Guests say

Crooks Cottage in Somerset is highly praised for its peaceful location, comfort, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including welcome packs and dog treats. The property is ideal for long walks, with many mentioning the convenience of local attractions and the cosiness provided by the woodburner. While one review noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overwhelming majority had a delightful stay, often highlighting the host's hospitality.

The majority of guests reported that Crooks Cottage was spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, one review mentioned issues with cleanliness, including dirty crockery and a stale smell from towels, which slightly impacts the overall high score.

The location of Crooks Cottage is frequently commended for its beauty and tranquillity, with easy access to walks and local attractions. The proximity to the Mendips and various pubs, as well as the peaceful countryside setting, are particularly appreciated by guests.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the well-designed space and cosy atmosphere, especially with the woodburner. A few guests mentioned a small sofa and streaming issues due to broadband quality, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.

The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with special mentions of the welcome pack and dog-friendly amenities. Some guests noted the absence of certain items like a cafetiere and expressed a desire for better broadband, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

The host's thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome treats for both guests and dogs, though it's worth noting that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed. The attention to detail and additional amenities for comfort and convenience are well-received.

    The surrounding countryside is also beautiful for local walks and the location is good for exploring many interesting places . We particularly liked Wells.

    There was no shortage of equipment and there was lots of information provided about local amenities and lovely walks around the area. The surrounding scenery was also a bonus and we are looking forward to our next stay
