With large patio doors and an expansive view, it gave the place a really spacious feel. Everything was well looked after and we felt very comfortable, a real home away from home. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and really seemed to care about our time there. It's a great base for exploring the Mendip area, just down the road from Cheddar Gorge, and not too far from Glastonbury, Wells and the coast. We'd have no hesitation in returning. Thank you Heather and Darren!
