“Great cottage , very spacious in a beautiful area.”

- Mrs Searle, September 2021
Mr Debaes July 2021

“Beautiful cottage in a quiet village.”

If you want to get away from it all in peace and quiet close to lots of good old British days out this is the place. Bath 35 mins, beaches in about an hour, great dog walks . Sad to leave as we have such a great time. Would definitely recommend. House had everything we needed. A second shower would have been a bonus, but not the end of the world. Seen some reports on dishwasher not working, but all ok for us. Only thing we missed was a fan, we had hottest week of year and cottage was very warm at night. If you have room pack one.

“The house was lovely and full of character however on the day we arrived we noticed a drain pouring raw sewerage out and one of the ovens didn’t work.”

Great location over all. The outdoor furniture needed replaced as the table was broken and only having one stand up shower (two in the baths) seemed unusual. Not enough pans to cater for ten. One bowl was also cracked.

“Firstly the dishwasher didn't work, and by the comments in the visitor book it's been an on going thing for a while.”

It wasn't the cleanest, lots of cobwebs all around and a dirty tissue under our bed!! Quite a bit of dust on plugs and plug sockets. Down stairs bedroom the mattress is so uncomfortable that it gave our friends back and hip ache to the point they had to sleep on the day bed. Having a washing line or an airer would have been useful, coz not all items of clothing can be tumble dried, and if it's nice weather using the tumble dryer is surely a waste of electric! Finally having 3 bathrooms but only 1 shower is very poor, everyone had to wait to have a shower each morning coz the other 2 bathrooms only had baths in them. Perhaps fitting a shower screen or shower curtain might help so other guest can use the shower heads over the baths.

“Absolutely beautiful cottage full of character.”

Lovely and warm on arrival, very clean and welcoming. Plenty of space for our family and very comfy beds. Lovely spacious kitchen with everything we needed although could do with another big saucepan, baking tray and a colander. great to be able to take the dog and there is a safe garden and walks from the house. All in all it was a great place to spend valuable time with family over new year. Thank you!

Mrs Casserly October 2020

“The cottage was lovely - warm and very comfortable with great facilities.”

There were walks from the door and lots of national trust properties nearby. We really enjoyed our stay. The only downsides were no mobile reception at all, and the inglenook fireplace was actually electric.

- Mrs Casserly, October 2020
Miss Howe September 2020

“Fantastic large thatched farmhouse which sleeps up to 10 people (there were just 6 of us).”

Well decorated, very clean and modern. Kitchen was well equipped also and beds/bedding very comfortable. We were very impressed and would come back. Only downside was no pub/restaurant or shop within nearby walking distance so you do need a car to explore the area but it’s a great base to do that.

“The cottage was beautiful, we had a lovely New Year.”

....only thing missing was a corkscrew !!

“We booked the cottage for 2 nights only as a small getaway before New Year.”

We did not plan much. We got there around 7 in the evening and the weather was not great We just wanted to get into the cottage and get the heating on. We were surprised when the owners had already got the house heated. It was such a sweet thought. The kids were tired from the drive but as we entered into the warm and welcoming house, we were all excited. It is a beautiful cottage with all the facilities. Tiny details were thought of and all the bathrooms were clean and had a hand cleaner. We loved the stay and will definitely be back for a longer time next visit.

- Mr Gopal, December 2019
Mr Jouvenat December 2019

“Excellent accommodation.”

Plenty of space and very comfortable. Parking for two vehicles outside door (four if next door unoccupied). excellent cooking facilities and plenty of dishes, cups etc for a family of eight. sould definitely book again.

- Mr Jouvenat, December 2019
Mrs Stewart November 2019

“An extremely comfortable, clean and warm spacious house in a lovely quiet location.”

We appreciated all the unexpected comforts supplied like tea, coffee, milks, fresh orange, eggs & cereal and most especially a bottle of Prosecco. An excellent location for visiting Longleat.

- Mrs Stewart, November 2019
Mr Meijer October 2019

“It was a very comfortable cottage.”

Well equipped kitchen, although we think that there could be more potts and pans for 8 people. The beds were very comfy. We loved the welcome-pack. However, we were rather disappointed to find out that the open fire was an electric one. The features clearly mentioned an open fire. Never the less: we had a great holiday.
