I loved the cottage, it had everything we needed for a short break. The owners even provided milk and a bottle of wine plus truffles. Also things you don’t normally get such as washing up liquids and kitchen roll. Sam the dog was delightful. The animals on the farm were a bonus. To be right on the edge of cheddar gordge was dramatic. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Excellent for walkers.
