About this property
5* Somerset, 1600's thatched, private annex. Pet friendly! 8m to M5 and Taunton.
The Forge annex (5* rated) is part of our beautiful 1600's listed, Somerset, thatched cottage and is totally self contained, offering privacy and relaxation.
With your own stable door overlooking the village, watch the world go by or enjoy our beautiful secure garden at the rear.
Pets very welcome! Well behaved owners too!
Private toilet and shower - fridge, kettle, coffee maker, toaster.
Sky and Netflix included.
Come and be another of our awesome guests!
The space
The lounge has a sofa bed which can be used for additional guests. Private Toilet and Shower.
Continental breakfast is included and cereal and bread will be provided along with milk, tea,coffee and preserves. Toaster, Fridge, Kettle and coffee maker.
Guests main bedroom is upstairs and has a comfy double with drawers, hanging rail, iron and board with large mirror.
Guest access
You have private access to the annex and small front patio area where you can sit and watch village life unfurl.
Also, we would love you to use our beautiful, enclosed rear garden to enjoy the sunshine and play with your dogs or just to sit and relax! There is a swing seat, table and chairs, as well as comfy seats.
Other things to note
The dont's....
We do not permit smoking or vaping on the premises and naked flames are not allowed due to insurance on our thatched roof....you can imagine...
Dogs are very welcome but they cannot be left alone in the annex as the building is listed and very chewable with all that 1600's wood.
But we do.....
I am happy to source groceries for you if you give me a list and can pay on arrival.
I am happy to pet sit for an additional charge of £10 per hour. I only charge as it ties me to the house and limits what I can get on with. The dog/s will not be left alone at anytime and will be walked and fed. We mainly offer this for guests who are attending weddings!
If you think of anything please ask.....
