Well maintained and big enough for a weekâs holiday. Beds were very comfortable with both rooms having their own bathroom. I would recommend a place to stay.

Cottage nice and spacious, everything you need, bathroom a bit dated but functional, they even have a dog bowl, dog treat and dog towel waiting for you when you arrive. Nicely located, 10 minutes from the motorway, near to Weston Super Mare, Burnham on Sea and Brean and Bath and Bristol a bit farther afield. Highly recommend a stay here.

The description read (Garden with lawn and furniture, communal play area available for guest use) But found it was a (communal garden) for all 4 cottages with no gate to keep safely dogs in and being nearby a road too dangerous to let them off the lead there. In saying that there was an area to the rear of the cottage that we could walk around and let dogs into when there was no horse occupy it. Just feel that this should be listed differently so people know its not a cottage with enclosed garden. On a lighter note we enjoyed the facilities in the Barn where we could play Pool, Table Tennis and table football and we enjoyed watching the horses in the riding arena from our cottage window.
