The Old Dairy Annexe provides spacious and comfortable accommodation in a courtyard setting. The welcoming and genial owners keep both the interior and exterior of the Annexe spotlessly clean and well maintained. Ilminster is just a short drive away as is Chard, there are plenty to places to visit and explore in the area and it does not take long to drive to the coast, so it is well located. If you are up for it, Ilminster can be reached by foot along the old railway line from Donyatt Halt. The nearby pub "The George" serves excellent food and is an absolute bonus. Highly recommended. ##### Tim This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael Sherratt-Smith 7 Aug 2025 #### The Old Dairy Annexe is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and well equipped.
