Good location and comfy beds however most amenities in cottage certainly not luxurious; slipper bath, obviously billed as luxury, had coating peeling away severely ; twin room had no chest-of-drawers; double room had no wardrobe or chest-of-drawers and curtain pole falls down; dining table in kitchen area barely big enough for two people let alone four and oven dirty on arrival and when eating at table felt like sitting in corridor; sitting room barely big enough for two and furniture threadbare and uncomfortable; heating makes noise like a machine gun at times. None of the above could have been rectified by informing the owners at the time we stayed. In conclusion, we found this cottage not appropriate to be termed or charged as luxurious and therefore would not recommend.

Great cottage, cosy, very comfy beds, well equipped, superbly situated for Wells and all its amenities! We had a great weekend for a friends birthday, and were met by the lovely owners with a tasty goody basket! Would highly recommend and stay again!
