Beautiful, comfortable cottage in a lovely country town. Great location for visiting the attractions of Somerset. Welcome milk, wine etc is a lovely touch. The heating kept the house cosy in the autumn evenings and I had dry weather to enjoy breakfast in the garden.

We enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was clean, warm, well furnished. Clear instructions were provide for operating all the appliances. We did not use the terrace which could be a nice place to sit in warmer weather.

This lovely little converted barn was comfortable, well furnished and spotlessly clean. We spent a very happy 3 weeks here.
