Lovely cottage in a quiet and beautiful location. Well equiped and clean. Sue and Chris are great hosts with great local knowledge. The area is stunning with beautiful local country walks over the Mendips and down towards Cheddar. Which os a lovely town with lots of tourist attractions. Wells is a must to visit with its Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Lots of small local shops to browse around.

Lovely farm cottage located in a beautiful area close to Cheddar Gorge, Chew Valley and with many other places of interest nearby. The cottage itself is well equipped, clean and very cosy inside (especially with the heating on!). There is no WIFI, and mobile phone signal was intermittent but that didn’t bother us. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming so we would be more than happy to return in the future.
