Accommodation ideal for two in peaceful location in lovely countryside and had everything we needed. Enjoyed local walks direct from the cottage and local amenities at Crewkerne just a 10 minute drive away. Enjoyed meal at the Crooked Swan in Crewkerne and great value fish and chips. Easy access to coast and several National Trust properties in easy reach (Killerton, Barrington House).
