“What a wonderful, peaceful place!”

We had a great stay in this lovely apartment. Well equipped through the kitchen/diner, comfortable living room, spacious bathroom with large bath and into the cosy bedroom. A great base for visiting Exmoor, the Quantocks and the North Somerset coast. Wonderful

“Could do with more prominent signposting at the road entrance.”

Would have had difficulty finding it if not using satnav. Property itself spacious, comfortable and well-appointed.

The cottage even slightly bigger than we expected. It's an ideal base for days out visiting places in the locality. Would highly recommend it.

A quiet beautiful spot. Full of character and spacious. Loved being able to sit outside and enjoy the peace of the lovely garden. Thankyou! Could we suggest it would be helpful to have a tray provided!

“The cottage could use a few more cleaning materials, such as a scouring pad and some CIF.”

It was difficult to clean the cooker shelves and baking tray.

“Great holiday home tucked away in the rolling hills of the Quantocks.”

Very quiet and relaxing surroundings, and our hosts very accommodating. Many interesting and exciting places to visit within a short driving distance.

Paul July 2021

“Quiet and peaceful.”

Nice gardens to sit in especially in evening to relax. Apartment very spacious well equipped, would use again if in area. Nicely positioned to visit all the North Somerset coastline and Devon for that matter. As walkers, it is also a good area to explore on foot. The closest village Williston, has a good coop store also a Spar shop, fish and chips etc. Would call this a little gem.

“It was the perfect accommodation in a beautiful setting.”

The owners were very helpful and we would not hesitate in returning.

James May 2021

“The accommodation was larger than we expected.”

The hosts were very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The location was ideal for getting around and about seeing places we had not visited before. Had to drive although local villages and beaches were very close. We felt the roads were a bit too busy and fast to walk directly from the accommodation. Although there were plenty of cyclists who would say different

- James, May 2021
Graham May 2021

“Very comfortable and spacious accommodation with everything you could have required .”

Owners helpful. Plenty of walks and places to visit despite the weather Blue Anchor Bay walk to Minehead was delightful Dunster Castle a great day out as was your kick Weir

“This is a lovely apartment, very spacious and well furnished.”

The location is beautiful - very quiet, with a wonderful outlook over garden and trees to the hills beyond. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and even with the covid-19 restrictions, we had everything we could need for a comfortable weekend. There is excellent walking within a very short distance, on the coast, in the Quantocks and on Exmoor. An ideal retreat for these difficult times - we hope to visit again.(The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for comfort is that I think perhaps the radiators need bleeding - on two of our three nights they were pretty well cold, though as there was also a very good electric heater, this wasn't a serious problem. Please don't publish this bit!)

“Lovely location, lovely accommodation, altogether very restful relaxing holiday.”

- Penelope, September 2020
Wendy August 2020

“We had a very enjoyable stay at Fig Trees, Wibble Farm and we loved the Somerset scenery.”

The apartment was everything we expected, wonderfully spacious for two people and very peaceful. However, our stay was somewhat spoiled by the mattress being extremely soft and squidgy. This led to poor sleep quality as any movement was very uncomfortable and disturbing (we are not heavy people). One of us ended up sleeping on the sofa most nights, which was a huge disappointment. Fortunately the sofa was comfortable and we did not mention this to the owners as they would not have been able to correct the problem during our stay. Despite this we enjoyed our week and every other aspect of the apartment was good.

- Wendy, August 2020
Jackie August 2020

“Lovely spacious apartment with beautiful views.”

Very quiet and private. Perfect place to relax. The owners were very friendly and left a very nice bottle of wine in the apartment for us. One of the nicest places we have stayed.

- Jackie, August 2020
Kevin August 2020

“Accommodation as described and a very nice place to stay for the week.”

Lovely location and setting. Friendly owners.

- Kevin, August 2020
Denise July 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

Very clean and tidy with good facilities despite being advised that many things had been removed due to the Covid regulations. We especially enjoyed being able to sit on the little sun terrace for drinks and meals in the evening. The hosts are very friendly ( as are their delightful dogs!) Just be aware if going for a walking holiday ( which we did) that there are no walks accessible from the cottage unless you want to walk for substantial distances on a main road with no footpath! This is a good location providing you are happy to drive.

- Denise, July 2020
Sandra September 2019

“Lovely & homely, in a very quiet location but remaining close to places to visit.”

The owners were helpful & friendly & had provided all we needed for a relaxing week.

- Sandra, September 2019
Anna August 2019

“The location was an excellent touring base.”

So close the to unspoilt countryside and stunning sea views. The accommodation was spotless, really comfy and really well decorated. We had everything we needed and more. Milk was provided which was much appreciated as well as other helpful items such as dishwasher tablets, dishcloths and washing up liquid and soap. We enjoyed buying some plants on our departure from the nursery on site (which was very separate from our accommodation - you wouldn’t know it was there).

- Anna, August 2019
James July 2019

“Very pleasant accommodation in top of farmhouse.”

Good views of lovely garden. Owners very friendly. Some of the cooking utensils (oven trays) have been mistreated by previous occupants and should be replaced - but not a problem for us. Refrigerator is under-counter and a little on the small side, we were disappointed there were no ice-making facilities. These were relatively small problems and didn't detract from a very pleasant stay.

- James, July 2019
Susan June 2019

“Figs Trees was a brilliant base to explore the beautiful North Somerset Coast.”

Michelle and Kevin were welcoming and informative about the local area. We had a very enjoyable relaxing stay.

- Susan, June 2019
Mark September 2018

“Fig Trees at Wibble Farm is perfectly situated in the beautiful Quantock Hills in Somerset and has been one of the best U.”

K. holiday breaks we have ever had. The accommodation is superb, spotlessly clean and is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a comfortable and smooth running home from home. Michelle and Kevin Francis, the owners of Wibble Farm and the attached Nurseries are brilliant and always on hand to offer help and advice, should it be needed. This location is great to enable you to explore the immediate area ( and beyond ) and gave us the opportunity to relax and chill out for a few days in the tranquil and wonderful countryside. We will definitely be returning for another stay.

- Mark, September 2018
Joris August 2018

“We were warmly welcomed in the lovely cottage/appartment.”

It's very spacious, well equiped and really homely. At night it's really quiet; you don't hear a thing outside.

- Joris, August 2018
Janis September 2016

“The apartment was spacious & well equipped.”

The gardens & surrounding area were beautiful, the peace & quiet was lovely & we particularly liked visiting Watchet & Dunster Castle.

- Janis, September 2016
Roger September 2016

“Really peaceful location ideal for a walking or restful break.”

- Roger, September 2016
Peter August 2016

“The cottage was exactly as advertised in an excellent location between the Quantocks and Exmoor.”

Our hosts were very friendly and made our stay very comfortable, making some good recommendations (Bike rental and pubs) and helping us with our luggage on departure. The only thing lacking was a washing machine but this was made clear by the website anyway. Would definitely go again!

- Peter, August 2016
Barbara August 2016

“Much larger flat than we expected - more than enough space for 2 people.”

Helpful owners, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and great sized TV for watching the Olympics - along with a welcoming bottle of wine what more could we need for a great base from which to explore beautiful countryside. Only drawback for some of poor mobility would be the outside steps to the flat, but otherwise we would give a high recommendation of this property to anyone wanted a comfortable and peaceful base from which to have great days out on Exmoor, the Quantocks and the Somerset coast. Would very happily book this property for another holiday in the area.

“Clean, comfortable and well equipped property in a quiet countryside location.”

Reached by an external staircase, this first floor Somerset apartment is full of character, boasting exposed beams and pine doors and offering a cosy sitting area and a separate kitchen/diner, along with a comfortable double bedroom and a bathroom.

There are plenty of opportunities for walkers and garden lovers here, due to the Coleridge Way being close by, plus breathtaking views can be seen from the West Somerset Coast Path, and there many open gardens overlooking the sea with tea rooms serving delicious cream teas.
