The setting and the village itself are very attractive and everyone is very friendly. Many local walks including The Cleeve close to the lodge. Only things we felt were missing: a permanent side gate to ensure safety of children and pets in the back garden; a retractable clothes line in the back garden as there's nowhere to hang washing in good weather; a chair in the bedroom/s.

A very good place to start your travel to the many places worth visiting in this wonderful part of the Country. Highly recommended.

Only a few steps from the village pub and store. House is comfortable and well furnished, we were only 2 people staying, so plenty of room. Only issue was the small TV, with only basic freeview channels, no HDMI port or streaming options (owner said they would be looking to rectify this). Must go to the Natterjack pub, 20 minutes away, superb food.
