“Great accommodation, Ideal location, well equipped.”

Mrs Dawes April 2021

“On our arrival Phil welcomed us which was a lovely personal touch, he is such a warm and friendly man.”

We loved everything about the Old Cider Barn, it has been lovingly restored beautifully furnished and equipped, it is a credit to Phil. We loved the private seating area which catches the sun beautifully. Their are many walks right on the doorstep and many places to visit such as Wells with it's magnificent Cathedral and wonderful cafes, restaurants and lovely individual shops. Glastonbury again a wonderful place and also the beach at BreanSands. We were blessed with wonderful sunny weather for the whole week. We would love to go back to The Old Cider Barn again very soon.

Mr Wordley October 2020

“What a find!”

! The accommodation was lovely and bigger than it looks I thr photos. The ow or was very helpful and the location couldn't have been better. The pub next door offered great food and drinks all at a great price. The local shop/team roo in the village was also exceptional. We will be booking again for next year.

Mr Altoft September 2020

“The Old Cider Barn is well situated in the village the owner lives at the back in a bungalow but is never intrusive but is always there is you need anything.”

The property is lovely with everything you need and is situated next door to a very good pub with really good food if you do not want to cook. What more could you ask for.

- Mr Altoft, September 2020
Mr Turnill September 2020

“Tea, coffee, milk and refreshments provided, very welcome after long drive.”

Pub/restaurant opposite, tea room along street. Waitrose and Lidl a short drive into Wells. Phil was a very helpful but unobtrusive owner. A roomy cottage in a good area.

- Mr Turnill, September 2020
Mr Machin September 2020

“We could not have been made more welcome to the Cider Barn cottage, Mr Spearing was very friendly and helpful, although he did not encroach on our privacy during our stay, he was always available should we have needed anything.”

The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable which made it a very enjoyable holiday for us. We shall certainly consider returning when this terrible virus has been eliminated, as there were several places and attractions which we did not see due to the situation we are in. We have now used Sykes cottages on two occasions and have been very satisfied each time. Thank You Beryl & Bill Machin

Mr Hill August 2020

“The Old Cider Barn was a lovely, well-equipped cottage for our week in Somerset, and it is a great base for touring the area.”

The very pleasant owner lives nearby if there are any problems. The only slight drawback is the lack of internet, but I think this was only an issue for us as we spent more time in the house than expected because of the very wet week we were there!

- Mr Hill, August 2020
Mr Meaghan August 2020

“Lovely, light and airy cottage with a great pub next door.”

Great place to relax and explore the local area. Phill's communications were spot on and even got me a OS map at short notice! Stay here you won't be disappointed

- Mr Meaghan, August 2020
Mr Wild July 2020

“Lovely accommodation in a perfect location for exploring Somerset, Devon and Dorset.”

Local pub is great but can be quite noisy in the evening. The double bed and pillows were a bit uncomfortable for us but, might be great for others. Also the addition of WiFi should be thought about in this day and age. Did get chance to speak to Phillip (owner) before we left, lovely guy with lots of local knowledge. We would definitely consider staying at the Old Cider Barn if we head that way again.

- Mr Wild, July 2020
Mr Gibson March 2020

“The accommodation was of a very high standard and made the holiday all the more enjoyable.”

Mrs Barrett December 2019

“We were disappointed that there was no Christmas tree.”

I have been away for a cottage stay for Christmas twice before and there was a beautiful tree on both occasions.

- Mrs Barrett, December 2019
Mr Evans September 2019

“Great base to explore the surrounding area.”

Spring interior mattress was too firm for us, but this is obviously a matter of personal preference.

- Mr Evans, September 2019
Mrs Axell September 2019

“Lovely cottage but the mobile reception is rubbish and there's no wifi.”

Pub next door served good grub. Owner very friendly.

- Mrs Axell, September 2019
Mr Loader June 2019

“A very comfortable cottage, and convenient for what we had planned to do.”

We also received a very warm welcome from the owner!

- Mr Loader, June 2019
Mr Mitchell May 2019

“Made to feel very welcome on arrival (with the bonus of a litre of milk in the fridge and some indulgent nibbles to eat).”

- Mr Mitchell, May 2019
Mr Roberts April 2019

“The Old Cider Barn was very clean and comfortable.”

One thing that did annoy us was cars parking right next to the windows when visiting the pub next door. The staff at the pub were very friendly and food very good. Wi Fi would be a bonus and the mobile reception was terrible.

- Mr Roberts, April 2019
Mr Wren April 2019

“AN EXCELLENT BASE TO VISIT ALL THE ATTRACTIONS IN A TWENTY MILE RADIUS , A CLEAN AND WELL MAINTAINED COTTAGE , JUST A FEW MINUTES WALK TO A LOCAL PUB THAT SERVES EXCELLENT FOOD AT A GOOD PRICE .”

WIFI WOULD BE A GREAT BONUS

- Mr Wren, April 2019
Martindale April 2019

“Everything at The Old Cider Barn was perfect, everything we needed was available and we lacked nothing.”

- Martindale, April 2019
Mrs Allsopp April 2019

“We found the cottage very comfortable and the owner, Mr Spearing, was most helpful and kind.”

- Mrs Allsopp, April 2019
Mrs Escrig March 2019

“Lovely little cosy cottage in a fabulous location.”

Owner lives close by and is extremely helpful. Local pub is fantastic... Not a fan of leather chairs extremely uncomfortable and beds are quite hard but then that's a personal choice. It would not put me off returning as I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wookey.

- Mrs Escrig, March 2019
Mr Dredge December 2018

“Spent a wonderful week in "The Old Cider Barn" in Wookey.”

Very comfortable stay, great location and a lovely host.

- Mr Dredge, December 2018
Mrs Lord November 2018

“We stayed in The Cider Barn Wookey.”

Clean, well appointed facilities in cottage. Single beds were a little hard for me..but that could just be preferential to me. Cosy and warm. The only main draw back was no internet and running your own business, even when on a break needs keeping an eye on ..so.. internet access would be good.

- Mrs Lord, November 2018
Mr Green October 2018

“Idyllic contry location with places and walks to visit near by.”

Clean and comfortable. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.

- Mr Green, October 2018
Mrs Gardiner October 2018

“If you want a really relaxing holiday this is the place for you!”

Once through the door we were quite happy to stay put! Lovely situation, near enough to Wells and Glastonbury. One of the best Sykes Cottage we have stayed in.

- Mrs Gardiner, October 2018
Mr Pinnington September 2018

“Fantastic accommodation but needs WIFI.”

- Mr Pinnington, September 2018
Mr McCrea September 2018

“Nice cottage didn't lack anything as regards cooking etc.”

- lovely area plenty to see and do without going miles Wells a lovely city use long stay parking very inexpensive - owner helpful but left us alone o get on with things - downside no wi-fi - good job private parking as local pub often has cars/vans parked outside cottage. Was not impressed with Ring O' Bells pub Sunday lunch as drowned meal in gravy would have been better in jug! Didn't go again once bitten - Pheasant along road had excellent meal

- Mr McCrea, September 2018
Dr Grieves August 2018

“It was a lovely cottage with good facilities, great access to motorways, Bristol, Wells, National Trust properties, the Chew Valley, the pub 'The Ring O' Bells' and shops and supermarkets, generally in a good spot.”

I had a very relaxing time. But where is the internet, lack of it was a big miss and having to go out to get access was inconvenient and it meant I couldn't get things like iplayer and emails in the cottage.

- Dr Grieves, August 2018
Mrs Watson April 2018

“The Old Cider Barn was very comfortable, spacious and equipped.”

The parking space next to it was ample. The owner Mr Spearing was welcoming and helpful. The village of Wookey was attractive and quiet with good access to places of interest to us in all directions. The pub next door was very good with excellent food, beer and ciders, and with very friendly staff. We enjoyed the freshly baked bread from the flour mill at the edge of the village, local meat and cheeses from the butcher and fresh fish and veg from the fishmonger both in nearby Wedmore. There was plenty to see and do in this very beautiful part of the country, with more still to see.

- Mrs Watson, April 2018
Mrs Burnage March 2018

“We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Cider Barn.”

The owner was very welcoming and helpful and the cottage met all our expectations and was clean, beautifully furnished and decorated and well equipped.The location was great for visiting Wookey Hole and nearby Wells with its beautiful Cathedral. Lovely walks nearby as well.

- Mrs Burnage, March 2018
Mr Wren February 2018

“A very clean Cottage ,with all you could need in it , perfect base for a good 30 mile radius around it , plenty to see and do , made to feel very welcome by the owner , would highly recommend it to any couple with or without children .”

It is next door to a Village Pub that sells outstanding food , but no noise from it that would disturb you .

- Mr Wren, February 2018
Mr Lewis November 2017

WELLS

Coxley 2 miles; Shepton Mallet 6 miles; Glastonbury 6 miles; Cheddar 9 miles.

Wells, England’s smallest city, is named after the springs which still bubble up today in the grounds of its splendid Bishop's Palace with its famous moat. Adjacent is the beautiful 12th century cathedral situated within a most attractive cathedral close and green. Nearby, Vicars Close is home to the oldest complete medieval street in Europe, and the quaint market square offers an array of interesting shops, boutiques and restaurants, and a colourful twice-weekly market. The surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provides a wealth of scenic footpaths and rugged landscapes, and is a superb base for caving and rock climbing, and for road, biking and mountain biking. Nearby are the attractions of Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole Caves, both offering great days out. The picturesque Somerset Levels, as well as mystical Glastonbury are also situated an easy drive away. The beautiful city of Bath, with its Roman Baths, Thermae Bath Spa, The Theatre Royal and wonderful shops, is under 30 miles away, as is the vibrant city of Bristol, which boasts a multitude of attractions, including The Zoo, Theatres, the Aquarium, the Arnol Fini Art Gallery and many more.
