One of the best cottages that I've stayed in. Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. Sue and Chris were excellent hosts. Milk, wine and a box of chocolates were very welcoming. Loved all the animals on the farm. Sam the dog was so friendly. Excellent location to visit the area. We went to all the nature reserves as we are into birding and photography. We visited cheddar caves, stourhead and longleat and managed to climb to the top of Glastonbury Tor. Excellent week. Very enjoyable. Would highly recommend this cottage.
