  • "Immaculate, spacious well appointed property."

    Well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area and bedrooms. The games room, hot tub and garden appealed to all ages so well suited for families. Parking space for 3 cars. Would certainly recommend this property.

    Beautiful home, clean, comfortable and well kitted out. The Games room and Hot Tub were such lovely additions. The house is in a great location for great days out. We managed Bath, wookey hole, Stonehenge and Cheddar Gorge. Would highly recommend!

  • "Great property, comfortable, clean and well equipped."

    The only thing our group commented was that the lounge could do with a few lamps to make it cosier as the overhead lighting is bright. Great comfy sofas. Loved the air hockey and hot tub. Thanks

  • "This is a lovely, spacious property."

    It was the cleanest I have stayed in and very well maintained and equipped. The photos don't really do it justice. There is so much space. The hot tub is a lovely addition. A lovely village with friendly neighbours.
