This is the second time we have been to the cottage, we loved it, the cottage is set in a beautiful location, so peaceful, and relaxing, this year we even saw the deer in the rear field. Due to its central location we traveled many places, a short walk down to Kilve beach, stopping at the Chantry tea room, Dunster Castle, Dunster village, Dunster bRead moreeach, Porlock, Lynmouth Lynton, Weston-super-Mare and Brean downs, but it was always lovely to get back to the cottage and relax, Just Brilliant Hide

A really lovely location and a very helpful and friendly owner. The cottage was well presented and represented good value for money. It could do with some updating but this did not detract in any way from our enjoyment.

We had a great time, the cottage was lovely and quaint, there was everything we needed. The location was so quiet, which again was just perfect. Lovely walk down the lane to the cliffs, which then you could walk for miles across the cliff coastal walk. The family who owned the cottage were there if we needed them, but never imposed themselves on usRead more, infact we hardly saw them. We hope to be going again. Drives out to Lynmouth, Western, Brean, Dunster, Minehead, Porlock, are a must Hide

The property is beautiful, very comfortable and homely, with a large enclosed private garden. The facilities are in good working order and very clean. There is plenty to do both locally and within driving distance, such as the local pub at the end of the lane, the Chantry Tea Rooms at the other end of the lane, the rugged and beautiful coast line, Read morewalks into the stunning Quantocks, Dunster Castle and amazing beaches to name a few.

Host were friendly. Cottage needs a major update and the garden is on a slope so any time you want to eat outside the table and chairs are on an angle. If you think of taking your dog the garden isnt really fenced so could easily get out or drop into the stream at the back of the house.
