The two cottages combine the traditional with every modern convenience. Converted from cow byres in 2007, both dwellings are spacious and beautifully light and airy, with private south facing natural-stone patio areas with table and seats allowing you to soak up the Somerset sunshine.

Cider Apple cottage sleeps 4/5 and Cherry Plum cottage sleeps 2. A welcome package of local produce will be waiting to greet every visitor.

Indoors, both cottages are furnished and equipped to luxury standard, with underfloor heating beneath the natural-stone floors that keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, and a cosy woodburner as well as all the kitchen and entertainment appliances you’d expect in a comfortable modern home.

There is ample parking at the cottages and you can store your holiday goods, be they bikes, golf clubs, fishing rods or whatever, in the large secure storeroom adjoining the cottages. There, you'll also find a portable barbecue and a sun umbrella for each cottage to help you make the most of your patio.

A fold-up Jay-be bed, travel cot, high-chair and baby bath are available on request. There is a small charge for the Jay-be bed to cover laundry costs.

"We both loved the accommodation and would be keen to return some time.....so well done with nice little touches plus a warm welcome from Penny. Hope all those who follow enjoy the place as much as we have.

Although we haven't come far to get here, we have felt a real sense of change with the levels on the doorstep - a unique landscape."
