  • "Kylemore is a lovely old house in an interesting town."

    The bathrooms are lovely and were very clean, and the kitchen is modern with adequate equipment, the skylights making it a nice space to eat and spend time in. Garden was a pretty place to sit in sun and have a drink. The bedrooms were all lovely, kids reported beds upstairs were comfy, especially the singles. We really loved the garden bedroom, huge, lovely bathroom, doors to garden and very comfortable bed. Not to mention the beautiful, blackout curtains that made for an amazing night's sleep. A few negatives though, we rent a cottage for it to be a home from home, this requires comfortable furniture to be so. The lounge has an ok sofa, but the rest of the chairs are very uncomfortable, and the old armchair with stuffing coming out was unappealing. Pillows could be a lot better. Games room was not really a games room, just a few odd chairs and a chest with a few games in, could be made much more useful. Bathrooms and kitchen were nicely clean, but rest of house was just ok, could be cleaned better. Plastic chopping boards and utensils would be better so they can go through dishwasher and be properly clean. Wood is lovely, but never know if it's scrubbed well. The electric shower in double bedroom could not be used as it was either boiling or freezing. A welcome pack with milk and a few biscuits or something would have been much appreciated, especially as you cannot get in until 4pm. Although this sounds like a lot of negatives, we would recommend, the house has a nice atmosphere, we slept well, enjoyed time in the kitchen and had an all round fantastic holiday.

  • "The property was lovely and liked by the whole group."

    It is noisy, the slightest sound echoes. The central heating seemed confusing, we could not get the temperature up on Thursday. The green swivel chair in the sitting room is very unstable and dangerous. I toppled backwards and had to be helped up. Some sort of felt pads on the feet of the kitchen chairs would reduce the noise significantly. I'm sorry if I seem to be moaning a lot, this is meant as constructual criticism not as complaints. Overall we found the cottage lovely and would return. Glastonbury on the other hand could do something about the dog fouling problem.

  • "Great property, with excellent facilities; two fridges, boiling hot water on tap etc."

    kitchen very well equipped with crockery, glasses etc. A couple more big saucepans would have been useful when cooking for 8, but this is a very minor point. Wood burner and record player made for a lovely lounge and bedrooms also comfortable with good bathrooms. Well situated and dog friendly. Spotlessly clean. Thanks

    Thank you for the wonderful feedback! So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

About the location

GLASTONBURY

Wells 6 miles.

The town of Glastonbury dates back over 4000 years, and has always been associated with legends, mysticism and folklore, with links to the Holy Grail, King Arthur and Ley Lines. Today, the attractive town, well known for its music festival, is a centre for religious tourism and pilgrimage, offering a wealth of fascinating shops and businesses supporting these ideals. Located on the Somerset Levels, views across the town are dominated by the world famous Glastonbury Tor, with its enigmatic tower, now managed by the National Trust. Within the town, the ruined abbey offers a fascinating experience, brimming with ancient atmosphere, peace and tranquillity. The Somerset Levels provide acres of unspoilt wetlands, a haven for bird life. Alternatively, explore Wells, England’s smallest city, Wookey Hole, or scenic Cheddar Gorge. A vibrant and exciting holiday destination at any time of the year.
