"Spent the weekend here with friends for my birthday. Really lovely place, large and spacious...looks better than it did in the pictures. We loved the large kitchen and conservatory. It had all the amenities one would need. The property managers were very responsive via email and text. Our only let down was that the hot tub had broken down."

"This is an amazing property………Classic somerset cottage equipped with all modern conveniences. Super quiet (well a few tractors collecting the harvest!). We all slept very well.

Meryan House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Sherry/Cherri was so helpful and my early arrival was accommodated with coffee and toast (thankyou!). We were also given directions for a local walk. The whole place is wonderful decorated and interesting to walk around and spend time in the various communal rooms. Bedroom was spacious, great shower, good amenities and quiet. Breakfast was wonderful. Definitely would stay again."
