    The welcome basket was a lovely touch too! I spent my week clearing out my mums house after she passed away recently and the annex provided a cosy, homely, peaceful retreat at the end of long chaotic days. I loved the comfy furniture and well equipped kitchen and the wonderful views from the annex, watching the birds in the trees and enjoying the peace and quiet and even the odd clip-clop of horses. Although I didn’t visit local attractions, I am a Somerset girl, and have lived in the locale previously. There is such a lot to see and do, this really is a good base for exploring!

    The garden in the height of summer is a delight to relax in, and the views from the windows are equally enjoyable. There are four National Trust properties not far away. Our favourite is Montacute House and the ‘Lady’s Walk’ high in the woods that is not to be missed. Thank you yet again Jan and Steve for your warm welcome. Janet and John.

    This was by far the best.Outside the quiet, the views, they were just perfect. Even with the rain. It was just a pity that we could not sit on the balcony or in the garden when we were at home, but that wasn't the owners fault. We have already recommended it to several friends who want a getaway holiday. The kitchen was exceptional equipped. Everything I wanted was there. I could find no fault with the annex.
