Lamora Cheddar, Somerset

Fantastic bungalow, very clean and owners make you feel very welcome and they leave you a few essentials.. It is in a very quiet area so nice and peaceful.

The Bungalow is very comfy and accessible.. There was a lovely welcome pack with all your basics and as I had purchased this holiday for my Husbands 65th Birthday Caroline the owner had left some chocolates for him and the home made cheese scones were lovely. The location is perfect for the Cheddar Gauge and you can walk through the shops and cafes on route to the gauge, if you come to the end of the cul-de-sac and turn right the little village of cheddar is only a 5 minute walk and has a Tesco Express and small Sainsburys should you need basics late in the day. The property is very clean and grab rails in the most needed places. The furnishings are dated but very serviceable and the kitchen is fully equipped if you like cooking although there are plenty of places in walking distance to eat in or take away. The bed is comfy and there is plenty of storage in both bedrooms. The Garden has had new fencing since the photo's on here and is now very safe for any dogs and they get a bowl of biscuits and treats and have spare bowls, a toy and lots of covers for the furniture so you do not have any worry about your dogs being inside or outside of the property. The neighbours were lovely and very informative. We had a great stay and would go back and stay at Lomora again.

Me and my parents are currently waiting for a new property to be built as we have moved out of Wales so we needed a place to stay with our pet cat. It’s quite hard to find somewhere that accepts pets. My parents booked this place as it was the only one in our price range that accepted a cat and had availability. I arrived first and the owner was very kind with leaving cat treats and various essentials eg milk and butter. However once I had walked around I noticed mould in the fridge, the washing machine filled with water and rusted, the shower cubicle was filthy and cracks down the walls and wet stains on the bathroom walls, while unpacking I also noticed somebody’s dirty socks in the drawer which I binned straight away. Once all unpacked we just tried to get on for the next month until we went to our next holiday let (which is much better for an even cheaper price!). However the oven broke after two weeks and was not repaired for a week so we could only use the gas hob and microwave. Also the whole cottage was cut off power and we didn’t know where the fuse box was so had to wait til the morning til the owner could fix the issue. Due to having a black cat we needed to hoover regularly and the hoover in the cottage barely did anything so we used our dyson and it was emptied when we started and we only did a very brief hoover in the living room and corridor and the hoover was 3/4 full from the carpets after a 5 minute hoover!! The conservatory doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned in about 2 years because there’s cobwebs everywhere and spiders in the corner. The sofas don’t have the best support and the single beds need a better mattress. I’m not usually a negative reviewer so I will add some positives: the wifi was brilliant and very easy to connect to, theres a lush pub in walking distance called the riverside (honestly try the food it’s great), the TVs in all rooms were a great touch and parking is good but I would say only 1 car could park here as we had two and the two neighbouring bungalows struggled getting past and we had a ka and a Mondeo. Overall I would say this needs to be taken off the market and refurbished to match the price that’s being charged, there are much better and cleaner places around cheddar and in Somerset.

The "home from home" aspect and the location, plus dog friendliness and parking

Very cosy cottage beautiful area, not too far for beaches at Brean & Burnham on Sea.. Very good takeaways in Cheddar, Tuckers for fish & chips, riverside Chinese & the kebab shop. Pleasant little village great butcher/ deli, small but adequate Tesco.

Lamora is clean, warm & comfortable.. It is very close to all amenities including Cheddar Gorge itself. Hosts provide an excellent welcome pack, are friendly & available if needed. Lots of useful information provided. Thoroughly recommend.

A nice quiet cul-de-sac.. Very clean and comfortable and we loved the welcome package. Will definitely go back.

Lovely bungalow with a lovely garden area much bigger than expected.. Very well equipped and in an ideal situation in Cheddar as close to all amenities. The welcome pack from the owner was a very nice gesture and even included treats for our dog. Would definately recommend.

Bungalow was in a perfect location but the furniture needs to be updated.. There was no support on either of the settees and the double bed needs a new mattress. There are grab handles around the property which are handy for anyone who struggles with their stability, these are very handy. The owner did leave various basics in the property which was very kind.

A lovely placeto stay.. We all loved it here . Even Bella our dog was sad to leave And Caroline..your scones were lovely!

The cottage was well situated in Cheddar.. The area at the back of the cottage was a sun trap with a beautiful hidden garden Will return

We had a really good time and thought the cottage delivered everything we had hoped for and more from the garden which was fully dog proof.. Really couldn't fault anything and had good correspondence with the owner who was very ready to help if we needed it. The location was excellent so I would readily recommend the cottage to others.

Chose this property to rent based on it being dog friendly and didn't realise just how well located it was right in the heart of Cheddar. Everything was an easy walk. The host made sure the fridge had milk and butter and even a little birthday cake as one of our party had a birthday. The house is spacious and light. Beds very comfortable and lovely linen. Honestly can't recommend this property enough.

Really great communication from owner and very they kindly popped milk, butter and cheese in the fridge as a surprise.. Lamora is perfectly situated for Cheddar Gorge, you can leave you car at the house and walk to everything.Beds were very comfy and lovely linen. Overall a super place to stay.

It's a lovely little bungalow, very well appointed.. The garden is perfect for dogs, even escape-artists like mine, with a high dog-proof fence. The owner, Caroline, was extremely kind, leaving cheese, eggs, butter and scones for me, plus wine and a birthday cake. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac and within an easy walk to the Gorge, shops, restaurants and pubs. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, but you could have a great time without ever leaving Cheddar. I've been ill, so the accessibility features, such as grab rails, were very welcome. At no point did I feel nervous about being there alone. Add Wifi, televisions in every room, efficient heating and an extremely well-equipped kitchen and you have the perfect holiday cottage. Many thanks, and I hope to visit again.

We had a lovely time at Lamora.. Caroline is a friendly and welcoming host. The cottage was a home from Home. We would recommend it to anyone who wants a central point to visit the surrounding areas. Many thanks for a lovely few days.

We booked this quite late for a family Christmas and needed somewhere dog-friendly.. It was a very practical place for our needs with plenty of space in the kitchen for the dog crate as well as a conservatory. The cottage was very comfy and in good condition throughout and careful thought had gone into preparing it for us for Christmas. There was a Christmas tree, a Christmas stocking and toy for the dog, as well as home made scones, chutney, free range eggs, butter and Christmas cake on our arrival. The kitchen was well equipped and even had brand new roasting trays for the Christmas turkey. Brilliant.

We arrived at Lamora quite late in the evening to a warm and welcoming cottage.. There was a declicious treat to welcome us, of homemade cheese scones with cheese and chutney, tea, and coffee so we could relax immediately, even fresh flowers throughout. Our host Caroline met us and made us feel very welcome and at home. She was very approachable and friendly, had left a comprehensive information pack in the cottage, was knowledgable about the area and responded immediately to our questions. The cottage is very conveniently located in the village up a cul-de-sac - a few minutes easy walk to Cheddar Gorge, a pub and shops, and very quiet. Beautiful views, great walks, lots of activities and things to do and see at the Gorge. Good location for seeing Somerset too. The fully enclosed garden meant that our dog could stay outside safely - Caroline also left welcome dog treats and poo bags! The cottage itself was comfortably furnished, with ample seating and storage throughout. It was clean and recently decorated. We slept well under cosy duvets, plenty of towels were provided as well as a comprehensively equipped kitchen. It felt spacious and bright, and for rainy days a selection of books, DVD’s and board games are available to enjoy. Wifi was easy to connect to and worked well. Because of the beautiful part of the country and the kind and generous welcome of our hosts, we would definitely stay there again
