Nice holiday rental with plenty of space as there were only two of us. Access not great due to narrow roads, but this is not uncommon in Somerset.Owner was very friendly and welcoming and provided lots of useful information about where to eat and visit in the area.Very comfortable and relaxing in the house.Good WiFi, which was needed as phone signal in the house was almost non-existant Plenty of interesting places to visit including Bath, Wells, Cheddar and Avalon Marshes.Overall a really good holiday.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Warm and cosy, homely. Big windows let lots of natural light in. Super clean and well resourced. Perfect location. So peaceful but close to amenities. A lot of thought has gone into this home. Highly reccomend.
