Great location, very comfortable house, beautiful views - all in all a wonderful place

We stayed over a long weekend. The house is extremely well situated; we enjoy walking and there are great walks directly from the house to the surrounding beautiful countryside and into Bruton. The house itself is very comfortable, well fitted-out with all conveniences, beautiful bathrooms. There is a balcony from the bedrooms and a terrace from the living room giving out onto grass and the paddocks, south-facing so perfect for eating, barbecues etc. The owners are very friendly and helpful. All in all, highly recommended.

Sehr erholsam

Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb von Bruton und sehr ruhig. Hier kann man wirklich runter kommen. Die Wohnung ist hell freundlich und sehr sauber. Fast wie neu. Man hat viel Platz und fühlt sich gleich wie zu Hause. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir würden hier wieder Urlaub machen.

Wonderful stay away

We had a relaxing long weekend away, to attend a friends wedding in the area. The hosts were so helpful before our arrival, and really made us feel welcome during our stay. They were able to recommend places and food locally. They were so kind and friendly to our young children. The property has everything you could need. It was so clean and homely. The situation of the property is so beautiful, and we were lucky with the weather we were able to enjoy eating outside on the patio and sitting on the balcony to relax. Thankyou so much for a perfect trip away.

Super spot in Somerset

Lovely warm welcoming holiday home. Peaceful countryside location. It had everything we needed, was absolutely spotless and was a cosy, comfortable haven to return to after exploring Somerset during some wet Autumn weather. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Thankyou

Beautifully appointed. Had a good meal at the pub in Shepton Montevideo and a very good visit to Montecute House. Also a lovely garden at Hauser and Wirth but we didn’t like the Current exhibition. We would’ve liked a few more pieces of crockery and take your own dishwasher tablets.
