Ideal for a first holiday with our rescue spaniel who enjoyed looking for rabbits in the field! Thank you for the cake and bread which were delicious. We will return if we visit Somerset again.

Comfortable bed, couch and arm chairs . A lovely wellcome pack was there for us, including essentials and a delicious homemade drizzle cake. Jo and Adrian were very welcoming, helpful and friendly without being obtrusive. As well as the garden at the cottage, Jo offered us the use of her own garden and summerhouse, overlooking her garden pond , and the guest garden , there was also a field where our puppy could run off lead. It was a very quiet and peaceful (except when Adrian mowed the lawns

The hosts were amazing, even ringing their vet for us and arranging an appointment in what turned out to be a very serious problem. Thank you so much Adrian and Jo for your concern and care! The cottage was well equipped, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need and because of the dog was a godsend as normally we eat out all the time! The bed was so comfortable like sleeping on a cloud! Marvellous! Due to the dog we spent a lot more time in the cottage and the garden than we would normally and it was peaceful and quiet! Our GSD dogs had a lovely time in the garden that was surrounded by a picket fence. There is a large designated parking space just behind the cottage though youâre able to unload to front. We found the cottage fit us and two dogs comfortably. The location is ideal for walkers, beach lovers and castle/shops explorers. Really enjoyed our stay here despite everything an
