Previous visitors' comments about Hill House Cottage:
We had a wonderfully comfortable and relaxing stay. The cottage has every luxury of home. The building has huge architectural merit, a pleasure to be able to stay in such a lovely property.
Mr Bedford-Smith, Fareham, November 2011
We couldn't fault anything with the cottage, it was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. This was our second visit to Hill House Cottage, we went two years ago and really loved it. There's loads to do within a short car journey. We went to Sherbourne, Lyme Regis, Longleat, Street and Stourhead Gardens. Our two children loved it. There's also a soft play centre 10 minutes up the road.
The owners were lovely, making us a delicious banana cake and recommending a lovely pub, The Stapletons Arms, that were fine with us bringing our 9 month old baby as well as our 3.5 year old in for dinner. We've already said we will be back again in a year or two so the boys can go to Longleat again. We will definitely stay at Hill House Cottage again.

Very comfortable accommodation in a lovely location. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
Mrs Binding, Llandinam, September 2011
The cottage has a great deal of character and was convenient for traveling around the area. Although there is only one space advertised we managed to park both cars one behind the other. The owners were very helpful and friendly when we met them. My sister feels the cold so was happy that the heating was so efficient. The beds were comfortable.
