This B&B was absolutely amazing! From the huge, beautiful, clean room with super comfy beds to the amazing dining room which we were served delicious breakfast by the very friendly owners. It has perfect location, close to the Jurassic Coast and near to many touristic places and views, I would recommend this place to everyone! Thank you Mery and Mike.

If bland and boring is your style, stay away. This place has loads of character, as do the mildly arty/bohemian couple who run it. We were still at the breakfast table at 10 am every morning, discussing South Africa before and after apartheid, the Middle East etc with other guests and our hosts. The building is a very old farmhouse, and the breakfast room is all old oak furniture, with a painted fabric picture that looks like a tapestry. Outside is a lovely garden (which you can sit in), with a slightly unkempt wild meadow feel, and the ancient farmhouse as backdrop. The farm (not a working farm) is in a quiet location, off a side road just outside the small town of Crewkerne. We stayed eight nights, and found plenty to keep us busy, visiting all the National Trust and other gardens in south Somerset, and also the Dorset coast from Lyme Regis to Abbotsbury. One day we went as far as Wells (loved the cathedral and Bishops' Palace). We are two ladies, friends not a couple, and we were most pleased with our very large room under the roof of a barn-like structure across the yard from the farmhouse. We had one large and one single bed, with a partition between them. The beds were very comfortable, and the sheets were changed half-way through our stay. The shower packed a punch, much more powerful than its rather old-fashioned appearance. There was a microwave and sink for washing-up cups and plates, so some days we were able to economise with supermarket ready-meals. The nearest restaurant was within easy walking distance just across the road. The food was good, although not very varied. Our breakfast at the farmhouse was excellent, with a good choice of cooked dishes.
