The Outlook Reviews

Claire

Lovely cottage is a perfect location.

Just come back from a lovely family Christmas break. The property was spacious for 6 of us, all the bedrooms were a great size, the kitchen however was tiny, so trying to cook Christmas dinner for 6 was a challenge, the ensuite in the downstairs bedroom was spacious and so was the other one. The hot tub was nice and relaxing and on a clear night was nice to see the stars. The views were lovely and walks on the Quantocks were beautiful, the area was nice and peaceful. Had an issue with the WiFi as it kept buffering, but we knew about this, so wasn't a problem from other reviews but didn't we didn't have any Internet one day, but Andy was onsite to sort it out for us. Would recommend.

Anthony

Spotless house, very well equipped and a great place to spend time with family. Would highly recommend

We had a fantastic time at the outlook it clean and comfortable with all the amenities you need for a base to explore summerset secure garden was ideal for keeping our dog safe and the hot tub was a luxurious bonus The only minus points we felt that the WiFi needs attention and the outlook could do with updating in the dcor But apart from them small points we had a great break away and relaxed holiday

Our third stay at the Outlook and we had another wonderful holiday. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and spacious. The Outlook is situated down a very quiet country lane with stunning views across to Exmoor and is perfect for a relaxing break, but there are plenty of places to visit just a short drive away. Sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day watching the sunset is heavenly. We will definitely be back again!

Christina

Lovely property, great location.

Joanne

Lovely property and location only down was the shower in the downstairs bedroom worst shower as impossible to regulate the temperature of the water.

Melinda

Great accommodation clean, comfortable and well equipped with wonderful far reaching views, especially from the hot tub. Set in a beautiful part of the world with lovely walks on your doorstep in lush countryside, several good pubs close by and the coast within easy reach. Highly recommended.

Timothy

Andy was on hand if you needed him and informed us of the area. Nothing was to much trouble. Excellent stay

Lovely area , few things wet room shower low on water pressure compared to other bathroom shower . Wifi ,when watching filmTV keeps dropping out

Everything was lovely. Only issue was with the wifi,it lept disconnecting and didn't work most of the time,but other than that, the house was perfect. Thank you Andy for the hospitality

Louise

We have just spent a lovely half term week at the Outlook. The location was very peaceful and idyllic with lots of options for walking. The accommodation itself is so spacious with lovely views and the owners have thought of and provided everything you need. We really enjoyed the hot tub private with great views over the fields. Would definitely recommend

Lovely accommodation, very quiet and comfortable. Could do with Black out curtains upstairs with the Xmas lights next do on all night ,like a disco in the bedroom gave us a few sleepless nights

The internet at this cottage was not acceptable. The system crashed every 1020 minutes and if I had work to do online would have been hopeless. The hot tub and robes were wonderful. The rooms were spacious . Only thing for long stay and large family would be a washer and dryer.

Excellent location and very quiet. Very friendly and helpful. A very relaxing and enjoyable break.

The Outlook was perfect! We came for my husbands 50th and it was perfect. The place was spotless clean, hot tub hot and the fact towels and bath robes were included was amazing. Also the tea and coffee was a god send as I forgot ours. The bedrooms were an amazing size too. Would definitely come back again. The views were amazing and my grandson loved watching the horses.

Adrian

Excellent break at The Outlook, warm and friendly onsite host. Clean, well organised and homely. Hot tub maintained daily and host Andy really good at recommending good places to eat, drink and explore. Thank you for a simple straight forward way to renting a holiday cottage, service has been excellent from start to end.

It was a lovely stay away and break that my family and I needed. The peace and quiet was fantastic and the views stunning! We all deeply enjoyed the hot tub and home cooked meals. While some may have wanted better Internet connection, we found it fun to spend quality time together playing games and watching films as a family to unwind in the evening. Plenty of things to do in the area and would recommend the Zootropica for visitors.

Shaunna

I came for my hen do with 4 others and we had the best time! Everything is clear and well explained, the beds are comfortable and the hot tub was perfect on arrival! And throughout! Beautiful views, and a fab little tea roomcafe literally 3 min walk away, and it's lovely! Could not recommend enough, thank you for a fab stay, I'd love to come back sometime!

Denise

This is our second stay at the Outlook and we were just as impressed as the first. The Outlook is well equipped and the Hot Tub is a welcome extra. It is well placed, especially for walks Quantock Hills & Exmoor National Park and WSR to Minehead we had a great time thank you.

Charley

We had the most amazing time for my sisters Hen Weekend! The house is the most beautiful secluded location with stunning views! The facilities at the property were excellent, I would absolutely recommend!

Matthew

The house was great for our two families, the location was beautiful and the views really made it! We are already looking at when we can come again

Russell

The property was very clean and tidy with everything that we needed. The accommodation was of a very high quality and well maintained, and the location was excellent, very quiet and relaxing

Rebecca

Lovely and comfortable property with very goodsized bedrooms we had 2 travel cots in one of them and still felt there was plenty of room. The stair gate at the bottom of the stairs was also very handy given that we had 2 toddlers in the party. Kitchen was wellequipped although on the small side. The hot tub was an excellent bonus feature of the stay. The listing states that there is a washing machine but there isn't one might have come in useful for several days away with 2 toddlers and a newborn. Did get told off by the owner when our parents dropped by to see their children and grandchildren and share a meal with us, which somewhat negatively impacted the stay.

Andrew

We stayed in the Outlook for a long weekend with some friends . It was well equipped with every thing we needed and plenty of room for the six of us. Great location and really close to Stogumber Station for a day out on the west Somerset railway. We had a great time.

We had a very peaceful comfortable stay with everything we needed. A washing machine would have been a bonus but we appreciate there was no space for one.and possibly a gate around the side of the property to keep our dog safe while we were in the hot tub which was wonderful We would definitely stay at the Outlook with its beautiful views again and would recommend it to others.

Fantastic place to stay we would gladly stay there again. The house was very comfortable with excellent facilities and supplied household materials were exceptional.

Rachel

.all as decried very comfortable accommodation clean and tidy. Great hot tub . A teapot would of been grate for 7 adults

Michael

Nice property with 3 large bedrooms, very quiet and peaceful location with lovely views. Good sized fenced garden area with hot tub, although dog could get out around back of property, fitting a small gate would solve that Overall it is great for a relaxing holiday. Not many walks directly from property re walking dog etc, but lots scenic areas only a short drive away. Pubs in Bicknoller and Crowcombe both do food and have nice gardens for sitting in the sun. Mason Arms at Williton does a lovely Sunday lunch.

Great location, beautiful views, very relaxing & comfortable. The place needs some little tweaks to make it perfect for us but overall we had a lovely time, thank you.

Elaine

Lovely property. Andy was very helpful and available if needed. Excellent cafe The Rocking Horse at the end of the lane. Great steam railway in the local village that we used several times to get to places rather than driving. The property itself was fantastic. We asked Andy if he could move the beds around to suit our requirements which he happily did before our arrival. Fantastic views. The hot tub, garden and bbq were a welcome addition. Only a couple of suggestions a better mirror in the ensuite bathroom, and a mirror in the downstairs bedroom would have been useful, as well as some shelving in the shower to put all your stuff on rather than putting it on the floor. I think there should also have been a hair dryer in the downstairs bedroom but that was missing. Minor gripe, there is a livery stables next to the property so quite a lot of coming and going, cars driving to and from, but on the upside it was lovely to be able to watch the horses in the field! All in all we had a wonderful, relaxing holiday, and I would highly recommend this property.

Very clean and spacious accommodation with comfortable beds and fantastic hot tub and garden. Amazing views and absolute heaven sitting in the hot tub in the evening watching the sunset. So peaceful, great for recharging your batteries, and also a perfect base from which to explore the Quantocks, Exmoor and the Somerset coast. Andy was a brilliant host and the little touches of cake and fresh flowers on arrival were really appreciated. Would highly recommend we will definitely be booking again!!

Wonderful place to stay. Very clean. A home made cake and milk on the fridge was a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome. Would thoroughly recommend.

Arthur

Lovely cottage in a quiet location ideally situated for walking on the Quantock Hills & visiting the coast very friendly host who helped out when I left the ignition on an drained the battery on my car he lent me a jump starting battery kit for the day after getting my car started so many thanks will definitely visit again when we holiday in Somerset.

Amazing views, peaceful and friendly host.

Claire

Fantastic views, friendly owner, walking distance for all ages to the steam railway and the wonderful rocking horse cafe open Fri Mon 115pm, the outdoor hot tub jacuzzi and the beautiful horses running around in the next field with the Brendon Hills Exmoor backdrop, the Outlook ticks pretty much every box. Carew Arms in Crowcombe also has a great beer garden and was doing an excellent greek food menu when we visited. House was clean and had everything we needed, decent showers, modern kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds towels and bathrobes, WiFi as well.
