"Excellent barn conversion."
Well situated, Great walks with good local food. We had a great time and can thoroughly recommend it. We will definitely stay again when in the area.
We look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you for enjoying your stay in Crooks. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Crooks, it was small but perfectly formed, no expense was spared on the furnishings and fittings."
The only negative was there was no pub or shop within walking distance so had to rely on the use of the car
Hi Barbara thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We do have two dog friendly pubs just over a mile walk through the countryside and the villages 5 minutes drive away offer an array of local food shops and eateries. Property Owner

"Crooks was a perfect, cosy cottage ideal for a single person/ couple."
Great location as rural but easy access to motorway and 30 mins to beach. Spacious bedroom and bathroom and everything you'd require is provided. Ample off-road parking. Very quiet and a lovely peaceful weekend.
Thank you so much. We are so pleased you enjoyed a lovely peaceful weekend in this beautiful part of the Somerset Countryside. Property Owner

"Such a delightful cottage, comfortable, cosy and warm enough for us and our Border Collie."
The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for cooking and eating. After an active day out it was lovely to come back to the comfort of the cottage to chill and relax in front of the log burner, although we were lucky with the weather considering it was February and only used it a couple of times during our stay. The garden was perfect for our Collie being enclosed and safe and also for afternoon tea sat in the courtyard garden in the sun. Very handy for the 7 miles of beach at Brean and bigger supermarkets and so close to Cheddar Gorge and surrounding area. We would not hesitate to re-visit so we can explore some more. Thank you. Belinda and Andy
Thank you for choosing Crooks. I am pleased you have enjoyed your stay. I am sorry I didn’t get to meet you this time but hopefully we can welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"Really home from home."
Comfortable, easy to understand guidance notes and very snug. Great location for exploring on foot and a dog paradise. The hose outside for cleaning off the muck was a great consideration by owner. Highly recommend and we will return in 2025....
Great comments thank you for choosing Crooks for your stay. Property Owner

"I really enjoyed my stay in the lovely cottage."
I can't really add to what has been said before. My five night November stay was made even better by the dry, warmish weather. I had a good walk one morning to the top of Crook Peak with my cocker spaniel Sam. Wonderful views from the summit which is just over a mile from the cottage and 600 foot of ascent. I'm 82 so have a go. You'll enjoy it! Wouldn't hesitate to return. Plenty to see in the area. The coast is not far away.
You and Sam were amazing, thank you for choosing Crooks. Property Owner

"We enjoyed a great week in this beautiful, cosy little cottage with our 2 dogs."
The cottage is very well equipped and dog friendly with everything we could have needed during our stay. The welcome pack was gratefully received and the owners really have gone the extra mile with thoughtful touches like cosy throws and blankets, dog treats and an OS map of the area and lots of helpful information about places to visit locally and places to walk from the doorstep. The cottage is in a great location with lots of places to visit within about 15 miles so you don’t need to spend lots of time driving for a day out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again if we were in the area.
Thank you so much for your kind detailed review Property Owner

"Had a lovely 4 night stay at Crooks with our dog."
The cottage is utterly gorgeous, beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Perfect for a couple and their beagle. We really couldn’t fault it. Location is perfect for visiting the area. Had a bracing walk on Brean Beach. Arrive after 2.30pm and parking in the beach is half price. Also visited Cheddar Gorge and had a lovely walk round Cheddar reservoir. Shopped at The Ploughman’s Farm Shop just down the road which had everything we needed. Great for meat and fresh veg and local cider. We wish we had booked for a longer stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.
Thank you so much for enjoying your stay. Property Owner

"Crooks is a lovely little cottage, it was a perfect home away from home in beautiful, peaceful surroundings."
Tracey has put together a really helpful welcome pack about the cottage, places to visit, places to eat, local walks, as well as other useful info, she is also on hand if you have any queries. Crooks is in a good location for visiting Axbridge, Cheddar Gorge, Weston-Super-Mare, Wells, all of which worth a visit. The New Inn at Cross and The Lamb at Axbridge (best fish & chips I’ve had in a long time!) serve really good, homemade pub food and are dog friendly. A lot of careful thought has gone into Crooks, I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. I would highly recommend this property, our dog Jenny loved it too!
Wow Jenny I am over the moon with your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure hosting you all and I can absolutely agree with those fish and chips! Property Owner

"Beautiful compact cottage."
Fridge a bit small and no freezer is my only criticism. Lady who owns it very nice and very helpful. Very comfortable stay

"Crooks is a beautiful dog friendly cottage in a really good location ideal for exploring Somerset."

"Another fantastic stay!"
Cottage has recently been fully refurbished to a really high standard. It is cosy and comfortable, spotlessly clean and really thoughtfully equipped with everything you’d need. Fabulous location and even though this was our 4th stay, we found lots of new walks locally which was great. The dogs loved it too and having the enclosed space out front is a bonus for them. We absolutely love the area and will definitely be booking again
A pleasure welcoming you back to Dunnett Farm Cottages again and thrilled you and the dogs enjoyed our extensive refurbishment. Thank you Property Owner
-
"We absolutely loved our stay."
Crooks was comfortable, cosy, spotlessly clean and well equipped. We liked being able to walk, run and cycle straight from the property along the many paths, trails and quiet lanes. It was wet and muddy while we were there but Tracey very kindly let us keep our bikes in an outhouse, there was a hose available for washing muddy bikes and boots and we were very glad of the washing machine!
It was lovely to meet you both and I am so grateful that you enjoyed your stay in Crooks. Property Owner

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crooks."
Ideal for the two of us and perfect for our dog. Very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed. Bonus was fabulous weather so able to do lots of walking, great walks straight from the cottage. Wood burner looked good but didn’t use because of the warm weather. Thank you for the dog treats and also for ours.

"Our host was very welcoming and helpful."
We had a lovely break, walking in the area and "Crooks" was the perfect retreat. The cottage had all we needed and was extremely well laid out for 2 people. The welcoming touches were appreciated. We had our dogs with us and the outside shower tap was very useful after a long walk in the hills. Good pub food and tea shops in the surrounding area too. We hope to be back Carole

"Nice cottage in a good position."
Couple of things though the mattress is not pocket sprung so we rolled into one another and was so uncomfortable I had a back ache in mornings. We left a day early because of it. The pop plug on sink in bathroom did not pop up. We did not raise it as its too much trouble. Surely the previous clean would found this. Also dust on lamp shades.
Hi Jill, thanks for your comments, which we always appreciate and work harder to give a perfect experience for our guests. I was surprised though, that when I spoke to your husband on a couple of occasions he reported everything was fine. So I am sorry you had these issues. In the unlikely event of problems, we always try to sort them out as soon as we are made aware and hope future guests appreciate they can call on us. We have now purchased a new king size memory foam bed to hopefully cover all our guests comfort needs. Property Owner
-
"Lovely cottage great place to stay would recommend it as a great base to sightseeing all the main resorts ie W-S-M ."
CHEDDAR. etc are all less than 30 minutes drive. The only downside is the place needs a fridge/freezer and a good idea is a dvd player. 4.7
It was a pleasure meeting you and your dear dog. So pleased you found us in a great spot for all the Somerset sights. I will certainly consider your idea of a DVD but many guests use Netflix or Prime mostly and the smart TV accommodates these for guests subscriptions. The fridge does have a freezer compartment but I can appreciate for longer staying guests a larger freezer may be more convenient. Property Owner

"Had a fantastic stay in a beautiful cottage and surroundings, very peaceful and relaxing with lots to do within a few miles radius, my only slight issue was with the bed , although very comfortable mattress , was a bit small for us personally as we are both quite tall, other then that could not fault."
Thank you for your feedback, your comment regarding the bed has been useful and we now intend to replace with a king. Property Owner

"The cottage was lovely."
Very quaint. It was very peaceful and an ideal position for exploring the surrounding areas. The only downside was the lack of privacy as the small garden was by the gate in and there was a window at the side which was by the bins so we kept the curtains closed which made it very dark.
It was lovely to meet you. We are so grateful for your comment regarding the bins and these have been relocated. Property Owner
-
"Fantastic cottage, quiet, comfortable and perfect position for long walks and local attractions."
We will def be back again hopefully in the near future. Great welcome pack and facilities. Thankyou Tracey.

"Crooks is a very cosy cottage but not cramped because the space has been well designed."
Although attached to Wavering (the cottage next door which is also a holiday rent) we heard nothing through the walls, even though the couple renting Wavering had a dog. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities/equipment we needed. The key safe system worked well so we didn't actually meet our hosts. Crooks is set in a beautiful country area with an easily accessible end of the Mendips rising immediately behind the cottage. The road along the base of the hills runs immediately past the back of the cottage. There is very little traffic and you really don't hear it either inside the cottage or, indeed in the small garden seating area outside, so it is a very peaceful and quiet spot. Care is needed driving out of the property as the exit is onto a semi-blind bend in the road. We loved our stay and would recommend it for a quiet break in beautiful countryside. In colder months the woodburner would make the property even cosier (we didn't need it in late August/beginning September.
We are so pleased that your stay in Crooks cottage met all your expectations. Thank you for such a lovely detailed review. Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage in a great location."

"It was a lovely little cottage and it had lots of little homely touches."
The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was very practical, with tiled floors downstairs. The bedroom was lovely, with a comfy bed and a good shower. The only 2 things that I would have liked to be a little better were the quality of broadband as it was hard to watch streamed TV (I know this is hard when you live in the country) and the sofa was small which made it difficult to lounge around after a long walk with the dogs. But we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.
-
"We have stayed at Crooks Cottage and it's sister cottage next door."
We will do so again having booked again for September this year. A fantastic place to stay in a glorious county.

Dunnett Farm Cottages
A pair of charming, stone-built barn conversions sat on the fringes of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the idyllic village of Compton Bishop in Somerset.

All of the bedrooms rest under the sloping ceilings, they are well-presented and are accompanied by characterful antique furniture to create that traditional cottage feel. The Dunnett Farm Cottages also boast pleasant gravelled gardens to the front, with plenty of seating for you to sit with a drink or even enjoy some alfresco dining.

A delightful little town placed just outside of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Somerset. Axbridge boasts pretty little buildings and a fascinating history, it dates back to the reign of King Alfred the Great in the 9th century, the village is also home to the 15th century King John's Hunting Lodge which is now a National Trust museum. This picturesque village was in fact the location for the Thatcher's Cider Hot Air Balloon advert! In terms of facilities, Axbridge is home to one of the UK's smallest cinemas with a little over 30 seats, a choice of pubs, a shop and a delightful tearoom. The town also hosts a number of popular events, festivals and carnivals throughout the year which would be worth tying into your holiday! For you more active guests, visit the nearby Mendip Hills with its range of walking paths accompanied by astounding scenery, the Cheddar Resevoir also sits on the outskirts of the village and offers a good range of watersports for you to try. The delightful village of Cheddar is nearby and well worth visiting, especially for you cheese lovers. The seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare is also within easy reach if a day at the beach is what you're after.
