Garden View Reviews

Barrie

A delightfully peaceful location in a glorious part of Somerset. An unique thatched property which could have come from a picture postcard. Only one query what is the breed of the five chickens that wander around the front lawn in the morning?

Andrew

From arriving we were both blown away by how perfect the exterior of the cottage looked, and were as equally thrilled when we went inside. Lots of space and loads of storage in the kitchen, bedrooms and living room. The weather turned colder, we were concerned that previous reviews had said that the cottage was cold, this wasnt our experience at all, we were toasty warm throughout the cottage. Fred checked with us to see if we were warm enough and if we needed the heating turning up more, which we didnt. The hot tub, under a very starry sky, was wonderful after a busy day. Being close to the Devon boarder, it was great for us visiting family in Devon plus exploring Somerset coast and attractions including the West Somerset Railway. Were already planning our return to such idyllic surroundings.

Robert

The cottage is the most amazing getaway you could wish for. everything is provided and it's in excellent condition Loved the hot tub in the beautiful private gardens This house is really dog friendly and the fantastic owners made us so welcome. The nearest pub is a five minute drive away . All in all a wonderful break .

This is a beautiful house in a very peaceful part of the world. If you want to switch off and have a complete rest this is the place for you. The hot tub was lovely and the seating area outside was very relaxing. The host introduced herself and was very friendly and helpful. You can however drive to different places quite easily from this property. Would recommend and would love to stay again .

Lovely place, the only thing what was wrong was the door frame were low and my parent is tall and hit his head couple of times, was nothing said on advert about this and nothing warning you to mind your head. You can also hear people above you, altho this didnt bothered us. It's a gorgeous cottage tho and owners are lovely, welcoming and do go that Extra mile. We enjoyed are stay x

Garden view is a beautiful and extremely comfortable cottage. It is an ideal base for seeing the Dorset coast and north Devon coast with all of the countryside of Somerset in between. Plenty of places to eat just a short drive away but the cottage has a full size kitchen if you want to stay in and cook with a lovely farm shop about 10 minutes drive away. Fred the owner is welcoming and gave us lots of ideas for places to visit.

Caroline

Our fourth visit and plan to return. A very special place

Melissa

We loved this cottage so much. It was absolutely perfect!

Gillian

We just returned from our holiday at this cottage and would definitely stay here again. It was so peaceful and comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We used the hot tub in the evenings and what a view from the hot tub a beautiful garden full of flowers. Fresh flowers were in every rooms and the smell was lovely. We met Fred the host on the first day of our holiday and explained that we had forgotten our dogs heart tablets and asked if he knew of a vet that he could recommend and with his help we managed to get them supplied through the vets that he used after obtaining a prescription from our vet this is over and beyond every day service. I would feel happy to recommend this cottage to friends and family.

Katarina

Absolute magical place. We stayed 3 nights, with 2 kids and our dog. Place is clean and beautifully done. Owners are friendly and helpful. Will recommend this place to all people we know as we really enjoyed every minute there.

We were very happy overall with this stay. I would like to offer some ideas 1, Was very difficult to find initially. No google. Might be useful to place a ping as a QR code on the internet site. 2, Should highlight the keybox code in the intro email. 3, A clothes dryer would be great. 4, Some maintenance issues were attended to very promptly both in direct call to Skys and later in person with owners. 5, You may wish to trim the apple tree branches within the driveway as these impede damage free parking for all cars needing this at the site. Otherwise really enjoyed the stay. Sorry about the glass. We will be coming back. Thank you.

The heating is controlled by the owners and is not on all day. Our week was cold and wet and we chose to stay in a lot, but we felt very cold. Yes, there is a hot air heater in the lounge, but it was noisy and didn't offer the warmth we required. There were a couple of problems with the showers which were sorted out promptly and apologetically. As stated in the blurb, the owners live upstairs. Quite a bit of noise could be heard. For some reason, the master bedroom, with the ensuite and heated wet room, had the smaller bed. We chose to use the bedroom with the king size bed. The ensuite shower room for this bedroom was unheated. The hot tub was wonderful and the garden is beautiful.

Fantastic quiet location, lovely cottage, warm and cosy. Very comfy beds, we had fantstic break with our dog. We will come back.Thank you

A beautiful cottage in tranquil surroundings. Gorgeous walks for our four legged family member, and loads of days out only a short drive away including Steam Trains, harbours, the beautiful Jurassic coastline and some gorgeous towns too and all very dog and child friendly!. Our little one loved it so much hes not stopped asking when we will be going back and if we can pop to see the horses again tomorrow. We cant recommend this place highly enough. It really was the perfect family break.

Delightful location, a wonderful feeling of privacy and comfort. Kindly responsive owner. Everything as advertised I would recommend this property to anyone.

Angela

Garden View is a stunning cottage full of charm. If you want peace, quiet and a place to sit back, relax and unwind, this will be the place for you. Close to some good pubs with nice food short drive, and brilliantly located for exploring Somerset, Devon, Dorset and North Cornwall longish drive. Thanks to Fred and Margo for making our stay so welcoming.

Caroline

This was our third visit and we are already planning next year . Just love it we came home totally chilled.

Andrea

Beautiful cottage in a stunning setting. Owners very helpful and friendly.

We had a fantastic holiday which was so peaceful and relaxing after going out and about exploring the gorgeous scenery Devon has to offer. Facilities were top notch and beds really comfortable so we all had a brilliant nights sleep. Definitely recommend staying there and would go back again.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay, very homely would definitely recommend!

George

Lovely spot, off the beaten track though easy to reach, TauntonWellington a few minutes drive. Facilities first class, comfortable, warm, well equipped, surrounded by fields, farm animals and super walks.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful secluded and peaceful location, but conveniently positioned to visit both the North Somerset and DevonDorset coasts, Glastonbury, Wells, Taunton. We had a lovely restful stay and would highly recommend it.

Nicole

Fred and Margo were so helpful recommending places to stay. The cottage is nicely presented, quiet and within beautiful scenery. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. Great location with lots to do which is dog friendly. We will definitely be back.

Patrick

It was a beautiful cottage with a lovely garden. We liked to take the breakfast or the dinner in the garden smelling the pleasant smell of lavender. The cottage is ideal situated for discovering Devon an the south Somerset. The owners Margo and Fred were so friendly and had all ways good advices for things to do or for good pubs and restaurants! Es war ein sehr schnes Cottage mit einem wundervollen Garten. Wir genossen es, zu frhstcken oder zu Abend zu essen und dabei den Duft von Lavendel zu haben. Das Cottage ist ein idealer Ort, um Devon und Sdsomerset zu entdecken. Die Eigentmer Margo und Fred waren so freundlich und hatten stets gute Empfehlungen fr Unternehmungen oder fr ein gutes Pub oder Restaurant. Manu und Patrick aus Dresden

We found our holiday very relaxing if you want a quiet get away this is the place to go,its a great base point for exploring Somerset attractions. Both Fred and Margo were very welcoming and helpful.

A lovely cottage with a beautiful garden to relax in, nice cool cottage in the very warm weather we had. Very peaceful location considering its nice and close to the M5 for convenience, the owners are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The soundproofing is not completely quiet so you can hear upstairs a little and in their garden if that bothers you, we were OK with it. Nothing much in the kitchen so take any cooking ingredients you may want. Lots of attractions close by and lovely walks through woods from the cottage, nice to have the private hot tub. We had a lovely time and the dog enjoyed the garden, we would definitely return.

Haroon

We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful cottage. Fred and Margo were really welcoming and went out of there way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. We will definitely be back.

Caroline

Our second visit and will return again. Just perfect. Made to feel most welcome.

What a beautiful cottage, we had a peaceful stay in a fabulous setting. the garden and hot tub where so relaxing. Thank you for a great bank holiday weekend!

We have just returned from a wonderful, tranquil weeks holiday. Garden View Cottage is beautifully presented in gorgeous, peaceful countryside. The cottage itself is exactly what you would expect a country cottage to feel like with all the modcons, uniqueness and an added bonus of the wow factor. The garden offers great space for relaxation or a good run around for the dog or children. The garden is enclosed, although it does have a low brick wall at the end of it, so if your dog is an escape artist I would recommend tethering it. The cottage's location is fantastic for getting out and about. It's close enough to the M5, so you can whip up and down it to explore Somerset and North Devon. Thank you Fred and Margo for a lovely stay, we will be back soon.

Joanne

Loved our stay at garden view, the cottage was gorgeous with its thatched roof and we had lambs in the field at the back of our garden and a friendly horse and foal opposite. . so cute! The hot tub overlooking the countryside was great to relax in after a long dog walk! The garden isnt enclosed though so we had to make sure our dog was attached to a long lead any time she went outside but she loved it. She spent most of her time sat in the doorway watching the world go by.

Lovely holiday & excellent cottage only thing to let the whole experience down ... Lovely holiday & excellent cottage only thing to let the whole experience down is the good housekeeping bond of 350 still hasnt been refunded

Frances

We had a lovely week in this property. Ideally situated for our purposes. Dog walking and visiting family and friends in local area and further afield in Exeter and Bristol. Charming rural location and very peaceful. Our personal preference is for a bigger bed we chose the twins made up as a king and would have preferred a top quality mattress. Would certainly revisit. A welcoming and helpful host.

Christopher

We were generally very happy with our stay . The property itself is beautiful ! We had a very relaxing week, the owners were friendly ,polite and welcoming . We had small issues in that the property is listed as having super king size bed when the main bed is a double 54 , being that Im 67 and not far off 20 stone this was a bit of a squeeze so we actually ended up putting the single beds together in the second room to gain some extra space ! This in turn caused an issue as the ceilings are really low I kept banging my head ha ha so if youre tall be very careful

Matthew

We loved our stay at Garden View. Gorgeous property inside and out. Everything was clean and in working order. Very cosy, warm and relaxing. Hot tub was modern and luxurious. The owners were perfect. Extremely welcoming, friendly and assuring of our comfort there away from home. 100 book to stay here. Matt, Lauren, Siobhan and Gideon.

Just returned from a lovely relaxing week at Garden View. A beautiful cottage in a quiet location. Very comfortable and the hot tub is a great way to unwind after a day out exploring.

Very quiet relaxing cottage, just what was needed after a stressful time we all have had.

Melany

Very pretty cottage as per photos. Quiet nice location beautiful gardens. Fab shower rooms. Well stocked kitchen. Description did say 2 x super king i think only 1 was super king and the other was a king to my view. Rest was perfect.

Hannah

Excellent location for exploring Amazing Hosts

Owners were excellent, very helpful and kind, made our holiday just the best. Beautiful cottage, if anything the pictures don't do it justice, just stunning. Very central location, easy to get to all of Devon and Somerset from here. 7 year old and our dog very much catered for. Would absolutely return! 5 stars!
