    “The water is unsafe upstairs!”

    The temperature is not adjustable to below scalding. The downstairs shower doesn't have great water pressure and is a very small cubicle but it's better than being scalded by the upstairs one! That's the only negative. Although reading through the guest book a lot of people commented on how unsuitable it was for a rental property

    The problem with the thermostat was fixed as soon as we were made aware. We encourage all guests to report maintenance problems as soon as possible during their stay providing two mobile contact numbers and an email address. Unfortunately we did not hear from the guests during their stay. When we do hear about a problem, we aim to respond either the same day or next especially for urgent issues. Problems can be resolved without affecting the guests stay so we do encourage them to be reported. Unfortunately this review was only received three weeks after the guests stayed. We have checked the water pressure in the shower downstairs and it is good. The shower cubicle is a standard size and suitable for most guests. We also checked the guest book and there are no reviews that would suggest Rose Cottage is an unsuitable property. Property Owner

This Chard cottage has been renovated to a very good standard to provide couples and small family groups with a perfect home-from-home Somerset village holiday experience.

The cosy Chard holiday cottage has three bedrooms with windows overlooking the charming small garden and adjacent little lane, together with both a bath and shower room, a kitchen with dining area and stairs leading to the first floor and a charming sitting room which benefits from a warming woodburner.

The attractive small garden of this Chard holiday cottage offers a front, sunny walled patio; a restful place to relax and plan your day's activities.

Locally, there are lovely rural walks to be had, whilst a short drive takes you into nearby Chard which offers an array of interesting shops, inns and restaurants.

Within easy reach of this Chard cottage there are several historic houses and well-tended gardens to visit, including Barrington Court, Forde Abbey and Montecute House, alternatively take the easy drive south towards the market town of Axminster, and then on to the scenic Jurassic Coast, where a visit to the friendly seaside resort of Lyme Regis makes a lovely day out.

A delightful Chard holiday cottage offering a perfect base for enjoying South Somerset, East Devon and West Dorset.
