Lovely Place to Relax
Very nice property to just relax and take in the wonderful scenery. A bit off the beaten track and narrow lanes to get there but it is great to get away from the rush and just chill.

Relaxing with wonderful views and walks
The property is well equipped although some sharp kitchen knives would help in the kitchen. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. Plenty of hot water and good heating.Great to sit in the garden or on the patio to look out over the garden and fields. Although out in the country it was very easy to get into Taunton to shop etc when needed. We stayed in March with lots of wind and rain and still enjoyed our stay. In the summer it will be wonderful if you want a quiet get away. Wifi signal is weak, the strongest signal being by the book shelves right of the fire place.

Rural Idyll Near Taunton
We found the Garden Cottage spacious, well-equipped and clean, together with being an ideal base for beautiful walks in the Somerset countryside. Equally, Taunton and Wellington are a few minutes drive away. The Half Moon pub in the village is a short walk away, with a delicious Sunday lunch available at a very reasonable price. We fully recommend this property to families and small groups.

Loved this comfortable cottage in a beautiful location
We loved this place. It had comfortable beds, great family spaces and a beautiful garden with a view across fields. One of the best homes I've stayed in, I highly recommend it for a calming break with space for the kids to play outside. I really didn't want to leave...

As above, this is a very spacious and well appointed apartment in a lovely setting, with all that one needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay ... once one gets used to the narrow lanes!
