Four of us for a number of years have had a bird watching trip every May, this is by far the best property we have stayed in so far. I would highly recommend anybody wanting to visit this area to look no further.

The bedrooms were great - all ensuite though would recommend against the one with the bath unless you're tall - it's a bit deep for shorter people! Lots of places within easy reach like Wells but also only just over an hour to get to the south coast makes it a great base to wander around.
Alison
Spotless, well equipped and lovely design. We really appreciated the detail the owners have put into furnishing the property and making it so comfortable. It was lovely and warm which was important as we arrived in torrential rain. There are lots of local footpaths for walking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
