Stayed for 3 weeks whilst between house moves, absolutely lovely. Great quiet location, stunning views, and a joy to watch Herbie in the paddock opposite enjoying his retirement from international eventing.
Cottage was all we could have asked for, well equipped, very comfortable and cosy.
Short drive to Wincanton or Gillingham for supermarket shopping, close to Longleat and National Trust properties.
Easy day trips to the Jurassic Coast.
Karen and Campbell were perfect hosts, and we made friends with their little dog Puzzle.
Would highly recommend a stay here.
