Great little loft near Tauton

We needed a place to stay near Taunton at the last minute due to a family member being admitted to hospital while we were vacationing in the area. We don't like staying in towns, so this was the perfect option, and luckily it was available for a same-day checkin. Rachael was extremely helpful and remained flexible since we really didn't know how long we would be around. The loft was spotless and perfect for the two of us. Just 10 minutes into Taunton and the hospital, yet out in the country. The kitchenette is great for cooking simple meals or microwaving ready-meals. Having fresh eggs in the morning is just a bonus. We even had one that was just seconds out of a chicken--probably the freshest egg you can get! It is a loft, so there are a couple of places where you might bump your head if you're not careful, but it doesn't seem cramped at all, even with the absurd amount of luggage we had. For those of you that can't be disconnected from the reast of the world: Although there is no Wifi (and this is clear in the description!), the cellular connection is great in the area (4G/LTE), so if you have a smartphone you won't be disappointed. The only minor suggestion I would make is to improve the lighting around the stairs so that getting into the loft at night is a little easier (or, you can just use your smartphone's flashlight feature!). Not a big deal, and this isn't the right place for you if stairs are a problem anyway, since it is a loft, after all!

A nice getaway

Lovely location and local amenities, furniture very comfy and kitchen fully stocked. A little surprised at the close proximity to the main house and kids play area as we were expecting something a bit more private, but wasn’t a huge deal for us as the owners happened to be away on holiday. Overall we had a nice time in this clean and stylish cabin

Thanks Jordan for your feedback and we hope you had a good anniversary. We don’t hide the fact where the property is in relation to our house and it is on several of the photos in our advert for the property. Guests have a private garden and bbq area in our orchard which they can also use along with the balcony for al fresco dining. We hope that you will come back and stay again at some stage in the future, warm regards.

Wonderful Stay

We visited for a week during our 50th Wedding Anniversary trip, in April. Absolutely delightful - both the chalet and its setting, and our host's family.

Magica location nella verde cornovaglia

Una casetta fantastica in mezzo alla verde campagna. Perfetta per due persone, c'è tutto quello che serve: dalla cucina, al tavolo, al divano per finire con un letto affacciato su una bellissima vetrata! Possibilità di prendere le uova fresche direttamente dal pollaio :-) Peccato esserci stati solo una settimana. I proprietari sono stati molto gentili

Idyllic Self Catering Retreat In The Lush Somerset Countryside - sums it up 100%

Wonderful and peaceful location. Miles away from city noise but easy access to Taunton when you need it. Also Exmoor, South Coast, Bath are only a short drive away. Everything was as described and Rachel and Simon were warm and welcoming. We'd reccomend the Chalet to anyone looking for a few days quiet break.

A delightful Pied a terre, not in the city but just outside Taunton in a lovely rural setting.

We were in Taunton for business but don't like staying in town. Fortunately found this delightful loft apartment in the lovely Somerset countryside but very close by to Taunton. It was perfect for our needs. Clean throughout and comfortable bed. Our host were on hand but unobtrusive. The fresh eggs each morning were a real treat. We would happily recommend staying here for a quiet time away. We dined at the Worlds End which was a nice setting but mediocre food. We also tried the Blagdon Arms, I think it was called. Great ales here and pleasant food. I think we will be returning in the future. Many thanks to our hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel and Simon Jones

Host profile image

The Jones, would love to welcome you to the Chalet Somerset. We relocated down to Daws Green from Surrey back in 2005 and have never looked back since. We are situated in beautiful countryside with 360 degree uninterrupted panoramic views. We have 18 hens, 1 cockerel and a Golden Doodle dog who are all an integral part of our family!

What makes this property unique

The Chalet has 360 panoramic uninterrupted views of the countryside and farmland. There is a Decking Area for Al Fresco Dining and a Floor to Ceiling Gable End window to indulge yourself in the scenery. We would encourage you to walk down to the orchard in the morning and collect freshly laid eggs from the chickens for your breakfast.
