The Snug is exactly that. We suggest this property is best suited to guests wanting a base from where to explore this wonderful part of the world. The entrance door open directly into the downstairs living room, with wood-burner, comfortable sofa, TV and tea/coffee making facilities (there are no cooking facilities so this cottage is best suited to guests who are looking to eat out). The stairs lead up to the first floor, please note that this is an old cottage, so the stairs are fairly steep and curving, there is a hand rail on one side. Upstairs the double bedroom and shower room are located, and lovely views towards the moor can be enjoyed.

Dogs
Strictly maximum of one well trained, small sized (e.g. spaniel) dog is welcome, but please keep dogs off the furniture, downstairs, and do not leave them unattended at any time. A supplement of £30 is payable for a dog. Although The Snug has no garden, there are grass areas and footpaths right outside the front door.

Indoor Description
There is no kitchen or cooking facilities in The Snug; tea and coffee making facilities are provided and a mini-fridge enabling you to make hot drinks. As there are no cooking facilities, The Snug is ideal for those looking to take advantage of the many local pubs and restaurants.

Heating, electricity and wifi is included. The property benefits from central heating throughout, which can be adjusted to suit your preferences. There is also a wood-burning stove in the sitting room, logs can be purchased nearby.

Bed linen and towels are provided. Please bring your own towels if you wish to take towels with your on day-trips away from the cottage.

A hairdryer is provided for your convenience.


Outdoor Description
There is no garden with the property but you are literally just a few yards away from the start of some beautiful walks and outdoor spaces such as the River Avill valley, the pretty church yard to St Petrock's and the village playing field.

The Lion Inn is just a very short walk in the centre of the village. The Lion doesn't currently serve meals, but there are village pubs with restaurants in both Dunster (3 miles) and Wheddon Cross (4 miles).

The owners live next door so will be available to offer advice and answer any questions if required.
