| 'Summer is acome unto
day' |
|
Summer is upon us and the Whitsun half-term
is just three weeks away. Already the banks of yellow
daffodils are gone, replaced by lagoons of bluebells,
stichwort and campion. |

Come to the West Country now for the
best of this marvellous changing scene. Walk the footpaths
and picnic in the fields. We offer short breaks in
most of our properties until the end of May as well
as complete weeks. All the properties are known to
us personally and we’ll give you our frank and
honest opinions about them to help you find the right
one for you.
We have a huge variety of properties for you to choose
from. Here are a selection...
