Picturesque Thatched 4 bedroomed Cottage between Quantock Hills and Sea

Situated on a quiet country lane and with views to the Quantock Hills, Rowditch is a thatched roofed cottage set in over an acre of secluded grounds in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Most of the gardens are set to lawn with trees, shrubs and flowers with views to the north across the Bristol Channel to Wales and Exmoor to the west. Mature oaks and ashes surround the perimeters of the property creating privacy and seclusion. Three miles away lie the villages of Stogursey and Nether Stowey and the Quantocks and the coast are each one mile away offering a range of contrasting walks. Within easy driving distance are Glastonbury, Bath and Wells and closer to home are the market towns of Bridgwater and Taunton with theatres, cinemas and supermarkets. Mediaeval Dunster with its grand castle is 12 miles away and 2 miles on from there is the popular beach of Minehead also home to the theme park attractions of Somerwest World and the Somerset Steam Railway.

Wonderful Garden

The thatched cottage is picture perfect, this is a home with history and stories to tell , comfy furniture, Cosy rooms, beautiful garden where we dined alfresco each night , spectacular views and a stones throw to the coast and other picturesque villages , wonderful place for family reunion , had a shopping delivery for when we arrived, and made apple crumble from the tree .well stocked kitchen , though wish I’d taken my knife sharpener. People very friendly. Possibly the best cottage we’ve stayed in .

A lovely stay in Somerset

We loved the property it had privacy and a delightful garden in a great location. We didnt feel the need for too much sightseeing as it was so nice to relax in the peaceful garden surrounded by trees and the sound of the birds. We would highly recommend it.

Family get together

We were thrilled with the cottages and garden. Our children and grandchildren seeing places they haven’t been to before. Our dogs made the best of the garden and were comfortable in their beds in the kitchen. Our host was incredibly helpful with all information needed for our stay and we felt very relaxed. Played games with the family in the evening provided by the host. Many thanks for sharing your home with us David and Miren

The thatched cottage is both picturesque and spacious with beautiful gardens to the front and rear As you enter the house you immediately pick up good vibes of a family home We were a family of grand parents ,parents 3 children under 10 years and two dogs ( an elderly whippet and whippet collie cross) The house is surrounded by interesting walks and excellent family and dog friendly pubs and of course the beach with its numerous fossils is close by

Review of Rowditch, Kilve

This was our second visit to the cottage and we had a comfortable stay. The cottage is very quaint and set in peaceful grounds. There were just a couple of things that we thought we would mention - the hob in the kitchen was difficult to cook with as the rings were temperamental - they only seems to work when on full blast. Our stay coincided with the gardeners visit. This was a shame as we were only staying for the week. Whilst the gardeners were polite, it was quite noisy sitting outside whilst they were there strimming and a little intrusive. Perhaps the gardeners could visit once guests had gone - we vacated the property by 11am on Friday and this may be a good time for the gardeners to come. Just a thought.

Idyllic country hideaway

We celebrated Xmas and New Year at the cottage and it was perfect for the 3 of us. The owners have provided everything one might need in the kitchen and elsewhere, including Xmas decorations and logs for the fire. The house is roomy and warm, beautifully decorated, and the grounds are extensive and a delight to walk around. The Chandlers have been very responsive throughout and were kind enough to let us extend the stay as we were having such a lovely time there. The peace and quiet was so welcome we would definitely think about returning. Top marks! PS: We highly recommend the local Hood Arms; the food is excellent and the staff are super friendly.

Good location and lovely garden BUT inside tired and damp.

This is an attractive-looking cottage from the outside, but unfortunately the photos of the outside and the lovely garden belie the very tired soft furnishings inside. We found all the armchairs and both sofas to be very uncomfortable, and both double beds also in need of updating. The king-size bed was fine in the large airy master bedroom but the 2 single beds in the annex, above the garage, were really too small for a normal-sized adult, and the single glazed window next to these beds made that room feel cold, although an extra oil -filled radiator is provided; the rest of the house is centrally heated and warmed up very quickly when needed. Another issue was that neither of the 2 showers had much water pressure, so the electric shower would keep pausing during use. However, the main problem with this house was the strong smell of damp, particularly in the living room and adjoining garden room, to the extent that we really didn't want to spend much time in there, and it quite spoiled our stay. The owners are very helpful in terms of their comprehensive information etc. but the house would definitely benefit from some internal updating/upgrading. Unfortunately we won't return because of this, even though we loved the location, and certainly could not recommend, sorry.

A Real Comfortable Home

Choosing to hire Kilve was the most difficult part of the process. After that corresponding with Richard the owner was like talking to an old friend and the house itself is lovely and welcomes you immediately as a real home. We wanted, with our friends, a get away to the country for the new year holiday and this was perfect. We walked miles every day both along the coast and in the Quantocks and ate, drank and talked too much round the fire in the evenings. Perfect. Would I change anything? Perhaps persuading the local restaurants to delay going off for their holidays until after new year but then we didn’t have to drive if we ate at home.
