“On arrival, the recycling bin (situated at the front gate) was overflowing with items on the path (we appreciate that waste collections are out of owners control) but this was not a great impression.”

Overall we found the cottage unwelcoming; the decor looks very dated and tired. Floor furnishings had seen ‘better days’.....particularly the bath and toilet mats. The bedroom door of the twin room was not attached to the doorframe at the top hinge, so moving the door was precarious ......not an acceptable standard. Unfortunately, our overall impression of the cottage was that it did not feel clean. The local pub, within 10mins walking distance was the saving grace.....welcoming staff and great food. Dog friendly as well.

“A lovely quirky cottage in a small Somerset village.”

We loved staying there. Really enjoyed the log fires, the quietness and darkness of the village at night, great walks and the Red Lion pub just up the road. The cottage is very small, (I banged my head 3 times) and the stairs extremely steep. It is tired and desperately needs redecorating.

“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.
