The Firs is a fabulous accommodation for 2 people. This was our 3rd visit so that says a lot. The place is fabulously clean and comfortable and the welcome pack provided is excellent. A cream tea and lots of other lovely goodies awaited us.The Candlelight Inn is a short walk from The Firs and does excellent food at a very reasonable price. We can also recommend The York Inn in nearby Churchinford where there is also a great community shop.The location of the property is well placed to explore Somerset, Devon and Dorset.
