    "Great location for local family and to use this as an additional accommodation."

    No issues that are down to the owners but probably with builders - like the shower door on bath is too short and I felt bad with water spilling over - had to put a towel down to be sure that water didn't damage anything...at 6ft 3 water tends to splash a lot off me! I did read that a smart TV had been installed with a 55 smart tv - before we arrived on another review but it wasnt there and had to go out and get a cable to run from my laptop to make it smart.....the sound was awful though...so a new TV would help justify the rental cost. The place was spotless....lovely and big....some softer pillows would be a bonus. Shame about walking through neighbours garden...bad design by the developer.... A couple more place settings would be a great addition as we had people over and not enough plates, but an abundance of cutlery. It was hot weather when there and the windows need tightening up because we had to prop them open as they kept closing which didnt help. A good accommodation - not sure the pricing isnt too high for the quality but as I said very clean, good location, very quiet and spacious. We would rent it again.

    Hi Christian. Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm afraid you missed the new TV by a few days. It was installed immediately after your stay and has been well received by the current guests. I'm grateful for your comment about the window maintenance - I will make sure that is carried out as soon as possible. Thanks for trying to prevent water damage from the upstairs shower screen I will see what can be done about it. I thought there were eight place settings - I will check on my next visit. There are supposed to be two firm and two soft pillows on each double bed - perhaps they have got mixed up! I will check. I'm glad you would like to return. You would be most welcome (and you'll benefit from the continuous improvements we will be making at The Coach House)! Chris and Belinda Property Owner

    "Lovely inside and well equipped although the TV was smaller than in the picture."

    Your only view from the house is a very tall large building that wasn’t included in the pictures. To enter house you have to go through a side gate into the next doors garden then walk past their front door through another small gate into the Coach House. We was told in the instructions from the owner of the Coach house to be quiet when walking past the next doors neighbours property but we should have ask them to be quiet because they had a few shouting swearing arguments and getting home 2-3am Slamming their vans door, then the gate and then their front door. So regarding the problems we have explained above we would not return.

    Update: TV now replaced with a new 55" 4k with hi-tec smart features! Hi Daniel. Many thanks for your feedback and for giving The Coach House such a high rating for Comfort and Cleanliness. To address the issues you had: the TV in the photo was larger than the one in place during your stay but was old and needed replacing. The smaller TV is temporary and works well but has been there longer than we would have liked and will be switched over soon. The tall building you mentioned is the Grade II listed St. John's Priory. I have now included it in the photos. I can only apologise for the disturbance from the neighbours that you experienced. This has not been mentioned by subsequent guests so I am hoping that they have resolved their differences. Please consider returning - we'd love to host you again! Chris and Belinda Property Owner

The property

Welcome to The Coach House, 23 Priorygate Court, Castle Cary, Somerset.You enter the house into a hallway, to your left is the large combined living space - containing the kitchen, dining table, TV, and the comfortable sofas of the lounge area.At the end of the hallway is a newly upgraded, modern W/C Shower Room.

Upstairs there are two good-size bedrooms and a modern bathroom and W/C with bath and shower over.The bedrooms each have a comfortable double bed and a single bed - for children's use only.

Priorygate Court is notable for the unique homes which echo the architecture of the imposing former Priory, around which the community is centred.You will notice the peace and quiet of your surroundings due to the absence of passing traffic - although the birdsong is worth listening to!

In the sunny courtyard you will find some very comfortable garden furniture and a table.

There are so many reasons to visit the gorgeous South Somerset town of Castle Cary!The local building material, Hadspen Stone, is a beautiful honey-coloured sandstone which gives the town a rich, warm and friendly feeling.The local people fit the same description and are very welcoming.The high street has the best of everything - great cafes, bakeries, independent shops, art dealers, vintage and antique shops, deli, seafood restaurant and cosy pubs with warming log fires burning in the winter!

If your stay includes a Tuesday then it is well worth visiting the food market, which is located outside the historic and beautiful Market House (housing the town museum) - opposite The George pub (where the food is very good) in the centre of town.

Castle Cary is a fabulous base for getting to the other towns and attractions of the area.There's the magical , mystical town of G|astonbury with its Abbey ruins, the Tor (Isle of Avalon) and the world famous music festival at nearby Pilton.During the Glastonbury Festival , if you're not into camping in a field with thousands of other people, you can walk from The Coach House to catch the shuttle bus that runs to and from Castle Cary train station and the festival site at Pilton.

The 'Newt in Somerset' is a ten minute drive away and offers Spa, restaurant and shopping opportunities as well as beautiful gardens and a Roman villa to explore.

There are several wonderful National Trust properties in the area including the renowned 18th century Palladian house, landscaped gardens and lake at Stourhead - where a walk, at any time of the year, is a must!

Bruton, another town to visit, is only 10minutes drive away and offers plenty of opportunities for fine dining and gallery visits - Hauser and Wirth Gallery has frequently changing exhibitions and a wonderful Italian restaurant called Da Costa, serving food with a distinctly Northern Italian flavour!

A quick run-through of other nearby places to visit: The Haynes Motor Museum.

The Fleet Air Arm Museum.

The Royal Bath and West Showground has regular Flea Markets and Vintage/Antique Fairs as well as annual trade and public shows - including, Agriculture, cars, motorcycles, food and many, many more!

CASTLE CARY

  • Bruton 6 miles
  • Glastonbury 14 miles
  • Wells 14 miles

Castle Cary is a small, attractive country town 12 miles north east of Yeovil and 24 miles south of Bath. It lies on the edge of rolling countryside between the Somerset Levels to the West and the ridgeline of Penselwood to the east, halfway between the Mendip Hills and the Blackmore Vale. The main Paddington to Penzance railway line runs about a mile to the north. The old part of Castle Cary, which is still the town centre and contains buildings like the Market House, the Round House and the old George Inn, runs along the foot of steep, grassy Lodge Hill, below where the castle used to stand. The town is the main centre for a large area of South Somerset, with a wide range of shops and services, and free parking.
