We absolutely loved our holiday at Dragonfly 3; me and my partner and our dog. The cottage had everything we needed, was clean and cosy. The little courtyard was a blessing with the dog and for private outdoor space for us too. The area is heavenly, we loved the canal walk to the Lock Inn / Somerset Boat Centre. The owners of the barns were lovely, welcoming and generous and we felt really relaxed and at home there - we will definatly return!

Dragonfly 3 is a comfortable and well equipped barn conversion and we enjoyed a relaxing week there. Our friendly hosts were on hand if needed, and there are lots of peaceful walks. It is conveniently near the Harvest Moon pub and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. There are many places to visit a short drive away - Wells, Glastonbury and the West Somerset Railway to name a few. Can't wait to return and enjoy more Somerset cider!
