An understated gem in a excellent location for touring.
Owners are unobtrusive yet attentive and very friendly.
Property spacious and decorated to a high standard with extensive gardens and recreational areas for keeping the younger ones happy.
Much preferred the surrounding areas to Cornwall and will definitely be back.
Thanks Eve.

The weather didnt matter

My wife and I visited to celebrate our anniversary and we found the hospitality and the property absolutely perfect. Despite typical british weather the cottage was always warm and cozy thanks to the fantastic log fire. We also found there was plenty on site and locally to keep us occupied too. It was great to be able to let the dog out without fear of roads etc and the kennel was a fantastic idea though we found most local attractions are dog friendly. Thank you Vince and Eve...even better than it said on the tin.

We spent one week at Ravenswood Cottage which is excellent for travelling with children. Spacious rooms with perfect electrical lightening which makes reading easy at every time of the day. Comfortable beds with luxury mattresses and bedlinen. Everything was so crips and clean that you felt home at once.
Wedmore is 5 min away with a huge variety of lovely shops. We loved the newly openend "Pumpkin Deli" which serves excellent food.
Contact with the cottage's owner was very nice, we would love to come back.

Perfect

Our family of 2 adults and 2 children stayed at this cottage in October 2010 and it was the ideal place to spend 4 or 5 days away from London. The cottage was beautifully appointed - very true to the photos on the website (it did everything it said on the tin!), wonderfully clean and in excellent working order. The freshly-baked bread, local cheese and jam on arrival was delicious! We had wonderful days out at the local attractions, evenings out the local pubs and just a lovely time relaxing and taking it easy enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We would love to come back to rent Ravenswood cottage again, and also to invite other family members to stay at their larger cottage as well. Thank you Eve and Vince.

The perfect place

Submitted: February 15, 2011 Stayed: June 2010
In june 2010 we (2 adults and a 2 year old child) spend 1 week in Ravenswood cottage. It was the perfect place for us. The cottage is situated in a beautiful rural landscape with great views. Verry quiet and romantic, but also a very good base to explore the beautiful Mendip Hills and tourist attractions like Cheddar, Wookey Hole, Wells and Glastonbury.

The cottage itself is very nice, well equipped, spacious and very comfortable. The basked with the homemade bread and other basic stuff on arrival was a very big and nice surprise. Thank you Eve and Vince. We highly recommend this property for people with young childeren. Our son played for hours in the big garden and loved to watch the farmers working in the field behind Box Farm.
