we loved our stay, the cottage was really cosy and had everything we could possibly need. The suggestions of things to do were really useful we did almost everything!! Bridie was great to communicate with and supportive when we had an issue.
This is a very pleasant comfortable cottage situated in a quiet off road terrace close to the parish church and local amenities. A great base for exploring this part of North Somerset/East Devon and Exmoor.

We had a lovely weekend in a perfect cottage Everything we needed was on hand Would love to return
Fantastic cottage, right in a quite village location. Perfect.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay
Fabulous cottage, beautifully decorated and very cosy on a very cold weekend. Great location, bus driver even dropped us off right by the church! Hope to return in the summer months.

We arrived for the weekend to find the cottage welcoming and homely, well laid out and warm. What was beyond anyone's control was the major storm that hit the area next morning and the 3 day power blackout for porlock and the surrounding area. We look forward to returning in better weather and will ....

Beautiful cottage, felt at home as soon as we arrived. Had everything we needed, will definitely be using again and wish we were able to stay longer.
