  • "Totally adequate for our stay, a basic comfortable bungalow, with everything provided as required."

    it is pet friendly, but be aware the flooring is wooden and so paws can slip around. outlook is very nice, also a quiet part of Somerset. we stayed in end bungalow, part of 3 linked bungalows. Mallard, Widgeon, and Teal.

  • "It is a fabulous location and a lovely cottage for our four-night stay."

    As an elderly couple, having a handrail to get in and out of the shower and bath would have been helpful. The bathroom needs a window blind or curtain; we felt pretty exposed at night. Our small Yorkshire terrier was made to feel welcome. It is a perfect location for astrophotography - I have superb photos taken from the garden of galaxies 7 million light-years from Earth.
