Guests say
Beer Farm is a remote, dog-friendly cottage in Taunton that offers peace and quiet, wildlife, and a relaxing atmosphere. It features a swimming pool, games room, and multiple TVs. While some guests feel it could benefit from updates and a thorough clean, the property is generally appreciated for its character and family space.
Several reviews mention the presence of cobwebs and a general need for a good clean, indicating that cleanliness could be improved.
The location is praised for its remoteness and tranquility, which is ideal for guests seeking a quiet retreat. The property is also described as dog-friendly with fields for exercise.
The accommodation is described as comfortable with everything needed for a stay. However, some guests suggest the need for fans during hot weather and mention that the TV lounge is a bit small.
Facilities like the swimming pool and games room are highlights, but there are reports of maintenance issues such as dampness, electrical problems, and a lack of instructions for pool settings.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Thank you Beer Farm for an Amazing Holiday. I read a lot of previous reviews, and Is it remote - Yes, Is it away from People - Yes, Is it showing signs of wear - Yes but this adds the the character of the property. If your after quiet, relaxation, wildlife and an amazing place to stay Beer Farm is for you. I only wish I could afford to live in a place like this. Thank you again 😎

We had a week at Beer Farm. The property and grounds suited us down to the ground l. We were five adults with three dogs. There was an adjacent field to exercise the dogs which was ideal. The property was sheltered and secluded and fitted the description of a "get away from it all" to a tee. The swimming pool was clean and totally functional a great bonus. The Wifi was fine as we're the furnishings beds etc.. The kitchen dinner was a great family space but the TV lounge a bit on the small side. No holiday house is perfect and we found the kitchen a bit restricted from the equipment viewpoint but we managed just fine.I would say the cottage was excellent value for money and if you love this part of the world as we do you will love it.

We have stayed at Beer Farm several times, but it really needs some TLC now. The games room and equipment were showing signs of damp 3 years ago and this has continued to progress. There is also an electrical issue in the 2nd building which has also been going on for several years.
