Summary: We much enjoyed our week at Somers Hiscott which is a large and very comfortable house set deep in the woods. It is very well equipped, especially the kitchen which has every appliance and cooking and eating utensil one could wish for. The very large main TV and others throughout the house were a boon for our sports fans for the Euros and Wimbledon when the weather was rather poor for much of our time. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming with lovely flowers in the hall, bubbly in the wine fridge and even a bag of doggy treats for our Collie, and always available to help if needed. The only downside is the remoteness with 30-40 minute drives down narrow lanes to get to the coast, shops and the better pubs, but we would highly recommend it for large family or friends groups.
