Guests say

Russet Cottage in Cheddar, Somerset, is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its comfortable furnishings, well-stocked kitchen, and beautiful location. The property offers a peaceful setting ideal for family gatherings, with a micro-brewery on-site adding to its charm. While some guests noted minor issues, the overall experience is one of a cosy, welcoming retreat that is highly recommended by many.

Most guests found the cottage to be cosy and clean. However, one review mentioned the need for a more thorough cleaning of the showers' grout, suggesting room for improvement in this area.

The location is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to local attractions. However, one guest found it too remote for walking to shops, which may affect those preferring closer amenities.

The property is generally seen as comfortable and spacious, with quality furnishings. A few guests, however, mentioned issues with the brightness of the rooms and the height of the sofas, which could affect guests with mobility issues.

The reviews provide mixed feedback on facilities and maintenance. While the kitchen is well-equipped and the property spacious, there are comments about the noise from the brewery, difficulty with the front door, and a lack of wardrobes in some bedrooms. Due to the varied nature of the feedback, a definitive score cannot be provided.

Guests appreciated the carrot cake provided, indicating a level of thoughtfulness. However, the lack of a more comprehensive welcome pack was noted, and as such gifts are not guaranteed, this affects the score.

    • Mr Easen

      The cottage was lovely, very well equipped cosy, clean and comfortable, highly recommended for a break with friends, the 3 bathrooms was definitely a perk.

    • Mrs Thorne

      We had a wonderful time. We were celebrating 3 big family birthdays and had hired a private chef to cook for us on the Saturday evening. Louisa and co could not have been more accommodating and Russet Cottage had all the space and equipment chef needed to cook and serve a fabulous meal for 7 plus toddler. Friday night at the on site microbrewery was the perfect start to our holiday and Graham also supplied us with delicious ales for our meal. Fantastic walks all around and an easy drive to the Avalon Marshes.
