Scrambles Cottage

e had a wonderful stay at the cottage and would happily return.

One of the biggest highlights for me was how warm it was — which made such a difference, especially staying with two young children during winter. The cottage felt welcoming from the moment we arrived. It was spotlessly clean, tidy, and very comfortable, with crisp bedding and a really cosy feel throughout. The thoughtful touches on arrival — milk, bread and snacks — were much appreciated and made us feel instantly at home. I absolutely loved the bathroom, which was beautifully warm (a real treat in cold weather!). There was also plenty of firewood provided for our stay, which added to the cosy atmosphere. The location is fantastic too — being so close to Ham Hill Country Park was a real bonus. We walked our dogs there every morning, which was a lovely way to start the day. Overall, a clean, comfortable and welcoming cottage in a great location. Highly recommended.

A very attractive, cosy cottage, with amazing views over the valley.

The weather was very blustery while we were there, but the cottage was well insulated and the woodburning stove kept it lovely and warm. The kitchen is small but well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Easy access to Ham Hill, Montacute and plenty of other lovely countryside within easy reach. The stairs in the cottage are steep and narrow, and there are steps leading from the road to the cottage, so definitely not a place for anyone with mobility issues!

Scrambles Cottage was very cosy and welcoming, within easy walking distance of the village shops and pubs and perfectly located for walkers.

We used the log burner while we were there and it was lovely to snuggle up in front of the fire in the evenings. There was an issue with the central heating when we arrived, but Sykes dealt with it quickly and we also spoke with the owner who was lovely and super helpful, so it was all resolved quickly. Directions to the cottage, parking and key collection were all easy and the welcome hamper was really appreciated. Anyone with mobility issues should consider that there are steep steps up to the property and steep stairs to the first floor. We would definitely return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage. Thank you!

Lovely cottage in a great part of the country.

Did some great walks around the woods at Ham Hill. Love the coffee shop and packed charity shop down the road. Everyone very friendly.

Lovely little cottage.

Great welcome items. Comfy chairs and bed. Good shower. Nice and warm Enjoyed the Sunday lunch at Fleur de Lis and the walk up and around Ham Hill. Lots of NT properties nearby.

Lovely stay, just as described on the website.

Well stocked and comfortable cottage, welcome goodies were a lovely gesture too.

This is a lovely, small terrace cottage in the pretty village of Stoke sub Hamdon.

Parking is easy in the designated parking spot on the road opposite. The house is well equipped and comfortable. Lovely bathroom with hot shower and super soft John Lewis towels, comfortable beds and although the kitchen is tiny, I cooked a proper meal every day bar one and found everything I needed. Final day we walked to The Prince of Wales Pub for a roast. It was fabulous and very reasonably priced - I recommend you book a table if you take the dog as they are only allowed in the bar area. The views from the front garden are breathtaking and you have Ham Hill country park on your doorstep which is great for walking/dog walking, in fact there are lots of walks and some lovely National Trust places near by. Definitely not for people with mobility issues, as there are four steep steps (no handrail) from the road then up the path and 18 more steep steps to the house. The house is also over three floors with more steep steps inside.

A lovely cottage situated with fabulous views to the front and within easy reach of Ham Hill Country Park.

The property was tastefully decorated & we had everything we needed. We were blessed with the weather and able to take advantage of the front garden which just needs a little more TLC to make it a perfect relaxing space. The only downside for us was the shared access to the enclosed back garden. This came as a complete surprise and made using the space so awkward that we chose not to use it. We found no mention of this unusual arrangement in any of the property information. A note to the property owner provided the necessary clarity but we would strongly recommend that this be included to ensure full transparency. The parking was a little problematic with our neighbour to start with - despite the very clear signs. Again the owner committed to contact the owner of 59. All in all, a great stay.

We had a lovely three night stay, cottage was really well presented clean and cosy.

The welcome goodies went down well and was much appreciated. Fantastic location and views and places to explore :)

We felt very much at home for the week at Scrambles Cottage.

The view was glorious and the cottage was very comfortable. A short climb up the hill to a lovely country park complete with friendly pub. Lots to do within a short drive

Shambles Cottage is a delightful place to stay with unrivalled views across the Somerset countryside.

As mentioned in the description, the steps from the road to the cottage are steep, as are the two flights in the house, so anyone with mobility issues should be aware. The beds are very comfortable and we slept very well. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our last minute holiday to scrambles cottage.

The views over Somerset from the front garden are spectacular. A wonderful food hamper was awaiting us as we entered the property. The following items were not in the cottage as previously stated in your welcome pack: No torch, no can opener, cooker extractor fan not working, allocated car parking space occupied for entire stay by another vehicle, outside front light not working, two batteries missing from radio in living room and no logs for the fire. I understand it was a last minute booking but felt the floors could have done with a better clean.

We really enjoyed our stay in Scrambles Cottage.

The view from the front window was second to none and the facilities in the cottage were amazing, very clean and comfortabe. We appreciated our welcome gift of eggs, milk, bread, bacon and butter! A nice surprise. The log burning stove was a highlight and we were able to buy logs locally.

Beautiful cottage newly refurbished to a high standard.

We arrived Christmas eve and there were no logs for fire which we were looking forward to and lack of immediate items like bin liner and detergents. Overall lived cottage and location.

What a beautiful cottage, lovely welcome gift of biscuits and milk in the fridge, views are spectacular, and had everything you need.

Very modern finish, beautiful wood burner, comfy bed, high quality towels. Excellent pub nearby with fantastic walks around the country park. Not disabled friendly, due to lots of steps up to the cottage, and stairs up to the bedrooms, this was stated in the description though. I’d definitely recommend this wonderful home to spend your holiday, hopefully we will return in the new year!

We enjoyed our stay at Scrambles cottage.

Very comfortable with lovely views. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy bed and a great shower. Welcome pack was much appreciated

Lovely cottage in an excellent location for nearby attractions.

Very clean and well maintained. The only issue we had was arriving in the rain and finding the keysafe, as the wall listed on the instructions was obscured by a bush. After wandering around looking at every wall, we finally saw it. It required crawling on hands and knees, parting foliage and using a phone torch to get the key. The owners might want you rethink that one as we did not use the key safe during the week due to accessibility, but had to carry the key.

Really beautiful location.

Cottage lost nothing of its cosiness to a modern and clean conversion that made for an enjoyable and relaxing home from home. Beds very comfy. Proximity to Ham Hill Country park perfect for our 2 dogs - incredible views and long walks.

This is probably one of the best cottages we have ever had.

Beautifully done out, clean, well equipped, with a lovely welcome pack, and close to the attractions we were interested in visiting. The only thing we would suggest is to make it plain in the advertising that this might not be the best cottage for those with mobility problems. We had no issues, but as well as the steep path and steps leading to the property (which were mentioned) the stairs inside were also extremely steep and, with the relatively narrow treads, could prove to be a hazard for some. Once again, this wasn't a problem for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Lovely stay in a beautiful location with outstanding views.

Cottage beautifully done and really cosy. Prince of Wales pub excellent as was The Kings Arms at Montecute a few miles away. Neighbours and locals all very friendly and helpful. Points for noting: TV in bedroom had no aerial lead; Absence of welcome pack (sponge cake and milk only) was not really a problem as we brought plenty with us; May need curtain over front door in bad weather as gap in letter box (draft).

Comfortable charming cottage well worth the climb from the road to the front door.

Stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Thankyou for the generous welcome gifts. The kitchen is well stocked with essential dry goods making food and drink preparations easy. Lots of interesting places to see and good walking areas nearby.

The photos don’t do this property justice!

It’s beautiful and simply magical. The views were incredible and the cottage was quaint. We loved it and it felt like something out of a story book. It felt cosy and deceivingly my specious for a 2 bedroom cottage. This cottage is very well cared for. We would walk down to the local parks daily and drove to West bay, Yeovil and Crewkerne to access the local pools. There were a variety of beaches within 45 minutes drive, such a great location. We could have stayed longer with so much to do in all weather conditions. Thank you so much.

Lovely stay at Scrambles, very clean, everything catered for at the cottage, good welcome pack on arrival which was very much appreciated.

Despite the wet weather we unfortunately had during our stay there was a lovely view from the front garden of the Cottage and a great Pub just up the hill.

Comfortable cottage with a view of the Somerset levels from the garden.

Well equipped kitchen. You need to be fit and mobile as lots of steps to the cottage, and steep staircases to first and second floor bedrooms. There are also steps to small back garden.

Very well presented accommodation with more than you need for a nice holiday.

Lovely views from both front and back. Beware of the amount of steps in order to access the property. Seems to be an issue with getting the waste bins emptied.
