The house was perfectly located, quiet in the countryside but close to major roads. Its location allowed us to easily explore the Somerset region. The house was very pleasant to live in: the decoration is well thought out and tasteful. It was perfectly suited to our family of five. We also enjoyed the well-equipped outdoor spaces, which allowed us to watch a sunset from the sun deck. -
We had a great time at Nishas home. It was lovely to be able to stay in their barn which had all the amenities we could have wanted. The garden was huge and our daughter managed to find a swing. It was lovely waking up to the beautiful view. We only live an hour away so it made a great place for a weekend break. We visited Exmouth beach, a local national trust house and had a walk around their village to a coffee shop Nisha kindly recommended to us. Communication was great before and during our exchange with a video call and various emails and whats apps. -
Had the most lovely stay at Nisha’s home! It is wonderfully decorated and really homely, we loved spending our evenings there! Plenty of room for a getaway with family and the house has everything you need! Nisha was really easy to communicate with and gave us lots of recommendations for local spots to eat etc! Hope to come back again soon! X

August - open to anywhere in the U.K. Get in touch, we will happily take a look.
Hi we are a family of 3 who love going on adventures whether thats close to home or aboard. We live out in the countryside so enjoy getting to experience things very different to us. As a couple me and my husband have backpacked around Asia & Africa and now we want to start experiencing the world as a young family. Our daughter is super adventurous and we can't wait to see her thrive on her travels.
We are home owners so are very respectful to others properties as if it were our own. We can't wait to start seeing more of the world!
We have a little dog who will come with us when we can or will stay at the grandparents when we are not home.
