Beautiful setting and lovely accommodation

This is an immaculate apartment - spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard. It's well within reach of charming small towns and slightly further afield, the bigger towns of Bath, Bristol and Wells. The hosts couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I'd thoroughly recommend this apartment to family and friends and my husband and I hope to return very soon.
