We are a group of friends and their dogs that have come to the Coach House every year, for several years now. The open plan downstairs means that everyone can join in the conversations whether they are in the lounge reading or cooking or washing up. It is so dog friendly and is a safe area for the dogs to empty even in the dark at night. We are looking at dates for next year already.

A lovely cottage, with a log fire that kept us very cosy. Quite remote but that suited us. Beautiful location and close to lovely places to visit. Watchet, Dunster and Dulverton to mention a few.
