Wonderful stay away
We had a relaxing long weekend away, to attend a friends wedding in the area.
The hosts were so helpful before our arrival, and really made us feel welcome during our stay. They were able to recommend places and food locally. They were so kind and friendly to our young children.
The property has everything you could need. It was so clean and homely.
The situation of the property is so beautiful, and we were lucky with the weather we were able to enjoy eating outside on the patio and sitting on the balcony to relax.
Thankyou so much for a perfect trip away.

Super spot in Somerset
Lovely warm welcoming holiday home. Peaceful countryside location. It had everything we needed, was absolutely spotless and was a cosy, comfortable haven to return to after exploring Somerset during some wet Autumn weather. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Thankyou
Beautifully appointed. Had a good meal at the pub in Shepton Montevideo and a very good visit to Montecute House. Also a lovely garden at Hauser and Wirth but we didn’t like the Current exhibition.
We would’ve liked a few more pieces of crockery and take your own dishwasher tablets.
