• "Just returned from a week at the marvellous Sunnyside."

  What a great location and setting with all the home comforts required for an enjoyable holiday. The owners were extremely helpful but never intrusive. We had the run of the gardens, wood and field, which was great for our dog. The Greyhound Inn is literally right next to the property, and we enjoyed a quality Sunday lunch there. There is a dog friendly area inside where you can eat. Taunton is a short drive away, and we travelled to Lyme Regis, Lynmouth and Cheddar Gorge during our stay. I would thoroughly recommend Sunnyside for a holiday.

  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you. Property Owner

  The cottage we very comfortable and well equipped. And the surrounding were great. The owner Diane was very welcoming and informed us that we could take our dog into the adjoining wooded area and field as they also owned that. This was a great bonus and it was a lovely spot to throw a ball for our dog and take a stroll around. Thank you a great break away to recharge.

• "If you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic hideaway, then this is it!"

  Really pretty property in beautiful surroundings. We couldn’t fault it - except for one very small suggestion - a shelf in the bathroom (nowhere to put things). The pub next door is also very friendly and dogs are welcome, though if you want to eat - you should book. We would definitely book this cottage again and have already recommended. Thank you so much for a lovely restorative holiday. Sally & John

  Thank you for your comments. We have put in a new shelf unit for the 2024 season. Property Owner

  As guest you are allowed to wander around the beautiful garden and woodland of the very friendly and helpful owner, which are an oasis of peaceful quiet. The property sits a very short walk from the local pub, which serves great food at democratic prices. We highly recommend this holiday home.

• "Sunnyside is a delightful cottage with every need covered As my husband is slightly disabled we were very pleased that doorways and bathroom catered for his rollator and wheelchair."

  Outside there is a flat paved area with glorious planting set around it and garden furniture where we could relax in the sunshine. Sunnyside is aptly named. The owners were very welcoming and extremely friendly, they were delighted to show us their glorious garden and suggested we share their garden, meadow and woods. All in all it was a wonderful week, we enjoyed it so much we decided to book another week later in the year. Thank you Diane and Brian.

• "Phone signal was poor but WiFi excellent."

  Bit frustrating for phoning but small price to pay for being in such a peaceful and inspiring place. Garden is stunning. Beautiful meadow and woods all on site. Charming hosts. Local pub very welcoming and even though I was one my own with my dog I didn't feel uncomfortable. Highly recommended for a relaxed break. The honey made on site is the best I've ever had. I don't normally like it!

  Also a whip round all the cobwebs wouldn't be a bad idea, neither if these points would stop us returning to a well positioned cottage for touring the area

• "Sunnyside Cottage is set in the owners beautiful grounds."

  So peaceful and relaxing. It has its own enclosed sunny patio garden,with lovely views across the village and towards the church. The steeple was lite up at night. Hearing the owl hooting every night was so magical. The Cottage it's self was so homely and had every thing you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. The Greyhound Public House just a short walk away was very friendly and served excellent food. It was ideally situated to visit places not only in Somerset but also Devon. For us it was the perfect place to stay. So much so we are going to stay later in the year again.

• "Diane and Brian at Sunnyside were warm and welcoming."

  Sunnyside it is a beautiful location and the gardens, private woodland and field were amazing for our little dog. It was incredibly private to the point we really only caught sight of the owner twice. Sunnyside is extremely clean and very well equipped. The small enclosed garden faces south and again is very private. My elderly parents slept in the bedroom on a very comfortable bed. I slept on the bed settee, unfortunately I did have lower back pain before the holiday and the mattress on the bed settee for an adult wasn’t padded enough ( the addition of a better mattress is needed). A child’s weight on it would be absolutely fine. The local pub is 5 minutes away on foot and is under new management and the food was very well priced and absolutely delicious. Diane and Brian make Honey it looks delicious and I have bought one to take home can’t wait to try it. Thank you for a wonderful stay, hope to see you again in the future.

  It's great for wheelchair users , there being no step .The double doors at the front of the cottage have good access and the internal doors are extra wide . The wet room again , gives easy access . The gardens where a delight to walk around for a nice leg stretch . I have to say that Diane and Brian where a lovely couple that couldn't do enough for us . They was always at hand for any help or enquires we may have had and of course Ruby the little dog , what an absolute delight she is with her ball .

• "Perfect hideaway holiday to get away from it all."

  We slept for England in the very comfortable bed. comfortable sofa , warm heating system, good walk in shower / wet room. Only a 5 minute drive to Taunton , lots of shopping and good restaurants . 20 minute drive to either cost for fossil hunting , 10 minute drive to the shooting range if thats what you like to have a go at. Hosts were a lovely couple who left us to our own privacy but were on hand if we needed anything ( try Dianes' honey from her own bee hives.....yum) Beautiful garden to stroll around...orchards...little pony in his field. Brilliant holiday, we didn't want to leave. Fay and Brad.
