We have traveled a great deal in the west country, and I am delighted to say that this is one of the loveliest and most comfortable places we have ever stayed. It’s a beautiful building, with comfortable furnishings, plenty of space for two, and a very thoughtful arrangement of comfy seating so that the Garden Room feels even larger than it is. The kitchen provided everything we needed for meals at home, and preparing picnics.
Vivienne and Andy are fine hosts, and welcomed us like old friends. They have a beautiful garden full of trees, flowers and butterflies, and the property offers a spacious, private outdoor space with a table and chairs. There's also a comfortable covered side porch. While we spent our days traveling, we enjoyed the Garden Room so much that we were content to spend our evenings at home, taking a leisurely walk, and enjoying the beauty of the place. Stay up late and check out the stars on a clear night. It's worth it.
The location is rural and peaceful, and just a short drive from so many good walks and beautiful towns and villages. Wells, Frome, Glastonbury, the Mendips, and even the Dorset coast are all within easy reach.
You'll find a drawer full of maps and brochures, and a helpful binder of information. When we chatted with Vivienne and Andy, they offered a wealth of additional local knowledge.
We loved our visit, and our hosts were delightful. We would love to return.
