I was a bit worried that the nearby motorway would be noisy, despite previous reviews saying it wasn't. At home we live in a quiet village and we were pleasantly surprised that previous reviews were correct. The cottage was larger than we expected and we were very pleased with it. The Museum of Somerset at Taunton is worth visiting if you are thereRead more. Hestercombe gardens were good and we booked a Tramper buggy there for my disabled wife. Hide

Well equipped holiday home with practical furnishings and very dog friendly. Lovely countryside setting yet close to main routes for exploring the surrounding area. Dunster castle, cheddar gorge, the quantocks, etc. all under an hour's drive as well as some lovely walks closer afield.

Its a lovely spacious cottage, beds comfy, shower and cooking factifies good and the hot tub provides an excellent way, to wind down for the day. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Jemma

We had a lovely time. Great location most things we wanted was 20-30 mins away. Two supermarkets within 10 mins away. Lovely garden. We took our kids they loved the big open space in garden. Odd layout inside as bedrooms are not near each other but works. Lovely kitchen island detail. Shower was great for pressure. Hot tub was lovely to have enjoye d using that. Bit tired in a couple of odd places but still a lovely property.

David

First impressions of the cottage when we arrived were wow, it was exactly as described on the website and better in person. The cottage has everything to make you feel at home and the helpful guide left by the owners with info from the local area to setting up the WiFi. The added benefit of the hot tub was the icing on the cake being able to relax away the day looking up to the church all lit up at night. I would highly recommend church view to anyone.
