  • "Lovely cottage complete with everything you would need."

    Very rural, but still a relatively short distance to all the amenities. A quiet, relaxing break.

  • "We would like to thank Mike and Nicola for providing us with a beautiful little cottage for our holiday."

    The welcome pack really was welcome after the journey down from Yorkshire. The cottage is really well set out and you can see that a lot of time and effort has been taken to make sure the guests have a good time whilst there. It is the most peaceful tranquil cottage we have been in with amazing scenery and sunsets, we managed to go to Dorset, Devon and Somerset attractions whilst there and the only negative we had is that we didn't have more time there than the week we had, our problem not there's. The bed was amazing and you could have stayed there all day but then you wouldn't see any of the amazing countryside and towns. You have all the equipment to cook for yourself or go for a drink and a meal at one of the local pubs, the Greyhound is really good and very popular. Again many thanks to you both and not forgetting Lily, we hope to come back to see you again soon but this time it will be for a longer break, take care of yourselves. Rosaline and Steve (Sheffield).

    Thank you both very much for your lovely review and we hope to see you again soon x Property Owner

  • "Field View was everything we expected but more."

    The hosts were friendly, kindly and helpful. There was a very thoughtful welcome pack, including wine and fresh eggs from the farm chickens! We visited lots of lovely places, Dunster, Minehead, Montacute House, Seaton and many others. Almost the best thing though was sitting in the garden and soaking up the peace and tranquility. Our little dog loved it there. We'd recommend The Greyhound Inn for cosy meals and drinks, walkable but quicker to drive! Dog friendly too. We'd love to go back and probably will.

    Thank you v much for your feedback, we're so glad you had a good time and the weather was kind!! Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Field View."

    The pictures do not do this place justice! It is a lot larger than we thought it would be, and was the perfect cosy bolthole for our Christmas stay. Mike and Nicola had decorated the space for Christmas and left us eggs from their chickens (delicious!) along with other supplies. Very thoughtful! We loved popping in to say hello to the horses and meeting the lovely Molly and Lily, who interacted with our dog so nicely. The bed and sofa are SO comfortable, much time was spent lounging and watching tv. Honestly, we had the best time and are looking forward to come back next year! Thank you so much Mike and Nicola!

  • "The cottage was very clean and the bed was very comfortable."

    The garden was the right size for our dog and was very safe and tidy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you might need to cook a meal. The kitchen was lacking in cleaning products. It would be an idea to have a mop and bucket, and a clean sponge for the dishes and some J cloths with some kitchen spray. We really enjoyed our stay and will be rebooking in the future.

    Thank you, cleaning products purchased! Property Owner

  • "The property was lovely and comfortable."

    Bed was so comfortable with quality bedding and plenty of towels provided. Good shower and kitchen well equipped. Welcome pack was excellent and the owners were on hand if we needed anything. Lovely setting and it was nice to experience such peace and quiet. A very relaxing holiday. A couple of more comfortable chairs to sit in the garden would have been welcome. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay , as did our greyhound Lottie, who loved the spacious garden. Thanks to Nicola and Mike who were there if needed and very friendly , but unobtrusive.

  • "What a gem!"

    The cottage is located surrounded by countryside. You have wonderful views, beautiful birdsong all day, incredible sunsets & we were even lucky enough to see deer in the field twice during our stay! It's the most lovely place to relax, unwind & get away from it all. The cottage itself is just perfect! So well equipped, comfortable & clean throughout. That fireplace is stunning. The owners, Nicola and Mike, are just so lovely, so friendly & we enjoyed chatting with them during our stay. And meeting their gorgeous doggies too. It's great they're just next door & on hand if you need anything, but equally they give you complete privacy whilst you're at the cottage. We were so lucky with the endless sunshine whilst we stayed, but the cottage stayed so cool inside which was great for our elderly springer. We had such a relaxing few days & although we explored different places in the area, or was equally just at nice to sit in the garden & absorb the views. We couldn't recommend Field View enough & we will definitely be back to stay again

  • "We had a fantastic stay the accommodation was lovely."

    The owners were extremely helpful as we had a problem with the oven but it was resolved quickly. Literally the only things we'd say would be we would have preferred a washing machine rather than a dishwasher as it wasn't used and a washing machine would have been more useful after muddy dog walks!!.Also the bins being in cupboard was annoying but that's literally it. We loved our stay ❤️

    The welcome pack is a great touch which was bliss as we didn't have time to have a quick shop on our arrival, therefore, we were able to have scrabbled egg on toast our first morning with a lovely cup of tea. We haven't done much exploring although we intend to in future trips, we used the cottage as a base to visit our newly born granddaughter in nearby Horton. Upon reading previous customers feedback, from what I could see all the feedback has been acted on and Mike and Nicola have thought of everything, all in all the cottage is perfect. We will definitely be staying again and will be recommending Field View to family and friends.

    Welcome pack was brilliant and host was friendly. Just a few touches needed to make it easier on a self catering manner. Please add wine glasses, gin glasses, soup and pasta bowls. Another pot to cook in and maybe a selection of up to date walks in the area, as some of the new Herepath trail is not accessible. Another chopping board, hairdryer a good pairing come culinary knife. Nitpicking but these are what we missed. Great spot and super quiet, just what we ordered
