Had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The views were lovely. The house was well supplied with everything we needed. The garden is totally enclosed so you can let your doggy out without worrying. The owners were quick to answer any queries we had and left us to ourselves, so felt very private. Really enjoyed our stay, peaceful and calm, with eveningRead mores sitting by the fire. Would highly recommend. Hide

Was a lovely cottage with nice views. Lovely and quiet and secure areas for the dogs to roam. The washing facilities were handy too. Bed was nice and comfy too! We didnt use the log burner as luckily weather was nice but it looked lovely! Id probably stay more coastal next time but we visited some lovely places approx 1 hours drive away! All in allRead more we had a lovely stay- thank you! Owners were also on hand if needed which was reassuring. Shower was nice too but water did overspray a little. Hide

We stayed in Coneybeares cottage. Coneybeares cottage and Barton cottage were essentially reconstructed 10 years ago. Pretty much like new still, so we had a very comfortable stay. Easy access to the village, and a great pub (merry monk Taunton) is only a couple of miles away.

Had a great week at the cottage with our 2 dogs. The owners were really nice and were close enough if we had any problems (which we didnt), but not intrusive. Lovely views across the country side and even got a bisit from the cows one morning as we had breakfast in the conservatory. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous tastefully decorated barn cottage on farm grounds. Comfy beds and sofas. Openplan layout both indoors and outdoors was ideal for our elderly frail and partially blind dog to navigate. Great selection of pubs within a few minutes drive also offering takeout menus as well as eat in. Very friendly helpful owners at the farm.

It was a delightful little cottage, set in the most idyllic setting, with views beyond compare. The inglenook fireplace with the log burner was enchanting, especially on a winters day and evening.
