Guests say
The Coach House in Somerset receives positive feedback for its tranquil location, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the beautiful countryside, friendly owners, and the property's suitability for both couples and families. Some minor maintenance issues and a small garden are noted, but overall, guests enjoy their stays and often express a desire to return.
Most guests find The Coach House clean and welcoming, with only a few isolated incidents of cleanliness concerns. These appear to be exceptions rather than the rule, as the majority of reviews do not raise cleanliness as an issue.
The property's location is highly praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions and amenities. The rural setting and availability of nearby walks contribute to the high score, although some guests find it slightly isolated.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with spacious bedrooms and cosy living spaces. However, some guests mention that the seating is not sufficient for the maximum number of guests and that some of the furniture could be updated for enhanced comfort.
The Coach House is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the kitchen upgrades and secure garden. However, there are comments about minor maintenance issues such as heating problems and a need for more shower facilities, which slightly lower the score.
While guests mention a lovely cake on arrival and a book of dog walks, there are not enough references to consistent thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, when they occur, are appreciated but not guaranteed.
About this property
This three bed period barn conversion is located in the village of Evercreech near to the town of Wells, a wing of the owner's home in rural Somerset, a beautiful place to commence your holiday. Suited for the family with its collection of bedroom styles, The Coach House invites you inside to an open-plan living area, benefitting from the warmth of a woodburning stove for those cooler nights, and French doors that open out to the patio area, perfect for a summer's afternoon. Whether you are settling down on the comfy mismatched sofas, or gathering together at the dining table, you will feel right at home. The kitchen continues the modern overtone, including a range of appliances including a washer dryer and a large fridge freezer. Two bedrooms lie on the ground floor, including a wonderful king-size and twin room, with a further super king-size bedroom located upstairs. Views over the countryside and a feature window truly welcome the outside in. Should you be bringing along a little one, you will be pleased to discover a travel cot, highchair, and baby bath. Lastly, one bathroom on each level, so every guest can get ready comfortably in the morning and evening. The City of Wells with its famous cathedral and twice-weekly market is only 8 miles away; Bruton and the renowned Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery and restaurant 6 miles away, and Longleat safari park a 25 minute drive. The Coach House offers the perfect comfortable base for a cultural sightseeing holiday. With something to interest every member of the family, other local attractions include Glastonbury Tor and Abbey, the Clarks Shopping village, the Fleet Air Arm museum, Cheddar Gorge and caves and Wookey Hole, all within a 30 minute drive. Cider and cheese making remains a key industry. In Shepton Mallet, 3 miles away, you will find two large supermarkets for everyday necessities as well as several antique shops to browse. At Clarks Village in Street, only 10 miles away and on the site of the old Clarks shoe factory, you will find over 90 high street and designer retailers plus numerous cafes and restaurants.
Only 18 miles south of Bristol, this cottage is a home-away-from-home in a magnificent part of Somerset.
Wells, England’s smallest city, is named after the springs which still bubble up today in the grounds of its splendid Bishop's Palace with its famous moat. Adjacent is the beautiful 12th century cathedral situated within a most attractive cathedral close and green. Nearby, Vicars Close is home to the oldest complete medieval street in Europe, and the quaint market square offers an array of interesting shops, boutiques and restaurants, and a colourful twice-weekly market.

Simon
The two double rooms are lovely and the living-dining room cosy and light, with doors onto a very nice outdoor seating area that has walls on two sides, the surrounding gardens on the other two and views across the countryside with the Somerset levels in the distance. And it is SO peaceful. The addition of a shower in the upstairs bathroom would make it near perfect. As well as being a relaxing base, itâs very well placed for visiting Wells, Glastonbury, Cheddar and a host of other places. Thank you Laura and Guy for a lovely stay that we really enjoyed.

Limited space in the house but you donât feel cramped - furnishings I.e. sofa and chairs pretty basic and not at all comfortable.Also with dogs, we had two, a larger area of garden would be very beneficial as trying to exercise dogs in that small fenced off area is not adequate. Lanes around a death trap to walk along. Otherwise, I would book the property again and we definitely enjoyed our stay - Guy and Laura v. hospitable and very abliging.
