Lovely traditional thatched cottage in picturesque village with village shop in pub next door. Spacious living spaces with large dining room plus a 2nd sitting room. Comfy beds, hot showers plus a bath, well equipped kitchen, utility room plus useful outside covered area outside back door. Excellent enclosed garden, shame it wasn't warm enough in late Oct to sit out and use the BBQ.Younsters found the swings just across the road and enjoyed playing pooh sticks over the nearby small bridges.Maybe it should be mentioned in the details that most of the bedding included feather pillows and duvets in case of allergies. Plenty of additional blankets were available for winter stays.Nearby Tarr Steps was a perfect short walk, looking lovely in autumn colours. Kids loved the beach at Minehead with the ship-themed playground good for all ages on the promenade with parking alongside.Accommodation worked well for our multigeneration group of 2 grandparents, 4 parents and 3 grandkids so pleased to recommend Royal Oak Farm.

Lovely cottage with a lot of space for a long overdue family reunion. Nice garden to run around in and a traditional pub next door. The location is pretty but also fairly remote so do all your shopping before you arrive :)
