“One minor thing, would have been good to have had a few tea spoons.”

There was only one baby spoon.

There was only one baby spoon. As a nice gesture a,pint of milk would have been nice. All other cottages we have stayed they left one Would stay here again as very cosy Many thanks for a great quiet break

“The cottage was perfect, it was clean and homely.”

The only negative was the shower or lack of! The cottage location was good and we were able to visit lots of amazing places. The dogs enjoyed lots of new walks and enjoyed laying in the sun in the back yard of the cottage. I would definitely stay in this cottage again.

“Cottage was lovely.”

Shame not a shower [as partner struggled to get out of bath]
Mrs Clarke March 2019

“The house could do with decorating in places such as window frames, bits of ceiling, the gate and the front door to make it more appealing when going in.”
Mrs Evans January 2019

“Delightful cottage.”

Cosy, warm and well maintained. Obviously a much loved family home than a simple rental. Had a wonderful time with great walks which our springer spaniel loved. Nights in front of a roaring fire. What is there not too like. Sally, Mike and Bracken

“This is our 3rd visit to this cottage.”

It's a lovely cottage but over the 4yrs we have been it has gone down hill. Although inside is still clean the gardens have been left to run wild. The garden table had gone rusty with one of the legs broken and being held up by a flower pot with a rock inside . The photos that you have for this cottage is so out of date. On our first visit 4yrs ago the bottom stair was broken and it still is. Also my husband had to mend the front door lock. It's such a shame this lovely little cottage really is in need of some TLC. Will not be going back again.

“This was a clean comfortable and cool cottage for us and our huskies.”

The local area has many great walks and sights such as Ham Hill Country Park which is well worth a visit.

“Loved Woodforde Cottage and the little village it was in.”

The cottage was really clean and comfortable and it had everything we needed.
Mrs Rabbetts April 2018

“Very nice cottage and lots to do in the area.”

Lovely village location and helpful neighbours. Steep stairs could be an adventure coming down. Car parking limited but adequate. Great local pub restaurant.

“Quirky Retreat”

Lovely little cottage that takes you back in time. Just the 2 of us and our 2 dogs and we loved it. Everything you could want was there including broadband that was just great. Very clean and well equipped. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the lack of a shower but otherwise it would have had 5 stars without hesitation.It was so quirky and a welcome retreat after a busy day discovering new places. Well placed for National Trust properties and the Haynes Car Museum is a must. Would return anytime.

“Lovely spot, cosy cottage, great break”

Great little cottage, close to pub (good food, poor choice of beer) and well located for a good variety of days out. Owners were flexible and accommodating, the booking process was easy and the cottage had everything we needed.

“Fantastic Stay”

A Fantastic stay. A lovely cottage in a very nice and friendly village. Pub about 2 minutes walk away, and about 30 minutes walk to the nearest shop. Highly recommended
Ted Zealley June 2012

“Convenient and Cozy”

We found Babcary a great central point for visiting lots of places in Somerset, Dorset and eastern Devonshire. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Kitchen and bath have been upgraded although a shower attachment in the bath would be nice. The village is very picturesque and quiet.
