I loved every minute of my stay bit disappointed to not get the full value of pool time as that was the only reason I chose to try out this place instead of hotels

Great accommodation with nice welcome pack. Ideal for exploring North and South of Somerset. Ideal for nice walks with the dogs. The free use of the magnificent swimming pool is a real bonus. One suggestion and by any ways not a criticism. The garden is at the front could do with a gate so that the dogs can sit with us without having to be on the lead. Just a minor thing. Thank you Emily.
