From our guest book:
'What a charming cottage - even more impressive than the pictures on the website....and we were simply fascinated by the well!'
'Fantastic cottage with everything we needed'
'Incredibly beautiful house that we absolutely loved! The interior design is excellent and totally compliments the stone floors and wooden doors etc...... The little birds in the garden are as friendly as the people in Castle Cary and the well is nothing short of genius! Its an absolutely brilliant place to stay - we loved it so much we'll definitely come again - but for the whole summer!'
'Fantastically situated to tour Somerset'
'Lovely cottage not nearly as tiny as I was expecting. Really nice welcoming touch - milk, tea and fresh flowers. '
'We have discovered the secret! After years of hacking down the A303 to Cornwall we now realise what a beautiful area we have missed, lovely towns and villages, friendly people and a gem of a cottage. We will return!'
Not big enough? Family coming too?:
A mile away we have two converted barns and a medieval bee house all available for holidays. Look at property 1710 on this site for further information about these. Together the properties can sleep 18 people - ideal for a family reunion or group holiday. We have our own website - email us for the address.
