Melita

The property is very big and spacious that's as far as I would go with it.

Unfortunately we did not find it to be to our satisfaction. The bungalow wasn't as clean as it should have been, there were coffee granule staines on kitchen floor where it had not been mopped properly and it felt sticky to walk on in slippers. Where the trays are by the dishwasher, there was dirt and debris in the corner and there appeared to be a lot of cobwebs, particularly in the conservatory, spanning from the wall to the 2 single chairs and table. There care cobwebs all over the kitchen window and on the blind rail in corner of double bedroom at the front. Although it is nice to have plenty of kitchen items, I found there to be far too much, almost every cupboard and draw was full of something? There was one cupboard next to the cooker that we could put our own things in, most of it had to be kept on work surface which made things cluttered. There was plenty of storage in bedrooms however I still found them to be full of clutter and untidy. Although the garden is a nice size, the furniture on the patio was also covered in cobwebs and looked to have not been used in a while. The grass could have been cut prior to our arrival and weeds cleared. We don't smoke but there was a cigarette end between the slabs on the patio also. My mother is disabled and unable to climb very steep steps, the front door step was of particular concern, far to steep for a disabled person, she struggles to walk but had to make the long journey around the back and through the side gate to enter and exit the property, more advise needs providing to customers about this as it affects who can use it. My mum was in so much pain with the walking that we left a day early. I wouldn't recommend this bungalow to anyone who is disabled.

Could not fault this property.

Has everything and more. Great for kids, dogs or just to relax. Will be looking at booking again

Beautifully presented bungalow with everything you need.

The garden was amazing! It wraps around 3 sides of the property and is well maintained. And must importantly for us, secure for our small terrier! He loved the garden so much, he didn't want to leave to go out on our day trips. We had beautiful weather too, for March. So I loved sitting in the conservatory with my coffee. Only thing I would suggest, is to read the well thought out instructions on the property, especially re the heating and hot water. It's oil fuelled and has a water tank. And we are used to a gas combi boiler. We had a welcome pack of delicious pastries and milk. And even our dog had treats. Dog bowls inside and out! All was greatly received. There is a wide selection of games for the young and old and plenty of books. Leaflets re places to visit. Local facilities. We will definitely be returning if we can!

Such a lovely bungalow, the photos really do not do it justice.

Very spacious, lots of room to relax. The garden was perfect for our 2 dogs, and totally secure. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, good quality bedding & towels. Excellent shower, powerful & hot. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Great selection of games/puzzles for a rainy day. Good TV with basic channels & that was fine for us. Lovely dog walks in the area, make sure you walk up to the monument and look out over the Levels. There’s a pub/restaurant 2 minutes walk which does excellent pizzas & burgers, in the daytime it does coffee and cakes. Shop in the village is well stocked with basic items. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to stay, I am certain that I will return.

Recently had my third stay at Melita.

It's a lovely property with everything you could possibly need to ensure a great stay. For dog owners the spacious garden is properly secure, and if you have an escapologist terrier, as I do, it's a huge relief to be able to relax and know your little moron is safely enclosed. You feel welcome the moment you walk in, and the thoughtful owners do everything they can to make it that way, even rainy day games, puzzles and books for children and adults alike. It has a good pub for takeaway food just down the road, little shop, petrol station..just a couple of miles from Langport and close to some beautiful spots. I will definitely return again.Thank you.

Lovely comfortable bungalow - Never stayed anywhere so well stocked.

Has everything you could need and more. Large garden - completely dog friendly, even for a little Jack. Excellent location to see the sights of Somerset. Will hopefully be returning in the future.

Lovely detached bungalow, nice garden space with secure fencing for dogs.

Fields to walk the dogs around nearby. The village of Langport just a short drive up the road. Would recommend for a relaxing break.

Another brilliant Holiday at Melita.

Clean, comfortable with everything you need. I would highly recommend and will be to friends and family.

Large spacious bungalow with attractive conservatory and plenty of off road parking.

The amount of kitchen equipment was outstanding and extras such as books and games were more than plentiful. The garden is large with a variety of seating areas to use, if the rain had ever stopped for long enough. It is well located within Curry Rivel with the dog friendly local pub only a few minutes away. Overall, it is an excellent rental property.

Spacious property with a good sized and dog secure garden.

Everything we needed for our stay could be found in the property and we found the location ideal with many attractions no more than about 30 minutes drive away. We are very likely to visit again and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Very good holiday home.

Very spacious with lots of room. Big garden and fully enclosed, ideal for dogs, we had two labradors. Bungalow very well equipped even down to a slush puppy machine. Large kitchen and a utility room. Driveway is big enough for two cars. Good Internet. Dog walks within the village, two minutes from bungalow. Recommend "Firehouse" in village for dining, Fish and Chip van on Wednesdays and the Lamb and Lion for good pub grub about six minutes drive away. Bungalow clean and tidy, fluffy towels and bedding provided. Hone from home. Would definately recommend this bungalow for a holiday vacation.

A lovely bungalow with all the amenities we could possibly need for our short stay.

It had everything we needed and more to make it a comfortable and convenient stay for our trip to Somerset.

We had a lovely relaxing time for our Christmas break.

Melita is a real home from home and the owners have obviously tried to think of everything to help make your stay perfect. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we appreciated the welcome pack with tea coffee milk and pastries. Dog treats a bed and towels are also provided. Thank you so much. Curry Rivel is a lively village and we enjoyed all of our walks with the dogs. Highly recommended.

Nice location near Glastonbury and Taunton.

Property much larger than expected. Plenty of room for family and pets. Large garden with lots of places to sit and enjoy the sun or night skies. Perfect for stargazing. The welcome pack was generous and included gorgeous pastries and doggy treats. Be sure to read the information in the welcome folder as it contains details about the local area and log-in details for major entertainment apps on the tv. We hope to stay again. Thank you!

Fantastic stay at Malita, the cottage had everything you could possibly need for your stay and the attention to your 4 legged friend was great.

Although close to a main road you could hear the traffic but wasn't bothered by it. Very comfortable and clean. We highly recommend Malita and will be returning.

For what we needed, the house was well appointed and spacious.

As the photos show, it is a little dated. We were surprised to find there was no streaming / smart TV available. We tried to communicate with Sykes prior to arrival and no luck. We did then call the local number listed and got a response. Also did not need to book a whole week, but a week was considerably cheaper than booking 5 nights.

Melita is a very well equipped bungalow in beautiful countryside close to Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury so great for exploring and lovely country walks.

Lots of games, puzzles and toys for children and treats for dogs. It is close by the busy main road so noisy early morning. A generous 'welcome pack' awaited us and a much needed cuppa was very gratefully received. The quirks of the bungalow is that there are too many pretty ornaments as this leaves less space for us to put things especially in the back bedroom where 8 items on the tallboy left no space for personal items. An empty wall shelving would definitely have helped. A smaller wardrobe might leave a few more inches to squeeze by the lovely wide comfy bed. All towels were exceptionally large clean and fluffy and hot water always 'on tap' but the hall toilet sounded like a ship's horn when flushed. Seating was not comfortable enough after a busy day and proper seat cushioning on the conservatory seats would help as sun lounger covers so uncomfortable and gave no support we couldn't use them. All this being said we have a lovely week together at Melita. Thank you Helen and Robert. -

A lovely spacious bungalow just outside Langport (great river walks).

It was very well equipped with everything we needed. It's next to an A road, so some traffic noise, but nothing to make us wish we'd booked elsewhere and we sat in the garden most evenings. There are fields close by for dog walks which was ideal, but our dog also had a great time running around in the fully enclosed garden. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melita to anyone looking to book in the South Somerset area.

Having stayed before, this visit was just as good.

Breakfast pack very welcome. The garden was lovely for the dogs, lawn freshly mown. Everything you could need is provided, beds very comfortable. A lot of thought has gone into Melita and it was a pleasure to stay there. Good parking too. Recommend it and will be staying there again hopefully.

I have stayed at many cottages in the past and this has to be the best equipt of them all.

Even down to the dog treats etc. The settees were a little uncomfortable but that may be because of our ages. If i was ever to holiday in the area again i would stay here again. Highly recommended

Lovely well appointed bungalow.

There were a lot of little extras especially for the dogs that we found very thoughtful. The property itself was very comfortable, clean and provided everything you could possibly need. All in all a highly recommended property. The welcome pack of fresh croissants also added a special touch

Melita, is an absolutely lovely there is everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds very well equipped kitchen, beautiful garden enclosed for dogs.

We had an excellent week there, weather could have been better but at this time of year to be expected. Just a little suggestion change the sofas in the lounge they are so uncomfortable and I know it’s been mentioned before but a smart TV would have been lovely.

Wonderful bungalow to stay in, loved the pastries on arrival.

Everything you could possibly need for a comfortable holiday stay. Fully enclosed rear garden for the dog to roam in, kids to play in. Plenty of board games and dvds to keep everyone entertained in the evenings. Dogs well catered gor with a dog bed, bowls, towel, dog shampoo all provided. Will definitely stay again if visiting Somerset in the future.

Fantastic stay at such a lovely bungalow.

The bungalow is so well equipped and comfortable. On arrival a lovely welcome pack for us and 1 for the dogs too. Lovely touches with 2 dog beds ready in the front room for them. Also the dog cleaning kit and hose was a great idea and welcome after the walks. Great location to explore the area with plenty to do locally and a little further afield. The information books and leaflets at the bungalow had so many options we wished we had booked longer. A great place, a great stay would recommend to anyone and look forward to visiting again.

Excellent place to stay, everything you could possibly want for comfort.

Everything wonderful.

All catered for. Lovely home from home. Thank you owners, exceptional.

Melita has everything.

It's clean, warm, comfortable & spacious. Wide variety of toys, books & games for all age children. Reference books, maps & novels for adults. Very well equipped kitchen. Good shower, bed linen & towels. Great welcome pack. Garden secure for all size dogs. Nice village with shop, garage & church. Friendly, helpful hosts. Booking again for next year.

This is a lovely bungalow with everything you need with dogs and children.

It is just off the main road but not to much of a problem. There is only 1 pub within walking distance and dogs are only allowed outside they have heaters but if you don't smoke probably not the best place.

Everything about the bungalow was excellent, we have never stayed in one as well equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need!

From kitchen essentials through to guide books, games, toys for the children and even baby requirements including a high chair, dog leads, toys, a towel for wet dogs and even treat biscuits. Being elderly with only my son/carer I had no need of any of these but was really impressed by the provision for all their guests. The only downside, for me, was the steps with my limited mobility but my son looked after me very well and helped me in and out. I We would love to be able to stay there again in the future.

A genuine home from home.

Everything there you could possibly need. Garden really secure for our dog and easy walk just over the road which was a relief. She also loved the ball and thrower and the hose! If we'd had children there were games and books to keep them occupied. The garden was great to sit in and relax. I managed to read a whole book from the bookshelf during the week too. Langporte great for dog walking by the river and lots of interesting dog friendly places nearby too. Only very tiny downsides the TV wasn't SMART and the toilet seat in the bathroom needs some attention.

Lovely home away from home, very thoughtful with stuff for children even down to plates and cutlery.

Garden was lovely and well maintained, spacious and clean and loved the hand soap and creams left out and the breakfast pasteries.

This bungalow is situated next to a busy main road, the traffic noise is very disturbing from 6.

30 am till late. This ruins the ability to enjoy a relaxing chilled out holiday, shame because the garden is a lovely feature. If you had indicated this in your description of the property we would not have booker it.

If you want a holiday that is home from home this is the place to stay .

Suitable for all ages plenty of toys and games for kids space for dogs to run about outside. Ideally located for all Somerset attractions. Bungalow is as photos shown on website. Small complaint headboard on king-size bed needs fixing to bed as it bangs up the wall every time you move

The owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to make Melita as homely as possible, it was like staying at a family home instead of a holiday let.

The weather was awful, rain every day, but the bungalow was warm & cosy to return to. We always take our own dog washing / drying things in case of bad weather but the owners has thoughtfully provided everything anyway. We chose the village as old friends live there, but it makes a good base for touring the area. There is a well stocked shop and albeit rather expensive pub within walking distance of the bungalow and a fish & chip van on Wednesday evenings which was superb. So, summing up, no reason not to go to Melita, suitable for all ages and dog.

Property was well equipped and comfortable.

Great idea for dog toys and spare towels. Our grandson enjoyed playing with the toys and loved the garden.

Great place in a great location .

Lots of dog walking nearby. Only downside was a fusty odour when we first arrived but I don't know if it had been unused for a week or two. However that is not a serious criticism.thoroughly enjoyed our week

We rented the property for a three generation get together for Christmas and it fulfilled that criteria well.

Although the photographs show a somewhat dated bungalow what it did not show was this has clearly been, or still is, someone’s home with their possessions still in situ. Now some people may like that but I prefer to rent a more sterile property. On arrival the property was very cold and musty. A note had been left saying “ The heating should come on 3 times a day on a timer. One hour in the morning about 7am, one hour at lunchtime about 1pm, a couple of hours in the evening about 6pm.” There was an electric fire in the lounge but that was inadequate to heat such a large property. The first nights sleep was disturbed because the bedrooms were very cold with inadequate thin duvet. We had no choice but to override the timer or vacate the property as we had two young children in the party. On the plus side the owners had decorated the property with a Christmas tree and outside lights. There was plenty of hot water and they provided a welcome pack with mince pies and Christmas crackers for the children.

Such a beautiful property, fully equipped and very comfortable.

Property managers extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this stay to anyone who wants a relaxing stress free stay

A very comfortable, spacious and well equipped cottage, in a good location for exploring the area.

We really appreciated the OS map, which helped us find good cycling routes nearby. The conservatory was a plus and meant we could enjoy some October sunshine for longer.

We found the property to be comfortable and well equipped.

It was a good touring base. There was a good selection of maps of the area available, which was useful. It was near a main road, but this wasn't an issue. We enjoyed our stay, and would be happy to rent the property again.

A very well equipped property.

Nice safe garden for the dog. We found the beds a little uncomfortable. The sofas were uncomfortable due to my short legs but used the ones in the conservatory which were OK. It was a refreshing change to have a well equipped kitchen and clear instructions for use of cooker, dishwasher etc. Dog was well looked after too with towels etc. Very thoughtful owners gave us a home from home.

Good and clean

We had the most wonderful stay at Melits.

It was simply home from home. We could not have asked for anything more. It had everything you could possibly need. We were sorry to have to leave.

June 2022.

Melita was all that we hoped it would be. We live in a house so it was so lovely to have the 'bungalow experience' - no stairs! The bungalow is very spacious, extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean and attention paid to detail. The garden is totally dog proof so no need to worry about your fur babies and there is the benefit of having a laundry room with a hosepipe outside the door for muddy paws. The location was great for visiting all the local areas, we even got as far as Minehead, Porlock, Dunster, Cheddar, Wells to name but a few. Went off the beaten track to places such as Mells and Winsford. Booking was very easy, we have never used Sykes before and their website was easy to navigate, payment simple and communication spot on. I would like to say a big thank you to Robert and Helen for the croissants and flowers which were a lovely personal touch, and, as I said to Robert, I wish we could live in Melita permanently but alas this week it is back to the harsh reality of work and bills! Thanks for everything :)

The property exceeded expectations, it was large, well laid out, very well equipped and homely.

We really appreciated the efforts the owners had gone to with a beautiful real Christmas tree and other decorations including a box of crackers. The welcome box was delicious too, our only disappointment was we couldn't visit the bakery and top up on those pastries! Thank you, this was the perfect property for our family Christmas made even better by the owner's efforts.

Melita is a large and very well appointed bungalow just off the main road through Curry Rivel, so extremely easy to find.

We certainly lacked for nothing as everything that we required was provided and the beds were some of the most comfortable that I have slept on. The rooms are large and well furnished and it feels like being at home. The owners were most accommodating and helpful. Curry Rivel itself boasts an extremely good pub(The Firehouse) which does really good meals and is within easy walking distance. A small one stop store is just down the road and open from early to late, whilst a Tesco is in the nearby town of Langport. There is a regular but infrequent bus service between the towns of Yeovil and Taunton that stops just outside the bungalow.

To close to the main road

Location, layout size of accommodation was great.

But no keys code on arrival, no working contact number for owners, large fresh tea stain in bedroom, finger food Mark's on touch points on fridge & freezer and kitchen cupboard fronts (all easily cleaned off), dust in corners of floors and bits of food under sofas, open food products left in kitchen including open sugar bowl with lots of flys and used toiletries in bathrooms, hot water running out first night leaving two of us using kettle washes, heating started working (strangely mid week) even though in the off posistion, instructionsin a box not in folder ,headboard very loose in main bedroom, dvd player not connected/compatible with tv, tv wifi connection to bt hub very very slow.

The cottage was lovely with everything you could need.

Owner also left us a delicious assortment of croissants. Perfect location for both relaxing and exploring
