  Please read the entire message as it starts with a few negatives but does end on a positive note. The online information at the time of booking indicated that there was private parking for Refuge Cottage. Information provided a few days before the trip then advised us to park in the main public car park at additional cost. This property was chosen for elderly parents so this did cause some initial difficulties. I tried to make contact via your online chat facility but couldn't reach any chat hosts. There was some damp in the property that could cause problems for asthma sufferers and the settee is a little tired. Also the door handle came off the first time we opened the fridge, and the shower head in the twin-room was loose. However, none of this detracted from the fact that Refuge Cottage is a stunning property with a lovely homely feel. We absolutely loved the location and the views are amazing. None of us wanted to leave, including the dog :-) Thank you very much for a lovely holiday!

  We had a lovey stay at Saint Pancras Cottage.

  It was cosy and fire wood left for a fire. There was an Aga and a normal oven, 2 fridges, enough plates and cutlery and a good dishwasher. Our dog loved the garden as well as the kids. The snooker table was great fun although missing most of the pockets. The garden was beautiful but could do with a bit of weeding. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and would love to go back. It is 'old style' but I did like it about the cottage, making it feel homely and more relaxed with the family and dog. There is nothing wrong with the cottage itself and well maintained. It was clean and beds very comfy. We also had loads to do in the local area. We only stayed for 4 nights but would have been happy to stay much longer. We loved it and would go back. Lovely host too, that was friendly and recommended some lovely places to eat and visit. Dunster Castle and Village is around the corner and so beautiful.

  The house looked really idealic from the pictures on the web site, so it was booked for xmas 2023.

  We arrived for our stay and the garden was very overgrown and paths very spillery. We entered the house and found it smaller than the pictures portrayed but cosy. We were informed on arrival that the wood burner in the dinning room could not be used due to a bees nest which was disappointing and has been there since the summer. Within a couple of days we started finding bees and wasps when the house was warm in the dinning room and on the table, in the kitchen and in the lounge, which i have to say was a little bit uncomfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay but for the money we paid i think we should have been informed about the bees nest and also the few problems giving us an option to change our booking. We had an issue with the central heating which the key holder had to come and fix and made us aware that the owner new of the heating problem. If this property had a bit of an overall it would be lovely.

  St Pancras chapel is a very special place- book it if you can!

  Tucked away, full of history but also so cosy and comfortable. After a good nights sleep each night on comfy beds and luscious sheets, we awoke to birdsong, and each morning stepped out into the wondrous, old fashioned garden, watered by a stream, fed by a holy wellspring. The Aga kept us warm as did the woodburner, and we had a great time cooking and baking in the well equipped and home-like kitchen. The dining room was requisitioned as a study for exams revision but we also enjoyed a game of pool one evening. Our dog loved the place too! The weather outside wasn't great, which was all the excuse we needed to cosy up indoors. Outdoors we loved Watchet, Dunster, fossil hunting quantoxhead to kilve, and other walks at blue anchor bay, Dunkery, and Fyne court. We ate at the Rest And BeThankful at wheddon cross- highly recommended- also the cafe and shop in Roadwater.

  On 1st sight the accommodation looked good.

  ...however sofas not as advertised only enough for 4 people not 6 ! The skirting boards were falling off electrical wires exposed (outside) generally scruffy especially the window sills ( not wooden but plastic gaps exposed at each end) bed downstairs had a slat missing and others kept falling out only usable by 1 person. Woefully inadequate hanging space/wardrobes...2 hooks don't cut it! Shower downstairs had chunks of skirting /finishing missing. Great clumps of dust hair etc behind drawers and beds. V bad smell coming from under the sink ...we had to throw out any washing up pads etc before using. Sink in downstairs bathroom took ages to drain...also strong smell when plug was pulled. V disappointed overall....we didn't leave any feedback
