Somerset Holiday Cottages

Whether you are on the hunt for some true natural beauty or well-crafted man-made features, there are attractions aplenty in Somerset to suit all ages and interests.

The county boasts an enviable coast and untouched countryside, twinned with deep caves and winding canals; decide to go on an adventure or take advantage of the many places perfect for quiet contemplation.

Steeped in history, the ancient city of Bath is a must visit. As a World Heritage Site visitors will be wowed with dramatic architecture and interesting museums. An original spa town, the Roman baths and thermal spas are well worth a trip and for literary lovers, the Jane Austin Centre provides wonderful insight into the author’s life. With shops, galleries and eateries, the city is a great place to visit where marvellous countryside is just a stone’s throw away.

Somerset is blessed with a number of fascinating towns and villages whose roots can be traced back to Domesday and beyond. Wells Cathedral, featured in BBC’s Drama ‘Wolf Hall’ is among the most popular of Somerset’s attractions with its breath taking scissor arches.

Equally impressive is Glastonbury Tor, an iconic landmark that has a magic and mystery all of its own. This prominent hill is topped by the roofless St Michael’s Tower and is just full of mystery and legend.

Further dramatic scenery can be explored at Cheddar Gorge, which offers a fun day out for all the family. The Somerset levels provide wonderful walks across coastal moors; a great opportunity for nature lovers as parts of the Levels present the largest lowland population of breeding wading birds in southern England.

For those seeking some culture, Bruton offers a brand new world-class gallery and art centre run by Hauser and Wirth. Bath also has its fair share of wonderful galleries and fine eating establishments. Whatever you decide to do, you’re sure to find your stay an incredibly enjoyable one. Now you can choose a relaxing self-catering holiday cottage in Somerset to act as your home for the stay and to relax in after a busy day out seeing the sights!

18 DECEMBER 2017

Great facilities, very clean and WiFi let us stream HD Netflix no problem! Absolutely loved The Barn and would recommend it to anyone!

15 DECEMBER 2017

Amazing cottage in an lovely location. It was warm and friendly whilst being modern at the same time. The cottage had everything you could need. Our nearly three year old loved his “new house” for the week we stayed and was sad to leave.

6 OCTOBER 2017

Beautiful accommodation, lots of little details that made the holiday special. Fantastic location, loved the walks and ponds. Picnic basket set enticed us to a proper picnic for the first time in years. Great place for rest and relaxation

10 SEPTEMBER 2017

Lovely spacious and well-equipped property in a great location. A real rural retreat!

5 SEPTEMBER 2017

Excellent location. Cleanliness and quality of accommodation outstanding. Facilities top quality.
Only minor fault was welcome hamper which was poor - disappointed..

4 AUGUST 2017

We loved our stay at the barn. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Felt like a home away from home and would definitely stay there again!

14 FEBRUARY 2017

We loved our stay at the barn, the property is extremely well equipped and maintained to a high standard. The location is excellent and the ambiance of the site is very relaxing. A hamper of food and milk is provided on arrival which is a fantastic service. I have seen some criticism that this hamper includes gluten free products. I personally think it is wonderful that the owners accommodate people with other dietary needs and see no issue with this being provided. There is a local store nearby should you require. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and we will definitely be returning. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

27 JANUARY 2017

The Barn was perfect. Had everything you could ask for and the service was fanatastic. Kendal was very helpful and resolved any issues immediately.

17 JANUARY 2017

No alcohol! And gluten and dairy free. Very strange!!!!! Very lovely acomadation though.

24 OCTOBER 2016

Accommodation and fittings were first class, unfortunately the hamper was the poorest we have ever had. No fruit or cheese, the bread was out of date, coffee and
Tea poor. Only soya milk.

1 OCTOBER 2016

Might be worth checking the 'use by' date on food left in the hamper left for guests (which otherwise was lovely!).

29 SEPTEMBER 2016

Beautiful barn with a fantastic sunny courtyard, really peaceful setting with fantastic scenery.

20 SEPTEMBER 2016

Exceptional self catering, there was nothing to miss from home because literally everything was provided. Beautifully maintained cottage and surrounding farm lovely area, very highly recommended.

13 JULY 2016

The Barn is nicely appointed and reasonably equipped (although not fully to RR standards). The fact that the owners in a hospitality industry, think it appropriate to enforce their own dietary preferences (no gluten, no dairy, no alcohol) on their guests is extraordinary. We tried to unravel this in advance with the housekeeper to avoid being given and paying for gluten/dairy free option which would certainly not be our choice and ended up with half a hamper - no fruit, no eggs, no fruit juice, no filter coffee, no cereal. This isn't really acceptable.

25 APRIL 2016

excellent condition and very well euipped

4 APRIL 2016

Stunning Barn at Vobster and really clean..... BUT no Vodafone signal. Occasionally possible to send or receive a text, but phone calls necessitated walking half mile up the lane. This does need to be pre-advised to potential guests

Another wonderful review for the Toll House and Nether Stowey. Many thanks.

14 APRIL 2018

We had a wonderful short break in the Toll House - beautifully decorated and maintained, with everything you could need including a really useful welcome hamper of bread, milk etc. The location is quiet but perfect for getting to various sights and attractions nearby - we loved Dunster and Kilve Beach. Thank you for a lovely stay!

26 FEBRUARY 2018

Fantastic little place which is perfect for a short break..
good pubs, great local shops, great walks and plenty to visit nearby...
well recommended,

7 NOVEMBER 2017

Excellent. Quaint, cosy and just what we wanted :-) Lovely basket of goodies (bread, biscuits, cereal, jam), milk, eggs, wine and cheese in the fridge. Lovely fire in the wood stove ready to light. Lovely bathtub too. There is no phone signal or wifi which provided a welcome break. The local pubs have it, if you feel the need to connect. Drove to Watchet and East Quantoxhead for a really nice day trip. Many thanks for all your thoughtful touches!

7 NOVEMBER 2017

What a lovely review, thank you so much.

15 AUGUST 2017

We really like unusual properties and this fitted the bill. The village was perhaps a bit disappointing as there was a boarded up garage and a bric-a-brac shop that never seemed to open! That said we tried out all 3 pubs and found the staff and the locals to be really kind and friendly.

16 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for taking the trouble to leave a review of the Toll House. We are very pleased that you liked our quaint little property.

1 AUGUST 2017

Very cute, fun and interesting house. Very well equipped. Linen would have preferred cotton. Lots of interesting pieces in house some of them could have have been better dusted. No wifi which is a big minus.

3 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for your feedback for our dear listed former toll house. We agree it is cute and full of interesting things. I am sorry about the lack of Wifi which at the moment is not being considered.

23 JUNE 2017

the property was dark and gloomy, had been shut up and smelt musty,

3 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I have spoken with the owner who is extremely sorry you felt this way. As a property with slate floors and gothic windows it is always going to be dark but the owner is mystified by the musty smell and is investigating.

12 JUNE 2017

Lovely cottage but lacking in recycling facilities while was disappointing

15 JUNE 2017

There should be recycling boxes by the dustbins however twice in the past the boxes have been stolen so perhaps they have been taken again. They will definitely be replaced.

30 JANUARY 2017

Brilliant little hide away

Beautiful cottage, so quaint! Lovely sleepy village setting. The welcome hamper was ample and so generous - thank you!

12 DECEMBER 2016

Lovely little cottage in super village. Owner responded very quickly when there was a problem with the front door lock, could not have asked for more.

6 NOVEMBER 2016

11 OCTOBER 2016

9 OCTOBER 2016

Wonderful cottage in good location

26 SEPTEMBER 2016

My parents loved the toll house that we sent them to. Sounds like it was little and cosy and a perfect little getaway. Thank you!

12 SEPTEMBER 2016

A bigger bed would have made things more comfortable, lovely inside, pictures a little creepy. Don't think I would book a cottage without a garden again but did really enjoy the stay.

30 AUGUST 2016

Lovely historical property with charming features, shame there was was a lot of the cleaning apparatus on show such as the vac and mop bucket in the kitchen next to the fridge. Lots of locked storage for personal storage, in such a tiny property, a more stripped back approach to storing would have been better. Could be at risk of feeling like you've borrowed someone's home rather than being in a holiday cottage. Really comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom and fire places. Really nice location for walking. Quantocks well worth a visit. Overall a really pleasant holiday, thank you.

26 JULY 2016

Beautifully presented property. Very clean and everything felt fresh. Welcome hamper was particularly welcome!

31 MAY 2018

A very well equiped and luxurious cottage. We especially appreciated the very generous welcome basket and all the little extras that made our stay so enjoyable.

21 MAY 2018

A very beautiful house in a wonderful setting overlooking the Cathedral in Wells.

10 MAY 2018

The house was very special. There are not many holiday let's that have a view of a cathedral. The decor, furnishings, cleanliness were 5 star. Never ever have we stayed in a cottage that not only provided a wonderful selection of food etc, but a basket of yummy chocolates was the icing on the cake.

24 APRIL 2018

A well-appointed, comfortable house in the perfect location. The welcome basket was very generous with everything we needed to get started.

2 APRIL 2018

Everything we have come to expect from Rural Retreat holidays. This time the situation of the cottage was especially charming and convenient. We hope to return sometime.

19 MARCH 2018

Fabulous house, beautifully presented (thank you Janet!). Loved the comfy lounges, the enormous beds and the high spec bathrooms. The hamper, toiletries and flowers were luxurious touches which made our holiday special. Would definitely return!

10 JANUARY 2018

A stunning house in a lovely location over looking the cathedral. Everything was excellent with lots of extra touches.The welcome hamper was fantastic and as always there was everything you could wish for. A lovely way to see in 2018.

21 DECEMBER 2017

Wow! An excellent place in a wonderful location. Such a lovely accommodation, beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. We all enjoyed staying at 7a Cathedral Green and it was so convenient with shops, restaurants and the cathedral literally on your doorstep. We would have no hesitation booking to stay here again. Also included was a very generous hamper which covered all our needs. It was perfect - thank you.

21 DECEMBER 2017

The amazing reviews for 7a Cathedral Green continue. Everyone loves this beautiful property and we are very grateful for your kind comments.

11 DECEMBER 2017

A beautiful town house, just perfect for us in many ways **

7 DECEMBER 2017

A lot of thought and care has gone into this cottage. Very comfortable, clean and with a very generous welcome pack. The local shops are just a short walk across the green in front of the cathedral - a spectacular sight as you step out of the front door. We loved it.

14 NOVEMBER 2017

Delightful situation. Beautifully furnished interior. Wonderfully equipped. Only problem was finding a route to reach the parking space for the first time. We drove three times round the city before managing to work out the correct route as we were repeatedly defeated by the one-way systems.

7 NOVEMBER 2017

Wonderful accommodation, beds very comfortable. Location fantastic. Welcome basket the best we've ever had with Rural Retreats. This home is obviously cared for and makes every effort for their guest to enjoy the facilities.

8 NOVEMBER 2017

Once again a perfect review for 7a Cathedral Green. Thank you.

15 SEPTEMBER 2017

A fantastic property in a stunning location. Extremely clean and comfortable, well equiped with everything that we needed. We had a very relaxing time and highly recommend 7A Cathedral Green.

Brilliant position to visit Bath

27 DECEMBER 2016

Amazing apartment and Joyce the housekeeper did so much to make our stay perfect. The welcome hamper was much appreciated and all of the instructions and information beforehand was really helpful.

24 NOVEMBER 2016

I would actually rate the housekeeping service by Joyce, as excellent. However, our stay at Catharine Place, Bath was spoilt by disturbance from the flat above. Loud footsteps and creaking floorboards made a considerable impact on our sleep and ability to enjoy this beautiful, well situated property. Because of this, we will not be returning.

26 SEPTEMBER 2016

Housekeeping excellent. No wifi is an issue as is noise from neighbouring flats otherwise mark would be excellent

15 AUGUST 2016

Big shout for Joyce who couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you.

19 JULY 2016

Very good property in the heart of Bath. No excuse to not have wifi in the property these days.

6 JULY 2016

Our 2nd stay here, 5 yrs after the first - had forgotten how much we liked it so have booked a return already. Lack of wifi an issue for some family members....

5 MAY 2016

This was below the usual Rural Retreats standards. Bed wasn't very comfortable, some maintenance issues needed attention, including dangerous mirrored intrusion in hallway and peeling wall paper. Very hard to collect keys through housekeeper, who didn't answer the phone but always called back. Wifi is essential now, not an option. The commercial BT alternative is expensive and unreliable. Supply wifi as others do, even if it means charging a little more per night. Everyone else does that.

24 MARCH 2016

Due to the many stairs anybody who is disabled would not be able to access the place. I don't think that was on the literature. Fortunately the stairs made us fitter! But what a pleasure the apartment was.

7 MARCH 2016

Excellent

22 FEBRUARY 2016

1 FEBRUARY 2016

The apartment was great, Joyce the housekeeper was lovely. Only criticism was the garage was tiny and difficult to get in and out of and I only have a TT, and quite a walk to get to/from if it's pouring with rain.

15 JULY 2015

The accommodation was very good. There was only one problem which was that the 2 sofas were very uncomfortable - ok for a short time only.

This was a beautiful apartment with all amenities provided. A lovely food hamper was waiting for us on our arrival. Everywhere was clean and there was a beautiful private garden. The building was steeped in 250 years of history and was a great base for our visit to Bath.

27 FEBRUARY 2018

Great location and it's a nice feeling leaving the front door - one very minor point it's worth letting people know that the access stairs are quite narrow; they are quite a challenge when you're carrying a large suitcase.

I would recommend it to anyone.

21 JANUARY 2016

Our housekeeper was great but the apartment was poorly maintained. We only had enough hot water for 1-1/2 showers per day, until we figured out that the owner had the system set to heat water in the morning. Also the bathrooms both needed updating and the furniture was tired and worn.

Beautifully finished conversion inside and out. Pleasant surroundings
Inside was clean and welcoming, all facilities you could require for a relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend this property.

17 JULY 2017

It was a great location with nearly all the amenities you could require and the large shower was wonderful. Fantastic outdoor space with the bonus of a conservatory, useful when the wind was blowing outside. A good base to explore the surrounding area with lots of walks in the locality.
However, for US the property would be 5 star if a larger fridge was provided as it was difficult to get all our food in refrigeration and there was only 2 of us! A freezer would also have been useful. A DVD player is a must in luxury accommodation although the quality of the TV was excellent. Finally it was very difficult to get any ventilation in the bedrooms at night as there were no opening windows - only patio doors - a security worry? The hamper was very welcome, however the contents could be less sugar based. Although we were warmly welcomed on arrival there was no one about to give feedback at the end of the rental. We appreciate this is a new property so hope these comments will prove helpful.

11 JULY 2017

The property is a lovely, light-filled space in a delightful spot. Facilities are perfect for a relaxing break. Good point to start exploring the area. Choice of items in the starter hamper delicious.

See what I wrote in 1st part of review

21 JULY 2017

It's a lovely house, great setting, beautiful garden, clean and well decorated. Local people were very pleasant and friendly. Good family-friendly holiday (except for stairgate issue mentioned below). Kitchen great for cooking and the basket of food was a really kind addition. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and it was such a comfortable bed.

We were pretty surprised when we arrived and discovered the no alcohol policy. We were a small group with infants and I'm pregnant so it wasn't a big deal, but if you're going to tell adults they can't drink alcohol then it should be made pretty clear in advance. There was something about "please no drinking on the farm" in the online particulars but we had no idea that meant no alcohol in the house all weekend.

The main problem was the lack of stairgate at the bottom of the stairs. I specifically inquired about this before booking and made sure there would be stairgates. In the days before we arrived we spoke to the owner who confirmed the stairgates would be in place. But when we arrived the bottom one wasn't there, and we found it broken in the cupboard. I was pretty disappointed as this was very important to me with two toddlers.

21 JULY 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted you had a lovely holiday and my sincere apologies for the lack of stair-gate. The owners want their properties to be a place of deep rest and therefore have a no alcohol policy. I appreciate that this is not for everyone and we do try to ensure that guests are aware of this before they book. If a booking is made online the following pop up comes up to be ticked - Please confirm you are aware of the alcohol restriction at this property. When a booking is made by phone our booking team always point out the restriction.

Stunning cottage and location. Great for the family and added bonus of having access to the farm. My nephew (3 yrs) loved the goats and the duck castle😀 Also my mum (84yrs) loved the downstairs bedroom. Something for all ages. Definitely recommend a stay and look forward to trying other Rural Retreat cottages.

Really old cottage beautifully renovated in an excellent location within walking distance of two pubs and a great farm shop also nearby.

Well presented - attention to detail and support when there was a power cut; a personal service which was appreciated.

You won’t find better! It’s a special place, so well thought out as a holiday destination. It is suitable for families, couples all year round.
We particularly liked its location and it’s quiet ambiance. Froze, Bath Westbury and Bristol all very handy as is the train from Westbury to Exeter...direct and in 60 mins!

I agree! Redbridge Cottage is a lovely property and thank you for your great comments.
