Guests that stayed at this property said

Cleanliness has received mixed reviews. Some guests found the cottage to be very clean, while others reported issues with cleanliness in the kitchen and bathroom, including mould and limescale. The inconsistency in feedback suggests that cleanliness standards may vary.

The location is highly praised for being an excellent base for exploring nearby attractions and the coast. The quiet and tranquil setting is appreciated, although access can be challenging for larger vehicles due to narrow lanes.

Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a homely feel and comfortable beds in the twin room. However, some guests reported issues with the double bed and a lack of privacy due to broken blinds, which affects the overall comfort score.

Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and good communication from the owners. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a problematic shower mixer tap, broken blinds, and a radiator not working, which suggests room for improvement.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

About this property

A charming, semi-detached cottage, dating back to 1880, tucked away down a little single-track lane within the South Somerset village of Tatworth. The village is also known as South Chard and is just three miles from the town of Chard itself, near the borders of both Dorset and Devon. This lovely period cottage has been renovated to an extremely good standard, offering a delightfully comfortable home-from-home in Somerset. It has two bedrooms with windows overlooking the adjacent little lane, a bathroom where you can enjoy a soak after a long day outside, and a well-equipped, narrow galley kitchen, access from the dining room down two steps. The dining room has a warming, woodburner-style gas fire and a TV, meaning it can double up as a social space once dinner is over. The cosy sitting room has stairs to the first floor and features a warming open fire providing a further place for your group to socialise. Outside, there's a small private sitting area at the front and a private courtyard at the rear of the cottage, beside the little lane. When the sun is shining, you can sit out here with a book, or enjoy refreshments whilst you discuss your day’s activities. Close by are lovely rural walks to explore, whilst a short drive takes you into the nearby town of Chard, which offers an interesting selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. There are several historic houses and beautiful gardens to visit within an easy drive, including Barrington Court, Forde Abbey and Montecute House. Alternatively take the route south to the market town of Axminster, or take your buckets and spades and enjoy a fresh fish supper at the charming seaside resort of Lyme Regis. A superb holiday cottage in a wonderful village location, offering a comfortable and convenient base for enjoying South Somerset, East Devon and West Dorset. Note: This property is adjacent to Ref. 14229, together they sleep 9.

Tatworth is a delightful village, located near to the borders of Dorset and Devon. Sometimes referred to as South Chard, Tatworth has many attractive buildings and local cycle routes and walks available.
