  • "The property suited us perfectly."

    It was comfortable and clean with a delightful quirkiness and all facilities as advertised. Two pianos and a guitar were a bonus! The dip in the access ramp was a bit of a problem; a vw golf is not a particularly low-slung car but even with passengers disembarked and driving at a snail's pace we grounded every time.

  • "What a beautiful place!"

    I loved the double aspect view from the upstairs bedroom. And the incredible high beamed sitting room. We had a great breakfast in the garden on our first day. Then took the steam train to Minehead and walked the first bit of the South West Coast Path which was amazing. We also loved visiting Cleeve Abbey and The Notley Arms! We all had a great time and will definitely come again.

  • "This is a lovely cottage in a wonderful location, close to the coast and Exmoor and within a short walk of a fantastic pub."

    If you like walking, dark skies and music then this is the place for you. We enjoyed having access to the record collection and musical instruments. Thank you for sharing! It was also nice to have a cream tea waiting for us on arrival. Access is shared with the neighbours who live in the adjoining property and this didn’t cause any concern or problems for us. We had a great stay and hope to return.

  • "The coach house is so homely."

    We had a wonderful family holiday there. Our pre-schoolers were enchanted by the place! We loved the art collection - and will remember the meals we had as a family sitting in the peaceful garden. We had the pleasure of meeting a family of hedgehogs resident in the garden! So many options for days out in all directions. And lovely to have Cleeve Abbey, the Torre Cider Farm (great breakfasts as well as good cider!) and Watchet (Star Inn highly recommend) only a mile or two away. We didn’t want to leave and would be very pleased to return.

  • "What a lovely place and setting."

    This is my second visit and will definitely come again. Think big comfortable rooms with beamed ceilings, generous bathroom and a farmhouse-style kitchen on the upper floor. You can sit round a wooden table with cups of tea or throw open the arched door and sit on the step overlooking trees and old walled gardens. In summer we sat out in the sun trap garden and watched the sun go down as a family of hedgehogs emerged. This time we revisited the rolling fields just outside the door - the start of the Quanttocks - and drove the short distance to the sea for a long walk along atmospheric Dunster beach. The weekend was topped off with a home made curry at the cosy White Horse pub a walk away but there’s also a gastro pub, beachfront cafe and cream teas in easy reach. This is a hidden treasure - in an inexplicably overlooked part of Somerset. I’d go before everyone else discovers it.

  • "There is definitely only parking for one vehicle!"

    To park on the road would have been very dangerous to us and other road users as the route is used by heavy farm vehicles. We ended up by paying one of the neighbours £50.00 to park one of our vehicles on their land for the week. You need to make sure that people are aware that there is a downstairs flat that is rented full time! You have to squeeze passed their vehicles (and washing line) to get into your access doors. They have a lovely view of you sitting in the garden which I should think is awkward for all parties! They can be heard ‘chatting’ from upstairs! I definitely felt that the owners have ‘jumped on the holiday home bandwagon’ to make use of the situation COVID has put us in!

    Thank you for your comment. We're sorry the property failed to meet your expectations, for reasons relating to parking, access and neighbours. You might be pleased to know that there is now parking for two vehicles at the property. A small garage has been made available to guests, since you stayed. Regarding access, if you approach the property through the garden gate, there is no need to squeeze past anything! Perhaps we could have made that clearer. Regarding the annex (2, The Coach House), it is occupied by a lovely couple who, in our experience, live a very quiet life. They do not have access to the garden, and we have not received any other comments about them being there. The main and sunniest part of the garden, including the patio and sun-lounging area, is not overlooked by their windows. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope that you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Kind regards, The Owners Property Owner

    It is decorated with original artwork on the walls and many original looking features. The hosts are really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
