The cottages have been renovated to a very good standard.

The cottages are located around the corner from the popular local pub which serves food, and close to some excellent walking areas.

Really nice, well appointed and comfortable cottage and a welcome gift of breakfast items was much appreciated. I would be very happy to return and I have recommended it to family who enjoy visiting Somerset. Two minor considerations. I was fine with the height of the sloping ceilings in the bedroom, but someone very tall might find it to be more of a challenge. The directions to the cottage from within the village might be improved with the odd tweak- but other than that I would highly recommend.

Lovely little former stables well converted and in a quiet location (except for the neighbour's yappy dog!). Convenient to traditional pub, though couldn't book for Sunday night, though Saturday was fine for us. Convenient for the many nature reserves in the area (RSPB, Natural England NNR, Somerset Wildlife Trust, Hawk and Owl Trust). On a H&S matter, a set of oven gloves would have been helpful.

Had a lovely stay at The Stable. Very clean and comfortable with everything you would need. Very quiet location with a very friendly pub at the end if the road that served good homemade meals. The only downside to location is it doesn't have a local shop. Have to travel a couple of miles for provisions. Very central to all major attractions. Would recommend.
