It would be wrong not to acknowledge Mill Meadow Luxury Eco Homes where we stayed for this three day amazing break.
Situated in Kingston St Mary, ten minutes from Taunton, and at the foot of the Quantock Hills, Mill Meadow offer a brilliant alternative holiday break solution. All the lodges are made from Finish pine & spruce and are of contempory design. With a select eight lodges on the site you feel like you have totally escaped and you rarely see anyone else during your visit. Our Woodpecker lodge had a fantastic sauna & hot tub included. During the evenings we heard the local Tawny Owl calling from the nearby trees.
The team that run the complex are really friendly and do everything they can to make you feel welcome. On our arrival we had essentials left in the fridge & gorgeous home made flapjacks that went down perfectly with a cup of tea. On Sunday afternoon the team also left an extra gift which was very much appreciated.
On Sunday morning, Mrs D & I followed one of the recommended walks in the helpful folder that took us around the village and through the local fields where we recorded 34 species with the highlights being a family of Mistle Thrushes, Kestrel, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Blackcap & Chiffchaff.
The local pub, The Swan, is highly recommended and is very much a real british pub & great evening atmosphere. The pub is very popular with local cricketers and England wicket keeper Josh Butler is a regular.
So if you do fancy a break with a difference then why not look the team up. 30 minutes to Steart and 40 minutes to RSPB Bowling Green Marsh, it's an ideal location.
