  What a great find!

  We were a family party of 15 towards the end of March 2018 and what we most enjoyed was the big open space in the kitchen / dining area where there was room for us all to cook and socialise together. We appreciated being met and shown around by Sarah on arrival and the very generous welcome hamper. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you may need for self catering. The additional little kitchen near the games room was particularly handy for storing drinks and desserts. The bedrooms were all very comfortable with crisp white linen and good quality fluffy towels. The second upstairs bedroom is a twin (shown as a double in the picture) and is spacious and very comfortable for two females but the bathroom was not suitable for men due to the sloping ceiling over the loo! (This was not a problem in the master suite). What was great about the house was that all guests had their own bathroom (counting the shower in the sauna, which was used as the bathroom for the couple in the small double room). The younger ones in our party loved the hot tub and games room. Due to the time of year and weather we didn't use the garden much, but it is also well equipped with a BBQ, plenty of seating and a large table. It is private and not overlooked and there are beautiful views of the rolling countryside. The house is very well run and maintained and I cannot recommend it highly enough. One small tip - take a hair dryer!

  Due to a missed family Christmas we decided to try & all get together in one big property for a long weekend in February.

  Old Byers was recommended by one family member who had stayed before so that took away the worry of it not living up to the website impression. Sixteen of us stayed, very comfortably. Every room was clean, bright & comfortable. All white bed linen & towels & neutral decor make it aesthetically pleasing. There isn’t any clutter but it still feels homely. There are plenty of areas to relax & so no one felt on top of each other. The hot tub was a massive bonus (I imagine the pool must be fabulous in the summer) and little extras like two separate garden areas were great as we took 3 dogs with us. The teenage girls discovered a games console and played a favourite dancing game for hours Whilst the boys loved the pool table. The kitchen is massive which means lots of people could help with meal prep & it wasn’t all just left to muggins. Two ovens & two dishwashers made life so much easier. The property is on a main road but once inside you’d never know. Our bedroom was upstairs & we heard no traffic noise. The location is perfect. <15 minutes away from the South Coast Path at Minehead, fabulous walks in Exmoor, beautiful Dunster castle & wonderful villages pubs like the Royal Oak at Luxborough. I would definitely like to return to Old Byers our stay was straightforward, hassle free & exceeded our expectations.

  We had a lovely week at 30 West street and it suited our family of 5 well.

  The property was very clean and dog friendly. Kitchen and bathrooms are lovely and very tastefully decorated. Shower is great. Location was perfect, 2 minute walk down to beach and 5 minute walk to shops and Coop. Communication with the owner was good and issues promptly dealt with. Oven mittens were sent to arrive the next day after we let the owner know that the current ones had holes in and the other ones had gone missing. The washing machine had broken before we arrived which the owner let us know about and it was fixed before we left. The small rear courtyard is a nice secluded place to sit and the few steps up to the small garden behind was useful for our dog. Worth checking the rear gate is closed as one time it was left open when a neighbour came through with his push bike. We would have liked a toaster rather than using the grill which was so quick I kept burning it! If a party of 8 stayed we weren’t sure where everyone would sit in the kitchen and lounge. Top floor rooms were hot in the heat wave and some fans would have been good. Overall, we had a lovely week and would recommend this property.

  Our stay was great, but the house needs some TLC.

  Lots of light bulbs out, mattress seen better days, can opener not working, dining chairs had legs broken, and are actually dangerous, sofa had no support and the wifi is really terrible. Not all doors had keys that we could find. We were also shocked to find the building of at least 5 houses next door, that meant we had a week of builders on roofs looking into the garden and music and the beeping of machines going from 8am! We felt that this really should be disclosed before booking. We did have to ask someone to come out due to the hot tub smelling after the first day, and the next day it was dealt with. The swimming pool really does need a good clean at the bottom but no one does clean it unfortunately. We did ask for more bin bags but they never did get delivered. We saw that the house is up for sale and felt perhaps this was why lots of things weren’t up to a high standard. All this said we had a great time and had plenty of space, the rooms are all a great size. The use of the field next to the house was amazing for us to walk our dog.

  We chose the house based on facilities and lovely photos.

  We were 11 adults and four children under 4. The reality far exceeded our expectations. The house is enormous - the kitchen/dining space perfect for us all to gather in with a dedicated snug area for children's toys (adjacent so you could watch the children whilst cooking). Off the kitchen was a secure garden with wendy house, table tennis and dining table for about 18 people! Again this was great to know the children were safe outside. The lounge could seat at least 20 people. The outdoor pool and hot tub were a great bonus. All the bedrooms were a good size and even had hair dryers. Sarah and Hannah could not have been more helpful and responded immeadiately to any queries. There is so much to do in the area - beach- steam train - Dunster Castle all within a few miles. We have been holidaying together for 20 years and all agreed this was one of the best houses we have ever rented. Thank you Sarah.
