What an absolute gem! Such a stunningly presented cottage. Beautiful contemporary decor with serious attention to detail that makes this feel like a home away from home! In fact, even better than my home... Beds were so comfortable with (what I found out was very expensive) bedding which made it feel like sleeping in a cloud. Kitchen, bathroom and utility room all fully equipped and beautifully presented. The location is stunning in the hamlet of Coxley which is a 5 minute drive to the gorgeous city of Wells (or Sandford for you Hot Fuzz fans!!) and a 25 minute drive to Cheddar. We had such an amazing weekend and wished we could have stayed longer. Glasto and Bath also on the doorstep. A huge thanks to Sarah for looking after us and providing us with some yummy treats when we arrived. You couldn't ask for anything more here - thank you x

I stayed at Chestnut Cottage with my partner and dog. The pictures actually do not do justice to how beautiful the cottage is and the location is really wonderful. There are many scenic walks nearby and easy to get to. The hosts Sarah and Lee were really welcoming and helpful. The welcome basket was also a lovely surprise. The location is quiet and private. Was perfect to rest and recharge the batteries after a long few months. Can't recommend enough. Ethan, Sophie & Cole.
