The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for cooking and eating. After an active day out it was lovely to come back to the comfort of the cottage to chill and relax in front of the log burner, although we were lucky with the weather considering it was February and only used it a couple of times during our stay. The garden was perfect for our Collie being enclosed and safe and also for afternoon tea sat in the courtyard garden in the sun. Very handy for the 7 miles of beach at Brean and bigger supermarkets and so close to Cheddar Gorge and surrounding area. We would not hesitate to re-visit so we can explore some more. Thank you. Belinda and Andy

Comfortable, easy to understand guidance notes and very snug. Great location for exploring on foot and a dog paradise. The hose outside for cleaning off the muck was a great consideration by owner. Highly recommend and we will return in 2025....

The cottage is very well equipped and dog friendly with everything we could have needed during our stay. The welcome pack was gratefully received and the owners really have gone the extra mile with thoughtful touches like cosy throws and blankets, dog treats and an OS map of the area and lots of helpful information about places to visit locally and places to walk from the doorstep. The cottage is in a great location with lots of places to visit within about 15 miles so you donât need to spend lots of time driving for a day out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again if we were in the area.
