The Chalet Somerset was completed in 2013 and is constructed from Douglas Fir. It is a beautiful one bedroom hi spec fully equipped self catering apartment with separate lounge/kitchen and bathroom.

There is a picturesque floor to ceiling gable end window and also a raised decking area for you to enjoy al fresco dining or simply sit and admire the wonderful views.

Fantastic place to stay
Lovely place, the property and area are lovely, there is 360 degree views from the loft apartment. everything you need is a short drive away. Rachel our host is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend staying here if you are wanting to stay in the area.

A nice getaway
Lovely location and local amenities, furniture very comfy and kitchen fully stocked. A little surprised at the close proximity to the main house and kids play area as we were expecting something a bit more private, but wasn’t a huge deal for us as the owners happened to be away on holiday. Overall we had a nice time in this clean and stylish cabin

Wonderful Stay
We visited for a week during our 50th Wedding Anniversary trip, in April. Absolutely delightful - both the chalet and its setting, and our host's family.

Idyllic Self Catering Retreat In The Lush Somerset Countryside - sums it up 100%
Wonderful and peaceful location. Miles away from city noise but easy access to Taunton when you need it. Also Exmoor, South Coast, Bath are only a short drive away. Everything was as described and Rachel and Simon were warm and welcoming. We'd reccomend the Chalet to anyone looking for a few days quiet break.

A delightful Pied a terre, not in the city but just outside Taunton in a lovely rural setting.
We were in Taunton for business but don't like staying in town. Fortunately found this delightful loft apartment in the lovely Somerset countryside but very close by to Taunton. It was perfect for our needs. Clean throughout and comfortable bed. Our host were on hand but unobtrusive. The fresh eggs each morning were a real treat. We would happily recommend staying here for a quiet time away. We dined at the Worlds End which was a nice setting but mediocre food. We also tried the Blagdon Arms, I think it was called. Great ales here and pleasant food. I think we will be returning in the future. Many thanks to our hosts.

Magica location nella verde cornovaglia
Una casetta fantastica in mezzo alla verde campagna. Perfetta per due persone, c'è tutto quello che serve: dalla cucina, al tavolo, al divano per finire con un letto affacciato su una bellissima vetrata! Possibilità di prendere le uova fresche direttamente dal pollaio :-) Peccato esserci stati solo una settimana. I proprietari sono stati molto gentili
