The property was light and airy with very spacious, versatile accommodation. I was impressed with the post and rail paddocks, stabling and all weather ménage. I knew my pony would love it and couldn’t wait to have him living ‘on site’. Without delay we put in an offer and was delighted it was accepted.Upon moving in I soon realised there were 3 bird/nature reserves within a 3-mile radius. These are a great place to see nature at its finest within the wonderful Somerset landscape.
