Whipcott Water

Overall very disappointed

Sofa was a little uncomfy / tv remote temperamental other than that great place to stay

Wicket had obviously been repainted recently but this could not disguise the awful grouting and silicone in the bathroom. The chest of drawers was so unstable I didn’t dare use it. The dishwasher wouldn’t shut so it leaked everywhere when we tried to use it. A lot of the china was chipped and marked. Most of the jets in the hot tub didn’t work and when I tried to switch them on a load of scum came out of them. Really disappointed so we came home after 3 days

we stayed from August 14 for 4 NIGHTS. the property was spacious compare to a lodge or caravan. convenient parking space. It was too dark and no fresh feeling in the property. Lightings not sufficient and some bulbs not working at all. Overgrown grass and untidy outdoor areas. The hot tub area was total mess. The tub itself full of insects, dirt, dry leaves surrounded by spider webs. Tub cover very dirty and definitely need replacing.

Great as a base from which to explore the area and beyond. Clean, spacious and with the added bonus of a hot tub. But it is very dated on the inside and in need of a refresh. The kitchen area is old and not in the best condition with stains up the wall and across the ceiling which really should have been painted and cleared up , but it is functional. There was a broken socket where the facia had come away exposing the metal back plate, this is basic health and safety oversight of the owners and should be fixed as a priority. The hot tub was nice, but I did not believe someone came to test the water or add chemicals everyday, by day 4 it was evident that the cleaning regime was not in place. The description says you may experience some road noise, yes you will. It is next to a road used by large lorries to access a nearby quarry and you will notice them and you might want to ensure young children don't play on the drive way or front garden area as those lorries go past quite fast. But again personally this did not bother me as we used it as a base and after breakfast were out of the house all day, but do not book this property expecting unbroken peace and quiet during the working day. At night however peace reigns. If this property had a modern update, then it would be more appealing, but also probably more expensive. As costs go this was attractively priced and perfect for what we used it for.

Rather grubby appearance due to old, worn fixtures and fittings. Basic areas such as fridge, bath and toilet, sink etc clean. Bed linen clean and beds comfortable. Not enough towels for 1 per person. Outside area nice and secluded but overgrown, cobwebby and needed sweeping++ Hot tub NOT maintained - expected somebody to appear to check and clean but nobody ever did and water was dirty - did not use last 2 days. Very overpriced for what was provided. Needs a complete makeover and much improved regular maintenance.

Very disappointing

The property itself is lovely but does need attention. The furniture is a bit dated. The plumbing sings when you use the hot tap but theres plenty of hot water. The hot tub also had a couple of missing nozzles but it worked fine. There was also a birds nest in the loft space.

lovley cottage, lovley host would recommend to anyone

Great place the family really enjoyed it.

We loved it here. The staff went out of there way to help us and we're easily accessible and approachable.
Its far enough away for a relaxing quite time, but close enough for some days out if you wish.

The lodge was spacious and well equipped for our short break. The hot tub was the highlight and great to relax in.

AS stated before we as a group of four could not fault the accommodation or the area or the helpfulness of the owner Sue.

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed a very relaxing weekend away would highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay lovely cottage and hot tub as a bonus! Cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

Only issues we had was with the shower not having a lot of water pressure probably due to it being an old power shower. And the bed was two singles pushed together and felt like the centre of the mattress dipped. Other than that all facilities available where more than adequate.

Quiet, (the road noise was very very minimal.) Well equipped property perfect for get togthers and gatherings with friends and family.

Easy and relaxed would highly recommend.

Excellent holiday cottage with full range of facilities. Just needed a couple of minor repairs to score perfect.

Beautiful stay again at our second visit to whipcott water, lovely scenery at Hilltop Cottage, peaceful, relaxing. Sue is really welcoming and always happy to help.

Thank you for another lovely stay.

Perfect home away from
Home would highly recommend

Hilltop was a great place to explore from. We will return.

Excellent weekend away staying at Hopper. The bungalow and location were great, nice large living room/kitchen, nice bedrooms, very warm with an electric fire/heater in the living room as well. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking utensils and had great facilities if you want to do some home cooking. The hot-tube was great, we used it every night and the owner came and cleaned it every morning. Would recommend visiting Bickleigh Mill and seeing the peacocks.

Love this place and can’t wait to go back

Many thanks for a superb break. Everything we needed for our 4 night stay.

Great time hopefully going back again

For what we paid It was amazing I would of quite happily paid a fair bit more. The perfect little escape.

A lovely relaxing break away.

Had a amazing time at Wicket Lodge Whipcott Water was greeted by the owner Sue on arrival lovely lady very warm and welcoming even in the pouring rain. Lodge was as described clean tidy and very homely and warm very comfortable sofas!! Hot tub was out of this world no matter the weather kids loved it didn't want to get out it was very well looked after and treated every morning by Sue ready to use daily. Beautiful location close to Wellington and Taunton with everything you needed available got to do everything we wanted Cheddar, Wookey, Longleat, and got to drive around local village's stunning views whole family loved it missing the place already would fully recommend Whipcott Water please don't believe the unfair negative reviews posted by inconsiderate people this place it lovely well worth the money and would definitely stay again hopefully next year. Massive thanks to Sue for a wonderful holiday love Carl Amber Aaliyah Keira and Liam x

Excellent relaxing holiday would go back..

Lovely surroundings beautiful scenery the accommodation had plenty of room and staff very helpful would definitely visit again ?

Never needed to see staff. Hot tub lovely as start although chlorine tables was never added to dispenser after we arrived, and therefore not sure it stayed above appropriate level. Location great , quiet and secluded. Lodge spacious although a bit dated, no 2 pins in bathroom and bit weedy outside on patio, but wound not put off booking again

The road outside the propertys is disgusting wagons speeding past in excess of 35 mph needs looking into the lodges are in a good location apart from the road close to all amenities over was ok warden very helpful c.golding party.

It was a wonderful place very neat and clean and all facilities available, they have thought through everything The only thing that was missing was the wifi was not working and there was no mobile signal in there But apart from that a great holiday place with a beautiful canal near by

Peaceful relaxing beautiful
