- Cathryn (8/5): We enjoyed a wonderful stay, thank you. - The location is absolutely fabulous - almost endless opportunities for walking in the close vicinity. Very peaceful. Tanya and Andy made us very welcome and provided blankets for the dogs so we didn't need to worry if they joined us on the sofa after a long walk - thank you!! The only thing I can think of was that the windows only opened a small amount (safety). However, it was warm overnight during our stay and we would have been more comfortable if the windows opened further. A fan was provided, but these are noisy during the night and not ideal from an environmental perspective.

- Elizabeth (10/5): Beautiful Country House with the best ever hosts, who could not do enough for you. 5 Stars!!!! - This was a gem of a property!!!!! I would rate it 5 Stars. The room was beautiful, very English country style with the most comfortable bed. The en-suite came with a bath which was a real pleasant surprise. The real treat were the hosts, Andy and Tanya, prior to my stay I had lots of communication with them. I was doing an ultra bike race so I was just going to get there, sleep a few hours and leave in the early hours. Andy and Tanya made me a cook to order breakfast when I arrived at 7.30pm and made me a takeaway ham sandwich with a few treats for my journey onwards, which I really needed as there’s not many shops open where my race route was taking me at that hour in the morning. The next time I return, it will be a more leisurely stay to really enjoy this quintessential Country House. N/A

- Marie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malcolm (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diane (10/5): Exceptional - Just spent two nights b&b over the bank holiday weekend. The hotel is located in the most peaceful place we have ever been too . The scenery is stunning, loads of walking possibilities. We walked up to Dunkery Beacon, two and a half miles uphill (wear walking boots) did not meet a sole, just some grazing sheep. Views were breath taking. Also went to Dunster Beach and walked to Minehead along the beach, again very peaceful and serene. Jane was a lovely host, nothing is too much to ask. Lovely box full of coffee tea and biscuits in our room. Cold water and milk in the guests fridge. Room clean and ample storage with views from window. Power shower, comfy bed, yummy breakfasts. Would definitely go again to explore more walks on Exmoor and the coast. X Nothing at all
