Perfect weekend escape

5 of 5
Submitted: May 13, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We were a hen party of 14 that spent the weekend at the cottage and it was absolutely perfect. Box Farm is a beautiful property and it is so wonderfully quirky, and it is huge! When we arrived it was spotlessly clean, and well equipped with everything we could possibly need.
The surrounding area is beautiful, and we recommend visiting Wilkins cider farm, and were lucky enough to get a lift back to the cottage by the owner when we couldn't face the walk back up the hill!
It really is a perfect cottage and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much and I wish you all the best for the future.

Wonderful weekend reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: January 21, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
We had a wonderful weekend reunion at Box Farm farmhouse. It was not only large enough for our group of 12 (6 adults + 6 children), but it also felt spacious and could have accommodated more. The house instantly felt like home. It was clean and furnished to a high standard. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room large enough for us all to eat together. It had snowed a great deal yet the house felt warm throughout. A grand piano with sheet music kept the aspiring X Factor mums occupied for hours whilst the dads quietly slipped away to the cosy snug with its open fire. It took us longer to find the children who were hiding in the games room. The house was full of quirky items that kept the children interested and occupied. There was much to explore. Board games, dvd’s and books also kept young and old entertained. The owners were relaxed and welcoming. Vince advised us about a walking route in the area and was very welcoming. Eve was extremely helpful and flexible about our delayed arrival and departure times (due to the heavy snow). Their attitude helped to set the tone for a relaxing weekend. The surrounding area was tranquil and the snow helped to create picture postcard views all around. We would definitely highly recommend and are already talking about booking next year.
Owner's Response: That's great and exactly what we like to hear, guests that have had a wonderful time and plan to return. We look forward to seeing you again. Thanks, Eve

New Years at Box Farm

5 of 5
Submitted: January 20, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
What a fantastic way to see in 2013! We booked the house for 4 nights over New Years, and were a group of 15 (age 10-50). Wonderful memories of our stay here, spacious yet cosy and the snug was perfect for many a board game by the fire! Eve was very helpful in answering questions and providing extra things we found we needed whilst there. Being able to arrange the bedrooms according to what suited us was great! Surprises round every corner(!), very quirky and we all had such fun over the 4 days spent there. Our trip to Wilkins Cider Farm on New Years Day was brilliant, Roger was very friendly and far too generous in our free 'tasters' of the lovely cider! Walks from the house were not as easy as we had hoped, but luckily we had cars so were able to drive to local places and walk from there. We were not too bothered by this but I imagine if you are looking for a place to use as a base for walking from then it might not be quite what you are after. Thank you for a great start to the year from all of us!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much, I am so pleased you had such a great time

Christmas at Box Farm and Veritys Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: January 3, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
17 of us spent Christmas at Box Farm and Veritys Cottage. Our party included people of all ages- 50s, 30s, 20s and children aged 3-9. All if us loved the house! The men quickly felt at home in the snug, playing cards round the fire. The kids loved the play room and exploring the quirky rooms. The gym was an added bonus too!
The house was so well equipped. We cooked and served Christmas dinner for 17. We had everything we needed! There was even a Christmas tree and decorations up on our arrival.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend others to stay at Box. It is wonderfully quirky, cosy but spacious. There are lots of things to see and do nearby. We visited Wookey hole, Cheddar, Longleat safari park and Burnham on Sea. Wells cathedral was lovely too.
We had a great holiday. Thank you!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much, I am so glad you all had such a wonderful Christmas.

Hope to see you sometime again in the future.

What a lovely stay!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 3, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Box Farm certainly ticked all our boxes, warm, relaxed and wonderfully bizarre!
We stayed during half term and all fell in love with the house, it is so cosy but yet spacious. The children loved the playroom and the quirky bedrooms, the adults loved the space and peace.
The kitchen is very well equipped (as is the whole house) and it was great to have a washing machine for muddy clothes.
The area is lovely but the walking was a bit disappointing due to some footpaths not being maintained.
This house can very comfortably sleep 15 and is ideal for extended families.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much, nice to hear you all had such a good time
