We had a wonderful time staying in the old dairy annexe. It’s ideally situated making it easy to visit somerset, Devon, and even Dorset. Plenty of places to visit. The accommodation was very well thought out and comfortable. Everything you need was there. We took our bikes and used the many bike paths . Our hosts were lovely , even helped fix one of our bikes.The George pub is a great place to eat and only around the corner. We would definitely recommend. This place comes high up on our list of best places to stay . Loved it .

The Old Dairy Annexe provides spacious and comfortable accommodation in a courtyard setting.

The Old Dairy Annexe provides spacious and comfortable accommodation in a courtyard setting. The welcoming and genial owners keep both the interior and exterior of the Annexe spotlessly clean and well maintained. Ilminster is just a short drive away as is Chard, there are plenty to places to visit and explore in the area and it does not take long to drive to the coast, so it is well located. If you are up for it, Ilminster can be reached by foot along the old railway line from Donyatt Halt. The nearby pub "The George" serves excellent food and is an absolute bonus. Highly recommended.
