“Lovely setting, cottage had every facility.”

Central for both coasts but an hour away at least. Lots of National Trust properties around but just beware that lots of very narrow country roads and due to position of cottage you are surrounded. However this does lead you to lovely little villages. We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and having a cottage means you don't even need to leave it you can chill in the lovely garden.

“Acorn cottage is in a lovely, quiet, countryside setting with wonderful views over the fields.”

The cottage itself is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break and is very tastefully decorated. It's the perfect base for sightseeing in the immediate vicinity and for traveling further afield to visit some of the lovely towns and attractions nearby. The cottage is dog friendly with a fully secure fence surrounding the property and a large adjoining field which the owner advised we may use for walking the dogs whenever we wanted.

“The walks so close are wonderful, that was a huge attraction but to find it had an enclosed garden for our dog was the icing on the cake.”

It was our second visit and there will be a third. Love it

Mr Watkins April 2021

“The location of the cottage is perfect!”

It's really quiet with a great outlook from the rear of the cottage. The conservatory was a really pleasant surprise - we had breakfast and other meals in there regularly looking out on the fields and horses. Plenty of equipment and a full size fridge/freezer made keeping and preparing food easy. TV and DVD player were really useful in the evening. We were very lucky in that we had perfect dry weather all week so we were able to explore Somerset.

Mrs Holmes October 2020

“Acorn Cottage is in a lovely tranquill position, with stunning uninterrupted countryside views.”

This is a very comfortable and cosy cottage with a nice and secure garden for dogs, allowing my 2 young Mini Dachshund lots of fun and frollicks. There is also a lovely large field that you can also use to exercise dogs as long as there are no farm stock in field. I would absolutely recommend this cottage if you want a nice peaceful location. Owners of cottage are very helpful and knowledgeable about local attractions.

Mrs Smith September 2020

“Whilst the cottage was very nice and Mr Cowie was very attentive without being intrusive we experienced numerous difficulties in our efforts to contact Sykes prior to our holiday.”

This we found frustrating although we had a wonderful once on holiday.

- Mrs Smith, September 2020
Mr Varey September 2020

“A lovely base with a very helpful owner.”

We had a lovely holiday and I am sure we will return.

Dumican August 2020

“The view was amazing and so peaceful.”

We watched an owl swooping into the meadow in the evenings looking for his supper. Cottage equipped with everything we could have wanted. The garden was beautiful and secure for our dog which was great. Plenty of space to park. Quiet village setting , great if you want to get away from all the madness

Mr Keen August 2020

“Acorn Cottage is absolutely lovely & the owner is really nice and helpful.”

This is the second time we have stayed in this beautiful area. If you would like a quiet, relaxed place to stay which is well appointed then we can't recommend Acorn Cottage enough.

Miss Cartwright March 2020

“We loved being at Acorn cottage.”

Peaceful and calm surroundings. Cottage had all we needed. Was lovely not needing to bring things like hand soap, washing up liquid, tea towels, even dishwasher tablets all provided. Thank you to our host for a lovely week.

- Miss Cartwright, March 2020
Mrs Young December 2019

“We had a lovely time in a cosy, quiet cottage and I have seen many gardens in details described as enclosed that have not been but this one was.”

We could let our dog out when she wanted to without having to put her on her lead or take her for a walk as we have had to do in others. I think it should be something that you should do to check gardens in listings, especially as we nearly lost her from one. We will return to Acorn Cottage because of this

- Mrs Young, December 2019
Mrs Kersting October 2019

“Good privacy in lovely secluded location.”

Every comfort provided which is the reason why we have had four holidays at this property.

Mr & Mrs Scott September 2019

“Lovely cottage, with a beautiful view.”

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

- Mr & Mrs Scott, September 2019
Mrs Potter 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
Mrs Quarterman September 2019

“Lovely well-appointed cottage.”

Would certainly recommend

- Mrs Quarterman, September 2019
Mr Bowman September 2019

“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.

- Mr Bowman, September 2019
Mr Keen August 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
Mr Wheeler July 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
Mr Pattenden 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
Ms Williams June 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
Mr Dixon May 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
Mr Pratt 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
Mrs Gooday May 2019

“This was a wonderful location, very peaceful ,everything catered for in the cottage , a home from home!”

Mrs Herbert April 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 Bright December 2018

“A little on the shabby side but nonetheless cozy.”

- Mrs Bright, December 2018
Mrs Bridges October 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.

Mr Ganey September 2018

“Great area, lots to see and good walks, quiet and peaceful setting.”

David a lovely host.

- Mr Ganey, September 2018
Mr Muhring June 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
Mrs Townsend 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
Mr Munden 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
Mrs Chilcott May 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
Mr Buck March 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.
