Pub about 40 mins walk away. Cottage very comfortable, warm and comfortable. Close to Taunton, Lyme Regis and many other beautiful locations.

We wanted to be as remote as possible to avoid any NYE fireworks and this was the perfect location. Nicola and Mike have thought of everything, this is a luxurious home from home place to be. The kitchen is well equipped making self catering easy, there is a great strong shower, and super comfy bed. The garden was completely secure for our dog so we had no concerns there. Although we were there in December at no point were we cold, the property has lovely solid floors so we were pleased we had packed our slippers (we always do) but the cottage stayed warm throughout as there are lots of radiators and heated towel rails. Bedding was spotlessly clean and there was an abundance of towels. Nicola and Mike had also kindly popped in some welcome treats which were very much appreciated, especially the freshly laid eggs. Although remote and rural the Greyhound Pub is only a short drive away, and Taunton was only about a 15 min drive away. The views were amazing and we were only disappointed that we werenât there longer in warmer weather to have a lazy breakfast in the garden. We would definitely return and definitely recommend.

Very rural, but still a relatively short distance to all the amenities. A quiet, relaxing break.
