After losing his wife of 58 years I bought my father back to the Mendips, where he met my mother and to meet up with his fellow Cave rescuers. This beautiful Dairy, was a wonderful place to stay.It's only a two up two down, but feels quite spacious inside and was perfect for the two of us and a large dog.The fit and finish inside is high quality and has lovely homely feel to it, Cathy and Will were delightful hosts, and we're extremely helpful and kind.

Thank you Mark and Wendy for your kind review and I'll be sure to pass on your comments to the Westbury Inn as well. I'm so glad you had a good stay and hope the the electric fan kept you comfortable despite the heatwave. ( we're lucky the thick stone walls keep the heat out too!) Thank you for stripping the bed and leaving the cottage tidy.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dairy cottage. It had everything we needed (including frìendly hosts!), in a lovely village with a shop, pub and playground. Lots to do nearby and as we had (mostly) lovely weather we got to explore the area including the seaside.

Pretty little cottage

Lovely cottage and had all the essentials we needed. I would recommend this cottage - great location for us to explore Somerset. I made a silly mistake when I booked and forgot to include my son on the booking form but Cathy was very accommodating and understanding.

Thanks for the review Natalie. Really, no worries about your son being a surprise extra. It's so easy to miss a box to tick when booking a holiday. Luckily the bed was made up anyway and Im sorry I didn't give you an extra towel straight away! It was a pleasure hosting you all and I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Lovely week in a gorgeous part of the country.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well presented and had everything you would need. Cathy and Will were very friendly. Weather wasnt really on our side but we did manage to explore the immediate area and followed some gorgeous public footpaths in between visiting the nearby hotspots. All in all, a nice little break!

Lovely cottage in a stunning location.

What a lovely cottage this is. It has everything you could want for a perfect stay. Fully equipped kitchen and I mean fully equipped - loads of pots, pans and utensils. We cooked every day. Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The welcome tray was a lovely touch too. Local goodies and teas, coffee etc. much appreciated. The owners are really friendly and helpful too. Thanks for a lovely stay.

A Haven of Peace and Calm

"The Dairy" is a little gem, hidden away in the depths of the Somerset countryside. Ideally located for visits to grand and imposing Wells Cathedral, or educational and exhausting Cheddar Gorge and caves or quirky and just 'out-and-out' weird Glastonbury. A little further afield is the East Somerset railway recalling the days when the Great Western line really was great and at the other extreme, the seaside at Weston-super-Mare. The village has a well-stocked shop, and the Westbury Inn provides an excellent welcome and great food. Would be happy to return any time.

Beautiful cottage

Cathy is a friendly host and she provides pretty much everything one can think of. The welcome basket was a lovely touch along with a welcome message on the blackboard. My son especially loved the popcorn and she even popped some milk in the fridge. The cottage is bijou with so many little touches that make it special. The bed is unbelievably comfortable in the main bedroom. The location is so quiet and at night one can see so many stars. The location is 10mins by car from Wells and Cheddar. Would definitely recommend The Dairy.
