The rural Somerset parish of Sutton Mallet can be found on the low lying land known as Sedgemoor on the Somerset Levels, nestling at the foot of the Polden Hills, six miles from the bustling town of Bridgwater. The Somerset Levels are an Area of Special Scientific Interest, a marshy area intersected by water channels which stretch from the Mendip Hills as far as Taunton, and are internationally renowned for wintering wildfowl and provide a habitat for numerous species of breeding birds.

It was perfectly clean, and the owners were very helpful, and dealt swiftly with any issues (eg the TV developed a fault and was immediately replaced)The cottage was beautifully decorated.The WiFi was excellent! It was easy to control the temperature inside the cottage, and easy to work the fabulous shower, and also the appliances in the kitchen.There was a folder giving full instructions for everything.The countryside around the cottage is stunning, and the owners made available a large number of books, maps etc of walks and places to visit.There was also a huge library of books. Anybody booking this cottage for a holiday will have a very comfortable and stress-free stay.
