Me and my husband stayed here for our honeymoon and it was truly wonderful. Location was peaceful, property well equipped and modern but with a cosy atmosphere.

Great place to stay, fantastic views over Somerset, great pub in the village,... We had a very nice holiday with our family (2 parents, 4 adult children). On top of that, Audrey is the most wonderful host.

Fabulous for peace, quiet and countryside views. Very comfortable beds and a good location for visiting a wide variety of attractions. Lovely outside seating areas if you are lucky with the weather. Prior to our arrival it took many attempts before I was able to contact the owner so you may need to be persistent with this.

Lovely views from property. A little bit isolated. Village shop no longer exists. Property could benefit from more comfortable and spacious seating. A well equipped kitchen with everything you need to self-cater provided. If not having a food delivery make sure you take basic supplies for your arrival.
