Summary: Quirky and cosy vintage countryside accomodation in a beautiful and peaceful countryside setting. Each holiday home has a different character from each other. Our upside-down-house Withycombe Cottage was warm and comfortable, with beautiful views over the hills behind it, and the paddock with the owners' two friendly miniature Shetland Ponies grazing on it. We enjoyed a couple of evenings there on our stay, and the living room area was lovely, especially with the old fashioned lamps on. Very comfortable sofas, a large dining table, and a lovely little kitchen area which had everything in it that guests could need ; including a dishwasher, washing machine fridge freezer, and microwave. Lots of hot water, and working radiators throughout. Our double bed was very comfortable, and the room was a lovely size, too, and the 4 children loved their 2 small twin bedrooms and beds. The indoor heated swimming pool was clean and a huge hit with the children, as was the jacuzzi tub. It was very thoughtful of the owners to keep a collection of balls in the water for them to play with in the pool. Plenty of private changing room space inside the onsite building. It was very kind of them to say we would still be welcome to use the pool, and the other play facilities such as the big enclosed trampoline and seperate games room hut, after we'd checked out of the Cottage at 10am. We didn't as we had a long drive back home, but although the pool house isnt usually open each day till 9.30am Richard kindly opened it up for my husband and boys at 9am so they could have an hour in it before we left. (Just one suggestion....perhaps it could be opened daily from 8am or 8.30am for families on their final morning of their stay ?) The Games Room is a big asset to the site, with it's pool table, ping pong table and football table...all the balls, cues and bats included. And there is also a concrete tennis court, and a lovely large grassed paddock for children to kick the provided balls into a goal net, and lots of seating on the grassed areas, too. We saw the wooden adventure play structure, but our boys didn't use it. So, lots for children of ages to do before or after a day out, or for a morning or an afternoon relaxing on site ; even our two 16 years were kept entertained by these facilities. Great value. Highly reccomend, and would definately return if we holiday in Somerset again. A great online find, and a fab base for outtings to the beaches and Bays around Minehead, Glastonbury, and North Devon. Thankyou to owners Richard and Julie who live in a cottage onsite, and are reassuringly present during your stay.
