  • "Great base to explore the local area and Barry was quick to respond with any queries such as when the tin opener and sun lounger was broke he swiftly provided new."

    Kitchen has everything you need but suggestions would be some pint glasses for drinks as only small tumblers and also the sofa was uncomfortable so resorted to sitting on floor with cushions. I would only advise this property for two adults or family with small children as not really enough space for four adults.

    Within easy reach of several points of interest to visit , Wells is a must see The dogs loved the secure garden My only point would be the heating which had a habit of coming on at 2 in the morning and turning off when we where getting up which did mean the cottage did , at times, feel very cold . But overall is was a much needed Xmas break , thank you

    Cottage itself was beautiful, clean and well presented. Our girls loved the hot tub however due to that I would suggest taking spare towels. Garden was secure meaning we could leave the dogs outside without worrying. We would definitely go again and recommend.

    Barrie the caretaker couldn’t do enough for us. The accommodation was spotless with all amenities catered for. The hot tub is fab after a day exploring. It was lovely to sit and listen to the bird song. There is also a dog field just up the lane perfect for dog exercising. Overall an excellent week in a very lovely space. Highly recommend booking

    Not as described on Sykes! A building site! No direction signs to be guided to a safe route to cottage had to walk through it with children and luggage! Makeshift parking far away beside rubbish piles. Ants in property. No windows in bedrooms think this is illegal. Hot tub was dirty. Sykes very unhelpful throughout, have complained no response. Barrie helpful

  • "Owner and maintenance guy were both lovely and friendly."

    Had a small issue with hot tub on night 1 but it was seen to straight away. They were lovely to chat to giving ideas on things to do locally. The beds were very comfy I slept like a log every night. Hot tub was so relaxing. Shower was beautiful. Has great facilities within the property such as WiFi, smart tv in both bedrooms and lounge, underfloor heating and cooling, thermostat in each room and cooking equipment. Lovely reading their guest book of reviews. There’s a few games provided. Definitely recommended! Photos are accurate and they have since added a side gate as requested by previous holiday stayer. Booked again while we were there for next year. ❤️

  • "A lovely cozy little hideaway."

    Exactly as the pictures show. Ideal for the two of us and our 2 labs. Not so sure how comfy it would be for 4 adults but we loved sitting on the bar chairs at the island to eat and play cards. Hot tub was lovely. The only thing I would recommend is some instructions for appliances and heating as we couldn’t find any. Barrie came and introduced himself and asked if everything was ok which was really lovely. Overall a lovely relaxing stay and would definitely come back.

    E. Minehead and Weston-Super-Mare are both easily reachable. Very well thought out property with a lovely farmhouse feel throughout. I love open plan living for an holiday to ensure sociability with the family. Appreciated the effort the owners went to to ensure the property is equipped with pretty much everything for a week’s stay. Only a hairdryer was missing, only because my wife forgot hers. Really happy all in all, thank you!

  • "Really lovely and well equipped little annexe cottage."

    Everything clean, new and good quality. Great deep hot tub and safe garden for the dogs. Be aware though that you can hear the motorway that is close by. It’s fairly quiet but constant. You sort of get used to it but it’s there the whole time. Barrie was really friendly and helpful and popped over when we needed a hand. Unfortunate that the bedrooms don’t have windows and were stuffy even when weather not so warm. They should have at least fans if not air con. Also the single beds are small singles and probably only suitable for children. I am only 5’3 and it was really too small for me. The bathroom and waterfall shower is lovely - could use a hanging shower caddy to put products in. Sofa is a 3 seater but probably only really comfy for 2. Despite technically being able to sleep 4 I would say really just suitable for a couple. Overall a lovely stay near many wonderful places. Highly recommend walking the Quantocks and also Berrow beach is amazing for the dogs all year round. The food available just down the road at Pynes of Somerset butcher and shop was delicious and great value!

  • "All 4 of us enjoyed our stay, however, this property is not really big enough for 4 adults, with only a 3-seater sofa in the lounge and 2 sun loungers, it was a good thing our friends were going camping the week after and had 2 chairs with them otherwise it would have been a morning race for the loungers."

    The garden was nice size and and safe and secure for the dogs, which was great because my dog is a great escape artist. The hot tub needs a bit more regular attention as it was murky on a couple of occasions and the freezer was playing up and kept defrosting itself, we reported these little problems to property maintenance and Barrie was really helpful. A real downside was that the 2 bedrooms had no windows (this freaked me out a bit as I sleep with windows and curtains open at home), we visited during one of the warmest weeks and could not close the bedroom door as there was no air flow and it was hot and very stuffy. Anyways, all that said, we did have a lovely holiday and The Nest is a great central base and we visited so many local places.

  • "We had a fantastic week at the Nest."

    Barrie on behalf of Andy went above and beyond to ensure we had the best week. We had 2 dogs with us and one is a sausage dog so there was room for escape under the back gate. Within 2 days of noticing we had made a make shift block with garden chairs someone came round and fitted some fencing to close up the gaps. Barrie and Andy were so keen to adapt to customer needs so they could provide the best for them. Really really nice to see. We will for sure be back at some point as the nest is a great base to use to explore Somerset, the Quantock Hills and the surrounding beach towns which are all within an hours reach. Highly recommended the steam train to Margate and dogs are allowed on board. All in all 10/10 from us.
