  • "Excellent cottage, very clean, comfy and all the mod cons."

    Great location, just off the M5, quiet and peaceful. Handy for Cheddar, Glastonbury and the coast and not too far to go to visit Devon or even Cornwall. Our dog, Ted, enjoyed it too, with a great big field right in front to run around in. We really loved it and would highly recommend. Hosts were wonderful too. 5 stars.

    Perfect for us. We had to remove a skiddy mat which was clearly a danger on the slippy floor and the bin bags were a poor fit in the cheapo bin but that was all that bothered us. Our little terrier had problems walking on the sharp gravel and hurt her paws a few times.

    But some of the kitchen utensils need upgrading. The bottle opener for example is difficult to use. Wish I had packed my Swiss Army pen knife! It is a cheaply made item. Of more importance.... The bottom sheet on the bed on our stay was worn, uncomfortable and long overdue for replacement with a new one. Considering the premium price charged I think you need to up your game ..

    It was clean comfortable and had everything we needed, The property is close to Cheddar, which is a place we love so we went there one day. Also there is a pub within walking distance which was very handy. I would have preferred a walk in shower rather than a shower over a bath, but that is just me. Some people would be happy with a bath.

    Very peaceful and whilst there are three cottages on the site you felt like you were the only ones there, with a very private feel to them. Tastefully decorated with everything you require for a short stay. A very cosy cottage. Whilst we never met the owners Andy and Ruth in person they were exceptionally helpful in terms of keys and my questions about pets. If you are thinking about staying here do, I doubt you will regret it.
