Celia's View is a charming cottage in Somerset, praised for its beautiful views and excellent location close to attractions and a dog-friendly pub. Guests appreciate the warm welcome, including lovely smelling candles, and the garden space. The property is generally well-regarded for its cleanliness, comfort, and facilities, though some minor issues were noted.
The property is mostly described as clean, with a few reports of dust, spiderwebs, and abandoned dog toys. The bathroom cabinet cleanliness was specifically mentioned as lacking, but overall the house appears to be well-maintained.
The location is highly praised for its lovely views, proximity to wildlife, a nearby pub, and local attractions. It is considered perfect for exploring nearby places, making it a super holiday spot.
The comfort of the property is generally well-received, with good quality beds and bedding. However, some guests found the kitchen chairs uncomfortable and one of the double beds too hard, affecting the overall comfort rating.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen, though some guests noted a lack of cutlery and other kitchenware. The half-sized dishwasher and small freezer compartment were points of contention. The absence of WiFi and limited TV channels were also noted.
While some guests mentioned welcome gifts such as candles and canned drinks, there is not enough information to assess the consistency or quality of these gestures across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will be provided to future guests.

The open-plan living space is well-equipped for a short break, offering an electric fire and arrangement of seating, along with a TV for movie nights. The designated chef can take over the kitchen, offering a host of integrated appliances, including a washing machine so you don’t have to pack your entire wardrobe. After preparing a delicious meal, settle down at the dining table and toast to a long-awaited break with your nearest and dearest. Step outside to the garden, complete with plenty of seating so you can enjoy a drink in the evening. Whisk away to the first floor, home to two doubles and a single, both neutrally presented and hosting ample storage space. Awaken from a leisurely slumber and freshen up in the bathroom, complete with bath and shower over, so you can best decide how to prepare for the day.

Why not head to Glastonbury, renowned for its music festival and remarkable abbey remains, along with the Somerset Rural Life Museum, a wealth of shops and the imposing Glastonbury Tor with its landmark 15th century tower. Enjoy a day out at the seaside and watch the tide come in, Brean Beach is a dog friendly beach just 25 minutes away. Or try your luck at paddle boarding locally at Langport. Bike hire for the family is also available in Langport. If you like Antique hunting, try Ilminster or Langport. We recommend a lovely day out in Somerton with art shops and homemade scones in the market square opposite the Buttercross. At the back of the house is a large hill, at the top is "Aller & Beer Wood Nature Reserve" with a vast array of wildlife to see with fantastic views over the over the levels of the house. Many stately homes are within a 20 mile radius. However you choose to spend your time, a break at Celia’s View is sure to bring fond memories.
Located halfway between the county seat of Taunton and the city of Yeovil, the historic market town of Langport sits at the confluence of the River Parrett in the heart of the Somerset levels. Because of its convenient location, it serves as a commercial and cultural centre for the surrounding villages and as a jumping-off point for excursions into the surrounding countryside and the Somerset Levels, one of England's most pristine natural areas. Many artists and photographers have found inspiration in the region's ancient beauty and diverse wildlife, and visitors come from all over the world to see it for themselves. The picturesque Somerset Levels can be explored on foot or bike via the many paths that wind through the surrounding countryside. As one of the best places to go birdwatching in the United Kingdom, Somerset is home to a wide variety of animal species. It also features the country's longest standard gauge line, which can be travelled on the heritage railway. The beautiful town of Glastonbury, known for its world-famous music festival, is less than ten miles away, making this an ideal touring base for the region. The town also features a wide range of first-rate services and amenities, such as the stunning abbey, Clarkes Shopping Village at Street, Wells Cathedral, Wookey Hole, and Cheddar Gorge. Burnham-on-Sea, located on the coast, is a great option for a day at the beach thanks to its convenient location, wide variety of services, and beautiful sandy beach. The nearby Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb) of Mendip Hills is ideal for serious hikers and cyclists. The beautiful fishing port of West Bay, the Jurassic Coast with Lyme Regis and the artisan town of Bridport, with its markets and music venues, or the historic cities of Bath and Wells are all within reasonable driving distance to the south.

My only tiny comment would be not being quite sure which bin to use for the recycling..
Susan
I did find that one of the double beds had an extremely hard mattress which meant I had to use the single bed which was much more comfortable. That said, our dog and us enjoyed our stay.
Rosemary
