Mr Smales
June 2021

“Everyone had a brilliant stay and the cottage is very nice in itself.”

The barbecue hut is a very nice feature.

The barbecue hut is a very nice feature. One small note: the toilet is very fickle in what it will and won't except and I'm just talking bodily waste here.

- Mr Smales, June 2021
Mr Wilkinson April 2021

“Lovely little cottage, well equiped, comfortable, clean and warm.”

We had a fantstic holiday just as the COVID lockdown was lifting, managed to eat outside most days and reached Stonehenge (1 hours drive) to have the site to ourselves, we shall not gat that chance again soon.

- Mr Wilkinson, April 2021
Mr Forshaw December 2020

“Comfortable and cost for a short break.”

We enjoyed our stay very much. I bet it's even better in the summer. There are lots of good local walks. Round the quarry, but better, up to Maesbury Castle for views over the levels

Dr Young September 2019

“David and Lorraine were delightful ‘hosts’.”

Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was very well equipped and everything was of the highest standards. The situation was perfect , a shortish walk down country lanes to both the local pub and village shop. Finally , we must mention our little friend Bertie who ran to greet us each day with a little bark and the ‘locals’ who were exceptionally friendly. Highly recommended.

- Dr Young, September 2019
Mr Collins June 2019

“The cottage was perfect.”

Clean and tidy, uncluttered and easy to live in. The owners are friendly, available and welcoming. Great place to stay for a week away either relaxing or visiting the local attractions. Highly recommended.

Mr Scott November 2018

“Craft cottage was everything we expected and more.”

We tend to eat in and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to create our meals. Bed and bedded was spotless and really comfortable. Perfect location for exploring the area without having to travel long distances. Shepton Mallet, few mins drive for all the necessary supplies. Very friendly, helpful owners. Thank you.

- Mr Scott, November 2018
Mrs Norman July 2018

“We had a lovely holiday at Croft ; a charming cottage in a beautiful tranquil setting.”

There are many interesting places to visit within easy reach , and a good choice of places to dine out. The owners are close by if you have any queries, and are very helpful. We attended Priddy folk festival during our stay which was excellent and within easy reach.

“We had a lovely week at Croft Cottage.”

Owners were on hand if you had any queries and were very helpful, but also left you to enjoy the beautiful area in peace and quiet. Wonderful touring base, lovely cottage, would throughly recommend and we look forward to returning.

- Mrs Page, June 2018
Mrs Noble March 2018

“Had a lovely time at Croft Cottage and the owners were lovely and helpful.”

It was a little cold and so would benefit from a fire or something in the front room and bedrooms to heat better and supply blankets for those chilly nights. The barbecue hut was great too and a fabulous asset to the holiday. Would definitely come back. Kids loved it too.

- Mrs Noble, March 2018
Mr Clarke December 2017

“Really quaint barn in a beautiful rural setting in close proximity to Bath, Wells, Glasto etc.”

Kids loved the mezzanine and piggy in the field Thank you for a nice last minute break Chris

- Mr Clarke, December 2017
Mrs Mcgregor December 2017

“Lovely welcome from the owners.”

They even decorated the property for our Christmas stay and provided extra dishes etc. Might be better not to advertise the property as having WiFi, as it was very intermittent. Otherwise a wonderful stay. Thank you

“We had a great holiday in this cottage, perfect for a family of four, the children loved the mezzanine bedroom.”

We found the cottage cosy and comfortable, the owners were very helpful with their local knowledge. The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring places in interest, everything we needed was within 20 miles, Wells, Cheddar, Street, Glastonbury and the beach at WSM. Would definitely use this cottage again.

About the location

GURNEY SLADE AND BINEGAR

Shepton Mallet 4 miles.

The twin Somerset villages of Gurney Slade and Binegar can be found just four miles north of Shepton Mallet nestling on the eastern edge of the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Well served by local inns and a well-stocked village shop and Post Office, the area also abounds in lovely walks which criss-cross the lush countryside. The nearby historic town of Shepton Mallet is a delightful mixture of old and new, with some wonderful old architecture and a weekly market, plus a variety of shops, pubs and eateries. This is a beautiful landscape, with unique places to visit and activities to suit everyone. The Royal Bath and West Showground, just south of Shepton Mallet is the site of one of Britain's major agricultural shows, held here annually in May/June, whilst many other events are staged regularly throughout the year. The area offers a superb touring base with an easy drive to Wells, Glastonbury and Bath, and many family attractions including Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves and East Somerset Railway are all also within a 45-minute drive. Then, after your day out exploring this lovely part of Somerset, why not treat yourselves to a glass of the scrumptious local cider! You'd be hard-pressed to find a better holiday base.
