“Not been to Somerset before.”

It is a lovely part of the country. House met expectations and the owner was lovely. She lived on site and was willing to go the extra mile for you. A lovely lady.

Fantastic large home with beautiful garden in a great location and supplied everything we needed and more the owner was so helpful and friendly one of our best cottages
Mrs Knill April 2019

“Lovely rambling house perfect for family get togethers”
Mrs James March 2019

“Lovely warm comfortable old house in a pretty village setting.”

Plenty of room for everyone in this spacious house. Only slight disadvantage are the bathroom facilities as one is en suite and this left only 2 other toilets and showers ( although of course en suite shower available for all to use ) for 10 people. However, considering the age of the property this was a minor inconvenience! Lovely area with great walking opportunities. We enjoyed sitting around the big table in the cosy kitchen with the Rayburn keeping us warm. Would recommend the nearby Bicknoller Inn for good reasonably priced Pub Grub. Table Tennis in the barn added an extra dimension to our most enjoyable weekend.

Mrs Ingleton November 2018

“Gorgeous house, gorgeous setting!”

Maggie was a wonderful host, really helpful but also non intrusive. Kids loved the sheep and goat at the end of the garden!! Will definitely be coming back!

Good host very friendly brilliant house quiet location great facilities warm comfortable lots of character we really enjoyed our stay would recommend
Mrs Rodway October 2018

“We had a fantastic time in a fabulously cute "cottage" which was lovely and warm and there was plenty to do in the local area.”

The games room was a hit with the grandchildren, also the selection of board games and the piano of course - we could shut the door to the room too which was a bonus, there's only so many times you can eagerly listen to "chopsticks"! :). Maggie is an exceptionally lovely lady and was very eager to ensure that we were happy with everything which of course we were. A great place to stay and somewhere we would all be willing to go back to at any time ....................... Oh, and the Aga - loved it, only wish we had a kitchen big enough for one.................
Mr Williams August 2018

“The layout of the house was excellent for a large family as it gave the option for children to have one lounge and adults a separate space.”

The children loved being near the animals in the paddock and the games room was a bonus,the equipment could do with being up dated. The bedrooms worked out very well with families with conveniant access to bathrooms,the attic room a great favourite with the older children.It was a great spot with easy access to all local amenities.A1 OK.

Mr Dzwonnik March 2018

“This is my second stay with Maggie at Elmfield.”

She is the perfect host, friendly, helpful, relaxed. Elmfield is a gem of a characterful large warm comfortable house. Thanks Maggie.

“Lovely big old house”

We stayed here this weekend as a large family group getting together to celebrate a recent wedding held abroad. Lovely house, few wobbly doors and dodgy bits of plaster etc but it is over 300yrs old and just adds to the feel.. Sleeps 13, plenty of room for everyone, two huge lounges both with TV, huge kitchen with a rayburn and literally every appliance and utensil you could need. All the bedrooms were large and nicely decorated and furnished with lovely comfy beds. Plenty of parking, paddock at the rear with goats and a calf, which the kids adored visiting and feeding! Bit isolated, nothing in walking distance really, but means nobody to disturb or be disturbed by you, gets pitch black at night, no street lights, the night sky was amazing. The owner lives at the rear and was a lovely lady, very friendly and helpful. Only five mins drive to Williton where there are shops n pubs, etc. Ten mins to Watchet, twenty mins to Minehead where there are big supermarkets etc. We all had a great weekend here and fully intend to come back here and all do it again in the future.
