Lovely cottage with a very private garden. Great hot tub. Peaceful location we saw deer outside the cottage. Lots of gliders flying over we walked to the Devon & Somerset glider club open to non residents with a great cafe. If you are looking for privacy in a great location its a good choice.

Wonderful log Cabin with a secluded, secure garden and a perfectly formed hot tub. Views over second dog friendly field were beautiful, games room was great entertainment for teenager. Magical woodland walks were a highlight - look for the Woodland Trust route in Blackborough Forest, just a couple of fields away. Imogen and Justin were great hosts.

A warm welcome from our host, who left a bottle of fizz, & a welcome greeting on a postcard, to greet our arrival; the postcard gave a brief historical insight into their local links, which is a nice memento of our stay. Lovely, peaceful, spot, & ideal base for exploring the area.
