Red Rose Cottage

Location is amazing, lovely spot and easy to get to.

Excellent location just up from the gorge attractions but far enough away not to be bothered by them. Great spot for walking the Mendips generally and the circular walk around both sides of the gorge is well recommended. The village also has both a Tesco Express and a good sized Sainsburys as well as a local bakery and butcher. There are also a number of restaurants and pubs though we only tried La Rocca Italian which was very good. Hosts were pleasant and also very approachable. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage, well equipped, everything you need. Super shower, was awesome! Would definitely recommend, excellent location.

Nothing.

Lovely cosy cottage, well appointed and the mattresses were SO comfy!!! We slept so well!

Square plates 🤣 sounds silly but trying to eat a pizza of off a square plate was stressful 🤣🤣

We had a great time at this lovely little cottage. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need. The fully functional wood burner with plenty of wood was really cosy as well.

There was a bit of mold behind the teddy bear in the bedroom and hand soap in the bathroom would have been nice.

The location was excellent to experience all that Cheddar Gorge has to offer, although up a fairly steep hill so if you’re not one for walking you would need a car, as we did!! There was a big open fireplace with logs aplenty left for your enjoyment. While the accommodation looks big from the outside, it’s not at all big on the inside but perfectly formed with some beautiful beams. The walk-in shower very powerful. The property also has everything you’ll need on your stay.

Although the beds were Emma mattresses we didn’t find them very comfortable - maybe we’re just spoiled by what we have at home as many guests have found the beds amazing! The big square dinner plates are difficult to arrange in the slimline dishwasher, which can only be used on 1 setting. As there were 3 of us staying in the property, only the double and 1 single bed were made up on arrival which was disappointing - sleeping arrangements shouldn’t be assumed, so I had to call and ask for the bedding! The toilet takes 12 minutes to fill up (yes, we timed it), so couldn’t be pulled at night when our son was in bed as the noise would have disrupted his sleep. There is a small window directly opposite the bathroom door that backs onto a workshop where workers can see directly into the bathroom / toilet - a small blind should be placed here that can be pulled for privacy! There is a 2 seater sofa and 1 armchair - as the property is for 4 people there should be at least 1 more armchair. I don’t know what we would have done if there was 4 of us. There was only 2 towels on arrival - I had to call for 1 extra bath towel, face and hand towels. The owners were very attentive to our needs, mind, so we have no complaints there!
