The property was of an excellent standard throughout. Very comfortable and very well appointed. It is situated in a quiet, pretty village within reach of plenty of walking, seaside and adventure activities. We were a family of 6 adults and enjoyed our stay immensely.
Beautiful and well furnished home in a quiet stunning location. Sarah and Mark were very welcoming and helpful hosts. Would definitely stay again.

A famous Somerset hill topped by a medieval tower, with wide views across the Levels and beyond.
