If you don’t fancy cooking then there is a traditional pub opposite the property, The Swan Inn, which serves good local food and ales. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists with plenty of footpaths and pretty country lanes to explore, particularly around the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park. Not far from the cottage is the county town of Taunton which offers many bars and restaurants, along with a range of shops worth browsing.

Set in a central spot for everything we did during this holiday. Clean, comfy bed and also home from home. Thank you for having us this week. We will definitely be back .

It was slow and no pressure which was annoying if you wanted a quick wash and go. The living room door could also do with a blind as privacy is compromised. Good cottage but few changes needed to improve stay. Maybe suggest changing the bath taps to mixer shower if not a new power shower.
