Christine
We had a great time, the property is spacious but homely at the same time, well equipped and beautifully furnished. It is in a perfect location across the road from the beach and the starting point for the South West Coastal path. There are great walks in all directions and the heritage railway is just down the road. Our car stayed in its parking space for the entire 4 days. There is just one tiny improvement we would like, which is a slightly earlier arrival time, 5pm is quite late especially now when it gets dark quite early. However we made the most of our arrival day by visiting Dunster Castle which was lovely and a short distance away.
