“Excellent Studio/Cottage”

Beautiful and peaceful Studio, exactly as described, situated at the bottom of the Owners well maintained Garden. Lovely Owners who are there if you need them, but give you complete privacy. The amenities are excellent, Anything else you may need can be obtained from the local village, which is just a few minutes walk and includes the village pub with lovely friendly staff and customers alike. It is also a superb base for exploring the surrounding areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay and definitely hope to visit and stay again in the Future.

“The area was ideal to explore on ...”

The area was ideal to explore on foot, there were lots of local walks, good village shops and a pub only a few minutes away. The village was very attractive with lots of character. Idlers Cottage was private and secluded with its own patio area.

“Romantic studio cottage in charming peaceful village”

Charming studio cottage tucked away Iin a corner of the owners lovely garden . Very private with its own small garden with seating area . Owners friendly and around if you need them but you have privacy. The village has still retained the village shops butchers , bakers, grocers, pub, florist etc which we loved just a minutes walk to the friendly village to buy everything you need. There is a small co-op but we gave all our business to the independent shops above as the village would die if the supermarket got all the business. The interior of cottage is charming and comfortable and the garden is cottage style but I would recomend higher watt bulbs as we found we had to put the lighting on all day as it was dark and that's are only negative but this can be resolved quite easily with a smaller tv and cooker as they block the light from windows. Hope this helped but should not put you off as its lovely . Great places to visit for the garden lovers and peaceful country walks to Martock . Highly recomend the small shop opposite the grocers selling handmade pastries and cakes , meats and cheeses etc also the pretty florists ( textile artist ) selling handmade gifts by her very own hand .

“Fantastic Cottage, Lovely Place”

We had a fantastic stay in Idler's cottage, an easy walk to 2 great pubs, especially the one in South Petherton and located perfectly to set off for beautiful walks around the countryside with the added bonus of a coop 5 minutes walk away for if you run out of milk. The cottage itself was amazing with all the facilities you could want and a lovely private garden and bench area to sit around. Would definitely reccomend.

“Peace and privacy in a Somerset village”

One room cottage in back garden of helpful owners. In very friendly village with lovely local shops and close to splendid stately homes and glorious gardens. Get a local map so you can navigate the back roafs. No washing machine. Would suit reasonably mobile couple who value peace and seclusion.

“Compact and cosy.”

Charming yet discreet owners. Very comfortable little studio with well-equipped kitchen. In great location only minutes from the charming village of South Petherton. Very close to a number of National Trust properties and other places of interest. Friendly pub in village, beer festival in progress during our visit good fun.We loved this cottage and would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet romantic break at any time of the year.

“Wonderful place”

Was the first holiday I went on with my boyfriend, lovely out of the way place, you have your own little patio area which is really nice to have meals out on, weather permitting. Cosy inside and a wonderful place to stay in general, would definitely consider this place again if I want to visit the area
