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.

We stayed at the Stable for a week end of May/ beginning of June 2026 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage is in a pleasant village with good road links to many of the surrounding tourist sights, as well as to Glastonbury, Street and Bridgwater. It is clean, comfortable, quiet and well provided. We were very grateful for the welcome provisions of coffee, tea, muesli, jam, bread, butter and milk. The internet connection worked well and the shower was very good. There is covered off road parking. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. There is no village shop but large supermarkets an easy 5 mile drive away in Street. There is an excellent pub less than a five minute walk down the road: friendly, nice atmosphere and excellent homemade food. We recommend the short walk to the church (which was closed when we went) for the lovely views across the countryside. We would certainly recommend this cottage as an excellent base for visiting Somerset.
