My daughter and I had a hugely enjoyable week's stay at Minstrels. The hosts were charming and always ready to help. On arrival we found a well-stocked refrigerator (local and home-made produce), a bottle or wine and home-baked bread. The perfect place if you're looking for a place in Somerset to relax in beautiful surroundings. The wood-burning stove was a great bonus on chilly evenings....

Mrs Court September 2025
Fabulous property with the 'WOW' factor immediately on entry. Everything of such good quality with each room tastefully decorated and furnished and spotlessly clean. Having a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and both a downstairs shower room and upstairs bathroom was a real plus, as was the private patio area where we could relax in the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. We were delighted with the generous locally-sourced welcome pack on arrival and the birthday card and gift. Many thanks Linda & Jon for going above and beyond with all the very thoughtful extra touches which make a stay even more enjoyable and memorable. We look forward to returning when we next have the opportunity and have no hesitation in recommending you and your top quality property to others. ...
