Cosy and well furbished cottage in a beautiful location

Cottage is cosy and has everything you need, thought has gone in to making sure you are comfortable in your stay. The owners have even taken the time to provide recommendations for what to do and where to eat which is very helpful. The location is perfect, quiet and peaceful but not too far from the nearest towns. Rob and Naomi were very welcoming and we would definitely love to visit again

Cosy cottage in great location

Great one bedroom cottage that felt very spacious because of high ceilings downstairs in the open plan kitchen/living room. It had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts Ben and Naomi very helpful. Great location for exploring Somerset (Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Cheddar Gorge, Wookie Hole all within 30 minute drive or so).

Excellent location in Central Somerset - a great base for the daily excursions we made. Cottage was very comfortable, with all amenities that one would need. We very much enjoyed our stay - peaceful and quiet. Just a couple of minor points: (1) the plug in the bathroom sink needs some lubrication - sticks; (2) I wonder if the post on the stairs that juts down into the kitchen area could be highlighted in some way. My wife bent down to place something in the rubbish bin and hit her forehead.

Excellent Self-Contained Cottage

The cottage had everything that we needed. The kitchen, dining and lounge areas were comfortable and well equipment, so we could cook full dinners and relax watching the TV plus DVDs and Netflix in the evenings.The bedroom is a good size with a comfortable bed with a nice ensuite shower/toilet room. The check-in process was simple with the parking directly behind the cottage, so it was easy to bring bags into the cottage. The host came to check if everything was ok or if we had any questions a couple of hours after we arrived. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing short break.

Peaceful and quaint getaway

The Evergreen Cottage was the perfect place to stay in the Somerset area. The hosts are lovely and the property is picture perfect and has everything you need for your stay. If you are looking for a country escape this is the place. One can hear the roosters crow in the mornings and the cows mooing at night. Would definitely visit again.

Very nice cottage in excellent location

Found this very nice cosy cottage on VRBO which was very reasonably priced. From the pictures it looked very nice. In person this cottage is excellent. Everything that I required for my stay was available. The log burner is my favourite and I used for a couple of nights. The location was close to all the places I wanted to go to and is just off the main road towards Shelton Mallet, so was excellent. The owner came to say hello and welcome me. All in all I really enjoyed my short relaxing break. I hope to be able to return in the future if my travels being me back to this part of Somerset and I recommend any single traveller or couple to stay here.

Good base for exploring somerset

The cottage is ideally placed for visiting other areas such as Frome, Wells, Mells and Glasto. We chose it as visiting friends in batcombe. It is located on a quiet lane, all amenities and comfortable with parking adjacent Would recommend as a base. Plenty of good gastro pubs in the area if you don't want to cook but well equipped kitchen if you do.

I would just add that if anyone considering this cottage is concerned about traffic or noise from the show ground it is not an issue. I was expecting to be "entertained" by Slade performing there on Saturday evening and heard nothing.

Cosy, comfortable home from home.

We spent a week at Evergreen Cottage, August 2021. The property is spacious, very well designed, with high ceilings and tasteful, modern, high quality decor. We immediately felt at home. Rob popped in to say hi and make sure we had all we needed (we did!). Kitchen well equipped, chairs and bed really comfortable and the bathroom smelled really nice! Everything was clean and well set out. The area is very pretty and the cottage a good place to explore from. Wells, Castle Cary, the Natterjack pub and Weston Farm cheese shop were highlights. We didn't need the log burner, but that looked great for cosy winter breaks. We sat out one evening, out the front on deck chairs we'd brought, but really we were out and about and didn't need a garden. We'd brought electric toothbrushes, you will need a plug adapter if you do the same. Internet connection is sporadic. We loved the sound of the little stream opposite and the sheep baaing. The lane is very quiet, the peace of the countryside very welcome. We had a lovely week, even though the weather was variable. In terms of Covid, we felt safe and could almost say back to normal. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. Ruth and Mike.

Wonderful restful stay

Modern well appointed property with everything needed for our stay. Property just lacks use of a garden but, since it’s in such a quiet lane, we sat out front with a glass wine having taken some deck chairs with us. We also planned to be out and about most days so didn’t feel this was an issue. Bed was lovely and comfortable and we had no issues during our stay. Some nice pubs in surrounding villages too....

Beautiful surroundings and cozy cottage

Rob and Naomi made things really easy - from finding the house to getting in and settled. Even with covid complications. Cozy and clean cottage in a lovely neighborhood. Especially if you like cows! Surrounded by farm land within an easy distance of many many great tourist attractions such as Stonehenge, Jurassic coast and a fascinating jail in Shepton Mallet. Would definitely stay here again. We went for 2 weeks and I was concerned about getting clothes cleaned. Even though there no washing machine at the house, the laundrymatte in Shepton Mallet was very easy to find and run by a lovely gentleman. Simple! Thank you Rob and Naomi!
