"The cottage was spacious and well equipped and very cozy and comfortable, the best holiday let bed we have ever slept on."
It was so quiet and relaxing and in a great position for dog walks and places nearby to visit. We didn't have the best weather but the scenery is stunning when the sun did come out and so was the wildlife. We would definitely return and can highly recommend it.
Hi Roz thank you. Glad you enjoyed hopefully see you again. Property Owner

"Lovely cosy and peaceful cottage, the most comfortable sofas I’ve come across in years of using holiday cottages!"
Beautiful views from the garden, including regular visits from the local small herd of wild red deer. Plenty of walks from the door along local bridle ways, my favourite took me onto moorland. Plenty of restaurants in nearby Dunster and a good local shop in Wootton Courtney for the basics.
Thanks Sue , hopefully see you again. Property Owner

"Lovely spacious cottage in idyllic unspoiled spot, surrounded by fields."
Everything essential provided, and the cream tea welcome pack was a lovely touch. Shame the weather wasn’t quite as welcoming!
Glad you liked it Michaela, hope you can return again one day . Property Owner

"The property was very nice indeed and fully equipped."
Quiet but with good access to beaches and Exmoor. The owners were helpful and provided us with a great cream tea! Great views, nice beds, lots of space, and a suitable area to bed down the dogs. Recommended . One reservation - it was not possible to let the dogs off the lead anywhere near the house as the garden (though delightful) was not enclosed and the surroundings were full of stock roaming about. Maybe I should have better trained dogs!
-
"Although attempts have been made the garden is enclosed but not secure."
Our two cockers found a hole under one of the fences and could have got out if we had not been in the garden with them. Everything else about the property was stunning as advertised would highly recommend to friends. The host Becky was lovely, very helpful and friendly and a phone call away if we needed anything. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and the doggy treats a nice touch. A big thank you to her .

"We were absolutely delighted with the cottage."
..its location, and what was provided by the owner to make it a wonderful week. By far it was the best self catering accommodation we've ever had...Becky thought of everything. We all would recommend a stay at Elsworthy Farm Cottage to anyone wanting a break in Somerset. Thank you again Becky ...
Thank you Linda, very kind and thank you for leaving the cottage so tidy. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Fantastic cottage in wonderful situation."
Had all that we needed for a perfect holiday - including the deer and all the birds. Thanks also for the cream tea which was waiting for us on our arrival. The call from Beccy before we arrived with detailed instructions on how to find the cottage was really useful

"We loved this cozy wee cottage."
Absolutely perfect for a small family of four and two dogs to stay over Christmas! Becky was kind enough to put up a Christmas tree and a few decorations which our kids were thrilled about! Lovely and quiet location, close enough to get wherever you need to go. Great garden! Facilities were great, couldn’t ask for more to be honest! Will definitely be back again next time we are back down this way. Thank you!
Arh thank you Georgie it was lovely meeting you and your family hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

"Elsworthy Farm Cottage is just beautiful, in the most beautiful peaceful countryside and had a lovely, cosy feel."
It had everything you need for a stay and Becky was just lovely, guiding us by phone when we arrived and leaving some welcome treats. We would often sit on the bench in the garden and look out for deer, squirrel or the elusive owls. There is a lot to see and do in the area but it is such a peaceful haven we enjoyed the days in just as much. Absolutely the nicest place we have stayed in and would happily return.
Arh thank you, it was lovely to meet you both, and we hope to see you again. Don't leave it to long as you've taken the nice weather with you! Property Owner

"FANTASTIC! The cottage is a 5* home from home dwelling."
Immaculately presented with all fixtures and fittings of a high quality. I have never been in such a well presented holiday home. The owner, Becky, has thought of and provided everything including treats for the dog in the welcome pack and towels to dry them off in the porch. A personal welcome after we arrived ensured we had everything thing we needed and she even provided a tub of spread for our bread as I had left ours in the fridge. Looking forward to a return visit next year. Thank you Becky.
Thank you Robert really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"Thank you to Becky."
We had a really nice week at your lovely cottage. The cottage was clean and tidy and very peaceful which is what we were looking forward too. The owner Becky, was a very nice person and was interested in where we visited and gave us some ideas as to where there was some good walks with the dog. All in all it was a delightful week away. Thank you Becky and Steve
Thank you look forward to seeing you again Property Owner

"Lovely comfortable & clean cottage, lots of places nearby to visit i."
E. Lynton & Lynmouth, Minehead, blue anchor, porlock & porlock weir along with National trusts places such as Arlington court & one of which we combined with our trip back home
Thank you Anthony, we hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Very nice cottage and very pleasant owner who was willing to sort out any queries we had."
Gave us lots of information on places to visit we found very helpful. I suggest you follow her directions to get to the cottage, and don’t follow the sat nav when you’re near the cottage as we got lost but thankfully her partner came to get us to the cottage
Thank you Robert hopefully we will see you again Property Owner

"This is an excellent holiday cottage in a very beautiful yet remote position on the edge of Exmoor."
It has a lovely, secluded garden with beautiful views in every direction. It will not suit everyone as it takes at least 10 minutes to get to any main road through narrow country lanes. The nearest shop (1.6 miles) is open in the mornings only and there is no pub, contrary to Sykes listening. The friendly and helpful owners live close by. With private arrangement they allowed us to recharge our electric car from their electric supply. This greatly enhanced travelling on Exmoor where there are few charging points. The cottage is not easy to find after a long and tiring journey. We suggest the directions be revised. Message to Sykes: please change the formatting of your emails. Most people will use their smart phones to read emails from you, especially when they’re on holiday and your formatting is unnecessary fussy. Putting your message in a box does not help readability, just use simple email text.

"We had an exceptional Christmas staying at Elsworthy Farm cottage."
Becky was an incredible host: she met us and guided us back to the cottage as we arrived in the dark; the cottage was beautifully decorated for Christmas; we had a generous welcome hamper on arrival; and we always had plenty of wood to enjoy the rainy days spent by the fire. The kitchen was also perfectly equipped, enabling us to cook a full roast for Christmas lunch! We have also quite literally never stayed somewhere as clean as Elsworthy Farm Cottage. There wasn’t a speck of dust or cobweb in sight! The valley the cottage sits in is very picturesque, with an outlook from the property of the sheep grazing in the nearby fields and, if you’re lucky, wild deer wandering the paddocks. It was only a 15 minute drive into Minehead whenever anything was needed from the supermarket; and the beautiful villages of Dunster and Porlock was also only a short drive away. We couldn’t have been happier to spend Christmas here and hope to come back soon.
Hi Ellen, thank you we're really pleased you enjoyed your stay with it was lovely meeting you all, and look forward to hopefully seeing you again soon. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved our stay in Ellsworth cottage , from start to finish."
Our outlaws needed a break in a peaceful cottage that was comfortable and easy to get around as both in their 80’s. Cottage is well furnished, lovely pictures, well equipped kitchen, lush wood burner . The setting in the countryside was great with local dear in adjacent field, lots of dog walks. Welcome pack was great and Becky and her helpers were brilliant nothing was too much trouble. We will return!!

"Cottage was outstanding, one of the best we've stayed in, fantastic views across the Exmoor countryside, if not a bit of a challenge to find."
Becky was very friendly and helpful and the apples and tomatoes she gave us were lovely, as were the nice touches of the scones and flowers she left for us upon arrival .The beds were very comfy and roomy and all the rooms were spacious, light and airy, the wood burning stove easy to light and nice and cosy for the evening. Would like to return.
Thank you Daphne lively to meet you and hope you can return to us soon. Property Owner

"Ellsworthy Cottage is fantastic…."
.once you have found it! (More to follow). The cottage is so quiet and peaceful with a great view over the fields. Becky (the owner) is so friendly and even brought us some tomatoes from her plants. We were very lucky with the weather so spent loads of time chilling outside. Our 2 Yorkies spent most of the time exploring the garden. Getting to it was a challenge…..do not use Google maps as it will try to take you down a bridle path! Overall I would highly recommend.
Hi Chris thank you sorry about you having trouble finding us! We very much enjoyed having you and your 2 beautiful yorkies stay hopefully see you again . Property Owner

"Lovely accommodation - clean and included lots of toiletries to keep is going for the whole stay."
Beautiful peaceful garden - the views were amazing. Ideal for walkers or anyone wanting to go to the beach. The owners we're so friendly and welcoming - we got the pleasure of meeting their very well behaved dogs. Can't wait to go back !
Thank you Belinda it was lovely meeting you all , we hope you can visit again soon. X Property Owner

"Lovely location with a beautiful garden."
Everything was as described and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. Whilst it is a fair way down some long narrow lanes, it is well worth the drive for the views and quiet location. Both TV have streaming services and the Wi-Fi was good.
Thank you Jeremy we do hope you can come again Property Owner

"This cottage is absolutely beautiful."
It is located in the most tranquil and remote location so if you are after a peaceful time away this for sure is the place to come. Lovely clean and very well equipped with all the essentials you need. On arrival, we had some scones, jam and cream to enjoy including some treats for our dog.....nice touch! Becky was a great host and is very friendly. Upon leaving, she offered us some runnerbeans, tomatoes, figs and some fruit from her garden ....which we of course gladly accepted. Mulberries were amazing! The most enjoyable part of our stay after number of walks and runs we did when exploring the area was sitting down in the garden enjoying glass or two of wine and admiring the unspoilt views across the valley. Would love to visit again!
Thank you Marcela it was really lovely meeting you and I hope you can come again soon . Property Owner
