We're delighted to receive yet another wonderful review:

"Set just outside Ilminster, Scrumpy cottage is a little gem. The charm of the cottage has been bought back to life having been beautifully restored by the owners. Good location for visiting both Somerset and surrounding counties.

Another brilliant stay with Clare and Ed, beautiful cottage, good location and a warm welcome as always."
