The Owners Sue and Chris are fantastic hosts, always around somewhere on the farm. Sam their dog is loving and our teenagers loved giving him fuss.The cottage is fantastic, everything you could ever need seems to be there.Bedrooms are all a great size, beds are comfy, main bathroom has shower and bath which is perfect, ensuite was a life saver when we got in and everyone needs the facilities at the same time!!, the open plan living area is massive and well laid out and the patio is great, lovely table and chairs and gorgeous flowers around. We was made to feel welcome last year when we stayed in Ramscliff cottage and once again we was made to feel welcome and as we stayed on the farm a bit more this year, we had some good chats with Chris and Sue, we was also shown around and explored the farm.We will be back to stay again, we highly recommend both properties.

Great location to visit Cheddar Gorge, Bath, Wells and the Mendip Hills. The cottage was spacious and had all the equipment needed for a comfortable holiday. The owners were friendly and allowed us to meet their calves, goats and Alpacas on their farm.

This wonderful property was perfect for a family vacation. The cottage is very well equipped and really comfortable.The friendly owners are on site and extremely responsive.In the heat of this summer the thick stone walls kept the house cool but the outdoor seating area meant we could enjoy the great outdoors when we wanted to.This is a beautiful property in pristine countryside with unbelievably peaceful surroundings. We hope to return.
