Reviews
"So said one of our children. Truth is we didn't need to.Minehead and Dunster Castle are near though. As are the shops.... but by car not walking. Family party of 15 with ages ranging from 4 to 70 and every one of us had fallen in love with the place by the time we left. So much to do ...sauna..hot tub...pool..table tennis (I won !)....adjoining paddock for frisbies, games, running,walking......quiet areas...TV lounges etc etc. Minor niggles...the property is on the busy A39 so walking to the village not for toddlers although opposite the gate is a little used path via fields to the Cider Farm at Torre, Check the O/S map before you attempt this. The property is getting on for 15 years old and some wear and tear is evident but the maintenance and cleaning crew are friendly and responsive. We would go back."
"We had a family gathering here for a long weekend. The communication prior and post visit was excellent. The house was immaculate and contained everything we needed, plenty for a large party of people. Each room and the whole space was well thought out and included finishing touches. The hottub and outside spaces were excellent with ample furniture and we were lucky to be able to spend time outside enjoying them. The views were amazing and it was a lovely walk to the nearest coastal town. An amazing venue definitely contributed to the enjoyment of our weekend."
"what a fantastic cottage. nothing to complains about. plenty of room for everyone. kitchen very well equipped. we had snow which was lovely to see on the big open fields. logs fire sauna hot tub all used. welcome hamper was all used up especially the chocolate cake. correspondence between Sarah and us was fantastic nothing was too much trouble she answered all our questions. Go to the Blue Anchor pub short drive away. right on the coast amazing old pub. lots of supermarkets. Minehead was fun too."
