely views from the front of the cottage although the outdoor eating area for the cottage is at the rear among farm buildings. The living area is spacious but is open to the upstairs bedroom which did cause us a few issues with light and privacy as we were a party of adults.

Friendly and helpful host and deputy. Cottage in very good order. Comfortable bedrooms and good bathrooms. The location is in a lovely area, the local pub (about a mile's walk away) serves local ales and has a good kitchen. The 4 star overall experience rating is a reflection of our preference, rather than something wrong (slouch sofas in low light make reading difficult). Would definitely recommend the cottage - feels very spacious.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The place was immaculate and had all the amenities you need including kitchen towels, pans, plates, utensils etc. That were all still of good quality to use. The cottage itself although spacious felt very cozy and compact. There is also a good amount of work space in the kitchen so if you enjoy cooking, it’s a great prep place. Toiletries were also available and was of great quality. In addition, Annette kindly showed us where it was appropriate for us to take our dog for runs and walks. We also made use of the leaflets and local tips that they provided. Overall, it was a very lovely, peaceful place to stay in that had everything you needed.
