    “Fantastic location, really quiet, but only a couple of minutes from the A39 and 10 mins to Minehead. Friendly hosts. Comfortable apartment, really well fitted out and excellent decor. Would definitely come again, if available when next in the area.”

    “If you like peace & quiet set in tranquil rural Somerset then this is an absolute must. Residing next to a beautiful picturesque stream & ford is a must see. The property reminds me of rural France & Italy. The Pack Horse is in a perfect location...”
