  Wow! Fantastic accommodation, beautiful quiet location, and fabulous weather, we had the most brilliant week staying here.

  The Lodge has everything you could possibly need, and all top quality. Even better than the photographs, and it felt like home straight away. A much appreciated welcome pack on arrival (thank you). The guest folders were really easy to refer to. We did quite a few of the walks the owners had suggested, and walked to the Martlet Inn (dog friendly) for a lovely hearty lunch. The Lodge is a great base to explore the area, we went to Bossington and walked to Porlock for lunch at the Ship Inn. Lynmouth/Lynton, Wells, Glastonbury Tor, Dunster Castle (and village), Wellington Monument and Dunkery Beacon all definitely worth visiting, as well as so many other places to walk on the moors and Quantock Hills. Worth noting that the garden is a great size for dogs to run around in, although it isn’t totally dog proof, but the weather was so good that we were out and about most of the time, so didn’t spend a huge amount of time at the Lodge until the evenings. We loved watching the bats at dusk, and had a couple of stunning sunsets, a blood moon, and some clear starry skies … perfect viewing from the hot tub if you turn the outside lights off. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying at the Lodge, and we would definitely book again if returning to the area. One of the best holiday cottages we’ve stayed in.

  We enjoyed our stay at the Wagon house.

  The property is very rustic, with most of the basics. A few things which could be improved: The lack of shower was very disappointing especially as the base of the bath was damaged so bathing scratched your back. A small investment in a shower hose that’s fits to taps would make a huge difference and I know this was available in other properties. The cleanliness was fine at face value but then there were spiders everywhere, we found a used pair of boxers in the room we were using for our kids and when retrieving our sons toy cars on a regular basis it was clear that the furniture had not been cleaned under in a long time. The hessian rug in the lounge was extremely uncomfortable especially for young children who crawl round on the floor. Big positives though: The quiet outdoor space and the fact that you can BBQ outside the accommodation were great and made our stay really social. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the fresh eggs were fantastic. The stream on site made a great afternoon/morning activity for our son to play in and race his boats.

  We have just returned from a Friday to Friday booking in Court Lodge.

  The house is situated in a quiet and tranquil lane a little outside Wiveliscombe which has a small amount of amenities. The house is extremely well planned with plenty of ProCook kitchenware; the owners have thought of absolutely everything (and more!) that you may need. The hot tub is excellent and a lovely way to watch the bats flitting around at dusk. There were plenty of good quality towels and lovely linen supplied and when we arrived the house was absolutely spotless. We had taken our dog with us who is a roving Spaniel; the garden and driveway is secure enough that she wasn't able to escape (although I'm sure she could've done if she'd put her mind to it!). It isn't listed but there is also a BBQ to use which would've been lovely if the weather had been better. If you're looking for a very tranquil week with no disruptions in a 'high end hotel quality' cottage then I can't recommend this enough.

  Court lodge was a delight to stay in.

  The owner went out of his way before we arrived to help make our stay over Christmas perfect and gave us a warm welcome. The guest manual is detailed and very helpful. The views are simply stunning, the closeness to nature inspiring and the inside of the lodge is very comfortable with super bathrooms, and quality furnishings, the kitchen exceptionally well equipped. Watching the migrating birds at sunset from the hot tub, even in December, was memorable. The position is rural but didn’t feel isolated and the fairly short drive to the nearest shops a small price to pay for the tranquility of the lodge’s surroundings. A wonderful world away from the stresses of daily life. Thoroughly recommend.

  The Mill is a delightful and quaint cottage that provides a perfect and peaceful holiday.

  Set in the grounds of a working farm with chickens roaming freely and located in a quiet country lane surrounded by pleasant countryside. The only noise to be heard is the occasional steam train that runs close to the large grounds of the farm The property has been tastefully converted from a mill and still retains many original features. Inside the property the stream that used to power the mill provides a gentle relaxing sound as it runs close by. The Mill provides comfortable accommodation with a large kitchen and a quirky dining room with loads of character. There is plenty of outside space for sitting and relaxing within a most relaxing environment.
