"The Dairy is in an idyllic location but its appearance is spoilt by the apparent casual dumping of old vehicles, white goods, etc."
within the farmyard.
A degree of refurbishment is required within the dairy, particularly the double mattress and the antiquated cooker.
Very pleasant and helpful owners.

"The cottage was dirty with very old appliances."
There was toothpaste all over the sink backsplash. There was dust everywhere. The cooker was something from the 1970s and the bedding and towels were very old and worn.
We give every owner the opportunity to rectify any issues during a guest's stay and the comments that you have made could easily have been rectified, if the owner had been notified.
Unfortunately, you did not contact the owner or Sykes during your stay and left the property without notifying anybody until you got home.
I can confirm that the towels were new for the start of the season and there have been no previous complaints regarding the bedding.
The owner wants all of her guests to have a great stay but if there is anything that a guest is unhappy with they only need to contact the owner for assistance, which she is more than happy to do. Property Owner

"This cottage has sloping floors downstairs, is fairly dim with small windows, and has a treacherous step between kitchen/diner and sitting areas."
Not unreasonable in a characterful conversion of an old building, but not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet or with poor eyesight.
The cottage is reasonably private (there are 4 units) inside but not outside. Sitting area is frequented by very friendly (pushy) chickens and cockerel.
The bath would not accommodate anyone very tall or broad.
We found the mattresses and pillows a bit uncomfortable.
On the plus side the ambience is charming and traditional, and visitors are free to explore the little farm.

"Very enjoyable stay in The Dairy which is full of character and original features."
The furnishings and decor are simple but within keeping with the style and period of the cottage. Beautiful setting and walks from the cottage. Loved the free roaming chickens, cats and lambs.

"Good location, easy to get out and about."
Quiet and picturesque farm. Loved the farm chickens and the friendly cats. Accommodation as described, missed a shower though and cooker is slow to warm up. Would recommend this holiday.

"It would have been good to have been informed about the narrow lane with no passing places leading to the farm beforehand in the write up information."
Plus not streetlights anywhere in the surrounding area. Fortunately we had torches with us that came in very handy. There was no DVD player in the property even though this was in the information write up but it did not course a problem for us but maybe for other people. We really enjoyed the unique old world charm of this rustic cottage. It was like going back to a more simple way of living away from the hustle and bustle of modern times.

"A lovely cottage for a week away with the kids and dog."
The kids had a great time playing with other children on the farm and there was dog walking from the front door. The cottage itself was full of charm but some of the facilities were a bit basic but did not impact on our enjoyment. Set in a lovely location and close to near by activities and places to go. Would definitely visit again.

"The cottage was quaint and situate with easy access."
There were many places to visit and the cottage was most comfortable to return to after a hot day. Everything lived up to expectation and we particularly liked the daily visit from the rooster and his chickens. They were both friendly and entertaining. Good access on the farm for dog walking.

"The cottage is in a lovely quiet location, set on a small working farm, nestling between the Brendon and Quantock hills."
Access to these hills is very quick and straight-forward, either by car, bike or walking.
The farm has 30 acres of fields and woodland which we were able to use. Chickens provided plenty of eggs too!
About 20 minutes drive north is the coast - Watchet or further to the west, Dunster beach.

"A wonderful place to stay."
Loved the cottage, having a fantastic Christmas break (very special.) Jackie and Gary (hosts) are very friendly and helpful people and made us feel very much at home. The cottage interior and facilities are fabulous and there are plenty of walking areas on the farm too. I certainly recommend this cottage to all and we certainly (the family) would consider staying again.
