    “A very good conversation.”

    It is small and the kitchen facilities are limited but were fine for my purposes. It is on the same property as the owners’ house but there is sufficient room to provide privacy. It is a good location for a exploring the Somerset Levels. My main issue was the vast no of midge like insects that managed to get into the Shed even if the windows and doors were closed. Probably got in through the vents. I was staying on my own, if my wife was with me, we would have left after a few days ...

    It is small and the kitchen facilities are limited but were fine for my purposes. It is on the same property as the owners’ house but there is sufficient room to provide privacy. It is a good location for a exploring the Somerset Levels. My main issue was the vast no of midge like insects that managed to get into the Shed even if the windows and doors were closed. Probably got in through the vents. I was staying on my own, if my wife was with me, we would have left after a few days. Apparently this is a May issue. Having said this, I would visit again.

    Thank you for your feedback and I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you'd like to return. Regrettably those little flies are a fact of life in our area at that time of year. It's a price we pay for living in such a rural area - thankfully they are harmless. We have invested in some new fly catchers which will hopefully do the trick for next time. Hopefully they weren't too disruptive and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Alex Property Owner
