The property was the perfect location for our holiday and with easy distance of Cheddar Gorge, Wells, Wookey Hole and Glastonbury. The owners are lovely and helpful and the accommodation was spacious, well equipped and very clean. It was great to meet the animals on the farm (including Sam, who is a lovely dog!).The accommodation is of the highest standard and I would fully recommend this as a great place to stay.

The cottage was perfect for our weekend away with friends. On arrival, we were greeted by Chris and the farm dog Sam. The place was warm and welcoming. The open plan living space was generous. The kitchen was very well equipped and the large farmhouse table served us well for Sunday Lunch and playing games! Everyone agreed that the beds were very comfortable. Being all on one level was great for one of our friends who had mobility problems (with only a few steps outside to get to the car).
