    “We really enjoyed our stay at Flintstones and would be happy to stay there again.”

    Thank you so much Karen and Niall. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and modern with a well equipped kitchen. The lounge is spacious with a good size smart TV on which we were able to cast Youtube from our iPad. The immersion tank provided plenty of hot water and we never ran short. The bed was comfortable and supportive, we guessed it was memory foam. There was plenty of storage throughout including a full length drop for evening wear in the fitted wardrobe. The delightful garden ...

    Thank you so much Karen and Niall. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and modern with a well equipped kitchen. The lounge is spacious with a good size smart TV on which we were able to cast Youtube from our iPad. The immersion tank provided plenty of hot water and we never ran short. The bed was comfortable and supportive, we guessed it was memory foam. There was plenty of storage throughout including a full length drop for evening wear in the fitted wardrobe. The delightful garden surrounding the cottage is well managed with trees and multiple flower beds. A haven for bird life. The cottage has a sense of privacy as it is situated at the end of the owners own property, with its own front door. This was really appreciated. Centrally placed to visit many attractions in Devon, Somerset and Dorset. Nestled in a beautiful quiet Somerset village, who could ask for more. This cottage is well worth 5 stars and we have no hesitation in awarding them.
