  • "Joe and Jane welcomed us when we arrived and explained all aspects of the cottage."

    Recommended places to visit if we wanted and were on site if required. Home made cake and marmalade were left for us. If we come back to this area we would book cottage again as it is quite central to Somerset and the sites. Mike and Pat Thomas

    Thank you for your great feedback and for being our first guests for 2024! Best wishes, Joe & Jane Property Owner

    The property is immaculate with very good quality furniture and utensils. We were very comfortable in the lounge area with the log burning stove and had a lovely view of the countryside at the front of the property. It is in a perfect location with lots of interesting places within 20-30 minutes drive including: Glastonbury, Cheddar and Wells. We would highly recommend a stay at The Hide - Joe and Jane are the perfect hosts.

    Our hosts Jane & Joe (+ their lovely dog) were so friendly and helpful and everything in the cottage/bungalow was beautifully appointed. The kitchen was well equipped, 2 lovely comfy, squashy sofas, big comfy bed, good size TV and great bathroom. The whole property was spotless with everything needed for a great weeks stay, we cold not fault a thing. Really quiet location but convenient for so many places plus surrounded by some good pubs too. All this and a lovely private garden - what more could we ask for. We shall certainly be telling all of our friends about The Hide.

    What a wonderful review - thank you so much! It was lovely to meet you both and we are so pleased that you enjoyed both the cottage and the area we live in. Thank you for staying at The hide .Best wishes, Joe & Jane Property Owner

  • "This was a very clean and comfortable abode."

    Although we can understand the logic of a Friday change over, it is just about the worst day to travel with Friday traffic at its zenith. So, for purely personal reasons we would not go back there again. We will probably go on using Sykes Cottages, but not venture too far from home in the future.

    Many thanks for your review and we are sorry that your journey was so difficult. Try as we might, traffic (and weather) is beyond our control! Kind regards, Joe & Jane Property Owner

    Everything very clean and comfortable. We really liked how quiet and also private it was, with the large garden, patio and parking area just for our use. Local pubs within walking distance were nice and location is very close to all the reserves and cycle routes go right through the village. I spent a lovely few days cycling and exploring the levels.

    Thank you for the great feedback and we are so glad your enjoyed our little bit of Somerset. Hope to see you again. Best wishes, Joe & Jane Property Owner

  • "Fantastic property for a couple, very close to the A39 so easy to get anywhere quickly."

    The Hide was well equiped with a very comfortable super-king sized bed, and nice sofa's for relaxing at the end of the day. Wells, Glastonbury and Street are nearby, the Clarks outlet village in Street was a nice wander on Sunday with some bargains. Bristol is an hour up the M5. The Duck in Burtle was very good for Sunday lunch and an evening meal. The Spice Gallery in North Pemberton and the Thai Elephant in Street were both also excellent, so no shortage of good restaurants a short drive from the property. The owners were very friendly and helpful, definitely at the top end of holiday rental owners we have dealt with. Hoping to return at some point to continue exploring Somerset.

    What a fabulous review - thank you! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back . Best wishes - Joe & Jane Property Owner

  • "Overall we were very happy with the property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

    We were made to feel very welcome by the owners, with a few nice personal touches on arrival, which helped. The property is in a quiet location adjacent to the main house with its own covered private parking and spacious garden. Inside it is finished to a high standard, so is a pleasant place to relax and unwind, with a very nice view to the front. Nevertheless, there is a well stocked small supermarket a short walk away and three nice pubs serving food about 15-20 walk away. In the listing, I would just like to have seen more details of what was provided in the property. Consequently we took a few items that were actually provided, such as a hairdryer. However, I'm sure the owners Joe & Jane would be happy to answer any questions about the Hide in advance of booking or arrival. We won't hesitate to book again if we want to spend more time in the area and would certainly recommend the Hide to friends and family.

    It was lovely to meet you both and thank you for staying at The Hide. We welcome all feedback and very much appreciate your comments. We aim to be as accurate as possible in our description and the listing does only provide a summary rather than a detailed inventory. As you know from your own experience, we also contact our guests well in advance of arrival by text and email inviting questions. As property owners and hosts, we would rather over deliver and It is most unusual to have guests expressing disappointment at being provided with more than they expected! Thanks again & best wishes, Joe & Jane Property Owner
