“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.

Mr Gannon February 2020

“Such a charming, cosy and warm cottage in a very pretty rural setting.”

We quickly made friends with the yard chickens and farm cats and had an altogether lovely holiday. Perfect for those wishing to escape city/town life.

Mrs Austin September 2019

“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.

Mr Cole August 2019

“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.

Mr Snaith July 2019

“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.

“There is no shower, which we found we really missed!”

Otherwise we had a wonderful holiday in a part of the country that is often overlooked.

- Mrs Smith, October 2018
Mr Watkins October 2018

“The cottage was a delightful conversion in a quiet location surrounded by superb walks and gorgeous countryside.”

The sky was un touched by light pollution, the owners were welcoming and friendly.

Miss Smith February 2018

“The couple who rent out the cottage are lovely, we got snowed in and they were very helpful.”

- Miss Smith, February 2018
Mr Egginton February 2018

“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.

- Mr Egginton, February 2018
Mrs Gregory December 2017

“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.

- Mrs Gregory, December 2017
Mr Pickard September 2017

“We really enjoyed our holiday at the Dairy in Bicknoller.”

Situated in a very tranquil location on a working farm, we found it very relaxing and an ideal place to explore Somerset from. The cottage was comfortable and quirky and the owners very friendly and we would definitely go back there again. Al in all a good experience.

- Mr Pickard, September 2017
Mrs Hall August 2017

“We rented The Dairy for one week, it was a lovely cottage on a farm, the kids loved the chickens and cats that roamed outside (and invaded the house).”

The farmer's family were friendly and helpful. A very rural area, perfect for kids.

- Mrs Hall, August 2017
Mr Small May 2017

Meadowsweet Farm Cottages

Bicknoller 1 mile. Meadowsweet Farm Cottages are set adjacent to an attractive 15th century farmhouse, in a delightful peaceful rural position one mile from Bicknoller Village. The cottages are close to the beautiful Quantock Hills in North Somerset and only 5 miles from the spectacular coastline. These stunning converted farm buildings, close to the mill stream and set within 30 acres of working farmland, offer a unique farm stay for families and groups of friends, with views of the West Somerset steam trains, green meadows and lush woodland to wander into and chickens, lambs and ponies for children to admire. All four cottages have retained their interesting features such as exposed rustic oak beams, stone walls and wooden floors but have been well furnished to provide a comfy, cosy farm cottage with a friendly welcome from the owners who are only too happy to share their rural life with guests. They would be delighted to introduce you to the friendly farm cats, and encourage you to collect and buy fresh hen eggs and other items for a tasty farmhouse breakfast. The cottages are dog friendly and guests are free to wander the farm meadows and woodlands with their pets, or relax alongside the stream and listen to the plentiful birds, especially the arrival of the swallows in Spring. Within a mile is the pretty village of Bicknoller, nestling on the slopes of the Quantock Hills and having a useful village shop, a welcoming pub serving local food and ales, plus footpaths leading up into the hills with breathtaking views of the surrounding unspoilt countryside that inspired the famous poets Coleridge and Wordsworth. The Coleridge Way, a 36-mile footpath, follows in their footsteps all the way to Porlock on the coast and provides some stunning walks where you may possibly spot the native red deer that roam the hills. There are some fabulous beaches just 5 miles from the cottages, such as Blue Anchor which is dog friendly or Watchet which also has a pretty harbour and interesting shops. These Somerset cottages offer a chance to stay in a historic property with a choice of fine inland scenery and a dramatic coastline.

The property
