Minstrels

Wonderful cosy cottage, amazing welcome pack from the hosts including Christmas treats. A great way to spend Christmas!

This is a spacious property, with a bright and airy kitchen, dining area and living room making time spent there enjoyable. The property has easy parking. The view to Glastonbury Tor towards the back of the property is delightful. Jon and Linda were very accommodating hosts eager to make visitors welcome and comfortable. Although a small village, Shapwick has a bus service that proves helpful.

This was a very comfortable and well cared for property and is very close to the wonders of Avalon Marshes, as well as close to Wells, Glastonbury and Bath.

We really appreciated the lovely welcome pack. Best we have had in a holiday let! The tip for the farm next door for our children was also much appreciated and the peaceful scenery and spacious, light filled & well organised interior was delightful. We felt truly refreshed from the experience of staying here!

The cottage was even better than expected. The owners were friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. The garden and outdoor space was beautiful. We felt very comfortable and the dog loved it too.

The details on the website were very aceart, many thanks.

The owners, Linda and Jon, are so friendly and helpful. A great deal of love and attention to detail have been invested in Minstrels. The wet room is a real luxury feature and the use of the roof space is eye catching. It's a really cosy, warm place to stay. We weren't particularly impressed with local pubs fir eating out in the evening. We had far more success using excellent cafes for lunch in Bath, Frome, Beckington and Wells. Wells Cathedral was awe inspiring, especially the library. The Avalon Marshes are quite otherworldly and the wildlife is remarkable. The location was further West than would have been ideal for us fir the main places we intended to visit.

Went beyond our expectations the hosts are absolutely lovely and they went the extra mile will be returning for sure

A really lovely stay and a very well appointed cottage. Nice quiet picturesque village and easy to get to surrounding places. Great for exploring the area and even better to get back to the cottage and settle down for the evening!

An enjoyable stay in a well equipped and comfortable cottage, with the added bonus of a generous welcome pack including some high quality home baking. Probably due to our age the mezzanine galleries didn't particularly work for us, the dominance of the wood in the decor made it a little dark and there was a surprising amount of road noise in the early morning. We found the wider area very interesting with lots to see and do.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Minstrels and would recommend it as a comfortable base to explore the Somerset levels (more interesting than we expected) together with the pretty villages and hills nearby. The treats on arrival were better than any we have ever had!

Lovely welcoming property in a quiet location just a short drive from Glastonbury and Wells. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need. We had a very enjoyable week and would highly recommend to others.

Minstrels is a beautiful cottage, well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Fantastic welcome pack of homemade carrot cake, bread, jam and marmalade also locally sourced eggs, milk, butter and cheese there was also a bottle of wine and bag of minstrels, lovely surprise to find all of these ‘goodies’ along with a hand written welcome card from the owners, such a lovely touch. The cottage itself was fitted out to a high standard, comfortable beds and an amazing walk in shower, the en suite bathroom was a quirky addition to the bedroom, snug area was a great area to go and sit in, gardens were lovely and the view from the secret garden was stunning. The cottage is situated in a quiet area with secure electric gate system, close to many local amenities and many great places to visit. Would highly recommend to others and we will hopefully return to stay again in the future.

Lovely property, peaceful location and well located for visits to well known towns and points of interest. The owners were lovely.

Beautiful cottage, very welcoming open and bright. Plenty of room for everyone. Very thoughtful welcome package, fresh scones, cake, milk, cheese and a Easter egg. Wonderful nights sleep in the comfy beds. Fantastic outdoor spaces. Great location for dogs. Wetlands just down the road. Lots of great locations in easy access by car.
