It was well equipped and the off road parking was a bonus, albeit a right squeeze manoeuvring in and out of with other cars present. There were two major flaws for me; the mattress and pillows were cheap and extremely uncomfortable. Given the standard of the downstairs, this was a real disappointment. The second was a lack of washing machine. I personally would have sacrificed the dishwasher for one. When you are back from a beach walk with a wet dog, it would have been so lovely to chuck towels etc in. If those two points were addressed, I would be back at every opportunity!

Ideally located for the Jurassic Coast, Glastonbury and many other places of interest. The cottage is beautiful and very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need and there was even a pint of milk in the fridge and some welcome treats! The village is lovely and we received a warm welcome from the locals in the Royal George Inn. The Sunday roast was amazing! And a scotch egg or West Coker Cannonball from the local butchers, still warm from the oven is a must. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. Myself and my family will definitely be back. Thank you Holly Cottage for a lovely holiday.

I would definitely recommend this cottage. Even with the road blocked off due to road work it was not noisy. A lovely little pub and lovely residents. The property has everything you could want. We will definitely be back.
