Comfortable lounge, large TV with all streaming channels, dining room, very smart range cooker and a king size bed in the master bedroom with a view of the Bristol Channel. Good walking from the cottage east and west along the coast path and Cleeve Abbey and Dunster Castle close by. We had a great holiday and will almost certainly visit again.

Very overgrown grass not an area you would want to spend time in and neither was the back courtyard, in need of wall repainting and looking cared for. Not very comfortable seating downstairs but bedroom pleasant with large comfortable bed. Bathroom good size the shower was lovely.

Only comments regarding the property are that the gardens were disappointing and not really suitable for dogs and the vehicular access is very limited with no turning space.
