Where do I start! I don’t normally use words like Brilliant, Magnificent, wonderful, perfect, fab even. But in this instance I shall use them all. Probably the nearest to “heaven on earth” one can ever get. The owners introduced themselves to enquire if everything was OK. Best eggs and the cake was delicious.Never realised that Somerset was so picturesque. We even had a spot of rain!

What a fantastic holiday we had staying at Stables End. The cottage was amazing. Clean, modern and extremely comfortable particularly the bed! The owners Richard and Sonya have a beautiful holiday home and have clearly put a lot of thought into making their guests stay wonderful. We were welcomed after a long 5 hour journey with milk, eggs and cake! The cottage is set in the perfect location for both coast, country and dark skies gazing. We would love to come back again and stay. Thank you Richard and Sonya
