The cottage has real soul and character. We loved discovering all the historic and charming features. It is really picturesque. The garden is extensive. Aswell as the stream and pond there are views to the river, an orchard with orchids, bluebells and countless other wild flowers and it has beautifully landscaped and planted areas too. It is enclosed and safe for dogs. The location is peaceful and waking to the dawn chorus as the sun streamed in through the bedroom windows was a memorable start to each day. One of the gates opens into the open fields, where there are public footpaths. Overall perfect for dogs and their owners. After dark, minimal light pollution makes for excellent star gazing. We were lucky with the Bank Holiday weather and barbecued every day! There is outdoor furniture and garden games in the summer house. Dunster Castle is on the doorstep and for fossil hunting and the coastal footpath, nearby East Quantoxhead was well worth a visit. We also enjoyed the Sunday night quiz at The Britannia at Alcombe. There is a dog friendly local pub, The White Horse Inn, about five minutes walk down the road also. We had everything we could have hoped for including comfy beds, an AGA and conventional oven, well equipped kitchen and utility room. The billiard table provided great entertainment and there are lots of games and dvds..The cottage was much more spacious than we had anticipated.Jane, the manager, was very helpful and the chapel was clean and well prepared for us. Truly a privilege to have stayed here. Would highly recommend this property.
