  • "Well situated property, not far from the M5 so a journey to the South Coast, Devon/Dorset isn't a problem."

    Quite village with gentle walks from the property, canal paths easily accessible. Pub in the village serves basic but good pub food. The property is spotlessly clean and has all the facilities you need, very comfortable. Apartment is first floor and is accessed by some steps to the rear of the property, lovely views across the fields. Unfortunately the week we stayed the weather wasn't the best but we found plenty to do. Thoroughly recommend the West Somerset Railway, the Bishops Lydeard Country Living Museum and slightly further afield Coldharbour Mill in Devon, (down the M5). Also a 55 minute drive to Sidmouth in Dorset to visit the Donkey Sanctuary. Our hosts, Mr and Mrs Allen (along with Holly the dog) welcomed us on arrival but just let us get on with our holiday, always there if needed. All in all an enjoyable stay and no hesitation in staying again should we holiday in Somerset.

    So many thanks for this. We are really glad you had a lovely holiday. It was a shame your weather was not great but nevertheless you certainly didn’t let it spoil the fun. Property Owner

  • "Spent a lovely week at the Coach House."

    Comfortable and spacious, quiet and peaceful location. Good walks along canal with a Pub stop on the route. Would stay there again if we visited Somerset in the future.

    It was lovely to meet you both. Glad you enjoyed our lovely part of the country! Property Owner

  • "This was my second time at the Coach house and the welcome was warm as usual from Sarah and Peter, and from a very enthusiastic Holly."

    The apartment is beautifully presented, well equipped, and in a quiet location, fairly near the A38, which also gives easy access to the M5, making visiting the area attractions easy. While I was there I visited the West Somerset Railway, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, and a number of National Trust Properties, all recommended and within an easy drive.

    It was lovely to see you again and so glad you enjoyed your break with us. There’s plenty to see within easy reach of us and we are pleased you found the charming West Somerset line going from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead. Do hope to see you again one day. Peter and Sarah. Property Owner

  • "The Coach House was exactly what we hoped for and Sarah couldn't have been more welcoming."

    The village of North Newton is absolutely beautiful, as was the welcome in the local pub, the Harvest Moon. Somerset is a beautiful county to visit, it is passed through, far too often. Hopefully more people will appreciate just what it has to offer. The local towns are treasure troves of gems to find and explore and Cheddar is just stunning. We are certainly look to book again, and hope to go back to the Coach House, as we loved our week there

    It was a pleasure to meet you both! We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay here and look forward to seeing you again. Yes Somerset is fabulous. It has everything - hills, wetlands, moors and beaches. And great pubs as well! Property Owner

  • "Very cosy and comfortable accommodation that is handily located for several local attractions (Minehead, Glastonbury, Taunton, Bridgwater)."

    Tesco Express in the nearby village. There's also a canal side walk to a delightful tearoom that can be done from the property. A decent knife sharpener and a measuring jug or two would be good additions in the kitchen but otherwise we had no misgivings whatsoever.

    Thank you so much for your feedback and I’m pleased you enjoyed your holiday. You were really lucky with the weather! I’ve noted your suggestions but I’m sorry you didn’t find a measuring jug. I will certainly buy a knife sharpener before my next guests arrive on Sunday. It was lovely to meet you both. Property Owner

    Convenient for accessing the M5 for travelling further afield and with a bar/restaurant only 3 minutes stroll away. There is also the owner lovely garden available next to the Coach House.

    Thank you so much. Really glad you had such a good time. It will be lovely to see you again some time. Property Owner

  • "The flat is well laid-out, all the rooms are a good size, the parking is ample, the garden is a pleasant 'extra' and the owners are very friendly and helpful."

    The location could not be better for the Somerset coast, the Quantocks and the Levels (though Bridgwater is rather unlovely). If you like cooking the stove, pots and pans, etc. are adequate (but don't try anything ambitious), which is a pity because Pyne's (nearby) is one of the best independent food shops I've ever seen. This is a small quibble (and won't worry many visitors). We've stayed at several Sykes Cottages over the years, and this is definitely one of the best. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

    It was lovely to meet you both and agree Pynes is a great independent place to shop. We are so pleased you enjoyed your week with us and hope we shall see you again one day. Property Owner

    It was lovely being very close to the Taunton and Bridgewater canal, with lovely peaceful walks along the towpath. Towards Taunton we found a lovely tearooms, with homemade cakes and scones. I have gluten and dairy intolerances and they gave me a gluten free scone and jam and a rhubarb lemonade to drink . The scone was the best gluten free scone I've ever tasted, and the rhubarb drink was very tasty and refreshing. The coach house was very spacious clean and comfortable, with no traffic noise, we loved it!
