"What a beautiful cottage, lovely welcome gift of biscuits and milk in the fridge, views are spectacular, and had everything you need."
Very modern finish, beautiful wood burner, comfy bed, high quality towels. Excellent pub nearby with fantastic walks around the country park. Not disabled friendly, due to lots of steps up to the cottage, and stairs up to the bedrooms, this was stated in the description though. I’d definitely recommend this wonderful home to spend your holiday, hopefully we will return in the new year!

"We enjoyed our stay at Scrambles cottage."
Very comfortable with lovely views. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy bed and a great shower. Welcome pack was much appreciated

"Lovely cottage in an excellent location for nearby attractions."
Very clean and well maintained. The only issue we had was arriving in the rain and finding the keysafe, as the wall listed on the instructions was obscured by a bush. After wandering around looking at every wall, we finally saw it. It required crawling on hands and knees, parting foliage and using a phone torch to get the key. The owners might want you rethink that one as we did not use the key safe during the week due to accessibility, but had to carry the key.
Delighted to hear that the cottage's comfort and cleanliness was good and that the cottage was close to all the attractions you wanted to visit. We have taken your feedback on the key safe location on board and will be installing one that is more easily accessible, especially to guests who arrive late at night or in the rain. Thank you for your suggestion and we hope that you enjoyed your time at the cottage - we would be delighted to welcome you back again (this time with a more accessible key safe!). Property Owner

"This is probably one of the best cottages we have ever had."
Beautifully done out, clean, well equipped, with a lovely welcome pack, and close to the attractions we were interested in visiting. The only thing we would suggest is to make it plain in the advertising that this might not be the best cottage for those with mobility problems. We had no issues, but as well as the steep path and steps leading to the property (which were mentioned) the stairs inside were also extremely steep and, with the relatively narrow treads, could prove to be a hazard for some. Once again, this wasn't a problem for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your lovely comments and we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Scrambles. We will look at enhancing the listing information to ensure that the stairs are described more clearly. Glad to hear that the steep stairs were not a problem for you though. Thank you again and we would be delighted to welcome you back! Property Owner

"Lovely stay in a beautiful location with outstanding views."
Cottage beautifully done and really cosy. Prince of Wales pub excellent as was The Kings Arms at Montecute a few miles away. Neighbours and locals all very friendly and helpful. Points for noting: TV in bedroom had no aerial lead; Absence of welcome pack (sponge cake and milk only) was not really a problem as we brought plenty with us; May need curtain over front door in bad weather as gap in letter box (draft).
Thank you so much for your review and your kind words. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Scrambles. We appreciate your comments on the welcome pack and will endeavour to enhance this. Thank you again for your feedback, we would be delighted to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

"Comfortable charming cottage well worth the climb from the road to the front door."
Stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Thankyou for the generous welcome gifts. The kitchen is well stocked with essential dry goods making food and drink preparations easy. Lots of interesting places to see and good walking areas nearby.
Thank you very much for your kind comments, we are glad to hear that you felt welcomed and comfortable during your stay at Scrambles, and that you enjoyed the views and the countryside. We would love to welcome you back again soon! Property Owner

"The photos don’t do this property justice!"
It’s beautiful and simply magical. The views were incredible and the cottage was quaint. We loved it and it felt like something out of a story book. It felt cosy and deceivingly my specious for a 2 bedroom cottage. This cottage is very well cared for. We would walk down to the local parks daily and drove to West bay, Yeovil and Crewkerne to access the local pools. There were a variety of beaches within 45 minutes drive, such a great location. We could have stayed longer with so much to do in all weather conditions. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you had such a lovely time visiting this beautiful part of the country. We would be delighted to welcome you back again soon! Property Owner

"Really beautiful location."
Cottage lost nothing of its cosiness to a modern and clean conversion that made for an enjoyable and relaxing home from home. Beds very comfy. Proximity to Ham Hill Country park perfect for our 2 dogs - incredible views and long walks.

"Lovely stay at Scrambles, very clean, everything catered for at the cottage, good welcome pack on arrival which was very much appreciated."
Despite the wet weather we unfortunately had during our stay there was a lovely view from the front garden of the Cottage and a great Pub just up the hill.
Thank you very much for your kind comments on your stay at Scrambles Cottage. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your holiday, despite the rainy weather - the views from the front garden are indeed lovely. The Prince of Wales at the top of the hill is indeed a great country pub and conveniently close. We are glad to hear you were happy with the facilities in the cottage - thank you again very much for your booking. Property Owner

"Comfortable cottage with a view of the Somerset levels from the garden."
Well equipped kitchen. You need to be fit and mobile as lots of steps to the cottage, and steep staircases to first and second floor bedrooms. There are also steps to small back garden.
Thank you very much for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the views from the garden, and that you found the kitchen well-equipped. The staircases inside the cottage are indeed a little steep and there are also steps in the garden as the cottage is on a hill, but we hope that these nevertheless did not detract from your holiday, and that you had a wonderful time in the Somerset countryside.

"Very well presented accommodation with more than you need for a nice holiday."
Lovely views from both front and back. Beware of the amount of steps in order to access the property. Seems to be an issue with getting the waste bins emptied.
Many thanks for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay - the views are indeed amazing so we are thrilled you liked the cottage. With regard to the waste bins, we have addressed this with our cleaners so that they will be more proactive about managing this aspect. Property Owner
