“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 The photos that you have for this cottage is so out of date.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 ...

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 The photos that you have for this cottage is so out of date.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.

“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.

“This is our second time at woodforde cottage, it is a cosy and delightful character cottage.”

The village of Babcary is scenic and very quiet and peaceful. In Babcary there are wonderful wildflower meadows these are a 10 mins walk from the cottage. Flowers are out in the summer but it is still great to have walk there, we never met anyone on the walks and went in September and March. The local Inn Red Lion serves delicious food and is a traditional and elegant inn. We have both enjoyed our stay and our dog has too, at this quaint cottage. The cottage has all the necessary essentials and a delightful front garden where all the wild birds visit to feed on the bird feeders. We always ensure we leave seed and peanuts for the next visitors as previous visitors have done. Glastonbury is half hour drive, RSPB Hamwall 1/2 hour, Glenda Spooner 15 mins and Chesil beach a little further. These are a few super places to visit. It is a central location to visit most attractions that Somerset has to offer and further afield.

“Good location for exploring Somerset and Dorset.”

Good local pub a short walk away. Nice character cottage with well equipped kitchen.

“Very nice cottage, Great location but can do with a shower.”

“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

“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.
