What our customers say about their holidays

  We found the East Wing to be spotlessly clean, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped.

  It is clear that the owners have spared no expense to provide the highest quality in every respect. From the kitchen appliances and equipment to superb towels and bedding we could not have been happier. During a rather damp and dreary week of exploring the local area in early March it was a great pleasure to return to such a comfortable base and light the log burner. The local Waitrose store is just a few minutes away and provided us lots of 'goodies' which were easy to prepare in the lovely kitchen. There are several eating places and pubs in Crewkerne but we only ate out once, preferring the comforts in our 'home from home'. There is private off road parking at the rear of the property. The owners live on site and are happy to help with local information and any problems that might arise. If there is any criticism it is not of the property but of the busy road that passes in front of it. The traffic noise is rather intrusive, particularly in the morning and evening. We must stress that there were just two of us and we were not unduly troubled by this. We slept in the lovely rear bedroom which overlooks the garden and was silent. If both bedrooms were needed, those sleeping in the front bedroom might find it a little noisy if they are light sleepers. All in all, an exceptional property and the best holiday rental we have stayed in, anywhere! A real credit to the owners.

  The property was better than we expected.

  We thought we would be on top of each other as It is not a big property but the use of the space is excellent. The kitchen is very well equipped plenty of crockery and cutlery. And lots of little things that you often miss when you are in a holiday cottage. Real home from home. The large beds are extremely comfortable and clean. The bath in our en-suite was so comfortable i used it more than the shower.I am reliably informed that the shower in the other en-suite was very powerful. Despite the host being away for the holidays . I was contacted by a very friendly Victoria who ensured that we had all the details we needed and contacts in case we needed anything and all the local information we needed. The “shed” next door is worth a look. I bought a beautiful Christmas decoration (but it’s so lovely I can’t put it away ) the locals are very friendly . The bread in the bakery on the high st is delicious and the sausage rolls are the best I’ve tasted. I could go on for ever. This was one of the best properties we have rented for facilities and location.

  If i was an estate agent, i'd say this property has the wow factor!

  !! Far bigger than the pictures make it look, large lounge area & kitchen downstairs, upstairs two double bedrooms with en suites & amazing power showers, both have very comfortable king size beds. Turn left out of the property & a thirty second walk you are at the White Hart pub, good food in there. Cross the rd & you have a fish & chip shop, The Crooked Swan pub, Chinese & Indian take aways, also very close as are Oscars wine bar, again great food & Bar5 a microbar that does amazing pizzas! If you are a dog owner turn right out of the property, walk up to the zebra crossing, walk up Clammer Hill Lane & you reach Bincomb Beeches, a great place to walk your dogs & good for off lead, our two loved it!! For trips out, Sherborne, Glastonbury, Wells & Frome are all relatively close, if its a beach you want, Burton Bradstock & West Bay are about 20 mins away. Victoria the owner is very helpful, but not at all intrusive & is next door if needed. We will be back!!! Mark & Kim 22nd-29th Sept 2023

  Cottage was nicely presented, clean and tidy and is in a good position to explore North Wales.

  However we found the downstairs space small for 3 adults and a teenager, although it is a three bedroom cottage. Would be ideal for 2 -3 people. No wardrobe in main bedroom. The description said the kitchen table could be open for four however it would be very squashed with one person having to sit in the corridor which leads to the bathroom and another would be sitting with a step behind them. Kitchen was adequately sourced, no drainer or chopping boards. Not a problem if you want to eat out. Had to keep switching on the hot water booster to get any, particularly in the morning and evening. Only outdoor space is at the front of the property but there is a lovely park near by. Unfortunately we had builders in next door from 8am on two of the days. Can highly recommend Zip World which is only 5 minutes away but the steam railway is very expensive.

  We cannot recommend 'The East Wing' highly enough, or the attention to detail the owners go to ensure your comfort.

  We given a brief introduction to the cottage, however as the information provided in the property was so good it didn't take long at all. The wonderful touch of being greeted with a bottle of wine and a bag of doggy treats set the tone for our short break, as did finding that the owners had anticipated our needs and comfort though-out the property from the little care packages in each bedroom to leaving milk in the fridge. The sofas and beds were comfortable, the duvets snuggly and the pillows and towels fluffy; what else do you need! The only downside was that being open plan the downstairs can get a little chilly as it is a big space to heat (we were visiting over a chilly April Bank Holiday), but once the heating gets going it is very good. We would love to visit again, Simone and Martin.
