Stephen
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.

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.

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.
