    "I really can't recommend Stable Cottage highly enough."

    The location is perfect, being close enough to Taunton to enjoy the amenities a town has to offer, but far enough out to feel fully immersed in the tranquility of the countryside. The cottage itself is compact yet spacious, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Fran and Phil have tried to provide everything a guest could need, from the well-equipped kitchen to the many guide books and walking maps. The little self-contained garden was a real bonus and offered a lovely place to sit out with a breakfast cuppa or an evening glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful views across the countryside. Also worth a mention are the little homely touches, such as the vases of freshly cut flowers from Fran and Phil's garden which were placed in the living room and bedroom and, of course, Fran's delicious coffee and walnut cake! All in all it was a perfect stay and we can't wait to come back again!

    Maybe a few essentials in the cottage on arrival-milk, bread etc would have made things even better.

    "This is a lovely cottage in an old stable block."

    There are great views over the Quantocks, with Wills Neck (the highest point in the area) on the doorstep. If you like walking, then this is for you. Hills one way and flat the other. You can walk to Crowcombe Station and watch the steam trains, whilst enjoying a snack (not open every day, so check the timetable). If you want a break from the car, take a train to Watchet or Minehead. The cottage has everything you need and there are good pubs a brisk walk away.

    "Our hosts Phil and Fran are a lovely couple, very friendly and helpful, also Fran baked a scrumptious coffee and walnut cake for us on arrival (which made our stay even more delightful)."

    The stable cottage is a lovely place, very cosy and peaceful. The garden was just the right size for us and the views from there where very picturesque. The surrounding area is also very beautiful. Every few hours you will hear the steam train go through. We highly recommend The Stable Cottage to anyone wishing to get away for a nice relaxing break.

    "Ideal cottage and garden."

    Owner left us lovely coffee and walnut cake. Wild deer appeared in the next field. The only disappointment was that the local pub closed down last year and we had to drive a few miles for other pubs that offered meals. West Somerset steam train from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead went through stunning countryside. The Quantocks and Exmoor is glorious and the weather was perfect. Thankyou

    "The property was cold and unwelcoming when we got there."

    The electric fire in the main room wasn't working properly, they did bring a couple of heaters around when we mentioned it. The handle on the freezer compartment in the fridge was broken so we couldn't open it. I did have to throw a couple of things away. The owners were friendly and the area was very quiet. We wouldn't go back to the property though.

    "Stable Cottage is a separate part of the owners property."

    They are welcoming and helpful if needed but not intrusive. They had provided a scrumptious coffee and walnut cake together with flowers which lasted the week. The cottage was clean and well appointed and has a small garden. Note the freezer is part of the fridge. The countryside is beautiful and has many local walks. We strongly recommend this Cottage and area.

    "WE would suggest that the TV be exchanged for a larger screen model."

    The glass in the door leading to the garden needs to be replaced. Whilst due to the poor weather we did not sit outside it would be useful to have a parasol available.

    Thanks for your comment. The property has recently been renovated, and we are pleased to say that the TV has been upgraded and the French windows leading to the garden have been replaced. A parasol is available on request. Property Owner
