Location and house are beautiful
We stayed here with our family of 4 adults and two children (20 months & 7 years old). The location of the property is where we wanted to be and that was close by to relatives. The house is beautiful and of a good size, everything you need is right there its a home from home.

Fabulous Property
We stayed at 700 Westport as we were attending a wedding nearby. It is a beautiful cottage with an outstanding peaceful garden. Sandra and Peb are very generous hosts and were kind enough to take and pick us up from the wedding venue. Could not recommend this cottage highly enough. Thank you for having us xx
Lovely cottage and gardens, near the canal. Very clean and perfect for a relaxing weekend. Parking for 2 cars.
Sandra brought out a barbecue in case we wanted to enjoy a meal al fresco. Clear instruction for recycling our rubbish. Will definitely be returning next year.
On booking our stay at 700 Westport, I requested a xmas tree as a surprise for my kids. On seeing the managers home, I was totally blown away with how much care and attention went into making their home as festive and homely as possible for me and my kids.
The house is very welcoming, modern with that Somerset country feel to it. Attention to detail was superb in making our stay as if it were our own home. Needless to say that my kids and I loved it that much that I will be booking it again for next year.
Thank you for making our Xmas a very happy and memorable one.

The house is a lovely cottage in a delightful setting with a wonderful garden. It is well equipped and could just benefit from more indirect lighting in my opinion (but that is of course entirely a matter of taste).

About the host
Hosted by Host
700 Westport holds a special place in the history of English folk songs. For it was, for many years, the home of Louie Hooper, one of the inspirations of the folk songs revival movement of the early 20th century.
In 1903 Cecil Sharp, a music teacher and composer, had been staying with the vicar of the neighbouring village of Hambridge when he heard a gardener singing a traditional Somerset folk song, and was immediately captivated. He began to collect folk songs, hearing them sung by villagers who had learnt them by heart, making notes which eventually enabled him to publish five series of Folk Songs of Somerset between 1904 and 1907. He went on to become the acknowledged expert on folk songs, principally of Somerset but also from other parts of England and later from the USA.
Louie Hooper, with her sister Lucy White, were among the first to sing to Sharp when he first started song-collecting, and eventually sang him over 100 folk songs, all from memory. She had learnt many of her songs as a child while helping the older women of the village with glove- and shirt-making.
In 1941 the BBC came to visit Louie in her home, and recorded her songs.
