Host & Stay - Laylands Yard

Comfortable, Clean, well equipped and good location

Nothing, however a handrail on the steps from the drive would be useful for elderly visitors

Location was great

It would have been nice if the bathrooms had shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately the dvd didnt work

Not applicable, we bought our own

The location, and being able to park at the property

The property, being on the edge of town, is nice and peaceful. The bedrooms were all of a good size and downstairs the kitchen was adequate with a lot of storage. Only a small refrigerator but there is a larger one in the outbuilding. The dishwasher was very small but plenty of tablets were provided so we could do two washes daily. The lounge is spacious, we did find that the dining room out in the extension was a bit of a squeeze for six of us. The garden was a pleasant area to sit in with various areas to enjoy. The decor of the house was tasteful, with plenty of interesting pictures on the walls.

On arrival we found that the light fitting had been removed in the upstairs bathroom, rendering it unusable in the evening. This was rectified the next day however. The TV we found rather difficult to use, and the DVD player didn't work at all. No hand towels were provided, and the windows did seem a little tired. The shower in the upstairs bathroom made a squealing noise when on lower settings.

The property is in a great location, only a 5 min walk into Wells. It has views across to the sea, and is very peaceful. Parking for 2 cars and a lovely rear garden. The property is a good size and was great for the 5 of us. The 2 twin rooms are quite small with no hanging space but there is plenty in the main room.

The property could do with some updating, feels a little tired. The fridge sounded like it was trying to take off, it was also missing its door shelf, not really a problem as there is a fridge freezer in the outside utility room. The downstairs shower room was useful but did smell a little. We had no light in the upstairs bathroom, so had to use a torch at night. This was reported to Alan on arrival but he said he couldn’t get the bulb easily for it, so this want sorted during our stay.

Great location

Very dated , really needs a refurb , beds need new mattress, and lots of stuff needs replacing and redecorated. We had a great time , but it’s very basic accommodation , that needs some TLC .

Great location 5mins to high street, cottage well equipped in kitchen ,very clean ,and beds comfortable too , we all had a great time for a family get together, and was there for Christmas tide ,which was a bonus, ,will be recommending to my friends oh and great views over the marshes , highly recommended
