Guests say
Primrose Cottage offers a peaceful and picturesque setting with free-roaming alpacas adding to its charm. Guests appreciate the quiet location, rustic experience, and the property's proximity to attractions like Bath and Cheddar. Reliable WiFi and a well-equipped kitchen are noted, alongside a warm welcome from the host.
The cottage is generally described as clean and comfortable. One mention of dirty dishes and a stained toilet suggests minor issues, but overall, guests seem satisfied with the cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside, and proximity to local attractions. It is considered an ideal base for exploring nearby towns and enjoying the rural setting.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the property is described as cosy and the bedding quality is good, there are complaints about uncomfortable mattresses and backache, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities are well-received in terms of kitchen equipment and WiFi. However, issues with water supply, temperamental showers, and minor maintenance problems like broken lights and toilet flush affect the score.
While guests mention a warm welcome and responsive host, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

The barn has an open plan feel with exposed beams, a chic wall mounted gas fire, and full glass doors that all open onto a small decked garden - perfect for summer BBQs or socialising after a busy day exploring the surrounding Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, one of these being en suite, and there is plenty of room outside as the barn is set on a small private estate, with the additional attraction of some very nosey alpacas.

Primrose is part of a recently renovated farm complex and can be booked with Marigold (ref M555019) for larger family gatherings. Primrose is approached via a secluded and stunning tree-lined private drive. Although the barn is tucked away in the beautiful and relaxing Somerset countryside, it is in fact, only two miles from the historic market town of Shepton Mallet, five miles from the beautiful medieval city of Wells and within ten minutes drive to Bath park and ride service. In addition, it is close to the Royal Bath and West Showground and is also conveniently located for the world-famous Glastonbury music festival. This really is a perfect location to visit everything that is on offer in the great area of the south west of England.

Our second visit to these lovely cottages. Easy to get to Wells, Glastonbury, Cheddar and lots of good places.The situation is lovely - in the countryside surrounded by fields and the lovely alpacas.Primrose was warm and comfortable and very well equipped.The mattress in the double bedroom was a bit uncomfortable and there were a few cleaning issues - for example the toilet in the main bathroom is badly stained.Overall we had a lovely time and we would be happy to return

Lovely cottage in very good quiet location and convenient to many places of interest. Equipment issue is down to lack of slip mats in showers which resulted in two members of party falling over leaving one badly bruised. Easily resolved by owners and recommend they do so as soon as possible.

Sitting at the end of a long road you get piece and quiet. The cottage has just about everything you need for a week.A nice garden space in a sunny location. Plenty if parking.Alpaca sitting on the grass greet you outside the door and give you such a look when you disturb them sitting on the track.The downside the single beds need be fixed bit loose, all three mattresses gave us backache they need upgrading. The water at the taps has habit of spitting making the hot taps a bit dangerous you have to avoid hot water hitting you.Showers because of the temperamental water are tricky. Fix these problems and you have a comfortable cottage for your holiday.
