“The farmhouse is fabulous.”

. plenty of space, a great location and really well equipped. As it was Christmas, there was a lovely decorated Christmas tree waiting for us and the house was really warm and welcoming. Just a few of things that would have really made a difference. We had allocated the single room to my 88 yr old mother. Unfortunately this bedroom was a real let down. The mattress was very uncomfortable, there was no mirror, and nowhere for her to put her clothes. We ended up swapping a mattress from the twin ...

. plenty of space, a great location and really well equipped. As it was Christmas, there was a lovely decorated Christmas tree waiting for us and the house was really warm and welcoming. Just a few of things that would have really made a difference. We had allocated the single room to my 88 yr old mother. Unfortunately this bedroom was a real let down. The mattress was very uncomfortable, there was no mirror, and nowhere for her to put her clothes. We ended up swapping a mattress from the twin room for her to sleep on, however, the twin beds are very narrow (fine for children) but as an adult she still struggled, which was a real shame. The only other comments we would make is that none of the dinner plates fit the current dishwasher, they were all too tall so to clean them properly we had to do them by hand. There are no champagne glasses (I did check this beforehand as I had seen previous comments about it, so we brought our own). However, for Christmas celebrations or any other celebrations I think they should be supplied as standard, and there are ony 2 pint glasses and one set of cutlery. Apart from the above the kitchen was really well equipped with cookware and cooking utensils and the layout worked really well.

Thank you for your feed back. We're glad you had a great Christmas in Surridge Farmhouse. We have since replaced 3 mattresses in the property, thank you for letting us know. We have checked the dishwasher and can confirm that they do fit in the dishwasher, we do provide a number in the property for you to call if you encounter any problems. - Sykes owner relations

“We rented Surridge Farmhouse for a family celebration.”

2 families (1 with boys aged 14 & 10 and 1 with boys aged 12 & 2) plus our 80 year old Mum. The bedroom layout worked extremely well. The size of the house meant that the families had enough space and bathroom facilities. The living space was very generous and the TV room just off the living room allowed the children to hang out in their own space. The kitchen is large and well equipped. I would thoroughly recommend this farmhouse.

“We were a three generation group with a dog and Surridge Farmhouse provided ample accommodation for us all.”

The children enjoyed the games room and large walk-in cupboards to play/hide in and the use of a hot tub was an enjoyable bonus. The area is very beautiful and peaceful and we had a lovely walk from the house up to the fort with fabulous views at the top. The lanes are quite narrow however they were generally traffic-free so not really a problem.

Thank you for staying at Surridge Farmhouse and providing feed back. As the property is in the countryside the lanes will be narrower than the standard road, however isn't a problem for vehicles. We hope to see you again soon. Sykes owner relations

“Amazing holiday home away from all the hustle and bustle of city life.”

.... beautiful house and areas to walk.... driving on the country lanes bit difficult sometimes as it was wider than the road lol..... Family and dogs loved this property and would highly recommend

Thank you for providing feed back on your stay at Surridge Farmhouse, it is much appreciated. As the property is in the countryside the roads will be narrower than standard roads but won't be an issue for vehicles. Sykes owner relations

“The accommodation was excellent and suited us very well, however there was a lack of glasses, not enough wine glasses, bubbly glasses or water glasses for everyone.”

Also there were no hand towels in the downstairs toilets and the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived,it had a tab in but just hadn't been switched on........just minor really but it was a bit annoying not having enough glasses.

Thank you for your feed back. There is around 18 wine glasses and 20 tumblers in the property. There are now hand towels in the downstairs toilet. We have made the cleaning team aware of the dishwasher, thank you for letting us know. Sykes owner relations

“There were small issues as listed below There were a number of light bulbs needing replacement under the units in the kitchen which meant it was very dark for cooking I would have expected some milk to have been left as part of the essentials considering how far shops are from the property so that people can have a tea or coffee on arrival.”

The information asked us to check and treat the water in the spa but the testing and treatment equipment were empty and there was no help available from the housekeeper who told us the spa maintenance person was on holiday . There was no wifi available during our stay despite being advertised , again the housekeeper was unable to help us and it seems that a bill had not been paid. There were not enough towels in my opinion for the week forcing us to wash and tumble dry the one large and one small towel we had each, not something I wanted to spend my time doing. However it is a lovely old farmhouse in a delightful secluded position and we did enjoy our stay.

Thank you for your feed back. We have replaced the bulbs under the units of the kitchen, thank you for letting us know. We provide a welcome pack in the property for when guests arrive. There is a number in the property to call if there are any problems during your stay. The WiFi in the property has been fixed. More towels can be requested by calling the number left in the property.

“Although quite remote with lots of single track roads to negotiate you would be hard pushed to find a better equipped holiday cottage.”
Mrs Martin June 2018

“Surridge farm is a stunning old farmhouse in wonderful English countryside we had good weather and enjoyed BBQ and eating al fresco And ofcourse the hot tub!”

Beds very comfy and lovely white bed linen and towels .... This didn’t spoil our holiday one bit but a few things do need replacing the outside table and seat . Overall an enjoyable weekend

Thank you for your feed back. We are in the process of replacing the garden furniture and will be completed in 2019. Sykes owner relations

“Surridge Farmhouse is a beautiful house set in a beautiful location.”

It’s one of the best equipped houses we have rented and was extremely clean. There were a couple of issues which were beyond the control of the owner who dealt with everything as quickly as possible and kept us up to date so we couldn’t ask for anything more. We had a fabulous stay and would definitely go back. The only thing which would have been nice would be a small welcome pack so we could have a cup of tea/ biscuit whilst we waited for our on line delivery to arrive after a long journey there.

Thank you for staying at Surridge Farmhouse. We provide a welcome pack for guests on arrival. Thank you for your feed back. Sykes owner relations

“The cottage is far better in real life, it was huge and really clean.”

We were able to check in early and also due to being snowed in part of the party were able to stay an extra night. The master bedroom and en suite is super special and the kitchen was well equipped with essentials which are always forgotten. Thank you so much for a great stay.

The property

At the foot of the quietly beautiful Brendon Hills and on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, near the small hamlet of Waterrow is Surridge Farmhouse.

This handsome, detached Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century, stylishly combines elegant modern living with original period features.

On the ground floor, you'll find a smart kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and additional conventional oven, an excellent dining room with wood burning stove and an enormous 29ft lounge with fireplaces at either end, traditional beamed ceilings and original window seats.

The games room with TV/DVD, bean bags, table football and air hockey is perfect for rainy days or just keeping the children occupied.

The original half-turn staircase leads up to five bedrooms; the enormous master double with lovely views and an en suite shower room, two smart doubles, a twin and a single room.

Two further bathrooms complete the accommodation.

Surridge Farmhouse sits in a ring fence of 80 acres of pasture and woodland with its own Iron Age Fort perfect for exploring, or perhaps relax in the illuminated six person hot tub on the large south facing patio whilst taking in the endless views across the surrounding countryside.

Whichever you choose you're sure to have a fantastic holiday in a truly peaceful spot.

About the location

WIVELISCOMBE

Taunton 11 miles.

Known affectionately as Wivey, this historic market town is set in wonderful surroundings on the edge of Exmoor, in the Brendon Hills. This is a perfect centre from which to set out on outdoor pursuits; from fishing for trout on the peaceful waters of Clatworthy Reservoir or Wimbleball Lake, horse-riding at a number of stables in the area or simply taking a long walk through the idyllic countryside on well-signed paths. There are several excellent independent shops in Wiveliscombe including an award-winning butcher, antique shops, a gunsmith and the well known Court House, a striking three-storey independent shop that attracts visitors from far afield. The village is half an hour's drive from North Somerset's beaches, such as Blue Anchor Bay and, as the gateway to the Brendon Hills and Exmoor, an ideal base for walking and other pursuits in one of Britain's loveliest National Parks. The picturesque Exmoor towns of Dulverton and Bampton are within driving distance. A perfect holiday destination - peace coupled with good facilities and leisure pursuits.
