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

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
“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

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
“Spent a wonderful week in "The Old Cider Barn" in 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
“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
“Idyllic contry location with places and walks to visit near by.”

Clean and comfortable. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.

- 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
“Fantastic accommodation but needs WIFI.”

Mr Pinnington, September 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.

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 Burnage, March 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

About the location

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. All in all, this beautiful city makes a convenient and ideal touring base. With so much to see and do, there is something to keep everyone entertained!
