• "Had a lovely 4 night stay at Crooks with our dog."

  The cottage is utterly gorgeous, beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Perfect for a couple and their beagle. We really couldn’t fault it. Location is perfect for visiting the area. Had a bracing walk on Brean Beach. Arrive after 2.30pm and parking in the beach is half price. Also visited Cheddar Gorge and had a lovely walk round Cheddar reservoir. Shopped at The Ploughman’s Farm Shop just down the road which had everything we needed. Great for meat and fresh veg and local cider. We wish we had booked for a longer stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

  Thank you so much for enjoying your stay. Property Owner

• "Crooks is a lovely little cottage, it was a perfect home away from home in beautiful, peaceful surroundings."

  Tracey has put together a really helpful welcome pack about the cottage, places to visit, places to eat, local walks, as well as other useful info, she is also on hand if you have any queries. Crooks is in a good location for visiting Axbridge, Cheddar Gorge, Weston-Super-Mare, Wells, all of which worth a visit. The New Inn at Cross and The Lamb at Axbridge (best fish & chips I’ve had in a long time!) serve really good, homemade pub food and are dog friendly. A lot of careful thought has gone into Crooks, I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. I would highly recommend this property, our dog Jenny loved it too!

  Wow Jenny I am over the moon with your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure hosting you all and I can absolutely agree with those fish and chips! Property Owner

  Couple of things though the mattress is not pocket sprung so we rolled into one another and was so uncomfortable I had a back ache in mornings. We left a day early because of it. The pop plug on sink in bathroom did not pop up. We did not raise it as its too much trouble. Surely the previous clean would found this. Also dust on lamp shades.

  CHEDDAR. etc are all less than 30 minutes drive. The only downside is the place needs a fridge/freezer and a good idea is a dvd player. 4.7

  It was a pleasure meeting you and your dear dog. So pleased you found us in a great spot for all the Somerset sights. I will certainly consider your idea of a DVD but many guests use Netflix or Prime mostly and the smart TV accommodates these for guests subscriptions. The fridge does have a freezer compartment but I can appreciate for longer staying guests a larger freezer may be more convenient. Property Owner

• "Crooks is a very cosy cottage but not cramped because the space has been well designed."

  Although attached to Wavering (the cottage next door which is also a holiday rent) we heard nothing through the walls, even though the couple renting Wavering had a dog. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities/equipment we needed. The key safe system worked well so we didn't actually meet our hosts. Crooks is set in a beautiful country area with an easily accessible end of the Mendips rising immediately behind the cottage. The road along the base of the hills runs immediately past the back of the cottage. There is very little traffic and you really don't hear it either inside the cottage or, indeed in the small garden seating area outside, so it is a very peaceful and quiet spot. Care is needed driving out of the property as the exit is onto a semi-blind bend in the road. We loved our stay and would recommend it for a quiet break in beautiful countryside. In colder months the woodburner would make the property even cosier (we didn't need it in late August/beginning September.

  The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was very practical, with tiled floors downstairs. The bedroom was lovely, with a comfy bed and a good shower. The only 2 things that I would have liked to be a little better were the quality of broadband as it was hard to watch streamed TV (I know this is hard when you live in the country) and the sofa was small which made it difficult to lounge around after a long walk with the dogs. But we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.
