Lovely, well equipped and spacious accommodation. Great location, just a 10 minute drive from Wells Cathedral and even closer to Wookey Hole. We were only there for 3 nights but would definitely look at coming back next year for a longer stay.

This was a great space for a multigenerational family holiday. There was lots of space indoors for the children which was especially helpful as the weather was inclement. The garden area , which needs supervision because of the stream, was wonderful for them too. There is a very nice patio area.

We had a lovely time, there were 12 of us but we never felt as if we were crowded as there was so much space. The layout is lovely and the two dining rooms and sitting rooms were great as we had 4 young children who love making a mess crafting and baking etc. I would definitely recommend the property.
