The Wheelhouse

The owners Matthew &Maggie are excellent hosts.

They have really done a great job transforming the Wheelhouse into something special. You are surrounded by beautiful countryside,If you want peace and quiet would definitely recommend the Wheelhouse.

Lovely little cottage with peaceful surroundings.

It had everything there that was needed to make our stay enjoyable. We live in a very busy road so to wake up in this idyllic location was bliss!

This charming accommodation offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience.

While compact, the space is thoughtfully designed and well-equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Highlights: • Stunning views with spectacular sunrise vistas from bedroom • Peaceful, quiet location • Well-appointed interior • Efficient use of space • Delightful rear patio - perfect for morning coffee • Rich birdlife and natural surroundings • Sun-trapped outdoor seating area • To find a pint of milk and delicious packet of biscuits on arrival were very much appreciated Outdoor Experience: The rear patio provides an idyllic spot to start the day, offering a peaceful setting to enjoy morning coffee while taking in the beautiful sunshine and watching the local birdlife. Safety Note: Caution advised - towel rail operates at very high temperatures, particularly noticeable when exiting shower. Overall: A delightful property that makes excellent use of its cozy dimensions while delivering outstanding views and a tranquil setting, both indoors and out. We very much hope to return!

We chose The Wheelhouse for its convenience to the many Geocaching circuits in and around Chard.

We were not disappointed [:)] The property is in a very peaceful location with easy access to the A 303 and the A 30 to Chard where you can find all the usual eateries and supermarkets for supplies [:)] ). The Wheelhouse is warm, cosy and comfortable with an excellent wifi connection. The shower is spacious within a smallish but serviceable bathroom. Be aware that you may bump your head on the sloping bedroom ceiling (we are both tall) but probably not more than twice!! The outside garden area looks out over the countryside towards Chard and no doubt on warmer, rain free days it will be a lovely spot to sit and ponder following a day out Geocaching or any other activities which take your fancy. The owners, Mathew and Maggie, live just across the driveway from the cottage. Whilst they are very discrete and respectful of your privacy they are very approachable so do not hesitate to call on them should you need help with the keysafe, TV or washer/dryer [:)] We had a great week at The Wheelhouse, Geocaching every day. We are hoping to return later this year to complete more Geocaching circuits in the area and maybe we'll get to spend some time in the garden too [:)]

We had a wonderful week.

Exactly what we had hoped for…peace, silence, warmth, comfort. The photographs clearly pointed out the space and size of the shower room and the sloping bedroom ceiling. Having nevertheless knocked my head in the bedroom and adapted to the size of the bathroom, it was just perhaps noting that for the first night if you get out of bed in the dark be careful! In every other way we were surprised to find the cottage so well equipped: A whole set of towels each, milk and biscuits plus coffee tea salt and pepper, kitchen roll, toilet roll, soap and shower gel etc. The oven was easy to work and the smart TV. The owner was so welcoming. The nearby farm shop was one of the best by a long way.

We enjoyed two wonderfully peaceful nights at the Wheelhouse over New Year.

It was the perfect retreat for our dog who is petrified of fireworks, being surrounded by fields. That said, The Wheelhouse is very close to many other villages and seaside towns. The host greeted us upon arrival and we knew where to find or contact them if needed. Straight away, the host made us and our dog feel very welcome. The cottage is lovely and has everything you need - there was even local dairy milk in the fridge for us. The bed was very comfortable too. We enjoyed sitting on the sofa, looking out over the fields to the hills beyond - so relaxing. There is also a good outside space to enjoy and explore. We would definitely recommend The Wheelhouse.

Lovely cottage in the middle of the black down hills .

The cottage is very clean and has everything you need . It's in a remote location with great view of the valley and a great sunset and sunrise . Your nearest village is yarcombe which also has a local pub and shop . If you want public transport to other places your best bet is Honiton train station which goes further afield ( dawlish etc) . The owners are lovely and check if you have everything you need . Would happily return again

Wonderful location.

Superb views.Nice to be greeted warmly by the owner.

Made welcome by owner Matthew who was unaware of dogs, although Sykes had been notified of 2 adults + 2 dogs.

Welcome package was a nice touch. Wheelhouse clean, towels supplied better than many hotels. Matthew and Maggie excellent hosts without being intrusive. Would highly recommend the Wheelhouse

Absolutely fantastic cottage the views were amazing the best we have ever had.

The cottage itself was perfect for us very well maintained and had everything we needed for the week.The owners who live next door are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for them. Just a fantastic experience and we will be recommending the cottage to everyone we know and it's a must just for the views

A lovely quiet place with a beautiful view, the owner was very walcoming and helpful.

It had everything we needed and very comfortable, easy access to nearby pubs within 20 minutes, The Tuckers Arms in Dalwood, there are plenty of places to visit, the Donkey Sanctuary, there is a lovely walk above Sitmouth with great views. We felt relaxed and comfortable, We would love to stay again. Thank you, Cec & Anne

Lovely little house, everything you could need, with the most amazing views.

The owner was so welcoming and helpful but also left you in peace. Fantastic garden which the dogs loved exploring and access to the meadow a bonus. Great base to explore the area and found some great pubs within a few minutes drive. We will be back

A really pleasant stay.

Everything we needed was provided. The Wheelhouse was clean, tidy and we couldn’t be any more relaxed.

A well equipped and comfortable holiday home.

The owners Matt & Maggie were very welcoming and helpful. The highlight for our dog was the meadows to roam in but for us it was the amazing views across the valley. There is also plenty to see in the local area: Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, seaside places of Beer, Seaton and Lyme Regis. The Seaton Tramway is well worth a ride on. A very enjoyable holiday was had at The Wheelhouse.

It has everything for a great holiday great base

Fantastic location, beautiful views and very tranquil.

The cottage was very tastefully decorated, cosy with the most amazing views overlooking the countryside. Owners were lovely hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to relax and unwind to holiday there.

Great little cottage in an incredible location.

A big thank you to Matthew and Maggie, plus Willow, who were very welcoming and friendly.

Beautiful holiday home, clean, comfortable and cosy. Big garden for my two little dogs, in fact I sat in the sunshine one afternoon on the patio, before the snow fell. I have certainly enjoyed my relaxing visit, quiet and peaceful but easy access to the local area, short trip to Sidmouth. Will certainly return, soon
