Cozy cottage!

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage that has all the needed essentials except a microwave oven. Great to have the Coop store across the street, and although walkable restaurant options are limited, we enjoyed the Chinese takeout just a couple minutes away.

Christmas with family

Fern Cottage is delightful. It really felt like we had rented a cottage like in The Holiday. Communication with Christina was brilliant too, even on Christmas day! Highly recommended

Beautiful Cottage

We booked this cottage just a few weeks ago as a suprise to take my elderly mother away for the weekend. The communication ftom Christina was probably the best i have had. She was helpful, informative and kind. The location of the property is fab bei g between Bath, Bristol and Wells so a great place for visiting all these places. The cottage is next door to a pub but you dont know its there as there os no noise and in fact when we went next door for a drink we were made very welcome its a proper local with a pool table. Theres also an excellent italian restaurant about 10 mins walk from the cottage and a coop right across the road so its absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

Lovely house/host

Really lovely house. Kitchen very well stocked which makes a change from places stayed in before. So handy to have cookjng oil, clingfilm etc.There was even a drawer with lightbulbs, batteries, fire lighters etc incase anything went. We didnt need to use but appreciate the thoughtfulness of this. Beautiful bath! Some low doorways which my 6ft + son struggled with a bit but adds to character of property. There is a pub next door which isnt mentioned on listing but didnt affect us at all. Not noisy, parking ok all week and when we walked past people where friendly. Really enjoyed our stay. Local Greyfield woods was a nice little find with a small waterfall. Host was very good to communicate with and checked in on us. Would recommend.
