"Rainbow View is a lovely place to stay for peace and quite as it is a bit remote but in good weather excellent views, our neighbours were the piglets in the fields opposite."
The welcome was excellent as was the welcome pack with still warm freshly baked bread. the property was very well maintained but the shower enclosure let it down with some black mould in the corner and a small amount along the side. the main problem was no hot water as a new boiler was about to be installed to replace the defunct existing one. we would have no hesitation in returning and the owners were very friendly and obliging.

"Wonderful!!!"
Anna and Neil were gracious hosts and the cottage was perfect in every way. Peaceful, wonderful views and very relaxing.

"It is nice, quiet, beautiful countryside view and home-like place."
we enjoy our two days stay there with fresh air, stars-night. Neil is so friendly and polite, do everything as we requested. Even after 10pm, he asked technical service for one electrical line (lamp flashing sometimes, we told him we could turn off it). We guessed he paid lots for this service. Thanks Neil!

"Absolutely lovely cottage kitchen everything you need living room big with a very comfortable sofa ."
Bathroom with shower perfect for us two or family bedrooms great size both of them with the best bed my wife has slept in. Conservatory i could sit in any month of the year and enjoy the views. The only thing was two lose slabs to step out but we left a note about them as we don't want anyone to fall. Parking your own space just up from the cottage and we took our two dog's who loved everything about it. We loved the peace and quiet the view's the horse's and goat. We have already recommend you twice to friends and we loved it so much we can't wait to come back ASAP. Thank you for letting us stay in your fantastic cottage.

"Lovely peaceful setting."
Cottage is equipped with everything needed. Spotlessly clean. Very roomy. Lovely welcome with the fresh bread and butter. Stunning views sadly we didn’t see much of it as it was constantly pouring down but we had a very relaxed time with friends and feel Totally refreshed. Thank you

"Stunning views at Rainbow View."
The owners left a very lovely welcome pack. As a November visit & a very rural location, wellies are a must & we took our dogs: if your dogs are ‘jumpers’, the fences around the patio might be easy for them to get over. Lovely walks around and stunning countryside. Rainbow view is warm & spacious & bedrooms cosy; no light/noise pollution! Thank you for a lovely very needed peaceful break.
We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Rainbow View - we hope to see you again! Thank you for the great review :) Property Owner

"The cottage is beautiful - with lovely decor and furniture and a real home from home."
The welcome goodies were a tasty treat too - thank you. The view is gorgeous - on a sunny day! and is perfectly placed for walks with the dogs or wandering around some of the lovely towns, visiting the pubs for scrumptious meals etc. One thing I would recommend is good outdoor lighting - the lights are there we just didn't know how to turn them on, otherwise this cottage is a must book in our opinion.

"A perfect rural retreat, fully equipped cottage with beautiful views, we all felt at home instantly."

"Beautifully clean and comfy accommodation."
Such a nice surprise to have a freshly baked loaf of bread waiting to greet us when we arrived. The owners had thought of everything you would need, it was also nice to have milk, tea, coffee and sugar already in the accommodation so you could make a much needed cup of tea on arrival.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're really happy to hear that you had everything you needed and liked our cottage :) Property Owner

"Beautifully presented cottage."
Very spacious and comfortable. Stunning view over the valley. Out in the middle of nowhere so very quiet, but the location is great for easy access to both coasts, Somerset & North Devon. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

"Rainbow View is the perfect place for a relaxing break in beautiful Somerset."
Set in a very rural location, it is close enough to the main roads to visit the many lovely places the area has to offer. This was our.second stay at Rainbow View, and we enjoyed it as much as the first stay, as did our two wee dogs.
Thanks for another great review! We hope to see you again. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Rainbow View everything was exactly as we had hoped, immaculately clean, very comfortable and the view beautiful."
A very peaceful location. My husband was particularly thrilled to be able to charge the electric car without hassle. Neil and Anna were very friendly and accommodating and the warm homemade bread in the Welcome Pack a lovely touch. We would return without a moment’s hesitation and wish them luck with their venture.

"This was a really lovely cottage, elegantly decorated, with large amounts of space and very clean."
A great location to be in the countryside and easy access to the local attractions. The children love using the swimming pool and there was a footpath on our doorstep for dog walking. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone else and now they would have a wonderful stay.
Thank you for the lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"This property is delightful!"
Spotlessly clean, modern, bright with beautiful views. I literally wanted to lift it up and move it home with me! It has everything you need, a real home from home. The hosts are amazing and left us a very generous welcome pack - the homemade bread was to die for!

"Super holiday property, plenty of space in all the rooms."
Very comfortable beds and sofa’s. Very well equipped kitchen, even had a washing machine and tumble dryer. The sunroom was an absolute treat leading to a large patio meaning you can enjoy the most spectacular countryside views in all weathers. The property is well positioned in a quiet location but within reach of many of the delights the country of Somerset has to offer. The hosts are charming, even leaving a welcome pack, the homemade bread was still warm on arrival and the best bread we’ve every had.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We're really glad you had a nice time and enjoyed the bread so much! Property Owner

G. The Donkey Sanctuary, Seaton Tramway, Exeter Cathedral and charming coastal resorts. The accommodation is modern, uncluttered, spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

"After a long journey we received a warm welcome from the owners, Anna and Neil."
There was a lovely welcome gift of wine, cookies, coffee, and a jug of milk in the fridge, along with a scrumptious loaf of freshly baked bread, and butter to spread . The property is spacious, well equipped and beautifully presented. The setting of the property is in the stunning Blackdown Hills, in a tranquil, rural location. The hosts were on hand to answer any questions we had, offering advice on local walks, there if we needed them, and we were left to enjoy our holiday. Geographically well placed for visiting Cheddar Gorge (40 minutes) Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, (90minutes) Seaton Tramway (40 minutes) Also well worth a visit are the lovely Cantonteign Falls, about an hour away. Excellent forest walks only 15 minutes drive away at Staple Hill and Castle Neroche. We can't guarantee the lovely weather we enjoyed, but can't recommend this holiday let highly enough, we will definitely be returning. Ken, Bev and Minnie dog. x
Thank you so much for the feedback. We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay, and the fruits of our wonderful bread machine Property Owner

"Rainbow view was all we hoped for and more!"
The house is modern, comfortable and clean, it has a fantastic conservatory which overlooks the beautiful rolling hills and is the perfect place to relax at any time of day. The location is ideal for exploring Somerset, Devon and Dorset where there are many things to see and do. Anna and Neil are delightful hosts who make you feel so welcome and are on hand if you need any help or advice but also allow you to have your own privacy. We would highly recommend this holiday home and would also love to return in the near future.
We're really pleased that you enjoyed your stay! Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We'd love to have you back another time! Anna Property Owner

The property
Churchinford 2.4 miles.
Nestled in the heart of Somerset in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Rainbow View, which lies within six acres of private grounds in the rural parish of Churchstanton.
This idyllic, cosy abode benefits from a fantastic location overlooking the breath-taking, open countryside.
There is private parking for two cars and two beautifully-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for families, couples or friends looking to explore the wonders of Somerset with their beloved canine companion.
The property boasts a fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals for the whole family or pamper your partner with a romantic meal for two.
Dine together in either the kitchen or around the stylish large table in the open-plan dining/living room, and raise a toast to your getaway ahead of snuggling up on the plush corner sofa and flicking on the Smart TV to select a film for the evening.
In the warmer months enjoy the south-facing aspect of the property on the private terrace, or take a stroll around the grounds.
When the sky darkens, find the sleek shower room, and wash off the day’s adventures before choosing between the super-king-size bed or the king-size to drift off to sleep in.
If you are a keen horse rider, why not bring your four legged friend with you; the stables, grazing, and the use of the large ménage can be arranged separately.
If you can tear yourself away from your new home-from-home, venture into Churchinford where you can stock up on all the essentials for your self-catered stay or enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen at The York Inn, which serves a variety of delicious food.
Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda are all located in the nearby towns of Wellington and Taunton, and will deliver to the property.
Rainbow View lies in the heart of the breath-taking Blackdown Hills where keen ramblers can roam the picturesque landscape with routes including the Valleyheads Way and Staple Hill/Neroche Forest, where there are dedicated routes for cycling and multiple horse riding circuits!
If you don’t fancy getting in the car, take a stroll up the lane to the 14th century Church of Churchstanton, passing the local outdoor reared piglets along the way, or set off along the footpath from Rainbow View and enjoy walks through fields, woodland, and pretty dells.
Be sure to explore the heritage woven throughout the area such as the striking Wellington Monument, the unique Culmstock Beacon and the fascinating Dunkeswell Abbey which was founded in 1201.
Take a scenic drive to the county town of Somerset, Taunton, where you can immerse yourself in the past at the Museum of Somerset or take to the River Tone with kayaks and paddle boards from French Weir Park.
Also a short drive away is the breathtaking Jurassic coast; enjoy fossil hunting at Lyme Regis, let the kids enjoy the sand at Charcombe, or take to the South West Coast Path for stunning walks.
All this and more awaits at Rainbow View.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
