A comfortable house, with the bonus of 2 downstairs bedrooms. The garden is fully enclosed, and very safe for our 2 Golden Retrievers, although if you are taking dogs, be aware the carpets are cream, and so extra care needed after muddy walks to ensure the dogs are clean and dry. Some minor additions, such as side tables in the lounge, and coathookRead mores in the hall would be useful. The hot tub was clean and well maintained, and the owner was helpful and easily contacted.

We had a lovely week here. It's a nice, quiet house, which is comfortable, spacious and well laid out. The hot tub is a great addition. It's conveniently located for the coast as well as plenty of Somerset's key attractions. There is only parking for 2 to the rear of the property, but there is a space for a third car near the B & B, which was easy Read moreto access. Just a few minor points here and there meant we couldn't give it 5 stars, but these could be easily remedied by the owner. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Millbank Farm Birchwood. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hospitality shown was fantastic. The hot tub was maintained every day by the farm manager. A lovely quiet location. We will definitely look up this house when returning to that area again. Thank you again

Great location, plenty to do in surrounding area but very peaceful place to return to. Nice big open plan downstairs space and good flat garden, not overlooked. Hot tub well maintained and cleaned daily. Some minor changes such as somewhere to hang coats, provision of hand towels, some basic kitchen equipment would make it 5*

A great holiday home for a family get away! All generations enjoyed use of the spacious hot tub and garden, especially in the lovely weather we had. Everything you could need provided in the kitchen if you choose to eat in the cottage. Bedrooms spacious with comfortable beds and lovely big baths and showers. A great time away.
