Beautiful house with lovely views of the Quantock Hills area. House was super clean and had everything you could want. There was even a freshly made Victoria Sandwich cake left for us on our arrival! Beds are really comfortable and there were a couple of fans which were needed as in the main living area the sun made the room very warm - maybe a couple of blinds at the large windows may help? The hot hub was a relaxing luxury at the end of the day. All in all, a lovely place to stay. I would recommend it and would return.

Beautiful location off the beaten track. A short drive to the coast and positioned amongst several Quantocks footpaths. Very clean, comfortable and the hot tub was perfect. Only request would be black-out blinds to darken the bedrooms and cool down the living space.

We stayed in the foxglove for our mini moon after our wedding. We loved this place and hope to return. It was stunning and so quiet. Managed to get food shop delivered, which made life easier. Also the owner cooks home made food, which was so tasty. Highly recommend. Owners are so lovely and helpful. Always around in case you hit any problems. Love Bincombe Country Cottages.
