Stable Cottage in Somerset is highly praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and welcoming hosts, Phil and Fran. Guests frequently mention the delightful coffee and walnut cake, beautiful garden, and the cottage's proximity to scenic walks and wildlife. While most experiences are positive, a few guests noted issues with maintenance and comfort.
The majority of guests describe the cottage as spotlessly clean and well-maintained, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is celebrated for its tranquillity, stunning views of the Quantocks, and access to local walks. The closure of the nearby pub is a minor drawback for some.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable and cosy, though there are isolated comments about the property being cold upon arrival and suggestions for a larger TV.
Facilities are deemed well-appointed and sufficient for a short break. However, there are remarks about a broken freezer handle and a malfunctioning electric fire, slightly affecting the score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with special notes on the welcome cake and flowers. While these gestures are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
