A perfect property for our family in a perfect location to explore Somerset. We had a super time in this well equipped cottage. The owners are very welcoming and I'm certain would resolve any issues in the highly unlikely event you had any, we didn't have any. What a fabulous time we had, thank you again.

We've been going to England for years and renting a house for a week. This one was the very best in terms of amenities. It really lacked nothing. It was also absolutely and perfectly clean. A generous welcome pack awaited us, so we didn't have to go shopping on the first evening. The only downside was that the internet frequently broke down in the Read moreevenings, which was a bit annoying when you rely on it. Perhaps something could be improved. But full recommandation.

Lovely home from home. Quiet location with stunning views. Location is ideal for antiques in Crewkerne, and only an hour from Lulworth Cove or Wells. Very will appointed property with all the comforts of home which you can enjoy come rain or sunshine.

We had a very lovely time at The Roost! The owners are very helpful, left a welcoming hamper of granola/milk/eggs/bread/biscuits. Plus tea/coffee/Nespersso pods for machine/cling film/foil, this was appreciated. A true home away from home, gorgeous living room and lovely big hall way, where we could put a large dog crate. Beautiful 100% cotton lineRead morens and fluffy towels, of the highest quality, wool duvets/pillows. The Paddock is not quite secure for an inquisitive 18 month labrador. Thank you Hide

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location. Beautifully furnished, with white fluffy towels and quality bedlinen. One of the best equipped houses we have stayed in, you'll want for nothing here!

A perfect stay at the Roost. Very comfortable and beautifully equipped. Its all these little extra touches!! A sat nav is needed as you can get easily lost in the small lanes.
