"A beautiful peaceful place to stay in the countryside whilst enjoying the wildlife and the peace."
-
"Lovely cosy cottage well equipped."
Hosts Huw and Viv extremely friendly. Only downfall as we experienced was parking the car sadly if you have a larger car the turning area to park on concrete parking area was extremely tight so anyone with a larger vehicle will struggle also you need to be aware there are a lot of hazards you could easily reverse into whilst trying to park.
-
"Great place to stay in a lovely location."
Owners extremely helpful
-
"We had a wonderful week break."
Viv and Huw were very good hosts and the cottage was beautiful, a real home from home. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. There is a lovely pub just a couple of minutes walk away which serves delicious food, all in all we could not fault Pittards Farm Cottage and would not hesitate to go back there.
-
"We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, well equipped cottage."
A very warm welcome from the owners Viv and Hugh. The bed was so comfortable, a beautiful bathroom and sitting room and very well equipped kitchen. It was in a very peaceful location but easy to reach many local attractions.
-
"Pittards Farm Cottage is very spacious and comfortable for two people with everything you need."
Lots to do in the area whatever the weather. We had a fabulous week.
-
"We had a lovely week in Vivienne and Huw's cottage, blessed with sunshine and glorious weather."
The bottle of wine and pint of milk in the fridge on arrival were really appreciated - thank you! The cottage had all that we required. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had all that we needed and our stay was so quiet and relaxing. We can recommend a visit to East Lambrook Manor Gardens, walks around Ham Hill and Castle Neroche. Montacute House worth a visit too. We had a nice meal in the Rose and Crown up the road and also the Brewers Arms in South Petherton (20/30 minute walk across fields). Such a peaceful base to explore the area.
-
"Pittards was a perfect place to stay to explore this area of Somerset, which has lots of gorgeous gardens, including in the village (but up for sale)."
It is characterful, well designed, spacious, contains everything you might need with an extremely comfortable bed, set in a delightful garden and very quiet. The owners are very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. If we visit this area again we will book this cottage again. Highly recommended for two people.

"Comfortable cottage with everything you could need, with lovely hosts, just up the road from a quiet friendly pub :)"
-
"Had a really lovely time at pittards farm, would recommend it to family and friends"
-
"Lovely spacious cottage in quiet rural area."
Owners very friendly and around if any questions arise. Location excellent to tour Somerset and surrounding area. Local pub only 5 mins walk away. We don't usually go back to the same place twice but would consider it on this occasion
-
"We spent a lovely week in this very pretty and comfortable cottage."
It was ideally situated near many National Trust properties and the gardens up the road were beautiful and worth a visit. Lovely pubs nearby and we hope to return in the future. The owners were very helpful and friendly and we would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to others.
-
"A lovely comfortable stay in an attractive part of Somerset."
We enjoyed exploring the small towns and villages, the NT properties and the lovely seaside towns of Lyme Regis and Bridport. We found the owners helpful and kind. It was always good to return to Pittards Farm Cottage at the end of the day
-
"We had such a lovely time and the cottage was just perfect!"
Very well equipped, spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfy! Special shout out to the polish chickens - and we loved the freshly laid eggs, which was a lovely little touch! Would love to return if ever in the area again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-
"Had a very relaxing stay in a very comfortable cottage."
There was everything we could possibly need in comfort, warmth, kitchen facilities and bathroom luxury. The owners, Viv and Huw were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The extras were a very welcome, thoughtful touch. The local pub was only 5 minutes away even though a torch ( once again provided!) was a good idea! A lovely local butcher with excellent produce was in South Petherton. The only downside as far as we were concerned was the lack of a bus service but that was nothing to do with the cottage. Altogether a very enjoyable week.
-
"We really enjoyed staying at Pittards Farm Cottage."
It was the perfect size and very comfortable and suited our needs to be in this area perfectly. The website photos were an exact and true description. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom with separate bath and shower was great. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge room very relaxing. Good to have parking right by the cottage, and the welcome gift of wine, biscuits and milk was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The pub just a short walk away was quaint and enjoyable with good home cooked meals. We would certainly stay here again.

"Beautiful property with lots of cottage charm ."
Spotlessly clean and everything you need for a very comfortable stay. We really enjoyed the goodies. Set in a small village with a nice country pub. Plenty of National Trust properties close by. Hugh and Viv are the perfect host who really want you to enjoy your stay.

"Pittards Farm Cottage was lovely, just perfect for us to get away and spend time in Somerset sightseeing."
The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all the necessary items you need on holiday. We were treated to little goodies provided by the owners, Viv and Huw, who were nearby to ensure all was perfect. A great holiday home we would recommend to others.
-
"Absolutely adored this little cottage."
It's a perfect getaway for a couple if you want a quiet, peaceful getaway. It had all the amenities we required, and everything was easy to access and use. The cottage had oodles of personality, and the older style of furnishings was absolutely darling. Viv was really friendly, and was there to greet us when we arrived. Though we didn't have to pester her for anything during our stay, it was nice to know that she was there should we need anything. The location is perfect, with plenty of National Trust houses, and forest walks nearby. Would highly recommend Ninesprings Park in Yeovil - the lakes and waterfalls are beautiful. Nicely situated so you can skip over to Dorset too
-
"Lovely cottage with everything you could need and very spacious."
Settee and bed really comfortable. Owners really nice helpful people. Garden space in the orchard and with the beautiful chickens was lovely and very peaceful looking out over the fields. Lots of National Trusts houses/gardens in the area all very close so hardly any travelling needed to visit them. Also Clarks village was 30 min car ride away. We had a very relaxing holiday and visited the Garden that is open in the village and had a few meals in the Village pub. Food there was good.
-
"Absolutely perfect Recommend a small table outside the back door next to the ..."
Absolutely perfect Recommend a small table outside the back door next to the bench, if room, to eat outside rather than carry into the orchard It was all so quiet & lovely
-

"A wonderful place to stay, very comfortable and very well equipped in an idyllic location down a tiny track beside the farmhouse, surrounded by flowers and bird song."
Friendly and hospitable owners who really cared about the property and the comfort of your stay. As an added bonus the property is set in a beautiful Somerset village with so many interesting places to visit - the Avalon marshes for birdwatching, several National Trust properties, pretty local towns and excellent walking straight from the cottage. We had an excellent stay and would be happy to return.

"Pittards Farm Cottage is a lovely converted building fitted out with quality fixtures & furnishings that made for a relaxing & comfortable stay, also spotlessly clean."
The owners, Vivienne & Hugh are lovely & made me feel welcome. I mentioned I was keen on walking so they provided me with some local guide books that I made use of. The surrounding areas are very quiet & enjoyed the local walks, even seeing some deer on one of the days. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage & hope I have the opportunity of a return stay.
-
"Sorry it's taken so long."
I would first like to say the owners where lovely really made us feel welcome. the area is fantastic for walks and has an amazing local pub, the food there was probably the best I've had in a pub. Me and my Wife have said we will defiantly come back. so thank you to the Owners for making it special. MR and Mrs Parsons

"This is a lovely cottage set in a small village with a pub a short walk away for a nightcap."
Vivienne and Hugh (live across the way) were happy to answer any question or to give me recommendations/guidance. The rooms were immaculate and totally up to C19 standards. I found it peaceful and very comfortable especially the bed and lovely linen! The upper garden was my retreat in the evening time with a glass to watch the country skyline. This location is so well positioned for walks, NT and the sea. I highly recommend it. Mary

"A slight disappointment was there were no shops nearby at all."
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Pittards Farm Cottage is about a mile from South Petherton, in the smaller village of East Lambrook (pub, manor house gardens with snowdrop and national geranium collections, plant nursery, tea room, gallery). Our Reservations team are always happy to assist with any queries you might have prior to booking. Property Owner

"The cottage was all we had hoped for spotless on arrival and furnished to a high level with everything we needed for our break."
The owners, Viv and Hew were there to greet us on arrival and answer any questions we had. Set in a beautiful quiet village it is the perfect place to get away from everything but also in a great location to visit many National Trust’s and seaside towns in Devon and Dorset. We went to a new place everyday and still have plenty left to explore in this lovely area for a visit at another time. Would highly recommend this cottage it’s an ideal size for couples and decorated in excellent taste. Thank you Viv and Hew for a wonderful holiday.

-
"Pittards Farm Cottage is a lovely place to stay."
It is ideally located to explore Somerset and Dorset. Vivienne and Huw were superb hosts. Many thanks for the wine/biscuits and milk in the fridge. A very relaxing and peaceful property where many things were provided including hand soap dispensers/sanitizer/dishwasher tablets/shower gel/shampoo and much more. Only one slight amendment to the Sykes description, there is a washing machine but it is not a dryer. Vivienne has left an information pack indicating this fact but has added that she will dry wet items in her dryer, if required. I would thoroughly recommend Pittards Farm cottage.
-
"A very comfortable cottage in an excellent location."
Very quiet but handy for Dorset, Devon and Somerset destinations. Many personal touches in cottage make you feel very welcome. Local pub within walking distance and Lambrook Hall gardens too.
-

Beautiful secluded location, and very quiet. Convenient for both Somerset and Dorset. Spotlessly clean, would definitely recommend it.

Very much appreciated the chocolate shortcake biscuits and bottle of wine!
-
"I have ticked 'met expectations' as this has always been the level at which Helpful Holidays have described their rentals at which my family and I have enjoyed over the past 12 years."
Pittards Farm Cottage is an excellent stay for two, with all the facilities needed.The location is very centrally situated for both the coast resorts and also the many towns, pretty villages and National Trust properties. On the negative side, I am unhappy with the large booking fee introduced by Skyes in the past two years, and the discontinuation of the the Friends and Family discounts which have been withdrawn since Helpful Holidays were taken over.
-
"The cottage was perfectly located in a beautiful Somerset village with a pub nearby."
Beautifully furnished , with a very comfortable bed and huge bathroom with shower and bath, the kitchen had everything we could possibly have needed including a washer dryer, microwave, dishwasher and toaster, plus a good oven. The owners were on hand to greet us and if we had any questions. There are lots of footpaths through the countryside near t and a nice walk to the next village where there is a good co-op for supplies, a nice pub and a chippy and a good range of other shops.

I do not have any hesitation in recommending this holiday cottage as we had a wonderful time.

The property
In the little village of East Lambrook, about a mile from South Petherton village, is this detached cottage.
Converted from stables, it is a stylish base for a couple.
From the drive, where a horse occasionally clip-clops by, head up a couple of steps through arched doors into your smart kitchen with its flagstone floor and table for enjoying breakfast over the papers.
For suppers or quiet time, you have a dining room too, also with the charming flagstone floor, where you can enjoy the ready meals available if you don't feel like cooking or eating at the village pub.
The sitting room is cosy, with its oak floor and lovely Knole sofa to relax on.
Take the stairs up to your double bedroom, a romantic room with big bed and atmospheric period fabrics, accompanied by a bathroom with characterful roll-top bath or option of a shower.
Outside, you have a pretty sitting out area in the garden of the owners' old thatched farmhouse, as well as use of an orchard where you can enjoy sunny alfresco meals at the picnic table.
This is a wonderful area for visiting amazing houses and gardens or churches.
Within the village itself is a manor house with cottage gardens famous for the national snowdrop and geranium collections, where you can buy plants to take home and enjoy afternoon tea, or head off to wonderful Montacute, Barrington Court or Tintinhull.
Walk up Ham Hill for superb views from the Iron Age fort.
The closest coast is in Dorset, at Bridport or Lyme Regis.
With easy access to the A303 or M5, Pittards Farm Cottage is a smashing location for exploring the area.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
