    Great little place that is located in the heart of Cheddar. Perfect for what we needed, good base for walking and some decent food places within walking distance.... a lot bigger than we were expecting!

    This is a beautiful property excellently furnished and fitted out and exactly mirrored its description. The location is very good being only a couple of hundred yards to the centre of the village with good restaurants and facilities. It does have a gorge view and a lovely large wild garden. The best property we have stayed in.

    Mary and huw are the most fabulous people, welcoming and genuinely warm, both very unintrusive and lovely, everything was covered and we didn't need to ask for anything, the property is clean and located in a prime position with views straight to cheddar gorge, we booked for our 10th wedding anniversary and it was money very well spent, there is access to walks very close in every direction and its a 2 minute walk to the gorge and all its quant little tea rooms and cheese/cider shops, i just can't find enough ways to say how perfect this little gardeners cottage is and if offered we would move in permanently tomorrow, i would recommend this place and Mary and huw as hosts to anyone looking for that something special. So looking forward to our return. Thank you again and much love to you.

    In a great location just out of the village but within walking distance to all amenities. The cottage is lovely, very comfortable and tastefully furnished and the owners were very friendly & helpful. I especially enjoyed the eco slant to the cottage - no artificial smells from sheets, use of eco products etc There's some great walks on the Mendips nearby and Glastonbury & Wells are also within easy reach. I can highly recommend this cottage.

    Charming little cottage in pristine condition with a wonderful view of gorge and village; a very short walk to pubs, shops, and delicious ice cream (over 50 flavors!). Host Hew was most helpful and pleasant. Home garden supplied us with fresh raspberries! Stayed nine days in Somerset, first time, while exploring the area and searching for ancestral roots in towns and villages. Cheddar Gorge Village is delightful, with wonderful history, and Cheddar cheese is actually produced right there. The nearby grocery is well stocked; we LOVED the Warburton's multi-grain bread! Also arranged for special sunrise tour of Stonehenge and tour of Roman Baths; met tour group from London at site, excellent and highly recommend. Attended a local Rotary dinner meeting at Burrington and met wonderful, interesting locals. A special visit was arranged for us to meet with the Rotarian member/proprietor and tour his family operated Lye Cross Farms, which produces wonderful cheeses and more! It is a totally integrated, self-sustaining farming system of which the family and Somerset should be very proud! As we were told, the cow reigns supreme!!! FYI, ensuite bedroom is upstairs, but no problem negotiating stairs. Driveway entrance/exit onto very narrow two-way lane requires great caution, esp. for Americans driving on wrong side of roads! Also, guests should bring bath soaps and shampoo. If we return to the area would stay again and will recommend to fellow travelers!
