Snaptrip says
Surridge Farmhouse in Somerset is a well-loved holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests enjoyed the property's character, tranquil location, and the added luxury of a hot tub. While some minor issues were noted, the farmhouse's charm, beautiful surroundings, and the owner's responsiveness left a positive impression on visitors.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The farmhouse generally received positive remarks on cleanliness, with bedrooms and bathrooms being well-kept. However, some guests noted areas for improvement, including dog hair on carpets and the presence of litter outside, which slightly affected the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, stunning views, and wildlife, contributing to a relaxing getaway. The secluded setting was appreciated, although the narrow access lanes were noted as challenging by some guests.
Guests found the farmhouse to be comfortable, with special mentions of sumptuous bedding and towels, comfy beds, and cosy fireplaces. Some feedback suggested that certain beds were a bit uncomfortable and that the single room could be better appointed.
The farmhouse is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and the hot tub was a favourite feature. However, guests reported some maintenance issues such as problems with hot water, Wi-Fi access, and outdoor furniture needing attention, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While some guests mentioned a lack of a welcome pack, which is often appreciated, there is insufficient information to determine if this is a consistent issue or a one-off occurrence. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.
About this property
At the foot of the quietly beautiful Brendon Hills and on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, near the small hamlet of Waterrow is Surridge Farmhouse. This handsome, detached Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century, stylishly combines elegant modern living with original period features. On the ground floor, you'll find a smart kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and additional conventional oven, an excellent dining room with wood burning stove and an enormous 29ft lounge with fireplaces at either end, traditional beamed ceilings and original window seats. The games room with TV/DVD, bean bags, table football is perfect for rainy days or just keeping the children occupied. The original half-turn staircase leads up to five bedrooms; the enormous master double with lovely views and an en suite shower room, two smart doubles, a twin and a single room. Two further bathrooms complete the accommodation. Surridge Farmhouse sits in a ring fence of 80 acres of pasture and woodland with its own Iron Age Fort perfect for exploring, or perhaps relax in the illuminated six person hot tub on the large south facing patio whilst taking in the endless views across the surrounding countryside. Whichever you choose you're sure to have a fantastic holiday in a truly peaceful spot.
This town is on the edge of Exmoor in the Brendon Hills. A base for outdoor pursuits from fishing on the Clatworthy Reservoir or Wimbleball Lake, horse-riding or walking through countryside. There are shops in Wiveliscombe as well as a butcher, antique shops, a gunsmith and Court House shop. The village is half an hour from North Somerset's beaches. The towns of Dulverton and Bampton are within driving distance. A perfect holiday destination with good facilities and leisure pursuits.

We enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful gardens surrounded by the countryside whilst luxuriating in the hot tub. We spent a lot of time in large family sized kitchen, warmed by the Aga, making and eating some lovely meals together. Later we lit the fire in the lounge and spent hours playing quiz games. The bedrooms were spacious, warm and comfortable.

Perfectly equipped, the open fire was amazing. The hot tub was an added bonus. We would definitely book this property again.

The house was well equipped and any issues were sorted immediately by the owner. (The outside umbrella was broken and a new one was ordered straight away!) It had lovely grounds and the perfect place to use as a base to explore the local towns.
