Reviews of The Thatch

"Really enjoyed the accommodation - the owners live next door. They were very welcoming, but left us alone, which was lovely. We would definitely stay again."

"The location & the tasteful preservation of the cottage that the owners must be very proud of it was a pleasure to stay there & visit the area of Somerset. The cottage was very clean/comfortable with welcoming tea/coffee making facilities on arrival. Brilliant break for late in the season. Highly recommended."

"I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends. It is such a beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings. Our stay was most relaxing and our dog enjoyed herself too. The location of the cottage was handy for travelling all over Somerset and for the local pub, just a couple of minutes walk up the road."

"We had a completely relaxing stay at the Thatch. The cottage as well as it's surroundings is beautiful. A modern bathroom and kitchen added to a country style living room gave us both all the modern amenities we needed but still retained it's country origins. The local pub being less than five minutes away from the cottage was a bonus, especially as it did really good food also. The garden, which was ours exclusively, was beautiful and it was lovely to sit outside in the sun after we had gotten back from our travels around Somerset. I would highly recommend the Thatch to all my friends and family."
