Great location in a beautiful quiet village
Cottage really quaint
Lovely sitting out areas front and back
Bathroom could do with a hard floor rather than carpet as this smelt a bit
Garden could do with a tidy up
But we had a lovely week

"The cottage is an old house with a lot of lovely features."
It is well equipped and was clean enough when we went. The instructions for equipment etc were clear and useful, as often I’ve been places where you spend ages trying to figure out how to use things.
The bedroom with the twin rooms is small with two small beds that are not the best to sleep in. Parking is ok if you are only bring one car and I parked on the bit of space at the side of the bus stop, opposite the cottage.

"This a lovely cottage."
Cosy for three adults but may be a bit snug for four. The heating and hot water are a bit quirky but we quickly got used to the set up. The kitchen has everything you could need, the beds are comfortable and there are lots of interesting books. Looking at some earlier reviews: there were no signs of any cobwebs, the fridge looks very new and was clear of ice and the information folder was easy to find. We can thoroughly recommend the pub in the village which is a short walk away and does fantastic food.

"Lovely little cottage."
Had everything you needed, beds clean and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with all the utensils you need. WiFi a bit iffy but considering where you are it’s to be expected. Can’t fault it, othan the welcome folder could do with being in plain sight! We didn’t find it till it was too late and missed recycling day. The recycling also needs to be made clearer for people from out of the area, there was loads when we got there that had not been collected cos it was all mixed up. I sorted thru it all and separated it all out but was too late to be collected and was no specific bin for glass. Other than that it was perfect.

"While this is a pleasant cottage in a nice village, there are some obvious problems."
First there is no clear parking space in what is a short narrow lane. The neighbouring residences have put driveways in their front gardens. No mention is made of this in the description of the let. Another serious problem is the plumbing. The hot water only works for a short time when filling the bath - it mysteriously stops and even more mysteriously, the cold water into the bath then stops too. Also, there is no shower. The kitchen sink almost always has no hot water at all. Also, the cottage shows signs of rather cursory upkeep. For example, the laundry basket was filled with dusters, dust pan and similar items, and had dirt in the bottom. Another example was the fridge freezer, which had not been defrosted for so long that we could not fit our icecream in it (it was a summer stay).

A few things that could improve are the cleanliness- cobwebs absolutely everywhere, pillows and quilt need either replacing or washing . There are no facilities to wash hair , this should be made clear .

"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.
We are so sorry our cottage failed to meet your expectations. It is
important to us that our guests enjoy our much loved cottage as much as
we do, and always endeavor to resolve any issues as soon as we are made
aware of them.
We have passed your feedback about cottage cleanliness on to the company
who prepare the cottage for us, and had a frank conversation with them
about standards. I can only apologise about the bedroom door. We have of
course now replaced the hinge, and explained to our caretakers the
importance of informing us of any maintenance issues so we can address
them as soon as possible.
So glad you enjoyed the pub! It's a great village amenity. Property Owner

"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.

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

"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 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.
