Having a wildlife garden with apple trees, wine berries, black berries etc was an added bonus. Our kids loved it and so did we. The only negative and it was a tiny one for us, was that it didnât matter where you put the TV aerial, the signal was non existent. Not a problem though as there was a Whereâs Wally? 1000 piece puzzle that kept us âentertainedâ in the evenings for most of the week. Lovely place, thoroughly recommend it.

There is beautiful countryside all around and easy access to shops with a car and attractions in Somerset and Devon. Although we didnât meet our hosts we had everything we needed. The cottage is a natural & rustic quiet place to relax and enjoy a week away from everyday life.

An eco-conscious haven of tranquility. Me and my dogs enjoyed every minute of our stay here...from the wild garden, to the ornate bathroom, the slate floors to taking morning coffee from the rocking chair on the veranda, and ohhh the aroma of honeysuckle as you walk through to the parking area. This place surpasses expectations.
