“Absolutely wonderful cottage in a gorgeous location.”

We chose this place as it seemed central for us to explore and it was just perfect. Wells, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Bath,Bristol and Durdle Door where all within 90 minutes drive but most where within 60 minutes at most. If you are looking to explore the area this is the place to be. The cottage itself was perfect for us and had everything we needed. My only regret is we where so busy exploring we didn’t have time to fully enjoy it and the wonderful garden or bbq hut. Maybe this is ...

“Lovely cottage to stay in, very clean and comfortable.”

Had everything we needed and a great base for exploring Somerset. BBQ hut was fun and a nice outdoor space for kids to run around. Very quiet at night. Owners very friendly and helpful and would definitely recommend staying here and would be happy to go back.

“We had a lovely week.”

A clean and tidy cottage with everything we needed...apart from nice weather! Lovely gardens. Easy access to Cheddar, Wells, Wookey Hole, etc.

“Lovely cottage.”

Our two young girls really enjoyed the large grass space in front to play in, and the adjacent field occasionally had different animals which they loved to see. We enjoyed it because it really did feel like we were away from it all. The cottage is on a lane about 75yrs from the main road which meant it was easy to get out and about every day without any long lengths of single track road which you can sometimes end up on. Good location to get to Wells, Cheddar, Bath and the many other attractions in that corner of Somerset. And you're only 5-10 mins from Shepton Mallet which is well served with a couple of supermarkets. The interior of the cottage is well presented throughout and was spacious enough for our young family. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. We never got around to using the BBQ hut, but I can see that would be a good evening, possibly for an older group, to sit, relax and share a meal in the evening. Friendly owners. Would recommend.

“A lovely cottage set in a beautiful spot with really great hosts!”

What more could we ask for? It had it all, a well stocked kitchen, a cozy sitting room, comfy beds, and an amazing outdoor space! There was ample room inside for our family of five, and so well equipped too, our teenagers enjoyed the extra touches such as board games, books, DVD's including the amazing outdoor space complete with goals! The adults particularly enjoyed sitting outside taking in the view with a small refreshment, after a busy day exploring the surrounding area!

Mr Jones July 2019

“The property is very cleverly designed to optimise the use of space.”

It is bright, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The location is ideal as a centre for seeing many of the attractions of Somerset and Wiltshire.

“Lovely cottage in idyllic setting”

Fantastic find via Sykes Cottages. Owners Dave and Laraine very welcoming..cottage clean and well equipped for a self catering stay. Views of fields including Bramble the pig who likes to say hello and the farmers horses. Central to many places to visit. Wells has a lovely market on Saturdays and Wednesday. The cathedral and palace there also worth a visit. Close to Longleat and Wookey Hole. Definitely recommend. The fact that the children could run freely outside safely whilst we could watch either from inside or the decking is lovely. Family friendly in every way. Videos toys and board games included. Tv and Wi-Fi available in each room. Also has a bbq hut.

“This place is so lovely.”

We could not fault it. The actual cottage exceeded our expectations. The views are lovely and the sunsets are beautiful. it is quiet and the owners are easy to talk to. The location is great we were never that far from somewhere we wanted to visit.

A great touring base, there are numerous attractions within an easy drive of the barns, catering for all tastes and ages, ranging from picturesque Wells, England’s smallest city, with its stunning cathedral.

Golfing parties will love the variety on offer with four 18-hole golf courses within ten miles of the cottages. You’ll certainly return home refreshed after a stay in this wonderful Somerset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These charming and comfortable holiday cottages can be enjoyed at any time of the year.

Outside there’s a private undercover decking area where you can relax and take in the fresh Somerset air.

Fire up a barbecue all year round whatever the weather either in the barbecue hut or alfresco on the covered decking.

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.
