We stayed for a long weekend and left feeling sad we hadnt booked longer. This really was a great experience, as my partner quotes "a home away from home". We enjoyed the hottub so much and really felt relaxed after returning home. Great open set up inside with everything you could need. Our only recommendations (not complaints as had a lovely stay) would be a sign for gate entrance and note on the directions online as we struggled finding it at first, a little bit of maintenance with the lights in the bathroom and outside and finally a little net for the hot tub as it can get quite abit of dirt inside if you are hopping in and out of it. Again we thank Andy the owner for the wonderful stay and have already recommended our couple friends!

The setting was fantastic and very very peaceful. The views over the surrounding area were beautiful. We could see and hear the West Somerset Steam Train in the distance most days.
