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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Super house in what feels like a secret garden location! Very comfortable with a kitchen ready for serious cooking. Local wild swimming currently not an option due to water quality- this was the only downside.

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!

We stayed for three nights in May. The weather was lovely so we took advantage of the lovely big garden and BBQ. The barn is fantastic - very large and comfortable with everything you need. There are lovely walks right on the doorstep. We went to local national trust houses and Wells. Highly recommended. All in all a very restful stay in a great location. Michael was really helpful and quick in replying to any questions. Would stay again.

This is a most wonderful private, peaceful and quiet home and garden. Inside, the ground floor sitting room and very large kitchen are beautiful, with even better views. The 3upstairs bedrooms were comfortable, large, with two good bathrooms. We spent every evening sitting on the patio gardens. The location is superb for walking through the orchards, with local pubs offering excellent meals. We entertained friends often. Parking is easy. Local Trust sites abound. Our hosts met us on arrival and were charming, but not at all intrusive. Our fortnight holiday went by too quickly; we shall definitely plan to return.

We had a wonderful stay at West Lydford, the house was everything we could have wished for and more. Being able to explore countryside and footpaths straight from the front door was a treat. The kitchen has a lovely big table, and the lounge is very cosy and perfect for board games. The house setting is very peaceful. We really enjoyed our time away walking the Mendips. Thank you for letting us stay.
