“Excellent cottage, peace and quiet was promised and we were not disappointed.”

The owner was an excellent host and was very helpful. This is an honest, warm, down to earth country retreat that met our needs and was very comfortable. we would be happy to go again as we enjoyed the country views.

“Lovely well-appointed cottage.”

Would certainly recommend

- Mrs Quarterman, September 2019
“We were infested with flies, cooker in the kitchen was filthy, WiFi was advertised but you had to sit in the conservatory in the corner to pick up a weak signal from the router next door!”

The cottage itself is very tired and in need of a refurbish to come up to previous properties we have stayed in. Very disappointed.

- Mrs Potter, September 2019
“Lovely cottage, with a beautiful view.”

Very comfortable, spacious and well supplied. Could not fault it.

- Mr & Mrs Scott, September 2019
“The cottage was really lovely and the hosts exceeded expectations with lots of nice little touches that made everything so much nicer.”

A great little cottage in a super peaceful little village. Very highly recommended.

- Mr Keen, August 2019
“Comfortably furnished cottage set in a quintessential English countryside location.”

This is a perfect retreat for exploring Somerset and Wiltshire with a great country pub in short walking distance for good food and drink. If you have a dog then they will love the space they have in the garden and a field immediately to the rear of the cottage. I cannot stress enough that the cottage is even better than the photos on the website.

- Mr Wheeler, July 2019
“Acorn cottage was the ideal location for us to visit the Somerset attractions such as Stourhead House and Gardens.”

We could see King Alfreds Tower from the Cottage. The cottage had everything we needed, it was comfortable, clean and the village is stunning. The Owner was welcoming. It was so peaceful and we are both going home very relaxed.

- Ms Williams, June 2019
“It was so peaceful we came home very relaxed.”

Good base for visiting many places and even heavy rain couldn't spoil it.

- Mr Pattenden, June 2019
“Stunning views from the cottage very well equipped the new reclining chairs are ...”

Stunning views from the cottage very well equipped the new reclining chairs are fabulous linen was wonderfully clean the two televisions were an adequate size you don't need to watch the telly with the views the owner was so helpful and pleasant we had a very pleasant and peaceful stay as for anyone complaining about cleanliness it takes two minutes to wipe a little bit off dust it is the country your not paying for a maid service maybe I'm different I would have to keep my own house clean we would highly recommend this cottage thank you to the owner for a very relaxing break

- Mr Dixon, May 2019
“It was a nice peaceful cottage but was let down by dust, cobwebs, dirty splash back in the loo, grease on the light switches, and the sofa was so uncomfortable.”

On the plus side the bedding was spotless as were the towels. Good to have all you need in the kitchen as in t towels, washing up liquid etc. It just needs a good bottoming as my gran would have said.

- Mr Pratt, May 2019
“This was a wonderful location, very peaceful ,everything catered for in the cottage , a home from home!”

- Mrs Gooday, May 2019
“Acorn Cottage is in a delightful setting overlooking fields with plenty of privacy.”

It is larger than it appears in the photos. The garden is dog proof which is a real bonus and they enjoyed walks in the fields. The Wi-fi was intermittent whilst we were there, probably due to the weather. The cottage is lovely and warm, plenty of hot water too. The kitchen is nicely equipped with the added bonus of a dishwasher. The host was welcoming and friendly, and would have been easy to contact had we needed to. It is ideal for visiting Longleat Safari Park where we spent a couple of days and also Glastonbury. We were a party of 4 adults and had plenty of room, the conservatory is particularly nice for enjoying a cup of coffee in the sunshine. If we are back in the area we would certainly love to stay again.

- Mrs Herbert, April 2019
“A little on the shabby side but nonetheless cozy.”

- Mrs Bright, December 2018
“The owner was lovely and helpful.”

The house was so well equipped and clean and tidy. The only bad thing was the chairs in the sitting room was not comfortable but they have a t.v in the bedroom and the bed was so large and comfortable. The owner has now made the garden inclosed s ideal if you have a dog like we do. I will be booking this cottage again and would recommend it to everyone. A very enjoyable holiday with plenty of attractions near by.

- Mrs Bridges, October 2018
“Great area, lots to see and good walks, quiet and peaceful setting.”

David a lovely host.

- Mr Ganey, September 2018
“The scenery from the cottage is amazing.”

The cottage lies in a very quiet, secluded area what gave us a lot of privacy. The owner of the cottage, David, is very friendly and he could give us some suggestions for trips. Our dog has really enjoyed the daily walks near Alfred's tower where you have endless footpaths. Our stay was 1 big succes and we'd love to come back!

- Mr Muhring, June 2018
“Adequate accommodation, although advertised as being for four, but only really big enough for two.”

The pub was shut all the time we were there and no shop within a mile. Nearest shop in Bruton. Ideal base for exploring the area. Fabulous views and very quiet. TV ridiculously small and lounge furniture not very comfortable. Garden not enclosed, there is a field out the back of the property the owner preferred dogs to only go round the edge of the field so if the dogs wanted to be in the garden, one of us had to be,to stop them disappearing into the long grass. Conservatory had wicker furniture which was not user friendly and the owner had put a heat deflector on the ceiling secured with masking tape and it was hanging off by the end of the week.

- Mrs Townsend, June 2018
“The only negative was the size of the television.”

A laptop size television is not on in this day and age and the bedroom tv was even smaller.

- Mr MUNDEN, June 2018
“Lovely welcome from the cottage owner.”

The location is quiet and secluded. It is a great area if you like walking and if you have a dog. Near to several places to visit including National Trust properties. The cottage contained all the things you need to self cater and had good quality linen and towels etc . You do not always get large bath sheets in a holiday rental! Would not hesitate to book here again.

- Mrs Chilcott, May 2018
“I have stayed in quite a few cottages using yours service but I must say Acorn cottage is the best equipped of all the ones I have rented.”

Its well equipped but in addition the provision of all the basic essential supplies makes a stay much easier for some one like me who is visiting from abroad and who doesn't arrive with washing powder; rubbish bags etc. Added to the sheer convenience, the location is superb and the bed very comfortable so I shall certainly be trying to book Acorn Cottage again on future visits.
