Gorgeous cottage, comfortable, warm and well equipped. Views are glorious and the hot tub is a great extra facility. Although in countryside its not remote and there are plenty of pubs and an Italian restaurant nearby for meals out and shops in Ilminster for everything you need. Recommend highly.

We loved our stay.Plenty of space for everyone,nice layout.Great views.Hot tub fun in the snow and ice! Take a bluetooth speaker,none provided. Good size sloping lawn but you'll need wellies in the winter as it's quite boggy.If you have a Houdini (or small) dog,the hedges & 5 bar gate might not contain them,but ours were fine.We got snowed/iced-in Read morewhilst staying,recommend 4x4/AWD in winter, as sloping driveway very icy, and a car slid & crashed outside the barn on a steepish section of the lane.

The barn was great, so clean, well equipped and peaceful. Di the owner was really friendly and accommodating. Our dog Cassie loved the garden there were plenty of pheasants to flush out of the hedges (she is a working dog so she does not chase them).

We were a party of 8 (us, our four young children and our elderly parents) plus our two dogs.
