Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, a single review mentioned issues with cleanliness, which slightly impacts the overall high standard noted by others.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to local walks, and ease of access to nearby attractions such as Cheddar Gorge and Wells. The scenic setting and quiet environment are recurrent positive points among guests.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the cosy atmosphere and comfortable furnishings. A few guests, however, had concerns regarding the mattress and sofa, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Reviews generally commend the well-equipped nature of the cottage, including the kitchen and the thoughtful addition of a wood burner. Some guests suggested the addition of a fridge/freezer and DVD player, and there were isolated comments about minor maintenance issues.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently acknowledged, with mentions of a welcome pack and treats for both guests and dogs, which added a special touch to the stay. While these gestures are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every visit.

Tracey the owner had thought of every comfort and was helpful providing valuable information on the best places to visit. The location of the property was in beautiful rural countryside yet not too far to easily visit places of interest. We intend to visit again Many thanks to Tracey kind regards Louise

Tracy the owner, had thought of everything necessary to make the cottage comfortable and easy to use. The decoration and general attention to detail was perfect. We thought the location was absolutely spot-on for exploring the Mendips with brilliant walks straight from the cottage. We would and shall highly recommend Crooks.
