  It is a nice little cottage and cosy.

  It was a shame that the fireplace and bread oven don't have some form of lighting, as the room was quite dark, even with the wall lights. The neighbours were very pleasant and the people in and around the village are very nice. There were one or two little issues. Although the owner had said that there was a problem with the plugs in the sink and basin, I found no problem with the sink, but when I put water into the basin in the bathroom and had pushed the plug down, I was constantly chasing the water down the plug hole, so you either had to keep the hot and cold tap running all the time you were washing, or fill the basin right up and wash before the water ran out. I felt this issue could have been solved by a new rubber ring on the plug, possibly. The shower seemed to be a bit stop start and luckily I was only washing my hair. it was almost like an air lock in the system. The back gate was getting more difficult to get in and out of, as it has either dropped or the latch doesn't fit properly. Make sure you take throws with you for the sofa and chair, whether you are taking dog/dogs or not, I am glad I took mine, as the sofa and chairs were a little marked in places as is the cushion on the window seat. More informative leaflets on places to go, walks, etc would be nice. The one telephone number missing in the welcome pack is the local Vets in case of emergency. Also an idea of where the nearest Supermarkets are would have been nice. Other than that, as I say it was nice and cosy and fairly quiet, but the lane was a little busy with traffic on occasions as it's the only access road to and from Kilve beach.

  Very disappointed and decided to leave 4 days into a 7 day stay.

  Expectations were high and after unpacking and the dogs enjoying the garden we spent time looking around the lodge. Cleanliness was a major disappointment. We needed to wash glasses, plates and work surfaces due to a later of grease on them. A frying pan found was worse. The mop for the kitchen was still outside next to the wheelie bin. The bathroom had a mouldy shower mat, radiator thick with grime and dust and shower rail rusty. The bathroom shelf was also of no use as not fitted correctly. Upon looking at the double bed the mattress was just open foam with a topper on it. Also woken up at 6am daily from dogs barking at the owners house. We were expecting peace and tranquility. Toaster didn't work properly and due to the remote location a larger fridge and a useable freezer would have helped. Several items of food left in cupboards which can be a bonus however use by dates of Dec 2021 and Aug 2022 wasn't something that should be in the cupboards. Garden was great for the dogs.

  The cottage was everything we expected.

  Previous reviews were accurate and helped us make the most of the cottage and prepare for the parking. The cottage is beautiful, dog freindly, and our dogs loved it. It has everything you need, is well designed and well kept. Ideal for a couple with maybe one child, the pub and shop is a few.minutes walk,.and in the summer heat, the cottage keeps a perfectly cool temperature. Perfect for sleeping. Everything you need to know is explained in the booklets and the beach is a nice walk away. Parking at the beach is a bit dodgy, make sure you pay at the first 2 machines you see, it's designed to catch you out and pay a fine, I read many reviews including an action fraud investigation. Only improvements would be a slightly bigger TV , I felt.like I went back to the 80s, but everything we needed and could want was there.

  It was a magical holiday for me, my Dad and the Beagle Brothers!

  Two 'Thank you' to Pam - 1. Thank you for letting us stay in Sunshine Lodge. It was a marvellous and peaceful stay... And, dog friendly in both gardens - fenced in! The Beagles can not escape! - Hurray! 2. The 'Welcome Pack' was lovely - al eaten by hoomans & Beagle Brothers! The flowers were delightful as well - more homely. A wonderful touch to an amazing vacation. The doggies loved it here - Stolford, nearly a mile to the beach. The first time on a beach for them - sniffing, playing, etc. The coastal path was lovely! Whether rain or shine, we all had to a wonderful stay! A place to explore! We went to Burham-on-Sea, Brean, Porlock, Lynton, Minehead, Watchet, Blue Anchor and Dunster Beach (The Beagle Brothers loved Dunster Beach & Brean - off the lead and having fun!)...

  My partner and I stayed here with our two dogs and 10 month old daughter.

  The single bedroom was just big enough to fit our daughters travel cot in (it is a rather large travel cot) and the double bedroom is lovely and spacious. The cottage is a short walk away from Kilve beach which was lovely for the dogs. The bath plug doesn't hold water in and it slowly seeps away. This wasn't too much of an issue for us as by the time the water had dissapeared we had bathed our daughter anyway. The shower was lovely, really good pressure and suited us just fine. There's an alcove in the lounge to the right of the fireplace and if your dog likes a safe space likes ours do then it's ideal! There is also a door at the bottom of the stairs to prevent dogs/ little ones from being able to go up which was fab for us. We had a really lovely stay.
