Lovely setting, warm and friendly hosts. Catered for pets with bed, towels and feeding bowls. The enclosed garden was reassuring with our dog. Parking is in the garden outside the cottage. We received a welcome pack, which included Milk, Cream Tea and a bottle of wine. Would recommend if you're looking a quiet relaxing break with places to visit noRead moret too far away. Hide

We had a lovely stay. We enjoyed our welcome pack and the dogs loved the bed that was provided for them. A really nice enclosed garden for the dogs to enjoy along with seating for us humans! We were also very grateful for the log burner and option to purchase more wood. Also the option to buy 6 fresh eggs was great, we enjoyed them for breakfasRead moret. Good location for Minehead, Taunton and Sheepy's cider farm. Hide

A lovely super clean cottage with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, with good quality bedding. The enclosed garden area was ideal for allowing our spaniel to free run during the day. The owners were most helpful when needed but not intrusive
