The coach house property is lovely but location and amenties are far away , as you have to drive 30 to 40 minutes to get to a supermarket. The property is very dog friendly and big enough for a family to stay. Great holiday to relax in the countryside and lovely walks.

The Coach House was a perfect place for our family get together for my 70th.The outside space was a safe and secure large courtyard for Children age 2, 7 and 9 and dogs (4) to play in with a dog walking field and a room with table tennis adjoining. House was open plan with plenty of space to cook eat and socialise with lovely ensuite bedrooms.Recommend having a shop delivered or taking supplies as local shops 20 mins on small roads. Minehead 25 mins on good roads for a seaside day out, and Wimbleball lake is only a 6 min drive for lovely views and walks.Hosts Beth and Simon were on hand for any advise/help needed!
