Some of the things our guests have said.
This was our first time staying and we have to say we had a fantastic week, even though the weather wasn't at its best. The accommodation is first class and every small detail is thought of which gives you that home from home experience. The welcome pack was a bonus and a lovely touch and having the warm welcome on arrival starts your holiday to a relaxing time.
I even had time to do drone footage for Andrew to show our appreciation of such a lovely stay so others can appreciate the location.
We highly recommend and will be coming back.

Another lovely stay at Westport Farm Cottages. A real home from home. Wonderful hosts. Lovely to see how Monty has grown. Looking forward to 2025.
Barry & Maureen October 2024
The ideal cottage for our mobility needs. Everything we need and wonderful hosts. We've been before and will look forward to coming again.
Phil & Wendy. September 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hare Cottage last week. The accommodation was excellent for a wheelchair user, with all the necessary equipment, without it feeling "institutionalised".
Everything had been thought of, from the electrical equipment to the dishwasher and washing tablets!
The Welcome Pack was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the free range eggs and home produce (apple juice, jam, chutney, cider).
The hospitality of Andrew and Merlin was outstanding - nothing was too much trouble.
The location was excellent to visit both coastal resorts and countryside attractions.
We fully recommend this excellent property and hope to return in the near future.
Andrea & Jim June 2024
Thank you so much for our lovely relaxing holiday in Cockerel Cottage. Everything we needed for our stay.
Thank you for the lovely Welcome Pack and your kindness. Our family will love the jam and chutney that we purchased.
See you next year.

Thank you Alexandra, Andrew and Merlin for a delightful week - we even brought the sunshine with us! Your care for your guests is second to none and we hope to see you again very soon.
Mo & Mike. June 2024
This was a great stay - my husband's first break since becoming quite ill and immobile last year. Acessibility was a real issue so the bathroom, [riser/recliner] chair and ease of movement made the stay very pleasurable.
We enjoyed our welcome pack and my birthday card.
Thanks Andrew and Merlin.
Brian & Sonia. June 2024

We had a very warm welcome back to Cockerel Cottage - lovely, relaxing, tranquil stay with beautiful surroundings - lovely scenery all around, so pleasant to sit and watch the chickens amongst the blossoming fruit trees. A big thankyou to Alexandra, Andrew, Merlin & not forgetting Binky for an unforgettable stay.
Gordon & Mary April 2024
This was our third stay, this time in Cockerel Cottage. We always feel so relaxed, tranquil and calm when we stay. Thank you again to Andrew, Alexandra & Merlin for your brilliant attention to care. We will see you all again next year, now we have found this very special place.
Jan, Mick & Lottie our dog May 2024

Westport Farm is the perfect location for exploring the Somerset contryside. Gander Cottage was a perfect stay with everything we needed. Thank you Andrew, Alexandra& Merlin for makingour stay so pleasurable.
Ray & Christine. June 2023
What a wonderfully peaceful spot. Great for watching the sunrise. Thanks for your kindness and generosity.
Jan & Chris. October 2022
Our 2nd stay at Westport Farm, this time in the wonderful Gander Cottage, our every need catered for. The lovely cottage is absolutely spotless. Wonderful to sit out eating our breakfast in the mornings, watching the wildlife; and drinking a glass of wine in the evenings watching the chickens running around. Explored the wonderful countryside. So enjoyed the beaches at Beer, Lyme Regis and Charmouth, not to mention our annual visit to the donkey sanctuary!
A wonderful peaceful week made extra special by the generosity of our lovely hosts Alexandra, Andrew & Merlin. Thanking you also for the lovely afternoon tea. What a lovely time we all had sitting in the sun as a lovely group, chatting the afternoon away. Much love.
June and Dorian. June 2023
We enjoyed meeting you all and the animals who live here in the peaceful countryside. Bruce made friends with Binky and wants to come back to see him.
Everything was tasteful and the cottage was very comfortable for a relaxing stay. We felt like characters from a Jane Austen novel! Thank you for your hospitality and warm welcome.
John, Margaret and Bruce the Labrador. July 2023
We were lucky enough to be able to return to the cottages for the fourth time in the past 12 months. During this visit we were able to enjoy watdching the progress of the three baby ducks rescued from the canal which have grown rapidly and are now being prepared for their life on the canal. Already looking forward to returning in 2023!
Steve & Lisa. September/October 2022
Absolutely fabulous week. Perfect hosts. Perfect accommodation in perfect surroundings. Thank you so much. We will return.
Paul & Julie. September/October 2022
A very warm reception on arrival. A very relaxing, pleasant stay. We are made very welcome. Our hosts are very helpful and nothing seems to be too much trouble if assistance of any kind needed. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we will be back next year.
Gordon & Mary. September 2022
Thanks so much for welcoming us back! (So this is where we were when the Queen died - you always remember.) Not always the perfect cricket weather we wanted for Paul's 71st birthday week but Westport Farm Cottages are always a great place to be. Love to you all. x
Paul & Alison. September 2022
Great stay. Found the accommodation ideal for access with a wheelchair. Found numerous mobility scooter friendly walks within hour's drive from property, including: Dillington House, Great Wood Exmoor, Bridgewater Canal, Barrington to name but a few. Also good shop at Clarkes Village & great mountain bike ride fromhouse towards Langport following rRiver Parrot. Lovely caring and thoughtful hosts to make the stay top notch. Thank you.
Richard & Jackie + Shadow & Misha. August 2022
We have had the most fantastic stay at Gander Cottage. Our hosts Andrew, Alexandra, Merlin, Mungo and the sheep (in particular 'Babe') could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. The cottage is a home from home! We have loved sampling the delicious eggs, juice, jam and cider from the farm and we are taking a supply back to Nottingham with us. This is a peaceful and beautiful place to stay, and a great base to explore all that Somerset has to offer. We hope to visit again soon! xxxxx
Emma & Matthew. August 2022
We just love this place, returning for our third visit in less than a year. For one of our weeks we had family members joining us in Hare and Gander Cottages which was great fun. Alexandra, Andrew and Merlin are so kind and nothing is too much trouble for them to ensure you have the perfect relaxing holiday. The sheep and hens provided much entertainment which kept us amused as we lounged in the very sunny weather. Locally, Barrington village had a scarecrow competition with over forty scarecrows dotted around the village - that was great fun. we have already planned to return in the future!
Steve & Lisa. July/August 2022
Firstly, can I say in the midst of all that is chaotic, this is a peautiful place in a stunning location. From the first day our hosts have been great. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and nothing would have been too much trouble. We have really been able to relax and unwind with ease. The personal touch was an added bonus. We enjoyed our chat with Andrew's mum.
Karen & Paul (+ Dave the dog!). July 2022
Couldn't find a nicer location of kinder hosts.We enjoyed our stay and will be sure to re-visit.
Mike & Janet. July 2022
Thank you Andrew so much. What a lovely cottage in a fabulous location. Somerset is always a county you drive through en route to Devon and Cornwall - not any more. So much to see and do, and this is the perfect base. All the goodies so much appreciated. We have had a wonderful week, helped by the weather of course. Seaton Tramway, Beer, Donkey Sanctuary, Lyme Regis, Barrington Court and Montecute House, all so worth a visit. We will return as we have loved it all. Thank you again for everything.
June & Dorian. June 2022
Wow, what a wonderful cottage, lovely views from both front and back. The cottage is so well equipped especially so for anybody who uses a wheelchair.
Lovely welcome from lovely hosts who couldn't do more to help make this a very memorable holiday.
Well located for days out to South coast resorts etc.
Kevin & Beryl. June 2022
Our stay has been as wonderful as last time. This time we had the added attraction of frolicking lambs that have provided endless entertainment with their antics. We love this place so much we are coming backin August & September/October for further holidays.Many thanks to Alexandra, Andrew and Merlin for everything.
Steve & Lisa. April/May 2022
This lovely location was just what we needed: quiet, stunning, and perfection. Three sweet little cottages in a row, Hare, Cockerel and Gander. We booked Gander for the week and even though the weather wasn’t great we were made to feel very welcome. Alaxandra and her son Andrew were the best of hosts. We were met by Andrew in the car park and he took all our bags in his trailer to the front door of Gander cottage. We had a lovely welcome pack awaiting us and which meant a shopping trip was not necessary for the first day. We had everything we needed and couldn’t want for more.
Pamela & Raymond. October 2021
Although only looking for a base to attend a family wedding, we have found a gem of a place to stay. The hosts, accommodation, facilities and setting are truly first class, a five-star rating for sure.
David & Angela (+ Pepper, Sheltie). October 2021
What can we say?: Beautiful setting, great company (dog, sheep and hens). Fabulous welcome. Nothing too much trouble. Thank you.
Pam & Ray. October 2021
We were so lucky to find the cottages online and have just enjoyed a wonderful week. The owners will do everything possible to ensure your stay here is perfect - including meeting us in pouring rain and taking our luggage into the cottage! Such a beautiful outlook from both front and rear - we just loved watching "the girls" in their wonderful enclosure. Particular highlights:
Andrew was kind enough to invite us to an apple pressing where he showed us the process from apple to juice; we even got the opportunity to taste the fresh juice.
Another memorable invitation was to meet Poppy Pandora, the family's pet micro pig. Another unforgettable experience.
We shall return!
Steve & Lisa. October 2021
A lovely holiday in a peaceful location.We enjoyed visits to Stourhead Gardens, Dunster and the Willow Centre. Lovely walk along the river starting at Langport. Thank you for the welcome pack + your warm welcome.
Bob & Penny. September 2021
Beautiful cottage and views. So enjoyed my stay, and felt to welcome. The girls produce delicious eggs!! Thank you.
Julia. September 2021
A generous welcome, delightful cottage, good weather. Lots of fun catching up with friends. Visited Street, Glastonbury, Cheddar Gorge and Wells. Barrington Boar - excellent meal.
Belinda & Ivor. September 2021
So lovely to come back to a lovely peaceful setting and county. A very warm and welcome greeting from Andrew. We will be back (Can't not!) Thank you to "the girls" for their lovely eggs.
John & Margaret. September 2021
Thanks once again to our wonderful Reid family, we love you all so much. Each holiday spent with you all is great, nothing too much trouble to please us. Love to Poppy and our best mate Mungo. We will miss you all so much. Roll on September for our 9th visit to our second home. All our love to you all. xxxx
Margaret & David. July 2021
A warm welcome from Andrew and Mungo. Delightful Cottage. Couldn't ask for anything better. Beautiful surroundings. Alexandra is delightful, and Andrew - he isn't too bad ha ha. Had a great holiday.
Joy & Tony. July 2021
What a lovely week, especially as weather better than expected. Thank you for your welcome and "the goodies". We loved watching and talking to "the girls". That view is amazing and have seen lots of bird life this time; and of course the roses are amazing.
Carol Anne & Roger. June 2021
Another super week at Westport Farm. Our hosts looked after us as usual when we arrived, so helpful and kind but were never intrusive during the week. Of course we loved the chickens (they talked to us I'm sure), the sheep were in the field calling to each other and its so relaxing to wake up to the "sounds of the country". We visited both coasts while there and this time the Haynes Motor Museum which I would recommend. Cockerel Cottage was as cosy as ever and the cider, apple juice, jam and chutney (all homemade) were very welcome.
Annie & Laurie. June 2021
Great hosts. Great apple juice and cider. What a wonderful place to stay and rest or to explore the hamlets and villages all around. Thank you. We shall be back.
Sharon & Andy. May 2021
If you have to be between homes, this is the perfect place to be. A wonderful family. Many thanks.
Dave & Isabel. February 2021
A gem of a find. Lovely spot with great hospitality from very friendly hosts. See you again at Xmas.
John & Marian. October 2020
Its been so good to get away for a week and be in this peaceful spot. Thank you for making us so welcome and comfortable.
Cliff & Pauline. September 2020
Such a super week, despite getting drenched one day and being nearly blown off Branscombe Cliffs! The cottage was just what we needed, with a view from one window and "the girls" out of the other. Thank you so much for being so welcoming. The raspberry jam was the best ever! We are hoping to return soon.
Anne & Roger. August 2020
What a wonderful family. So welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. We have really enjoyed our stay here. Hope to see you again soon.
Georgina & Richard. September 2019
Thankyou for a lovely week’s stay. The cottage is beautiful, in lovely grounds with wonderful hosts! The children had a lovely time playing and running barefoot and making new ‘dog friends’. Our dog loved mooching in the sunshine and we relaxed and recharged…perfect!
Mike, Cordelia, Mara, Owen & Lucy the dog. June 2019
Three beautiful cottages - perfect for a family get together. Very welcoming hosts who have equipped the cottages very well. Welcome pack included homemade jam, chutneys, cider, apple juice… Thank you for a great week. Also to Mungo and Alfie.
Terry, Tony, Holly, Cordelia, Michael, Mara, Owen, Antonia & Heidi. June 2019
This has been the nicest place we have ever stayed. We needed some “quiet rest” and this has been perfect. Robin and Alexandra have been extremely helpful and it was a pleasure to meet them both. Home produce was delicious, especially the cider and juice. Loved seeing Alfie each day and chatting with all the wildlife. We will make sure that we share our wonderful find with friends and family, and we will most definitely be staying again
Tina & Richard. May 2019
Beautiful cottage. Excellent scenic view. Lovely hosts who couldn’t do more. Thank you for accommodating Poppy and Puppy Bella.
Kevin & Tracey. May 2019
My mother and I had a wonderfully relaxing week in Hare Cottage. The views were to die for and the company of Alfie and Mungo was a reminder to us both of Mum’s dear dog Lucy. Also, the lambs and ewes provided us with plenty of entertainment! Nothing was too much trouble and the addition of a high backed chair was a God send. We loved all the home produce of eggs, apple juice, cider, jams and chutney. Thank you for a lovely time. We’ll tell everyone about your place!
Ruby & Mary. May 2019
What a wonderful find! Beautiful part of Somerset. Quiet, relaxing and superb hosts. Dogs enjoyed it as much as we did!
Debby, Chris & Bertie. April 2019
Gail. January 2019
A perfect base for our visit to check up on the family; comfortable, cosy and welcoming. Very many thanks. The touch of leaving dog treats for Daisylion was much appreciated!!
Janet & Simon Patterson and Daisylion. January 2019
We had the most wonderful time staying here. We arrived to the warmest welcome from Andrew and the family. The cottage was well stocked and extremely comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed feasting on our fresh eggs and bacon. We would highly recommend!!! : ) x : ) x : ) x
Emily, Mo & Rosie. Xmas 2018
What a wonderful cottage for a break, the facilities were fantastic.

Hope to be back again in the New Year! Many thanks for a relaxing time. x
Maria, Martella & Becca. October 2018
What a wonderful, relaxing mini-break we have had! Hare Cottage is absolutely delightful with all the amenities one could wish for. The 'Welcome Pack', the vase of flowers & the greeting by Robin, Mungo and Alfie made for a wonderful start to our break. The cottages are well situated for exploring the local, and perhaps not so local, area. We very much look forward to returning. Thank you. : )
Georgina, Robert & Hamish. October 2018
Thank you for your wonderful consideration with regards to wheelchair access. Very much appreciated. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kind regards, the Brook family.

Pat, Keith, Becca & Poppy. September 2018
We have really enjoyed our stay in Hare Cottage. The vase of flowers was a lovely surprise. Our 'home' for the week was sparklingly clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The peaceful setting was just what we needed. Being able to have dear Alfie for an afternoon sat outside making the most of the sunshine was a real joy. Robin, Alexandra and Andrew thank you for your kindness and making us feel so welcome. It was a pleasure to meet you all. We will be back! x
Spud, Stephanie & Candii. September 2018
A wonderful weeks holiday. Our hosts were wonderful and the cottage was everything it said it would be. My wife was able to enjoy it even though she is wheelchair bound. We will be back. Thank you very much.
Derek & Sue. September 2018
A beautiful cottage with everything you neeed. A peaceful place to relax and unwind. We have really enjoyed our time here.
Gill & Bryan. September 2018
Spent a very relaxing week here at this pleasant cottage. Ideal to sight see like Cheddar Gorge, Wells and Bath, plus some really nice walks nearby. Thank you and will be back again next year.
Martin, Jane & Colin. September 2018
Thank you for a lovely welcome to Robin. Enjoyed meeting Alexandra, Andrew and Merlin. Thank you for the apple juice / cider making demo. Very interesting. The cottage is very comfortable, and the welcome pack was lovely, much appreciated. The cottage is in a very good location, ideal for visiting places - some new to us, some old. Would love to stay again.
Mike, Sheila and Rachel. September 2018
A wonderful friendly welcome from our most helpful hosts. Lots of extra ‘goodies’ in our fridge and on worth. A lovely cottage in great surroundings made for a perfect break. It was a pleasure meeting you all. Thank you so much.
Sylvia and Arthur. September 2018
Fantastic! We have had the most comfortable, relaxing week ever. Everything has been perfect. Thanks to everyone.

Nicky, Shaun, Nick & Tim + Charlie. August 2018
Perfect weather and location. We've had a lovely week here.
Janet, Graham & Tilly. July 2018
We have just returned from a very enjoyable holiday in Gander Cottage. Westport Farm is situated in a beautiful and peaceful part of the country with plenty of interesting places to visit. We particularly liked the lovely walks directly from the farm without needing to walk on the road. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and it was a pleasure to watch the chickens roosting from the rear patio.
Jan and Graham. July 2018
Perfect in all respects. We have loved every moment of this stunning location and the warm greeting we received on arrival. Thank you so very much.Loved watching those lovely chickens in their freedom. Love to Alfie and Mungo for their friendship - Evie and Muffy were delighted to make friends.
Maureen, Douglas, Evie & Muffy. June 2018
Our third visit. We keep coming back, which means it must be special here. Our thanks once again to everybody for another great holiday. Hope to see you again soon!
Sylvia & John. June 2018
We have all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hare Cottage. Thank you for this wonderful experience. The cottage is delightful and our children were able to experience so much. We loved the animals, especially Poppy, Alfie, Mungo and all the chickens! We will miss seeing the sheep in this beautiful setting. Andrew, Robin and family have been amazing and so very welcoming! Thank you for the children's lolly holders! We were able to see the sheep being sheared, collect eggs from the chickens and see the baby chicks! We hope to see you again in the future!!
Colleen, Simon, Alfie & Isla. June 2018
Thank you for a warm welcome. We have spent a lovely eek here. A week is just not long enough, especially for teaching Mungo to bring that ball back!
Gillian & Didier. June 2018
We had a warm welcome and a cottage with everything we could ask for and more! We have loved seeing and hearing the chickens and sheep :) Mungo & Alfie were very helpful too and we have loved seeing them and stroking them, Thank you for a wonderful stay. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves :)
Steven, Nicola & Jacqueline. June 2018
Having stayed in these lovely cottages last week I wanted to recommend them to anyone wanting a relaxing place to stay. The cottage was ideal for 2 of us and had all the amenities possible, including lovely garden area and patio. The former overlooking the owners' free range chickens, providing fresh eggs for guests and the front patio with views over their farmland and orchard. Wonderful cider and apple juice produced there too.
The small but perfectly formed cottages are ideal for people with disabilities too. Level access, wide doorways and wet rooms to mention but a few.
The owners are very welcoming and helpful. Full of local and countywide information, plus no request seemed to be too much trouble.
The two family dogs, Alfie and Mungo, were extremely welcoming too, so I'm sure other visiting doggie friends would be made to feel at home too.
Lots of nearby places to eat and visit and, for those interested in natural history, various reserves on the Avalon Marshes.
All in all a fantastic holiday venue. We'll certainly be returning.
Val & Dave. June 2018
There are not enough words to say all the thank you's for a really wonderful holiday with Alexandra, Robin, Andrew, Mungo and my special mate Alfie - he has made our holiday. Everything is just as it says it is on the website. Home from Home. So good we will be back in September. Thank you once again for welcoming us into you family, we came as strangers and left as friends. xx
Margaret & David. May 2018
Lovely Cottage. Well appointed. Robin was so friendly and helpful, Mungo and Alfie too. Loved the sheep and chickens - beautiful eggs. Thankyou.
Andy & Debbie. May 2018
Superb Accommodation. Lovely cottage, lovely people. Everyone was extremely helpful and accommodating.
Barrington Court was a lovely day out. Burrow Hill Cider Brandy Distillery not to be missed. hic! hic!
Eric, Libby & Gabby, May 2018
Came for a short break to visit family nearby. Nothing was too much trouble for the delightful hosts Robin and Alexandra. A cosy and well equipped cottage with quality linens, a lovely welcome pack of goodies and a beautiful and relaxed setting. My dogs Rugby and Smurf had a tremendous time playing in the grounds with their new friends Mungo and Alfie and like me, did not want to come home!
Nicola. May 2018
