Great area but property needs some TLC
Cosy cottage? This is a 3 Bedroomed, large house with the owner living next door. It is very comfortable, especially the downstairs. Its in a lovely area for walks etc.- we took our bikes and had a lovely time seeing some small villages around and a great Pub,10 minutes walk away. The kitchen is very large and well equipped for all your needs, love the old range (which is for show only). Double Glazed through out with it seems wooden frames, they look really nice and suit the property. The large lounge has a massive log burner, we didn't use it but I bet that would keep you warm in the cold winters, didn't see much wood though but that maybe because its still Summer. It is the upstairs that lets this Cottage down, though. There are 2 good sized Bedrooms with a Bathroom, with a very powerful Shower. There is a massive Master Bedroom, with an Ensuite Bathroom (Bath only). The Mattress on the Bed in the Master Bedroom, needs replacing as the springs have seen better days - the other beds could do with updating too. and the Furniture looks old and tired. Because all the floors are wooden, they creak a lot, especially in the Master Room - perhaps by having some Rugs on the Floors, it would make it less noisy and more homely. The Garden was lovely with plenty of space, but again could do with some TLC. The Patio was covered in weeds and the Wooden Furniture, all needs replacing. Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay and it is very quiet in a lovely location.

West Barn
A beautifully positioned cottage with excellent hosts. Helpful and welcoming from the outset. The cottage is comfortable and peaceful with ample space and well provisioned, but would benefit from some updating now eg outdoor garden furniture and overall decor. However we had a fabulous few days there….thank you.

Location, location
An excellent accommodation for my family requirements. 4 adults and 2 children. Good sized bedrooms, excellent kitchen and living area. Generally well equipped, some cleaning cloths required would be our only thought. Otherwise, excellent hosts who were available if required, and though living close where very descreet. The property was easy to find given the GPS coordinates. Communication with the hosts was excellent, and they were very helpful in all arrangements. There was good instructions on how to use and find local amenities. A good supply of books and games were available and some Wellington Boots as it was quite wet and muddy at times. Hot water was always available and both shower and bath options were available. If you are in this lovely area to explore, this is a superb property to do it from.

Beautiful property
Just back from a short stay in this property. It has loads of quirk and charm. Host was easy to communicate with and friendly. A couple things to point out for future visitors that we weren't aware of. There is a large dip in the farm track on way to property, so avoid bringing any 'low' cars as you'll get stuck. Also one of the bathrooms (with the bath) is an ensuite to a bedroom. Lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful house and grounds... House was already warm on arrival. Loved the notes in frames above the range cooker and fireplace...Hosts were there but not intrusive in any way. Had a lovely away from it all break with some great walks and pub finds.. Heartily recommend the Strode Arms at Cranmore near the East Somerset Railway as a place to eat. - Watching squirrels in the apple tree in the mornings with fresh coffee is a must. Will definitely be returning - 5/5 or 10/10 does not do this place justice... A great find on VRBO and thank you so much for letting us share your wonderful home. Loved it.

A lovely family getaway
A spacious holiday home with a brilliant kitchen with everything you could need. The sitting room was also lovely and big with smart TV and a great fire with lots of logs. The garden was lovely with plenty of seating. We had a great break and visited Barrington House (National Trust), the Fleet Air Museum, Clarkes village outlet shopping and Longleat Safari park on the way home. Good communication with the owner oh and fantastic shower pressure! Thank you for our lovely stay.

We loved everything about this property. It was charming, quiet, dog-friendly, comfortable and friendly host. We enjoyed relaxing with a book, walking around the local community, eating out at a great pub within walking distance and visiting Shelton Mallet prison on a rainy day. We would love to revisit and would highly recommend this property to others.

Fabulous escape to the country
Such a lovely property in a quiet, tranquil setting. It had everything to be a home from home. The garden was lovely and private & you could walk across the field to do wild swimming if you wanted. Michael was on hand if you needed anything. There was a fabulous pub (Crossed Keys) within walking distance (10 minute stroll - if that) which does lovely food. (Take a torch as it is very dark walking down the private lane which takes you to the property.) the property is within easy reach of places like Wells, Chedder Gorge, Lyme Regis and Weymouth to name but a few.

Thank you so much for the perfect location for our Glastonbury escapade. The cottage was perfect in every way and met our every need. Comfortable beds, hot water and well stocked kitchen. Quiet tranquility as an antidote and opportunity to revitalise in between trips in and out of Worthy Farm. Thank you!
