Garden Cottage in stunning rural location but only 5 minutes from Taunton.

Architect's own stylish and spacious hideaway in glorious countryside with 7 acres of garden, meadow, woodlands and ponds to explore. The sittingroom has a log burner to keep you cosy in the winter months (as well as a full central heating system of course). The kitchen is open planned, small but well equipped. There are 2 bedrooms; the master bedroom has a double bed, lots of space and an ensuite bathroom whilst the family room has 2 double beds with a shower room just across the sittingroom. Outside there is a large deck opening onto the garden and there is plenty of parking space close to the property. Sorry, we can't accept pets.

Could not have wished for a better cottage to stay, in a location with grounds and views that invite you to wander and forget the world, yet in minutes there are all the amenities of a city. Perfect.

Found this lovely property on line and it’s a truly lovely place, it’s quite secluded but had easy access to Taunton, the gardens were really lovely and the place was very clean and comfy, I can recommend staying here, the only negative would be the lack of Netflix

Lovely Place to Relax
Very nice property to just relax and take in the wonderful scenery. A bit off the beaten track and narrow lanes to get there but it is great to get away from the rush and just chill.

Relaxing with wonderful views and walks
The property is well equipped although some sharp kitchen knives would help in the kitchen. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. Plenty of hot water and good heating.Great to sit in the garden or on the patio to look out over the garden and fields. Although out in the country it was very easy to get into Taunton to shop etc when needed. We stayed in March with lots of wind and rain and still enjoyed our stay. In the summer it will be wonderful if you want a quiet get away. Wifi signal is weak, the strongest signal being by the book shelves right of the fire place.

Rural Idyll Near Taunton
We found the Garden Cottage spacious, well-equipped and clean, together with being an ideal base for beautiful walks in the Somerset countryside. Equally, Taunton and Wellington are a few minutes drive away. The Half Moon pub in the village is a short walk away, with a delicious Sunday lunch available at a very reasonable price. We fully recommend this property to families and small groups.

We loved this place. It had comfortable beds, great family spaces and a beautiful garden with a view across fields. One of the best homes I've stayed in, I highly recommend it for a calming break with space for the kids to play outside. I really didn't want to leave...

Mixed feelings
House situated in lovely quiet location however property not cleaned properly to receive new guests; cobwebs, dust and dead flies left in many places. Although owner tried to be helpful there was insufficient and intermittent Wi-Fi which was not apparent from the advertised amenities plus oven difficult to operate and cooking utensils quite worn out.
