Company information

The guesthouse has been established since 2008. Your host, Hollie and Gregg, love welcoming guests and hearing about their travel adventures. Living in such a beautiful part of the UK brings us great joy, and we feel lucky to share this peaceful space with others. We are a family-run guesthouse, and we’re passionate about providing high-quality, traditional service. You may even spot our children playing in the paddock, which adds to the warm, family atmosphere. As a family, we enjoy good food, rugby, DIY projects, socializing, golf, working on our campervan, and beach days—always with ice cream! And yes, we really love eating!

Property information

What makes us special? Along with the paddock and a World War II pillbox, we provide a generous continental breakfast hamper, often enough to enjoy at lunch too. We also partner with Cricket Saint Thomas Golf Club, offering great value, scenic views, and even a cooked breakfast. Most importantly, we take pride in offering excellent, traditional service to ensure you feel welcome throughout your stay. All parking is free and on site. You have independent 24 hour access to your room, giving you the freedom to come and go as you please. Inside each room is free Wifi, a TV, kettle, refrigerator and a desk.

Neighbourhood information

A rural escape we are surrounded by countryside. There are a number of beautiful walks to enjoy and places to visit. We are also fortunate to be located within a few miles of the Somerset, Devon and Dorset boarder so a short drive will enable you to explore some of the best sites and attractions the West Country has to offer.
