• "The Mill was a lovely rustic and quirky property to stay in."

  It was brilliant for a dog as all the floors were wooden and having a stable door meant we could keep the upper half open without worrying about the dog getting out . I loved the sound of running water outside my bedroom. The chickens and cats (especially Badger the cat) were friendly and it was great to be able to buy some eggs. Gary and Jackie were helpful and happy to talk about the farm. Lovely to walk around.

  It is probably at its best in late Spring and Summer when doors and windows can be open. It was really nice to have the workings of the mill incorporated in the design. This is a beautiful area for exploring Somerset.

• "The Mill is a delightful and quaint cottage that provides a perfect and peaceful holiday."

  Set in the grounds of a working farm with chickens roaming freely and located in a quiet country lane surrounded by pleasant countryside. The only noise to be heard is the occasional steam train that runs close to the large grounds of the farm The property has been tastefully converted from a mill and still retains many original features. Inside the property the stream that used to power the mill provides a gentle relaxing sound as it runs close by. The Mill provides comfortable accommodation with a large kitchen and a quirky dining room with loads of character. There is plenty of outside space for sitting and relaxing within a most relaxing environment.

  Spotlessly clean :I am wary of booking places that welcome dogs but could not fault the cleanliness here. The private garden and benches were fabulous and the washing machine and tumble dryer -just next door in an outbuilding -were an unexpected bonus . Loads of hot water ,excellent toilet flush ,heating if wanted ,bathroom great . Signage from main road a bit tricky ,just an estate agents Red Deer I think sign . Would happily book again .

  Facilities are basic but comfortable. It would not suit anyone who likes things to be pristine nor anyone who is tall- very low doors ! Great for a quiet escape into the country side.

• "Great location, characterful cottage with everything you need and friendly, helpful owners."

  The Mill could do with a little investment - thicker mattress on the double bed and fitted sheets, a knife sharpener and one decent kitchen knife, getting all the lights working, ideally a shower as well as or instead of a bath. All in all it was good though and would definitely go back here if holidaying in the area.

• "Everything was very basic."

  Couldn’t sleep in upstairs bedroom because of the noise of torrent of water thundering past window. Had to sleep downstairs in uncomfortable beds with sheets that didn’t fit bed and it was cold. Equipment basic ,broken handle on cupboard door. Oven not clean cooker needed replacing. Bathroom only one step above none existing, it was dreadful. Whole place needed a good clean to get rid of all the cobwebs. Presume Sykes haven’t actually inspected this place as it was well below anything we have stayed in previously.

  Sunny weather and the lambs still in their pen so we got to help feed them. I love the little back door of the house that leads to the garden next to the stream, where there’s a nice picnic table. We had a very relaxing time- falling asleep at the end of each day to the sound of the stream beside the house

• "We loved the week we spent at The Mill at Meadowsweet Farm."

  It is a beautifully converted former cider mill with a stream running alongside which lulls one to sleep at night. The rooms are simply and tastefully furnished and the setting within the farm, with the lovely old farmhouse across the yard, works well. It is very quiet. My daughters and I plus dog had a great time both at the cottage and exploring the vicinity. It's a perfect location for walking on the Quantacks - which are quite stunning. We very much hope to return to this cottage and this beautiful corner of Somerset.

• "The location was beautiful, peaceful and secluded."

  Cute quirky house. Kids had such a great time, playing in the stream, making friends with the chickens. Farmer so friendly. Few little bits to feedback to owners, double mattress super thin and uncomfy, I ended up sleeping on kids single bed, bathroom lock doesn't work, spatula has no handle, and cupboard with glasses has no handle. The listing mentioned games books and dvds, but none there, (although we did leave a jigsaw behind!) Also lots of cobwebs, and dust in corners, it could do with a spring clean! But overall lovely. Thank you.

• "The cottage was nice,but could do with updating, which could be hard as it is listed."

  However the kitchen was basic and the seating area could do with some new furniture, as what was there was old and uncomfortable, same with the beds. The garden was not enclosed at all which ment we could not let the dog out alone and maybe updated garden furniture to. The WiFi kept dropping in and out ,and the phone signal was bad (but it was nice to be off grid at times) . All that being said it was a nice retreat to get away from it all. The couple who own the property are friendly and made us feel welcome. Some good local pups where you can take your dog ie The Bicnoller arms and The Blue Ball.

  Friendly host. It was great for our dogs which was the main aim. Nice and relaxed for them. Lovely space to walk nearby and nice longer walks locally. Would really recommend if travelling with dogs. Also a very lovely garden with lots of space to sit out. Very very peaceful. The sound of the water running in the stream outside was lovely to send you to sleep at night.

  It was very quirky. It was so peaceful and we loved the little garden space by the pond and listening to the water rushing down the mill race. The mill workings that were left in place were really interesting especially as we went to the water mill at Dunster and the lady explained how the mill would have worked. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful country side and despite the weather being a bit showery we had a most enjoyable holiday.
