I stayed at Chestnut Cottage with my partner and dog. The pictures actually do not do justice to how beautiful the cottage is and the location is really wonderful. There are many scenic walks nearby and easy to get to. The hosts Sarah and Lee were really welcoming and helpful. The welcome basket was also a lovely surprise. The location is quiet and private. Was perfect to rest and recharge the batteries after a long few months. Can't recommend enough. Ethan, Sophie & Cole.

Lovel apartment, everything we could need, with panoramic window over garden. Location suited us for visiting places, especially Wells but also some nearby nature reserves.
