A lovely house exceptionally well equipped with a large safe garden that the children loved. The owners were friendly and helpful. Plenty of off road parking. just about an hours easy drive to a lovely beach at Exmouth. good restaurants close by and plenty of shops in near bye Wellington.
MADE OUR CHRISTMAS!! Honestly couldn’t fault Holywell House from the warm welcome of the owner Vic to the all so many touches that he and his wife left us. The pictures don’t do justice to how spacious this house feels whilst being homely and in pristine condition throughout. The whole family agreed that the house was one of the best things about the trip (second only to Santa and presents!) We will be back! Thanks, The Denhams
Very well appointed, everything there you could need.
Lovely property, had everything we needed and a great host.
A beautiful house with everything you could think of to make a perfect break -beautifully decorated and furnished to high standard. Lovely welcome box with home made cake! Beds super comfortable - everything scrupulously clean. In a quiet village setting. Great base for exploring Somerset
Beautiful accommodation in a lovely quiet spot if Somerset. The house is absolutely beautifully appointed and equipped. We loved it and would definitely return again. The owners were also very helpful and ensured we were well provided for. Absolutely recommend!
I can't say enough good things about this property and the owners! The house was immaculate, very well equipped, had plenty of parking space, extremely comfortable, and overall had the perfect setup for our family gathering.
Excellent location excellent house and well equipped
Fab hosts and a great stay. We accidentally left a bottle Champers and lots of booze in the wine fridge, but the hosts deserved a little treat! Thank you. We would stay again.
Holywell House is a beautiful property, very well equipped and beautifully furnished. It was very peaceful and comfortable, we would definitely recommend this property. Unfortunately the local pub is closed at the moment for refurbishment which was disappointing.
Holywell house is a beautiful, comfortable and well equipped holiday home. The welcome hamper is much appreciated too. We have visited twice now and will definitely book again in the future. Cannot recommend highly enough.
A fine, clean, well-cared for house. Very comfortable and well-equipped. We were expecting the "stunning views" from the 1st floor to be open countryside, but they really are only the garden fence at the back and a building site at the front, so we felt the brochure description over enthusiastic in this respect.
We had a wonderful holiday at Holywell house. It is very central to visit Somerset, Devon and Dorset. The owners have put so much effort into the property which made for a very comfortable stay. Everything was spotlessly clean and modern. The beds and sofas are very comfy too. All mod cons are provided and lots of lovely extra touches like white fluffy towels and toiletries and a wonderful food hamper left for us. It is one of the best properties we have stayed at in the UK. All holiday homes should aspire to be like this one. We have already decided we will be booking again next year!
Excellent standard of accommodation and very well equipped.
High standard of accommodation with first class facilities.we were pleased to see they still had the the decorations up which delighted the younger members of the family.
The house was perfect exactly what we wanted. Interior was all brand new and very clean throughout. Great value for money!
Thank you for your lovely feedback for our great new property Holywell House.
Fantastic house, beautifully finished, really well equipped with everything we needed for an excellent Christmas stay. The owners live next door in the pub and were very friendly and helpful.

You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
