Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, one of these being en suite, and there is plenty of room outside as the barn is set on a small private estate, with the additional attraction of some very nosey alpacas.

Primrose is approached via a secluded and stunning tree-lined private drive.

In addition, it is close to the Royal Bath and West Showground and is also conveniently located for the world-famous Glastonbury music festival. This really is a perfect location to visit everything that is on offer in the great area of the south west of England.

Lovely cottage in very good quiet location and convenient to many places of interest. Equipment issue is down to lack of slip mats in showers which resulted in two members of party falling over leaving one badly bruised. Easily resolved by owners and recommend they do so as soon as possible.

Sitting at the end of a long road you get piece and quiet. The cottage has just about everything you need for a week.A nice garden space in a sunny location. Plenty if parking.Alpaca sitting on the grass greet you outside the door and give you such a look when you disturb them sitting on the track.The downside the single beds need be fixed bit loose, all three mattresses gave us backache they need upgrading. The water at the taps has habit of spitting making the hot taps a bit dangerous you have to avoid hot water hitting you.Showers because of the temperamental water are tricky. Fix these problems and you have a comfortable cottage for your holiday.
