Lovely place clean and cosy .. Owner very accommodating and Skyes cottages . Thank you

Mr Robinson, September 2020

This was a spotlessly clean, well equipped modern house in a perfect location for walking, sightseeing and birdwatching in the area.. It is situated on a quiet road. Unfortunately the day we arrived, new neighbours moved in and immediately started a major makeover of their new house. The drilling and hammering ran from 09.00 a.m. to approximately 7.00 p.m. each day but I guess they will have finished by now and peace and tranquility will have returned! As we were out most of the day and the noise stopped at night, it did not really spoil the holiday. The sun shone all week!

Mr Tate, September 2020

The property is in an excellent position for touring the area as it is in a quiet estate just off the A39 but in easy walking distance of central Wells.. Plenty of supermarkets to choose from too. Very comfortable but it might feel a little small if there were 4 people staying.

Good contact from the host.. Ideal for walking into Wells and seeing surrounding area. Only thing that I would recommend is an update of pillows. Amazing range of equipment for self catering everything needed for a holiday quick cook. Nice to have cleaning equipment like dish soap as makes you confident last Tennant will have washed up properly.

The cottage is compact, ideal for two to four people though.. It is well equipped and well situated on a quiet estate, a level walk into the centre of Wells. It has the bonus of a designated parking space to the rear. The house had been cleaned well but there was some old staining on the setee and an armchair. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable with plenty of storage but the pillows were lumpy and past their best and there was only one on each of the single beds. The small negatives did not spoil our stay and we would recommend The Saplings to friends and anyone looking for a cosy place to stay while visiting delightful Wells.

Saplings is a cosy, well equipped modern terraced house in a quiet, attractive estate just 10 to 15 minutes walk from shops and restaurants in Wells.. A great base for exploring the wider area.

The general set up of the cottage, it's cleanliness, fittings and everything we needed to enjoy our stay..

Mr Slack, September 2019

August 2019

Great location.. .. as we were able to walk into the city centre, local supermarkets (Lidl, Waitrose) etc. Nice to have kitchen bits & bobs... tea, coffee, sugar, condiments; and the house was cosy. Shame the property doesn’t have a dishwasher (would have been better than having the washer/dryer) Overall we enjoyed our stay & would go back again.

The cottage was my home for two weeks.. There was everything I needed. Something important to me is that It was very clean. I liked very much the folder of information. That it is a very private little place was a comfort. I would recommend this cottage to anyone, especially those from overseas because of the fact that including all of the above, it is safe place to stay.

We had a lovely stay in Saplings.. Very clean, comfortable, warm and cosy. Ideal position for exploring Wells on foot and beautiful countryside by car. We would be happy to stay here again next time we are in this area.

Great location safe clean and comfortable would happily use again

Miss Hassall

A lovely 2 bedroomed cottage only 10 min walk from Town Centre.. A light, airy and pleasantly decorated property with off road parking. Kitchen is small and compact but with everything needed including washing machine (which we didn’t use) and full length fridge freezer. Off street private parking space at rear accessed via back gate. Good location for exploring the area including Glastonbury, Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge.

Mrs Avery

This was.a lovely quiet and comfortable cottage.. Very comfy beds,good quality bedding and furnishings. Very clean. The small courtyard garden was pretty and lovely for breakfast or an evening drink, We enjoyed our time there and it is close to many interesting places.

The property is very small so was a bit crowded with 4 adults.. The parking for two cars was a nightmare, we accidentally parked in someone else's space and got blocked in, as we were told we couldn't park in front of the property even though plenty did. The down stairs toilet needs a toilet brush and the vacuum was next to useless. We found personal hairs on the beds and floors in one room, there was hair in the bath plug hole and some of the plates in the cupboard were dirty. The house was nice but the walls were very thin, so you could hear everything when people used the toilet and next door running up and down the stairs at 2am and the boiler coming into life at 5ish every morning. The location as okay, I am disabled (use a stick) and just about managed it but any body else with more severe mobility needs would find it impossible.

Mrs Draycott

We got a little confused as to where you could park, the brochure said one allocated space and Kirbside parking.. However Crest who are building homes said don't park on the road outside the house and they had employed somebody to monitor this. It was awkward when we had visitors, we parked on the road in the end. That was the only downside to a really lovely holiday.
