• "A wonderful holiday cottage."

  Everything you could need for a great stay. Very central to all the places we wanted to visit and a pleasure to come back to after a day exploring. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Our hosts were a lovely friendly couple and were there on hand if we needed anything. Highly recommended for a lovely break. Many thanks.

  Well appointed, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Easy driving distance from main attractions and places of interest. Beautiful setting on a lovely farm. Hopefully we will be back.

• "Absolutely loved this cottage and being part of a working farm."

  The location is perfect. Sadly, I suffered ill health whilst there but made the most of our stay locally. Being disabled I personally wished that the sofas were higher and longer, and a pull down seat in the en suite so that i could have had a shower, also non slip mats in both showers, but apart from that it is a beautiful bungalow and Alex and Kate could not be more accommodating and Reg!

• "The cottage was lovely and the owners, who live next door, were very friendly and helpful during our stay."

  Reg the dog was particularly welcoming. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed. We stayed in November but the house itself was very warm and cosy. The only thing we could think of improving would be a small heater in the adjoining games room which was a great addition to the house but was a bit chilly! We would highly recommend Leigh Holt and would definitely stay again if visiting the Somerset area.

  The property was immaculate, spacious and comfortable, a home from home. We met Kate the owner as we arrived, she was lovely and made us feel very welcome. We found a little welcome gift of cake and milk had been left for us which was lovely. We weren't able to use them unfortunately, but it was a very nice and welcome touch.

• "The cottage was beautifully equipped with everything you would need."

  It was comfortable and very clean. The only thing we felt it lacked was some comfortable seats and a table with shade rather than fixed bench seating outside as we were unable to sit outside in comfort to enjoy the weather and utilise that space. We had older guests who were unable to use the benches in comfort. We had therefore to stay inside.

• "Lovely cottage in a very rural location."

  The owners next door were friendly & left us to our own devices. Only small criticism ( not that it was in the control of the owners or Sykes ) was there was no village pub within walking distance as was made to believe - the nearest in Cranmore looks derelict, so would have to drive to nearest establishment.. this aside, very peaceful & we were even treated to a live birth of a calf on the farm . Snooker & table tennis in a private game’s room was a nice touch, as was the carrot cake & apple juice left by Katie. We will love to return one day soon ❤️

• "We had a fantastic week at Leigh Holt."

  The property was immaculate and the little extra touches were much appreciated. We spent hours in the games room playing snooker, pool and table tennis. There were plenty of cues, rests and bats to use. The living room was so comfortable as were the beds and there was loads of storage space in the bedrooms and in the kitchen; as well as lots of plates, cups etc to use. The cooker and the dishwasher were easy to understand straight away - something we haven’t always encountered - and there were all the utensils you could need, including a pizza cutter (we had taken our own just in case but didn’t need it). We would love to go back again, which shows what a great place it was. Thank you.

• "The Original information provided and photography was cleverly selected and presented to mislead."

  The cottage was presented as far more than it was. The games room was separate from the main building and suffered with damp making it an unpleasant space. The supplies included were far more limited than supplied with any lodge or Cottage rented in the last 20 years, actually ever. The cottage was clean but poor value for money for the price, even down to insufficient toilet paper supplied for a three day stay. Also beds were very uncomfortable and were clearly past their best, The dog poo on our leave from their dog summed up the experience. We were disappointed but made the best of it for our stay. We will be back to the area but would not stay in this cottage again. It is supposed to be for five. I think not, it was small for us alone. Positive - owner was a nice lady but clearly a lot to learn about renting a cottage to fulfilling the remit and resoonsibility.

  Many thanks for your feedback. I am sorry you felt this way, however I am always on site to sort any problems or answer any questions and I always like to make my guests feel at home and I am very sorry on this occasion you didn't feel this way. The snooker room is in a separate building however it is attached to the cottage within the front garden of the property so you have full access as and when you would like to use this. Unfortunately there will be some sort of damp due to the snooker room being within an old farm building which has been converted. Toilet rolls are included however once these have been used as it is a self catering cottage, not a hotel, you do then provide your own. I am sorry you felt the beds were uncomfortable and your daughter didn't sleep. The mattresses were replaced last year so are not past their best. For a 5* cottage we have to meet certain requirements and one of those is to have a firm mattress which I agree does not suit everyone. The majority of my guests always mention how comfy the beds are and once again I am sorry you didn't agree. Lastly with regards to the dog poo, I am very sorry you had to see this on your leave. Our dog and the farm dogs never normally go near the cottage and if they do we are always so careful that this never happens as we do not want to upset our guests. Once again I can only apologies that you felt this way after your stay at Leigh Holt. Property Owner

• "Our Stay at Leigh Holt was perfect."

  Definitely one of the best places we have stayed in using Sykes Holiday Cottages.The weather was fantastic too. Kate and Alex made us feel so welcome. The place was immaculate, thoroughly home from home. The bonus was calves had been born the week before, so they were sharing the meadow with their mothers, at the bottom of the garden. We would most certainly recommend Leigh Holt to anyone who wants a cottage where they can relax and also be near to many places that Somerset has to offer. Two good pubs a few minutes away by car who dish up food near by. The Poachers Pocket, good pub food served very quickly. Also The Strode Arms who seem to be building up a business which had been neglected before, serve good quality food locally sourced,cooked to order, which was most enjoyable, need to book especially at weekends at both places.

  10 out of 10 for all areas! It was so lovely to walk into such a place and to know that the standard was that high. It may not be important to everyone but I think all agree that there is nothing worse than feeling you have to put everything through the dishwasher before use (yes, we've had holidays like that!) It is also unusual to find somewhere that is so well equipped - TV with freeview and DVD, WiFi, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer - the lot - and all in pristine condition. It was also nice to have separate (shower room, toilet) en suites to the master bedroom (not seen that before) and a very useful 'games room' with full size snooker table and table tennis (kept my husband and son happy whilst I watching boring TV!!) All in all we could not fault this lovely cottage on a farm and expressed our gratitude to the friendly, approachable hosts who were on site (attached house) should we have needed them.
