"A really lovely holiday cottage, warm, comfortable, cosy and clean."
Lemon drizzle cake was smashing - thanks Vicky. Despite quite a wet week, we found plenty to do with some bird watching on the Somerset Levels and a visit to Wells Cathedral, Tyntesfield and the West Somerset Railway all good. Julie & Ken
Thank you for your kind feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. So sorry about the awful wet weather! Property Owner

"My wife and I felt that this cottage was one of the best we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many Sykes Cottages."
It was perfectly clean, and the owners were very helpful, and dealt swiftly with any issues (eg the TV developed a fault and was immediately replaced)The cottage was beautifully decorated.The WiFi was excellent! It was easy to control the temperature inside the cottage, and easy to work the fabulous shower, and also the appliances in the kitchen.There was a folder giving full instructions for everything.The countryside around the cottage is stunning, and the owners made available a large number of books, maps etc of walks and places to visit.There was also a huge library of books. Anybody booking this cottage for a holiday will have a very comfortable and stress-free stay.
Thank you for your most kind feedback so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"A very comfortable and cosy cottage, and well equipped."
The log burner helped to make lovely relaxing, peaceful evenings. We really enjoyed our stay with walks onto the Somerset levels from the door as well as being well placed for day trips to local towns and attractions. Lovely lemon drizzle cake too.

"Vicky was always available for any queries, had left us a most yummy lemon drizzle homemade cake and some milk."
The cottage was tastefully done and had everything one would need. The log burner added an even greater ambiance to the place and my daughters and I had a most wonderful holiday. Lots of amazing scenery within half an hour to an hour drive including the Cheddar gorges, Brean fort, Dunster Castle NT and the smallest and quaintest city in England!! All worth a visit. Thank you Vicky x
Leena it was so lovely to meet you and your girls, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for your kind feedback, hope to see you again some day. Best wishes Vicky Property Owner

"A lovely well equipped cottage in a peaceful location and yet ideally positioned for exploring the area."
The cottage was clean and the atmosphere welcoming. The beds were comfortable with the linen being nice and fresh. The bathroom had a very nice shower with all the other facilities being user friendly. The parking was excellent with lots of space. The owners were friendly and kindly left some cake for us. So all in all an excellent property which we would be more than happy to stay at again.
Thank you for your very kind feedback so glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Vicky and John Property Owner

"A fantastic bolt hole in rural Somerset."
Very quiet, very clean and well placed for the A39 which connects so much of that part of the county. Hosts made me very welcome, and were also very unobtrusive.
-
"This charming cottage is extremely comfortable and located in a peaceful, rural setting."
The owners were most pleasant and we appreciated the delicious cake on arrival. Although there is no washing machine in the actual cottage which would have been a bonus, we were aware of this from the description and also that the owner would be happy to do laundry upon request. Facilities in the kitchen are excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the use of a private garden after a day of sightseeing. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return at some time.

"My daughter and me had a wonderful stay at Drovers Cottage."
Vicky was so welcoming and even bought over some games and books for my little girl. We really appreciated the lemon drizzle cake and milk. Thank you so much. The cottage and garden were perfect and Erin loved playing with Mouse, the lovely friendly cat. We went to Wookey Hole, Burnham on Sea and Minehead and the Glastonbury Tor. We would most definitely return and recommend this property for a relaxing break. X

"'Drovers' is a comfortable and peaceful place to stay."
I liked the subtle use of colour in the property and the pictures and prints on the walls. The bed was very comfortable, with good quality bedding. I appreciated that it could be split into twin beds, on request, since I was staying with my daughter. There is an excellent walk direct from the cottage onto the Somerset Levels. I would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Extremely comfortable accommodation, easily accessible to a variety of interesting locations in Somerset and some good walks on the levels from the cottage itself."
Owners could not be more helpful, my second stay here and I will certainly stay here again.
Thank you Paul for your kind feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Best wishes Vicky and John Property Owner

"Lovely, comfortable cottage with all the facilities necessary for a week’s break."
The owners were very friendly and available if necessary. Cottage is a little bit out of the way but is well placed for exploring the area. Wells is, of course, beautiful and Glastonbury, well, ‘far out!’ But still worth a visit for the experience.
Thank you Rod for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Vicky and John Property Owner

"The owners were very welcoming and the cottage was very nice."
The welcome biscuits etc were a nice touch. The cottage would benefit from having its own washing machine in it, the owner said she would use her own washing machine to wash our clothing but I found that unacceptable so took twelve days washing home with me. Having to ask to borrow a dvd from the owners list provided seemed odd, in the past when we’ve stayed in previous properties the dvds or cds have been left in the cottage for the holiday maker to use at will. Found this most unusual! Enjoyed our stay and it served it’s purpose for the R and R we required.
I'm disappointed to see your feedback as we make every effort to ensure our guests have a lovely stay. I take great care to clean thoroughly, and have always received great feedback. It's a shame we weren't able to fit a washing machine into our cottage I agree, but this is clearly detailed in our listing. Due to size constraints we had to choose between a dishwasher or a washing machine, we felt that a dishwasher would be more useful and I have on many occasions done washing for our guests at no charge. Our facilities are accurately and honestly listed so I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding. Regarding DVDs and CDs, I have been advised that I would be in breach of copyright legislation if I were to leave DVDs and CDs in the cottage hence the arrangement. Property Owner

Our best ever self catering holiday property we've stayed at! Tastefully decorated , good quality comfortable beds and bedding. So peaceful as well. Brilliant location for exploring the levels, particularly by bike! Would definitely recommend.

"Lovely welcome with cake."
Extremely clean cottage and well kept gardens also beautiful surroundings. Great wood fire with all the firewood you need also an absolute privilege to be allowed to rob the orchard. Lovely family, cat and dogs. We would certainly return. Martin Mulligan.

"The property was immaculately clean and the owners were so helpful."
We brought our 7 month old baby with us and they thought of everything. They left us a cot, two different styles of high chair, toys and an inflatable baby bath. They even kindly gave us neurofen for him when he was struggling with teething. There was just about everything we could think of and there was a lovely garden to sit in.
-
"Like a home from home."
Great location, clean, cosy, warm, very well equipped and appointed, great space outside, wood provided for the woodburner, good communication from the hosts and a lovely lemon drizzle cake to welcome. Couldn't ask for more
-
"Beautiful and relaxing cottage that was home from home."
My wife and I went with our two year old and we had such a lovely time. The owner Vicky was so helpful and welcoming and was there when you needed but left us to ourselves and gave us the complete break that we much needed. The weather wasn’t great but it made no difference to us as the cottage and surroundings made it so comfortable. It has everything you need, including a lovely little log burner for those chillier nights and a lovely garden opposite for when the sun does come out. The bed was extremely comfortable and the decor of the cottage made it feel so clean and cosy. When we did venture out we found things to do including Wookey Hole, Glastonbury Tor and Clarke’s shopping village. Plus a couple of lovely local walks. All in all a fantastic break and we can’t wait to come back! Thanks Vicky!

"Everything about this cottage was just perfect."
From the minute we arrived after a long journey we felt at home, this continued throughout our stay. A really well thought out and executed little hideaway that was just perfect. We have stayed in many holiday cottages and often thought them good but this one simply out shone all the rest. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
-
"Everything we wanted for a getaway in the country, to have a much needed quiet Christmas."
The tree was decorated, a lovely cake awaited our arrival as well as the log fire. Such a warm, cosy and clean cottage, and Vicky and John were so friendly. Would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to recharge their batteries, and your not too far from places to visit. Thankyou for all the lovely touches and the loan if your friendly cat

"Excellent welcome from the owner, who even made us cake and left fresh blackberries at the door one day."
Very well placed for walks from the door out to the Levels. And blissfully quiet!
-
"Lovely being able to go for walks from the front door."
Also to be able to catch the bus into Street.
-
"Frendly cat called mouse likes to make its self at home"
-
"One of the loveliest places we have stayed on holiday."
It was very rural and consequently very quiet. The only sounds came from the birds and the sheep. The cottage itself was excellent - plenty of room for 2 people, very clean and it had everything we could possibly need. The provision of fresh flowers and some home baking just topped it all off.
-
"Drovers Cottage is located in a beautiful location within easy reach of all towns and attractions."
For a peaceful week in beatiful unspoilt countryside this is the place.The cottage itself is well equipped and very clean.Its worth staying at the cottage just for the wonderful super king size bed.The owners,Vicky and John were very friendly and welcoming without being obtrusive.Already planning to return next year.
-
"A comfortable well stocked property in a very quiet location."
Facilities easily obtained within a few miles from the property. Lovely walking area.
-
"Drovers Cottage exceeded all our expectations."
This was by far the cleanest most comfortable and well equipped cottage we have stayed in so far. The area was so peaceful and my husband fully enjoyed cycling the quiet country lanes straight from our door. We would definitely come back. Vicky and John were the perfect hosts extremely friendly but discreet. Thank you for a wonderful break.
-
"The owners were pleasant and helpful but discreet."
The cottage was very clean, tidy and well set up. Nice pictures on the walls. Lots of books and small touches like fresh garden flowers and also there was cake when we arrived. It was too warm for the wood burner but I imagine it would be nice and warm for a winter hideaway and there is a private garden where we sat in the autumn sun.
-
"A lovely, comfortable, cosy and homely cottage in such a peaceful location."
We were made very welcome by Vicky and John and really enjoyed staying in this idyllic location. It was very clean and delightful to stay in with such a comfortable bed and oh, so quiet. The private cottage garden was very relaxing and peaceful to while away time in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Drovers Cottage.
-

Location ideal for accessing local towns and amenities. Silent at night. Cottage was kitted out with quality furnishings. It was spotlessley clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our hosts were lovely people, very friendly and helpful, eager to help if needed. Would happily go back and rent it again. One of the better cottages we have rented from you.

"The cottage was lovely, the best cottage I have booked."
Area perfect for relaxing, the furthest I went was to Brean Down as there was some much on the doorstep to do. Perfect
-
"I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Vicky and John, the owners of Drovers cottage."
Their customer service is exceptional and their property is immaculate. I would describe it as a home away from home. Cosy, comfortable, charming, welcoming and equipped with all you would need for a weekend stay all the way through to a 2 week stay and more. Its the little touches that make the difference, like a home baked cake left in the kitchen for your arrival. I cant recommend this property enough!!! A real gem! :-)
-
"The photographs did not do this cottage justice."
Everything in the cottage was of the highest quality, The location was superb, tranquil settings but close to lots of attractions. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Home made cake in a tin, tea and coffee and fresh milk were waiting for us. Cannot fault this holiday home.

About the location
SUTTON MALLET
Bridgwater 6 miles; Glastonbury 10 miles.
The rural Somerset parish of Sutton Mallet can be found on the low lying land known as Sedgemoor on the Somerset Levels, nestling at the foot of the Polden Hills, six miles from the bustling town of Bridgwater. The Somerset Levels are an Area of Special Scientific Interest, a marshy area intersected by water channels which stretch from the Mendip Hills as far as Taunton, and are internationally renowned for wintering wildfowl and provide a habitat for numerous species of breeding birds. The flat landscape offers great cycling routes, with lovely walks to be had across the nearby nature reserves where you could be rewarded with a view of some rare bird species. The village makes an excellent touring base, with numerous attractions catering for all tastes within a short drive, including a shopaholics paradise at Clarks Shopping Village in Street, and mystical Glastonbury, famous for its Abbey, Tor, and annual music festival. Alternatively, visit the UK’s smallest city of Wells with its beautiful cathedral, the beaches at Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-Super-Mare, spooky Wookey Hole Caves, and Cheddar Gorge, as all are easily accessible. Sutton Mallet makes a peaceful, rural base for a relaxing, enjoyable holiday at any time of the year.
