• "Comfy cottage."

  Everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Loved the welcome goodies. Very dog friendly. We didn't need the dog blankets as we brng our own but this was a nice touch. Lots of great walks from the village or a short distance away. Hannah More Park is small but very handy for morning or evenng dog comfort walks. Most places in village dog friendly. Recommend Bath Arms for meals out. Tasty late season strawberries from the Farm shops nearby (also recommended for other fruit and veg). We would return!

  Thank you so much for your detailed and welcome helpful information for others.So glad you enjoyed your stay and welcome.We look forward to your return, safe travels x Caroline Property Owner

• "On arrival the accomadation looked very clean."

  On closer inspection though there was dust on some of the skirting boards and the radiators were thick with dust.As for the facilities we did like the wash basin in the bedroom,but could have done with a towel rail in the bathroom.The toilet door was warped,it fitted at the bottom,but there was a big gap at the top.We did like the kitchen,and the eye level oven.The day before we left I looked in the bin in the toilet,and noticed it had not been emptied,(there were ladies requirements in there),.The location was excellent though.I am sorryto be critical,but this is what we found.

  I am sorry this was your experience, I would have been happy to send someone in to clean again during your stay, had you let me know . I will raise your observations with the cleaning team. We take feedback very seriously, this is not our usual standard. I"m glad you liked the property and hope enjoyed the welcome pack and area. Happy travels , many thanks Caroline Property Owner

• "The bungalow is lovely & in a great location."

  The yummy treats & starter essentials were much enjoyed & appreciated. The plumbing needs a bit of attention, bath water starts hot, shower lever tests your muscles & shower head needs centralising, but advised that was being looked at after my stay. I forgot to mention the back outside light doesn’t work & the front one is a bit dim. Also, being on my own, a blind/curtain at the kitchen window would have been nice for when coming out of the bathroom & the bedroom curtains are lovely but cover the radiator. If the parking area wall could be taken back a bit more, I’m sure it would benefit everyone but I’m sure you’ve looked at that already. Please do not take these comments as complaints, rather as constructive comments. Overall, a lovely relaxing stay, managed a lovely comfy sleep when I could switch off from a stressful house purchase & me & my dog enjoyed chasing each other around the garden. Thank you.

  Thank you for your welcome feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay overall and the welcome. Our work to replace the shower enclosure and shower control which had become stiff is now complete Property Owner

  The gorge is amazing. The garden was safe and secure for our dog. The car parking space was fine although perhaps the border rockery could be cleared a little to make it easier to see how close you can park to it, to minimise how much car juts out. The beds, shower and sofas were excellent. We re-tuned the freeview on the main tv and found another 50 odd channels from where it was. The local treats left by the excellent host, Caroline, were superb and much appreciated. Overall, a fantastic stay and cottage to be thoroughly recommended.

• "Cottage was in an ideal spot."

  Excellent value. If I was to change anything, I would have parking in the front garden, like the nice next door neighbour.. The bathroom sink was too small, although we understood it was to help anyone in a wheel chair. Needs a new shower, I had to leave water running & get my husband to turn it off. Thank you for the chance to stay in your lovely bungalow.

  Thank you for your kind comments, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes , I agree, the bathroom sink is small , we hope we try to compensate for that, by providing a large one in the main bedroom. We will of course take a look at the shower control mechanism. It is a difficult balance, parking ,- it is a very quiet cul de sac ( we own the road with our 2 neighbours only having access to their properties)- this is why they have had to make parking spaces in their front gardens. In preference, we have tried to provide a private and secure wrap around garden for dogs and guests use, with the parking opposite.

  The windows and doors really need attention even to the extent that we had to complain that we could not make the house secure.

Generally whilst Cheddar was superb and the welcome pack was amazing this property really does need to be updated before further lettings and could also be made superb. One seat on the sofa had been repaired previously with duck-tape and since there were four of us I opted to sit there until my back prevented me and had to use a chair for the rest of the holiday.

  Very dog friendly. Scout and Bertie especially loved exploring the garden. the welcome treats of cheese, cider, milk, butter and juice were very welcome and the home made cheese scones were delicious! The property is very well positioned and everything is just a short walk away. Great walks nearby. Recommend the Gorge walk, the Strawberry line and the easier and shorter walk around the reservoir. Easy access to lovely places such as Wells, Glastonbury and Bath (the Bath Skyline walk was great.) Friendly and helpful neighbours. Lots of anti bac and cleaning materials (We are health and social care profs so brought our own but good to know there was a range of other supplies available). One minor maintenance issue was sorted out promptly and efficiently (and did not spoil our stay in any way). Lamora felt like 'home from home.'

  The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and very thoughtful. We have already booked another week in December at Lamora. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. I would certainly recommend this Bungalow for a Holiday. The Bungalow is situated within a 5 min walk of the village and it had many shops of interest.

• "Lamora is ideally situated for visiting Cheddar and the surrounding area."

  It is located just off one of the main streets in Cheddar within easy walking distance of many restaurants and pubs. The property is spacious and the beds comfortable and there are a good range of facilities provided. The property was generally very clean and well kept. There were some lovely touches, milk, butter, cheese and cider in the fridge and homemade mince pies and scones provided. In terms of opportunities for improvement, some attention could be paid to the decor/furniture; the bungalow appears to have been a retirement home/elderly person's house and some of the furniture and ornaments reflect that. Some small things that form a first impression, such as the door handle on the front door being loose (several screws are loose) and the hook for holding the bathroom door closed is broken detract slightly.

  So warm, cosy and comfortable and full of homely little touches. A lovely selection of local produce was waiting when we arrived, late evening and very tired. Extremely welcome and meant we could instantly make a cuppa before we even unpacked the car. Our dogs were made welcome too, which we really appreciated. We were able to really relax and explore the area and really enjoyed our week - just what we needed! Thank you.

  It had everything you need to feel instantly at home. It has been very well thought out for less able people and for dogs so that families of all ages can come on holiday together. The owner goes above and beyond in the additional goodies she provides - food and drink for humans, bowls, poo bags, toys, treats for dogs and fresh flowers in every room. She even thought to put the outside light on in advance of our arrival so that we could see when arriving after dark.

  The cottage is well equipped, well presented, clean and comfortable. Caroline also kindly left some milk and other provisions/treats to get us started - this was very much appreciated by us all. The cottage is located in a quite cul-de-sac and if you are lucky enough to meet the neighbours, they are also wonderful. Thank you for a great holiday. We would love to come back another time.

  Bed linen and towels were immaculate. It was let down by the uncomfortable seats in the lounge and the smell of dogs. We also had problems with the cooker, the main oven wouldn't work and we had to struggle with the top oven. This property could be lovely but needs updating.

  Thank you for feedback. The lounge seats are included with feathered pillows, we're sorry you had found it uncomfortable. We supply additional covers for people who attend with dogs, they are also washed weekly. We have checked the oven on your departure and found no issues, we are more than happy to pop to the property and fix any issues. Property Owner

  Lamora stated off road parking for 2 cars, and it does not. It is on road parking albeit a side road, If we had taken 2 cars it would have been extremely difficult to park, as it was we only had a couple of times when someone else had parked there and made it almost impossible to turn car round.

• "The Bungalow is very comfy and accessible."

  There was a lovely welcome pack with all your basics and as I had purchased this holiday for my Husbands 65th Birthday Caroline the owner had left some chocolates for him and the home made cheese scones were lovely. The location is perfect for the Cheddar Gauge and you can walk through the shops and cafes on route to the gauge, if you come to the end of the cul-de-sac and turn right the little village of cheddar is only a 5 minute walk and has a Tesco Express and small Sainsburys should you need basics late in the day. The property is very clean and grab rails in the most needed places. The furnishings are dated but very serviceable and the kitchen is fully equipped if you like cooking although there are plenty of places in walking distance to eat in or take away. The bed is comfy and there is plenty of storage in both bedrooms. The Garden has had new fencing since the photo's on here and is now very safe for any dogs and they get a bowl of biscuits and treats and have spare bowls, a toy and lots of covers for the furniture so you do not have any worry about your dogs being inside or outside of the property. The neighbours were lovely and very informative. We had a great stay and would go back and stay at Lomora again.

  The garden is perfect for dogs, even escape-artists like mine, with a high dog-proof fence.

The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac and within an easy walk to the Gorge, shops, restaurants and pubs. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, but you could have a great time without ever leaving Cheddar. I've been ill, so the accessibility features, such as grab rails, were very welcome. At no point did I feel nervous about being there alone. Add Wifi, televisions in every room, efficient heating and an extremely well-equipped kitchen and you have the perfect holiday cottage. Many thanks, and I hope to visit again.

Our host Caroline met us and made us feel very welcome and at home.

Beautiful views, great walks, lots of activities and things to do and see at the Gorge. Good location for seeing Somerset too.

The cottage itself was comfortably furnished, with ample seating and storage throughout. It was clean and recently decorated. We slept well under cosy duvets, plenty of towels were provided as well as a comprehensively equipped kitchen.
