“Pheasant Cottage was a lovely place to get away and chill.”

The grounds are just beautiful - with a babbling brook, foot bridge, apple trees and dear little donkeys - and the Cottage has a fabulous huge picture window looking out onto them. We enjoyed walking round the grounds and feeding the donkeys as much as we did our trips to Wells and Bath! The Cottage is small but fine for a couple seeking a relaxing break and thoughtfully designed - offering very comfortable accommodation with a good quality bed and pillows allowing an excellent night's sleep; and the facilities are also very good, including a washer dryer for clothes and a microwave. We would definitely recommend.

“We loved our stay at Pheasant Cottage, all was as described but more.”

We were not expecting the amazing garden, land and views. Lucy and Simon made us feel really welcome. Thank you so much.

“From the minute we arrived we felt so relaxed and at home.”

Pheasant Cottage is beautifully appointed, so clean and very comfortable. We loved nothing more than to wake up early and sit on the patio with a coffee and just enjoy the peace and the views of the garden, which just goes on and on. Set in 18 beautiful acres, which we were free to explore, we really felt we were getting away from it all when we arrived. Coming from a busy town it was such a treat to hear nothing but birdsong and bees (and the occasional donkey!) and we switched off completely while we were there. We enjoyed walks in the countryside around the chocolate-box village of Priston and cosy evenings in the friendly village pub. The hosts Lucy and Simon were so warm and helpful and we had many a lovely chat with them. They advised of all the good places to eat and visit and we completely fell in love with rural Somerset (and Bath and Wells!) We can’t wait to return again one day and only wish we’d booked two weeks! Pheasant Cottage was the perfect antidote for the stress of the last 6 months. Thank you :)

“Fantastic stay”

We had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean. Lucy and Simon were fantastic hosts. They made us feel very at home. They were very helpful throughout our stay and of course we have to mention Lucys lemon drizzle cake. It was simply the best in the world for us.The cottage was nice and cosy. Self contained cottage and we had everything we needed. The bed was really very comfortable.Great view,clean air,great host and nice place,what else could we ask for? We highly recommend this place.

“Pheasant Cottage was a totally comfortable and peaceful experience.”

The property has been imaginatively designed to provide everything necessary for a delightful break. The grounds in which the cottage is set are private and peaceful - inhabited by donkeys and occasionally visited by herons and deer as well as a whole host of butterflies and bees. The private patio outside the cottage is a gorgeous sun trap - just the place to loll about; and when we wanted shade, we had a relaxing swing in one of the hammocks in the garden. Simon and Lucy are welcoming hosts, but not intrusive; Lucy had left a delicious lemon drizzle cake for us, which saw us right through the length of our week’s stay. The place was spotless, the furnishings were beautiful, the bed was very comfortable and the cottage had all that we needed and more than we expected. Thank you so much!

“This is one of the best cottages for a couple we have ever stayed in.”

If you want peace and quiet with the option to go for long walks in the countryside, this is the place. Due to everything going on at the moment our activities were limited to walks through fields and self catering but this place was equipped perfectly for that. The bed was comfy. The bathroom well appointed and clean and the kitchen just right. The view when you open the bedroom doors is incredible thanks to the fully glass wall. When this whole mess is over we're definitely coming back! Our only minor nitpick and it is minor is the table and chairs might be more comfortable if they were lower as it wasn't great on our backs sitting up high on bar stools with a small back support. We can't wait to visit again.

- Mr Nutt, March 2020

What lovely comments, thank you so much! It is a really beautiful place for walks and we are glad you managed to discover some of these during your stay. Owner relations

“It is a very nice cottage but for 2 of us it was too small.”

The shower room was good but the bedroom is so small that it was hard to walk round the bed and there is no room for storage or clothes. The lounge/kitchen room is also small with insufficient room to store food. A dishwasher rather than a washing machine would be usefull especially as there is very limited kitchen workspace. The TV is quite old, small with very poor sound. A few more games would also help. Finally the large window has no blind so there is little privacy although it is unlikely anyone will be walking by. On the friday morning though there were 2 gardeners mowing and strimming grass outside the window - also quite loud. Although Priston is quite a nice village the pub is very disappointing, empty and is usually closed. This cottage is expensive for its size.

- Mr Wood, December 2019

"We are very sorry you were unhappy with your stay. Pheasant Cottage has been specifically and carefully designed as a cozy country get-away with new appliances and state of the art underfloor heating, fine art on the walls, comfortable surroundings, etc. The huge window looks down a private valley which is part of our property and as you say no one walks past so blinds would be both impractical and unnecessary. As the Cottage is so popular our ground staff do have to maintain the property frequently, but always try to keep any disturbance to a minimum. We are sorry that you found the village pub disappointing. As you will have noticed from our Visitors Book previous guests find the food and atmosphere at the pub one of the highlights of their stay in the village. Pricing is competitive given the care and attention that goes into our property which is maintained and managed to a high standard." Lucy Barnes - Owner Owner relations

The owners really have created a wonderful bolt-hole for two.

Alternatively a 5 minute stroll through the village will bring you to the highly regarded village pub.

All in all the perfect choice for a get away from it all break.
