Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, with only a few isolated comments about dust and dirty crockery. The high standard of cleanliness is frequently mentioned, contributing to a very positive impression overall.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, proximity to local walks, and ease of access to Somerset's attractions. The scenic setting and quiet environment contribute to the high score in this category.
Comfort receives a slightly lower score due to mixed reviews. While many guests found the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, there were remarks about an uncomfortable mattress and a small sofa, which impacted the comfort level for some.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being described as well-equipped. However, some guests noted the absence of a fridge/freezer, DVD player, and issues with a sink plug and broadband quality, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance and facilities.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful touches, such as treats for both humans and dogs, which add to the welcoming atmosphere of the cottage. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such extras are subject to change and not guaranteed.

Tracey has put together a really helpful welcome pack about the cottage, places to visit, places to eat, local walks, as well as other useful info, she is also on hand if you have any queries. Crooks is in a good location for visiting Axbridge, Cheddar Gorge, Weston-Super-Mare, Wells, all of which worth a visit. The New Inn at Cross and The Lamb at Axbridge (best fish & chips Iâve had in a long time!) serve really good, homemade pub food and are dog friendly. A lot of careful thought has gone into Crooks, I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. I would highly recommend this property, our dog Jenny loved it too!

It had everything we needed. Tracey the owner was extremely helpful with ideas for cycling routes which we did - all of them. Visited Wells /Shepton Mallet /Glastonbury /Clevedon. Loved the area too. No hesitation recommending.

The property itself was perfect for the 2 of us. It has been renovated to a high standard, very clean and has some lovely touches. Would highly recommend to anyone and would happily return if we visited the area again.
