Crooked Well

A lovely clean and well equipped cottage We have stayed there many times and always look forward to our next stay The cottage is located in a lovely village with plenty of parking and a well kept garden We highly recommend this cottage

One of the best equipped and most comfortable self catering cottages I've ever stayed in.

The welcome cake was a real treat! The location is perfect for exploring Wells, Bath, etc and the local cafe serves an enormous full breakfast.

Fantastic property near Bath.

The photos really undersell how lovely the cottage is. Everything was emaculate and very well equipped. Had everything we needed for our stay and more. Very quick to get to the Park and Ride for our day trips into Bath and some lovely walks about the village’s surrounding the fields.

the accommodation was clean and comfortable, thank you for the milk and cake on our arrival.

There could be a little bit more information about how to dispose of rubbish. Also this is the first time in all our years of renting cottages that the cleaning was still be done when we arrived. although our arrival time for entry was 3pm we didn't arrive until after 3.30. that was a little disappointing. We did enjoyed our stay and got to visit lots of places. Local pubs food was good .we had a relaxing holiday

Extremely well equipped cottage.

Spacious lounge. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. Pretty garden. Off road parking great. Manuals for all the appliances (handy if one is not familiar with e.g. oven symbols). Plenty of information on local area. Amenities in village: Co-op and Spar, pub (food served), fish and chip shop and cafe.

A delightful cottage ideally situated for access to Bath, Bristol and local National Trust properties Little touches of cake and milk on arrival much appreciated and nice to meet the owner, Anne.

Absolutely delightful cottage (and owner!

) in a quiet village location. Very efficient heating and hot water, along with every item of equipment you could possibly need - even a steamer! Well cared-for property, comfortable and homely. And in a great location for visiting Bath, Bristol and other attractions in Somerset. Great pub and shops within five minutes walk. So glad we found it!

The cottage was beautiful.

A real home from home. Everything we needed to have a great break. Great location not too far by car to the park and ride or the drive into Bath. The welcome with a homemade fruit cake and milk was very much appreciated Thank you we really enjoyed our stay

Excellent property and very well equipped

We had a lovely stay at Crooked Well.

It wasn’t so easy finding the property as the sat nav does not recognise the postcode but we asked a friendly local who gave us directions. After that we found that if you put in Homefield then village name into google maps you will find it. The property was well equipped and there was a lovely fruit cake, biscuits, milk, tea and coffee waiting for our arrival which was very much appreciated. The location is fab and the village was lovely and quiet with a pub, chip shop a Co-Op and Spar shop. My only grumbles about the property was that the pillows in the master bedroom were like rocks which gave me a bad neck. The Wi-Fi was a pain and kept dropping so would benefit from a booster in the property. The house hadn’t been dusted and the washing machine was dirty (the rubbers need cleaning). The last negative was that the owner/cleaner arrived at 9.30 on leaving day which was a little off putting when we are booked up until 10am. Having said all of this we would return to Crooked Well again.

A well maintained cottage perfectly located for days out.

Bath, Wells Cathedral, Bradford on Avon and Weston Super Mare are all within easy driving distance. The stairs would be a challenge for anyone with limited mobility. The pint of milk and beautiful home made fruit cake were a pleasant surprise on arrival.

Lovely well-equipped cottage with a nice garden.

Neighbourhood is quiet & friendly, good amenities within walking distance (we liked The Square café). A good base to explore between Bristol and Bath.

We absolutely loved this holiday, was just the perfect relaxing week in an excellent location and wonderful cottage.

Exactly what we needed after many hectic months of work.

A delightful cottage and garden with all mod cons.

A welcome awaited us with a delicious fruit cake and milk. We were very comfortable in every aspect. An informative welcome book provided particularly interesting information about the history and ownership of the cottage . An amazing amount of leisure activities from indoor to outdoor games equipment, books, CDs and interesting tourist information. Easy access to places of interest in beautiful countryside.

The cottage is ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area.

The village of Timsbury is a lovely place, with plenty going on at the local pub. The two convenience stores stock most things you'll need. The cottage is large, spacious and comfortable. You can tell it's been lived in as a home rather than kitted out for rental - it 'works' as in it is easy to prepare food in the kitchen, there's plenty of storage space, everything you need is there including cleaning equipment, garden furniture etc. The sofa's and beds are comfortable, there's both a washer and dryer and we loved the attached car parking. On arrival there was milk in the fridge, tea and coffee available and a lovely home made fruit cake - just what was needed after a long drive from the North East! It is one of the best holiday rentals we've had over the 15 years of holidays in the UK we've had, and would definitely look to book there again when we next go to the area.

An excellent holiday cottage, with spacious accommodation and in a very quiet position, with a very short walk to the shop and pub.

Timsbury is a lovely village, great for walkers and for trips to Bath, Wells, etc. The fish and chip shop is also highly recommended. We definitely intend to return.

This is by far the best cottage I have ever vacationed in.

It's equipped to a very high standard and is immaculate. It's in a fabulous village between Bath and Bristol and is ideal for sight seeing around the area. The owner Ann and her family were so obliging and kind. Long may this cottage be for rental We had a fantastic week.

A lovely cottage and so well equipped with everything we could need .

Beautifully clean and very comfortable and a lovely home made fruit cake awaiting us on our arrival. Very comfortable beds and lovely bedding . We have stayed three times and have booked a fourth stay . Timsbury is a lovely village with lots of very nice walks to local areas . I can thoroughly recommend this cottage .

The Crooked Well is one of the loveliest cottages we have stayed in.

Everything you could possibly want is there! We came to this part of the world for a cousin’s wedding with our son and daughter in law and were not disappointed with this lovely cottage, which was warm, clean, quiet and very comfortable. There was double parking ideal for two couples. The local Co-op was within easy walking distance (an essential for me as a non driver especially) and sold practically everything! The beautiful fruit cake and milk we found on arrival, was very much appreciated - thank you. We would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful cottage and would love to return.

Lovely cottage in convenient location close to Bath and Wells with the park and ride to Bath being very close and easy to use.

Very comfortable and clean cottage in great location for travelling to Bath, Wells and the Mendips.

Very handy for local shop and pub. Cottage has comprehensive equipment and the welcome homemade cake was much appreciated. Thoroughly recommended for holidays in this area.

Stayed at crooked well 14th - 21st March.

Cottage as listed very clean and well equipped. Local pub 2 mins walk and chip shop 2 mins walk. Lots of places to visit in the area. All in all a very nice week and the cottage did not disappoint.

This cottage provided an excellent base for our Christmas.

It was immaculate and had all that we needed, and more. I could have cooked Christmas dinner there if my son and family had not been doing so elsewhere! We were a party of 5 adults and found it both spacious and comfortable enough. The only ‘problem’ was that we could not enjoy all the facilities as we were with family in Frome most of the time! Thoroughly recommend it.

We had such a lovely stay in this delightful cottage, which is beautiful and well equipped.

It's surroundings and position within the village is really nice. It's in a beautiful area of Somerset and ideally situated to Bath and all the other attractions in the area. The host gave us a great welcome, and her fruit cake went down a treat. We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a taste of Somerset.

We have never been to a holiday cottage with so much provided, especially the fruit cake.

We really enjoyed it and the local amenities.

We had a great week in Crooked Well cottage.

It was very clean and had everything we could have needed for our stay, and more. You could tell it had been a much loved family home. The fruit cake was most welcome and delicious. Timsbury is a lovely village and well positioned for the many places of interest we visited, such as Bath, Bristol, Cheddar, Wells to name but a few. We also had a nice walk alongside the Chew Valley lake. The couple of meals we had in the Seven Stars pub which were very good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately we couldn’t sample the fish and chips from the chippy as it was closed for the week. All in all though a brilliant week in Crooked Well, helped by having sunshine every day.

Lovely clean house, can't fault it at all.

The owner is friendly and told us all about the cottage, and left us a delicious cake. The property is just a few minutes from the village pub and shops. Lots to do in the area.

Wir wurden von der Besitzerin sehr herzlich empfangen, bei dieser Gelegenheit hat sie uns ausführlich das Haus sowie die Umgebung erklärt.

Außerdem hat sie uns mit einem selbstgebackenem Kuchen empfangen! Das Haus ist modern eingerichtet, mit neuer Küche, vom Alter merkt man innen wenig. Die Kinder haben gerne im Garten gespielt. Bath ist nah, ebenso andere Ausflugsziele. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für die Umgebung.

We had a lovely week at Crooked Well.

It’s a beautiful little cottage. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need. We had lovely days out to Bath and Wells. Wookey hole caves was a particular highlight for the kids.

A gorgeous, comfortable and well equipped cottage, in a friendly village setting.

The owner is extremely welcoming, and has detailed the cottage history, and the history of Timsbury, which added a great deal to the enjoyment of our stay. Pretty garden, good food shops close by - and plenty of places to eat locally. We are going back!

Lovely well equipped property in a nice peaceful location.

Ideal for exploring the area.

Very nice cottage, lovely and comfortable and lots of room with everything you need.

Parking place for two cars was fine. Only problem from the outset was finding the cottage. You go up a winding road then come to what looks like a dead end, but then you turn sharp right onto what looks like a pathway. Bit tight but once you have done it a couple of times no probs. Lady owner was very nice and left a great fruit cake. Not her fault but roads around that part of the county are terrible. Had a great visit.

This is a great place to stay!

It's quiet, clean, and all round perfect for a family stay. We could not have had a nicer stay in the friendly village of Timsbury. The beds were very very comfortable along with a very ample bathrooom which has both a nice bath and shower. The kitchen is well provisioned and nice to cook a meal in. All utensils are there which really helps. A very spacious, comfortable lounge and a great garden....what more could we need? We will hope to stay again! Great value for money.

One of the best cottages we have stayed in and we have done a few.

The facilities were excellent and we had the good fortune to meet the owner and she was lovely . Great location for touring Somerset and surrounding district's.

The whole environment was very good.

The village/town environment was very friendly and generally it was nice to enjoy politeness and smiling faces. The local amenities were just to our liking and we made good use of them. Everything was in walking distance.

This is a charming and well appointed cottage and the owner is very pleasant and helpful.

If you are unsteady on your feet you may find the stairs a bit of an issue but I wouldn't want to exaggerate the problem. The immediate area around the cottage is quiet and in the village there is a very agreeable pub, a handy Coop and a lovely cafe on 'The Square' which does lunches of near gourmet quality at a reasonable price. Bath and Bristol attractions are nearby and Park and Ride systems for each are easily available in the car. Here you can enjoy the delights of both city and countryside. We did both and had a thoroughly relaxing week.

Excellent property in a great location

Very comfortable cottage, well maintained.

Crooked Well cottage is delightful, comfortable, clean and cosy.

It is situated within easy walking distance of the Timsbury village shops. The cottage is very well equipped . The owner has provided a wealth of helpful information as well as interesting family history concerning Crooked Well. High quality bedding and towels are provided as well as toiletries and kitchen cleaning products. Timsbury is within easy distance of Bath, Wells and the lovely Chew Magna Lake. The owner endeavoured to make our visit as welcoming as possible and even made us a delicious fruit cake. I highly recommend Crooked Well for a happy holiday.

we recently stayed for a couple of weeks as we was doing work in bristol but didnt want to stay in bristol so found this little gem , the cottage was great and the hosts were fantastic and the little touches with the milk and cake was very much appreciated , the pub just round the corner serves great food and beer .

would highly recommend crooked well to anyone and cant wait to revisit

Nice welcome with mince pies and milk for our first cups of tea!

Our host put up Christmas decorations which made it feel very festive for our Christmas week stay. The cottage has a very well equipped kitchen, which was a bonus for cooking our Christmas dinner. Although the cottage is situated in a new housing estate (which we were not expecting) it was a quiet location, within a short walk to a good pub, excellent fish and chip shop, and local supermarket.

First rate.

The owner could not have been more helpful as she went out of her way to answer our questions. Even left a fruit cake - now that was not expected

A home-from-home property with everything you need for an extended stay.

We were grateful for the warm welcome, cake and helpful literature supplied by the owner, including lots of ideas for places to visit. Timsbury offers many walks around the village and its interesting & picturesque surroundings and is perfectly located to explore North Somerset and the cities of Bath, Bristol & Wells.

A lovely old cottage with large gardens and good parking.

Minor maintenance issues which the owner is aware of and looking to correct. With 2ft thick walls and nothing being square we were nevertheless quite cosy and enjoyed our stay very much. Kitchen well equipped and the welcome tray with homemade cake a nice surprise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Crooked Well cottage (the picturesque Well is in the garden).

It's in the perfect spot to explore North Somerset and nearby counties. Beautiful Bath is easily reached from the park and ride relatively close by and there is much to see in Wells and Bristol - only a short drive away. The surrounding area of Timsbury also has some lovely walks. The cottage has all the facilities needed and is immaculately kept. It's cosy, comfortable and the homemade cake on arrival was delicious. Many thanks

We had a lovely stay here - great contact with the owner, a lovely cake to welcome us and a great location for getting to bath, longleat, wookey hole caves etc.

lovely village pub - stunning scenery and I would recommend this property to anyone including families - we had twin 7year olds and a 3 year old and they loved sharing a room and being in the big beds!

A lovely cottage we particularly liked the crockery which included cups and saucers and not just mugs both the lounge and the bedroom were large with a lovely big double bed, also as the weather was good we were able to sit out in the garden.

A lovely well equipped cottage in a quiet little corner of the village but a short walk from the shops.

. Lovely to have our own parking spot on the drive..as opposed to road parking. Settees comfy..lots of towels colour coded provided ..in fact the cottage has been very thoughtfully fitted out. Nice little garden & we loved the garden seats so Much we bought one once we returned home. Well placed for all towns of Bath, Bristol & Wells..a great holiday!

The cottage is in a fantastic location and is well equipped with everything you'd need.

We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Crooked Wells was amazing.

The cottage had everything you could need and more. Perfect base to visit places we had not been to before. The cake was delicious, and we somehow managed to make it last The week. Will have no hesitation recommending Crooked Wells to friends and family.

Great period property in a lively and welcoming village.

Well equipped for a family stay. It is close to the sites of Bath and Bristol making a great base to explore.

It was a lovely cottage - very comfortable and a real home from home.

We had a great stay and the cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the local area. It was brilliant to be able to walk to the local pub as well!

A superbly equiped, clean, comfortable cottage in a quiet location.

A welcome tray was greatfully received especially the delicious fruitcake. The brief visit from the owner, was lovely and gave us interesting background information about the cottage, the well and its history. It was nice to know the owners family were nearby, should we need them. The local fish and chip shop was superb, with the best cod and chips we've ever had! We had some good days out exploring Bath, Bristol, Wells and surrounding areas. Had the weather been better it would have been nice to make use of the garden of an evening. We thoroughly enjoyed the cosy comfort of the cottage and can happily recommend it to others.

We had a super time at the cottage and if we were visiting the area again would definitely come back.

It was so well appointed and clean, we loved it.

Lovely well equipped and clean property in a nice quiet location.

Could not fault it at all, highly recommended.

A lovely cottage, very comfortable with excellent supplies of all you need (such as washing up liquid, kitchen towel etc) including the very welcoming tea and cake!

Superb supply of books, no need to bring your own, dvds etc. The information provided was very good, especially interesting to read of the history of the cottage and the village. The garden is a suntrap, we even managed to sit out one day! Parking great. The location is convenient for Bath and surrounding towns and Timsbury has a lovely Coop with such friendly and helpful staff, just literally up a path and round the corner from Crooked Well. We can recommend the fish and chips, also very close and the pub. Our thanks to Mrs Mudge for her welcoming phone call about arriving early, it gave us an extra afternoon in Bath. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Lovely cottage in quiet location Handy for day visits to Bath,Bristol and Wells Living room was cosy and kitchen very good Bedrooms a good size with comfy beds We enjoyed our stay very much

Perfect home from home, warm and welcoming, the owner goes over the extra mile to make sure you feel at ease in her lovely property, the location is close enough to Bath to enjoy the city without the hustle and Timsbury caters for most emergencies, certainly one of the best stays we've had

Lovely warm and clean cottage; easy to find and plenty of space to park.

The village and its pub is very close by and there are surprisingly good food shopping facilities, so no need to drive and find a supermarket somewhere! I spend a lot of time checking places before deciding whether or not to book and Crooked Well met my demanding criteria.

Absolutely loved our stay.

The cottage was cosy and well equipped. Easy parking and walking distance to pub and convenient store. Great location for sightseeing in the area. Highly recommend this stay.

The house was very overlooked by other houses as it was in the middle of a modern housing estate, despite appearing old on the website.

To be fair it was very comfortable, in a great spot for touring and we had a great week, however, there were building works going on next door which meant that we were woken up by a cement mixer every day. It was reasonably priced and we had everything we needed, but it wasn't exactly what we expected when we booked it.

The cottage was the best equipped one we’ve had in the last few years.

It was warm and cosy and spotless. It’s in an ideal position for Bath & Wells as well as many other places of interest. Neighbours were helpful when I had questions about recycling. I would definitely visit again. The owner was welcoming and the tea & homemade cake thoughtful gesture.

Cosy house.

Excellently equipped kitchen. The homemade fruit cake was delicious plus the very comfortable bed and hot showers. Our favourite place to eat was the Old Station Inn at Hallatrow. Fabulous location for visiting Bath, Wells and Glastonbury.

Once again we had a wonderful stay at Crooked well

A lovely welcoming cottage with everything you could possibly want - plus more - nothing has been forgotten from cling film to screw drivers and we were welcomed with a delicious home made fruit cake.

The village is ideally placed for exploring the area and there are some lovely walks around Timsbury. I would highly recommend both the cottage and the area.

Comfortable living area but found beds very firm and unsuited to our tastes.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed.

We had a very comfortable working holiday in Crooked Well which is brilliantly located in a lovely village.

The hospitality was wonderful especially the delicious fruit cake. The garden is lovely to relax in and the village shop, pub and excellent fish and chips shop are all less than 5 minutes walk away.

The cottage was well located, homely, comfortable and extremely well equipped.

A very comfortable cottage in a good area for visiting Bath, Glastonbury and Wells.

There are excellent walks nearby too.

Can do no better than to echo comments of previous visitors as recorded in the visitor's book.

Cottage extremely comfortable and well set up including information about its history, local walks (much enjoyed) and places to visit etc. Would recommend without reservation.

A delightful ,well equiped cottage in a very peaceful location within easy reach of the lovely cities of Bath and Wells.

It had everything we needed and proved to be a very comfortable place to stay. Lovely gardens to relax in after busy sightseeing days. The village had a local pub and a couple of shops which were useful. Met the friendly owner who had left a wonderful cake and tea tray. Good local information left in folder and leaflets.

The house is fine, however.

.. We had to make some space in Cupboards for our food, we also moved some China cups out of reach of our children. When we left we received a message from the owner saying things were missing, we rang her straight up and explained they had been moved and are in a different cupboard, she had a very accusatory tone to my wife insinuating we had stolen the items. This upset my wife. A few days later we had a text saying the items had been found in another cupboard. A real shame to our stay - on this basis I cannot recommend the cottage - you may be accused of stealing cake tins. (My advice to the owner would be if such items are so close to your heart please replace things with items less valuable, and please accept that things may get moved, but insinuating theft is poor)

A most marvellous experience; the quintessential English cottage set in an equally quintessential English village.

Everything perfect and prepared with - obviously - loving care. To be highly recommended.

Our stay at crooked well could not have been better we met the owner and she was very pleasant the cottage had everything you could wish for even a lovely fruit cake I would recommend the cottage and like to thank Ann for telling us a little bit about the history of the cottage and area

Excellent property, met all our needs for the week.

Set in a quiet cul de sac with a lovely garden and it's own parking space. We'll equipped kitchen. Would definitely book again if visiting the area.

Very well equipped cottage.

Warm and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and obliging. Tea and cake on arrival was really appreciated and welcoming.

Very well equipped comfortable property with flexible sleeping facilities and some very welcoming touches by the host.

Really well located for easy access to two of our favourite cities, Bath and Wells.

The cottage was like a home from home, would definitely stay there again

A lovely cottage.

The little details of care provided by the owner made it even more special.

Everything you could want is supplied at the cottage.

Very friendly owner. Couldn't fault it in anyway. Had lovely welcome with milk in the fridge and a lovely homemade cake as a welcome gift.

great holiday in the countryside of Somerset.

Nice little village, quiet but people around. Owner extremely knowledgeable of the area, having lived there. So well equiped and kept up to comfort, some lovely little villages to visit, and walks with wildlife.

We enjoyed a superb break at Crooked Well, situated in a peaceful and private area of Timsbury - also a good base to explore Somerset.

The owner has lovingly refurbished her cottage to a high standard to make your stay very comfortable. Beautiful quality bed linen and towels are provided and the kitchen is stocked with all the equipment you will need. The comfortable cottage was lovely and clean and also has a beautiful garden to sit in if the weather permits. Timsbury is a delightful little village with very friendly and welcoming locals. It has a well stocked Co-op, fantastic pub, fish & chip shop and coffee shop. We made some lovely memories during our time at Crooked Well and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Fabulous place with outstanding hospitality.

Provided everything you will need for a week away from home, and more besides. Another wheely bin required as emptied 2 weekly; becomes full with 2 bags in it.

Welcoming well equipped family home.

Spotless, very well equipped, quality of the bedding and towels were excellent.

. A very tasty fruitcake and a tray all ready set for a well needed cup of tea was a pleasant touch. Felt like home and would definitely recommend Crooked Well and we would not hesitate in staying there again.

A very welcoming place to stay.

We stayed as a family with my 6 month old daughter and had a wonderful time. A travel cot and highchair were provided for us and there is a lovely garden to enjoy. The village is very peaceful with a great local pub and the location is excellent for visiting the attractions in the surrounding area. It felt like home from home and wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here.

Very comfortable and well presented cottage.

Would stay there again with pleasure.

Crooked Well is a lovely cosy cottage, very comfortable with everything that we needed.

It was meticulously clean, with lots of fluffy towels provided. The owner had even baked us a cake, which was really appreciated after a long drive to the cottage! There is one pub and one shop in the village and the cottage is only a 2 minute walk from both, which was very useful. The local pub, The Seven Stars was a real find, with a great menu, big garden and friendly staff. Timsbury is perfectly located to explore the West Country and we visited Stonehenge, The Roman Baths and Westonbirt Arboretum, whilst there. Overall a great break, in great accommodation!

(I've responded before, but accidentally sent it too soon!

) Crooked Well Cottage, besides being so comfortable for a holiday, was for us the ideal centre for visiting our children and grandchildren who live in the area. Even when covid restrictions are lifted we would like to stay there because the cottage is such a quiet retreat! We would recommend it to anyone wishing to explore Bath or Bristol, and there is easy access to other beautiful places in Somerset. There are some good local shops and pleasant walks in Timsbury itself. My experience of Helpful Holidays has always been very good. Thank-you.

It doesn't take long to feel at home at this comfortable cottage.

It is warm, clean and bright, and very well and generously equipped, especially the kitchen where the owner had anticipated all of our culinary needs. The beds ensure a good night's sleep and the house is situated in a quiet and peaceful location. It was very pleasant sitting in the sunshine in the pretty garden. Even in these difficult times, the owner was able to give a warm welcome in the form of a home-made cake and communications were excellent. Should you need it, help is immediate and on hand. We can highly recommend this property.
