Beautiful quiet cottage

The cottage looks very nice from outside, and inside doesn’t disappoint either. It has a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, good WiFi coverage, TV and HiFi, so it was easy to settle in quickly. Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy, and Tina made us feel welcome. We found it ideal as a base to explore and go birdwatching on the Somerset-levels. For rainy days we were able to get in some retail therapy at the outlets in Shepton Mallet and Street. On our last day we visited the Bishops Palace and gardens in nearby Wells, and would like to go back to them in spring.

Charming Cottage

Had a really enjoyable stay in Damson cottage which was very comfortable and well equiped. Location was very good not being far from Burnham on Sea, Wells and other local attractions. Our host Tina was very welcoming and greeted us on our arrival showing us around the cottage and very knowledgeable as to places to visit and eating out. Would thoroughly recommend staying here and would certainly return again in the future.

A very positive experience from the initial booking to the actual holiday.

Great base

We received a warm welcome from Tina on arrival. The cottage comprises of a kitchen/ lounge with one bedroom and a bathroom. It was clean and well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped and includes a dishwasher and washing machine. The cottage is a great base to explore the local area. We stayed for 4 nights and visited nearby Wells a few times. It’s a great place for shopping and eating out as well as visiting the historic cathedral and Bishops Palace. It’s also close to Glastonbury and Bath which were also well worth a visit. I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely cottage in a relaxing area

Tina was welcoming and friendly on arrival explaining the local area which was very helpful. The cottage had a lovely home from home touch in a quiet relaxing area. We enjoyed a country walk in the surrounding area and the cottage was close to Wells which is a recommended place to visit. After a busy day exploring, it was great to come back to the cottage and have a wonderful nights sleep in a very comfortable bed.

Time away

Enjoyed a peaceful weekend of riding the empty lanes and visiting architectural gems. The cottage was ideally situated for the Somerset Levels and visiting Wells. Good base for the two of us with a well equipped kitchen. A sofa to curl up on after a long bike ride would have been nice but all in all a lovely place to stay

Ideal location for Somerset weekend

The cottage is very small but well presented. Perfect for a weekend in Somerset, lots to see nearby: Wells, Glastonbury, and the beautiful and unusual landscape of the Somerset levels (great for bird watching at nearby nature reserve).

Charming cottage in the heart of Somerset.

Lovely English cottage, great ambiance and a really good hostess.

Hi Tina, We really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage. We saw a lot of south west England. Thanks for al the tips and our lovely small talks. Your cottage has a fine ambiance and I love the english interior. And it is a good base to explore lots of areas and tourist attractions such like, Lands End, the Cotswold, Stone Henge, South Wales, Bath and Wells. By the way, thanks for the lovely plates.

Picture Perfect Country Cottage

We had a very relaxing week at this well equipped property. Tina and Gary were friendly and welcoming. The cottage is furnished to a high standard with the addition of an attractive patio area at the front with colourful flowers. We had a good meal at The Pheasant Inn ( just down the road) and there are numerous places to eat in Wells.Trips to the Bishops Palace in Wells and Tyntesfield were highlights and we would recommend this cottage to any couple looking for a relaxing break.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Edgecombe

Tina and Gary live in a 450 year old farm house that we have extensively restored and refurbished over the past 18 years. Damson Cottage is one of our outbuildings that we converted into a luxury holiday home. We moved to Somerset with our young family in 1985 and absolutely love the area, Our boys have long flown the nest but we have no intention of leaving Ford Farm or Somerset.

Why they chose this property

We love Wells because of the fantastic facilities in the area. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with both Bath and Bristol within easy reach. The historic city of Wells boasts a great range of bars and restaurants as well as many places of interest. There really is something for everyone here. The area is easily accessible via the M4/M5 and the A303 and Bristol airport is only 20 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

The property is a tastefully converted stone barn situated in a lovely part of the world with all the mod cons that you would expect. If you are looking to ‘get away from it all’ and unwind in a really relaxing cosy environment then Damson Cottage is the place for you.
