He is so approachable and he always has time for you. You feel like you could tell him anything even if you had a personal problem."
Charlton Road is just 10 minute walk, with a lovely route through Collect Park if you wish, to Shepton Mallet town centre which has cafes, pubs, a library and various other amenities including a large Tesco, Boots and Argos. The famous Whitstone Fish and Chip restaurant and take away is just around the corner along with the local Coop shop with ATM.
