What our customers say about their holidays

  The Folly is beautiful and extremely well equipped.

  We loved the garden and were lucky enough to have glorious weather so we were able to sit by the pond almost every day to relax and watch the bees. We walked across the fields several times to visit Mere - a lovely little village with a beautiful church. We definitely recommend The Butt of Sherry for a fantastic Sunday lunch - the staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was excellent. We also visited The Walnut Tree - a little further on but accessible via a public footpath opposite The George Inn. Another lovely lunch. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We visited Stourhead - twice as it was so beautiful. It is literally a 7 minute drive but you can spend a whole day enjoying the beautiful gardens, and having lunch at The Spread Eagle. We visited Monacute House, which is another lovely National Trust site with lovely walks, and a few nice pubs for lunch. Colin and Claire are wonderful hosts, very friendly and helpful with lots of local knowledge - the homemade jam and marmalade were delicious! This week has been an oasis of calm during a very difficult year - we have had a wonderful time and are going home with recharged batteries and fond memories.

  Fantastic location and accommodation and I would recommend it to anyone, and you do get your exercise steps in going from car to Folly and up and down the stairs its not for the unfit.

  As I have already said lovey in every aspect we sat out on patio every morning having breakfast watching the squirrels and birds in the trees, and at night sitting next to pond having a beer after a hard day sight seeing watching the stars brilliant. The owners left lovely welcome pack tea-coffee bread bacon and lovely home made jams all very nice. We loved are stay at the Folly the only problem we had was we stayed in July 2021 when temperatures where +29 degrees most days and the bed room gets very hot it has no windows and as a mezzanine floor in the apex of the roof heat rises so very warm at night we had two fans running every night "sorry if Colin's electric bill is higher than normal" There is one other thing that would have been nice in that the folly is ideal for romantic holiday it is lovely but in the lounge there are only two single seats we felt a nice sofa you can cuddle in on and watch a little TV at night would have been nice. I have no negatives about the folly we loved our holiday if you want a quiet stay in fantastic location with great accommodation you should try the Folly. regards Mike

  Can't praise this little Annexe and the hosts Lucy and Chris enough.

  The supplies (food basics and extras, toiletries, cleaning products) and facilities provided were above and beyond - they thought of everything. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, all good quality. The sofa is lovely and large. The bedding is such lovely quality and the bed very comfy. I didn't want to get up. The views are lovely, even in winter, and there is a safe route to take dogs for walks between the fields and up to the woods. Our dog loved it. We loved seeing the horses too. All made for a very enjoyable stay over New Year. One little thing to be aware of is the steps to the bedroom are quite steep and narrow, so might be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Also, the road at the front of the property does not have pavement in either direction, so its not safe to walk straight out. Car needs to be used to get to anywhere else for walks/ food/ pub/ shops especially in the evening. All in all, we would definitely recommend a stay at the Clarendon Stud!

  This was one of the best holidays homes we have stayed at.

  Very quirky layout which made the absolute best of the beautiful surroundings. (Do mind your head I only made the mistake once C you said on arrival - it would only be the once )! The owners are close by and very approachable without being overbearing, they have a wealth of local knowledge and are happy to assist in any way they can. The homemade preserves have been mentioned in many reviews but they were marvelous. We loved this place and truly do hope to return. We enjoyed fabulous country walks and in Mere the facilities are great (co-op, grocer, pubs). We can highly recommend the Butt Of Sherry for good value, well prepared food and the chap front of house is such an asset he made us so very welcome - no need to drive anywhere if you don't want to just a 10 min walk across the Monarchs Way. Thank you C&C, Bunny and Biscuit from Andy, Elaine and Bess

  Lovely property in beautiful surroundings, this really is an ideal retreat to relax and unwind.

  Quiet and secluded, theres a nice well kept garden for the dog to run about in and a lovely pond to sit by and relax, with plenty of wildlife. Split over 3 levels, a well equipped kitchen/diner downstairs, living area in the middle and a mezzanine bedroom/ensuite accessed from a spiral staircase. There's everything you could need make your stay enjoyable, the only thing if I could pick fault and it's being really picky is the lack of a sofa, would have been lovely to curl up on a sofa in front of the log burner. (The logistics of getting a sofa into the property are not lost on me, would have been a nice to have that's all) The armchairs provided are really comfy though, just not much good for cuddling up with the other half.
