  : Proper home from home, lovely place! Clean, well appointed, everything you could need and more. This is the second time I've stayed and would stay again.
  : Seems like there's a firewall or some restriction on the Wifi, I couldn't send large files through my usual software... Had to drive to find a signal and hotspot it.

  : Great location and an ideal base for exploring Somerset.
  : The bedding unfortuantely had a number of stains and some black hairs. There was also significant dirt/dust/insects under the bed (which is a location the owner advises to place suitcases/baggage etc). We approached the owner to discuss this and initially were advised he would deal with the matter. However, what followed was very dissapointing. The owner sent me a message the cleaner had sent him from holiday to advise her relative had cleaned the property and that there were no obvious issues, although she did say the sheets were cleaned but do have stains. Following this the owner requested pictures, which I did send. This back and forth was taking place on a Saturday evening after a 5 hour drive. The owners reply was that he couldn't really make out any issues from the pics I sent (the pics were downsized due to being sent via a messaging app) and that there was "a bit of dust" for which his cleaner has apologised. So, an obvious reluctance to address the issue, and clearly as guests, we were made to feel as though we were being unreasonable and difficult for wanting clean bedding and not wanting to sleep 1 or 2 feet above a thick mass of dust that has been left for quite some time (see pic). I myself hoovered the thick dust. A day later no clean sheets had arrived, and so I contacted the owner again. The clean bedding was brought to the property on the Monday, so 2 nights after we had arrived. I have never stayed at a property previously and felt the need to raise any issues. My experience of making a simple and polite request to this owner was clearly an issue for the owner, one example being one message they sent using capital letters stating the sheets ARE clean. Unfortunately neither the cleaner who's message he sent me, nor the owner had actually seen the sheets when they were fitted, and to acknowledge there maybe stains but ignore the fact this could be problematic for guests was quite staggering.

  : Boo Cottage was a lovely place to stay. It was very clean and perfect for a week away. The kitchen was very well stocked so we were able to do lots of cooking at the home. The key was very easy to locate and collect using a key safe box.
  : Upon arrival the property was very cold and did not seem to warm up. The boiler had been set to a low temperature which meant the heating was not kicking in, it took us a few hours and a few phone calls before we were able to enjoy the cottage. The fire place would be nice to use if it was supplied with some newspaper to get a fire started.

  : The house was very cosy and comfortable, easy to settle into and in a friendly village. The bed was comfortable and the heating was great. I would happily come back in better weather so that I could enjoy the small outside space too!
  : There was washing from the previous stay drying in the living room and kitchen when I arrived. The info book/folder could be updated- bins days were wrong and it seems quite a lot (places to visit/ eat and drink) has changed since it was put together. TV didn't really work. None of this would stop me recommending it as a place to stay though.

  : The peace and quiet of the location. Everywhere was clean and we had everythig we needed.
  : Maybe a little more comfy sofa, bit small but we managed ok.
