The cottage was a delight to stay in, super quiet location but easy enough to get to the A39 and beyond. The facilities were the best I've ever had, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The only negative comment we had was with the level of comfort afforded by the 2 two seater sofa's which sadly were quite uncomfortRead moreable for the long dark evenings in November, thankfully there were other chairs we could use.
