A wonderfully appointed holiday lodge - everything was carefully thought out and beautifully presented.The welcome pack was just amazing and much appreciated. Plenty of local information provided. The hosts helpful but not intrusive.A good base for visiting lots of interesting places, inland and coastal with many local walks on the doorstep.The reopening of the local pub a real bonus as it provides a warm welcome and excellent food.All in all, I thoroughly recommend this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 'The Firs'. A good chance to relax.It is in a good area which enabled trips to the Dorest coastal towns. The North Somerset coast and Exmoor.The Seaton Tramway and South Devon Railway also visited. Just a shame the local pub was only open for one evening of our stay and was rammed!
