    “We had a lovely stay at Shells cottage.”

    Very well equipped, comfy beds and sofas perfect for our family birthday celebration and Halloween for the children. Sammy who came to service the hot tub was so friendly and helpful with local information she is a real asset to your business. We would definitely stay here again as in a good location close to Watchet, Dunster castle and Minehead. My husband and I are thinking of coming back in the very near future to stay in a smaller property as we ran out of time to see the local area. Thank ...

Thank you for a lovely stay to spend quality time as a family.
