We arrived to find the property even nicer than the photos suggested, which was a lovely surprise. Parking was plentifuland the outdoor space with gravel, grass, a big decking areaand a covered porch was perfect for relaxing. Inside, everything was spotless and super comfy. There are lovely walks nearbyand while it's quite secluded, it’s only a short drive to Bridgewater and Taunton. The hot tub was great, warming up quickly with fantastic views. Definitely recommend!
