The property is appreciated for its peaceful setting and proximity to nature reserves and Somerset attractions, making it an ideal location for exploration.

The property is described as comfortable, with special mentions of a comfy bed, underfloor heating, and a log burner. However, a few guests noted the absence of a freezer as a minor discomfort.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the high-spec kitchen and walk-in shower. The lack of a freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge was noted by several guests.

While the reviews reflect positively on the hosts' hospitality, there is no specific mention of gifts, and therefore it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in this context.

    Many thanks to Andrew and Helen for being so welcoming. Highly recommended and a lovely location to explore the delights of Somerset in peaceful surroundings.

  • Dane

    We enjoyed visiting the peaceful Avalon marshes area and seeing all the wildlife. Many thanks to Helen and Andrew for a wonderful holiday.

  • Angela

    The kitchen well equipped and modern. Everything was spotlessly clean. Bi-fold doors opened onto a lovely patio with table and chairs and a lawned area beyond. It had a very useful carport right next to the front door so if it was raining you didn't get wet walking to and from your car especially on arrival and departure! We never needed to use the underfloor heating or log burner as the weather was warm but I can imagine it would make it even cosier in the winter. Owners were very helpful and suggested local places to eat for an Anniversary meal.
