  It is a nice little cottage and cosy.

  It was a shame that the fireplace and bread oven don't have some form of lighting, as the room was quite dark, even with the wall lights. The neighbours were very pleasant and the people in and around the village are very nice. There were one or two little issues. Although the owner had said that there was a problem with the plugs in the sink and basin, I found no problem with the sink, but when I put water into the basin in the bathroom and had pushed the plug down, I was constantly chasing the water down the plug hole, so you either had to keep the hot and cold tap running all the time you were washing, or fill the basin right up and wash before the water ran out. I felt this issue could have been solved by a new rubber ring on the plug, possibly. The shower seemed to be a bit stop start and luckily I was only washing my hair. it was almost like an air lock in the system. The back gate was getting more difficult to get in and out of, as it has either dropped or the latch doesn't fit properly. Make sure you take throws with you for the sofa and chair, whether you are taking dog/dogs or not, I am glad I took mine, as the sofa and chairs were a little marked in places as is the cushion on the window seat. More informative leaflets on places to go, walks, etc would be nice. The one telephone number missing in the welcome pack is the local Vets in case of emergency. Also an idea of where the nearest Supermarkets are would have been nice. Other than that, as I say it was nice and cosy and fairly quiet, but the lane was a little busy with traffic on occasions as it's the only access road to and from Kilve beach.

  Well situated property, not far from the M5 so a journey to the South Coast, Devon/Dorset isn't a problem.

  Quite village with gentle walks from the property, canal paths easily accessible. Pub in the village serves basic but good pub food. The property is spotlessly clean and has all the facilities you need, very comfortable. Apartment is first floor and is accessed by some steps to the rear of the property, lovely views across the fields. Unfortunately the week we stayed the weather wasn't the best but we found plenty to do. Thoroughly recommend the West Somerset Railway, the Bishops Lydeard Country Living Museum and slightly further afield Coldharbour Mill in Devon, (down the M5). Also a 55 minute drive to Sidmouth in Dorset to visit the Donkey Sanctuary. Our hosts, Mr and Mrs Allen (along with Holly the dog) welcomed us on arrival but just let us get on with our holiday, always there if needed. All in all an enjoyable stay and no hesitation in staying again should we holiday in Somerset.

  We had a fab time away over Xmas.

  It was immaculately clean and we even met the owners who were so lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Love the down stairs facilities bedrooms and beautiful bathroom shower room my main reason for choosing as I can’t use stairs now. I do have to agree with the all the previous comments the sofas they really uncomfortable it certainly didn’t help my pain I have MS and unfortunately couldn’t get comfortable throughout our stay I spent most of my time sitting in the kitchen! I do wish there was a bigger freezer box it was only a tiny one Inside the fridge … being Xmas we had lots of frozen food unfortunately we couldn’t use but we didn’t throw away we gave to a food bank to be used on the day we gave them …. We would certainly stay again BUT only if the sofas are changed to more comfortable ones. Thanks happy new year 2023

  The cottage was everything we expected.

  Previous reviews were accurate and helped us make the most of the cottage and prepare for the parking. The cottage is beautiful, dog freindly, and our dogs loved it. It has everything you need, is well designed and well kept. Ideal for a couple with maybe one child, the pub and shop is a few.minutes walk,.and in the summer heat, the cottage keeps a perfectly cool temperature. Perfect for sleeping. Everything you need to know is explained in the booklets and the beach is a nice walk away. Parking at the beach is a bit dodgy, make sure you pay at the first 2 machines you see, it's designed to catch you out and pay a fine, I read many reviews including an action fraud investigation. Only improvements would be a slightly bigger TV , I felt.like I went back to the 80s, but everything we needed and could want was there.

  My partner and I stayed here with our two dogs and 10 month old daughter.

  The single bedroom was just big enough to fit our daughters travel cot in (it is a rather large travel cot) and the double bedroom is lovely and spacious. The cottage is a short walk away from Kilve beach which was lovely for the dogs. The bath plug doesn't hold water in and it slowly seeps away. This wasn't too much of an issue for us as by the time the water had dissapeared we had bathed our daughter anyway. The shower was lovely, really good pressure and suited us just fine. There's an alcove in the lounge to the right of the fireplace and if your dog likes a safe space likes ours do then it's ideal! There is also a door at the bottom of the stairs to prevent dogs/ little ones from being able to go up which was fab for us. We had a really lovely stay.
