Beautiful luxurious cottage, extremely clean with all the amenities you require! Heated floor and shower/bath were lovely and WI-FI was good enough to stream TV on. Location was beautiful and hosts really friendly and kind. The animals on site are an added bonus too especially Eric the pig!

Open plan single floor old stable building. Laid out very well and very spacious. Stone floors throughout which is a bonus when you have dogs. Very close to two main roads for easy access to the surrounding area, but set back away from the road in peaceful surroundings.

Amazing accommodation and owners. We had everything we could possibly need for a self catering holiday and the property (and hot tub) were immaculately clean.

Rachel

Wow! What an amazing place. We had the most amazing week here, we were so sad to leave. Such a lovely warm welcome by the owner when we arrived. There's so many places nearby to explore. We were recommended to go to Tarr Steps by the owner and so glad he did, it was so beautiful. I would highly recommend going to see the valley of the rocks and Sau nton sands too. Couldn't recommend this place enough, so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the owners are just so lovely.
