The Old Flour Mill

Easy to find. Communication from the host was quick and easy. Easy, free parking. The host kindly left us milk and some sweet treats. Good hot shower and comfy bed. Not too far from Taunton and Yeovil. Quiet, rural apartment. Dishwasher and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed to make a hot meal. There was a heater too which was very quick to heat the room.

The lanes to the property are a bit tricky if you have a low profile car, ( like mine!) It was ok as long as you take it carefully and slow. Probably would have been more difficult had it been mid winter! Most Airbnb's we've stayed in usually have a little guide, a few pointers for walks/pubs/ instructions for appliances, interesting places to visit, nearest hospital etc... Which we usually find useful, but this is just a minor thing & the hosts had left a lovely welcome note and their mobile numbers. We did notice quite a strong damp odour too.

Great rural location and views of greenery from the seating areas. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious and exceptionally clean bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Extremely friendly cat!

There was some traffic noise from the A303 when sitting outside, but not at a disruptive level. Other than that, nothing else.

Gorgeous annex with everything we needed for our stay! Surrounded by beautiful fields and animals, we will definitely be recommending this to our friends and family and hopefully be returning ourselves!

Lovely Hosts, Very clean and well presented. Perfect for a long or short stay. Comfortable and very good facilities, well designed property. Loved the cookies. Thank you both.

Nothing. Excellent.

Absolute little Gem! We were instantly in love with the place.. the thought that has gone into this little mini palace is heartwarming. As were the owners ☺️ most welcome and kind. We really felt right at home.. little things like cookies and fresh milk in the fridge. The remote location feels like you’re in your own little paradise. We just loved it! As we did Ginge the cat who came to say hi often 😍 thank you for having us!

Everything was perfect 👌🏼

Diane and Brian made us feel so welcome. They made sure it was warm enough, and they brought in basic supplies, we did turn up an hour early which was my fault as thought check-in was earlier, they were happy to let us in. We came down that way for a break from city life, all you can see is the village a distance away, fields, trees, babbling brook, and they were happy to let us explore their land. Poor heaven for R&R. I can not fault the place and will happily be returning very soon. It did start to snow, which I got my car stuck in the driveway and ended up making a mess of their grass, they were more concerned that we were warn enough and not to worry about grass as it grows back. I did get out and back, no problem. I will say if you have a lowered car make sure you go as slowly as possible, the lane will be easier when it's drier, but don't let that make your decision to come or not, I made it in my lowered car. One thing, the bathroom door is a little squeaky, I didn't have a Wd40 with me. Normally, I have it in my car. Anyways, thank you, Diane and Brian, see you both soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Squeaky bathroom door.

Beautiful off the beaten track location nestling in fields but not isolated with good road connectivity to other places. Very well equipped kitchen, easy to prep meals, lovely big fridge freezer. Great place to unwind & chill away from everything, drinking a glass of wine on the little patio at the end of the day. Tastefully decorated and furnished to high standard. Hosts very welcoming but not intrusive & suggested places to eat. Pre stay comms good. Wifi worked well. Dyson tower bladeless fan heater was very effective on the one morning I used it to take off a slight chill, needing to run for very short time to make it lovely & cosy.

As a solo mature traveller would have preferred larger TV but the one provided was still of a reasonable size (not a tiny monitor type) with very clear picture & no reception issues during my stay so thats simply my personal preference. Basic instructions for using cooker etc would have been handy but wasnt too difficult to work out.

Lovely apartment as an annex to the main house in a very quiet, rural location. Fully equipped kitchen and sizeable bathroom. Short walk to the village and easy access to main roads.

Nothing.
