Absolutely lovely accommodation, with great amenities and very comfortable. Lovely hosts who have 4 lovely, friendly dogs of their own. Very dog friendly, great garden for our dogs too. The Area is a great location for exploring Somerset, Devon and Dorset.We would definitely recommend, and we’re looking at booking Dairy House Farm again.

A lovely cottage for a holiday! Very quiet location, lovely hosts, just next door if we needed anything, with their beautiful dogs and wonderful chickens. The accommodation is excellent, comfortable and clean with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Our dogs loved it too, with a beautiful secure garden for them to run around in. The cottage is ideally situated to get to lots of attractions. This is our third visit, I'm sure it won't be our last.

Cosy well equipped cottage within easy reach of A358, A303 and M5. We normally book "no pets" accommodation but the cottage was exceptionally clean with no doggy smells. Mark and Mary were amiable friendly hosts and we had no problems with their 3 dogs. Would not hesitate to recommend this cottage we had a lovely week here although the weather was cloudy with the odd shower but we found plenty to do and could have done more had our stay been longer.
