We loved staying in Hyde cottage, with pretty views all around, and very quiet. And with nice places around to visit, like East Coker and the Sutton Bingham reservoir, NT properties near Yeovil, etc. We hope to come back in the future, and would like to thank the hospitable owners for all their advice and help !

A lovely characterful and unpretentious property. The private garden enjoys the sun most especially in the morning, but also has sun in the evening as well. Lovely views to the south-east and although the railway line is a stone's throw away, we found it endearing rather than intrusive. The stairs in the cottage, being authentic, are quite steep anRead mored might possibly be difficult for some. However upstairs is spacious and the view of the reservoir from the bathroom is lovely.

The joy of our visit started with our arrival at Hyde Farm gate where our host was waiting to guide us in. The cottage, its situation, and level of comfort made it a superb place to chill or use as a centre for sightseeing; we did a bit of both. The garden gives unobstructed views over a field where we took great pleasure in watching 'Ronan' (adoptRead moreed stallion) socialise with a herd of sheep. A nearby pub (walkable), the 'Helyar Arms' added to our pleasure with tasty meals and ale. Hide

The perfect spot. An easy to get to location, peaceful and beautiful with a large private garden overlooking a field full of sheep and the reservoir. Pub with good food just 20min walk away through more green. The accommodation feels like it was put together with love. Definitely a place to keep going back to.

A well-appointed cottage in a quiet location, Mary and Bill gave us various tips on local places to go. We found some great walks from the doorstep and into Dorset, especially on the coast and landmarks such as Cerne Abbas and Hambledon Hill.
