Our family of 4 including 2 children had a wonderful stay at the property which was super clean, comfortable (especially the beds) and had everything we could possibly need and more! The hosts who live next door were very friendly and communication was great, answering all our questions quickly and providing lots of local information. They left lots of lovely little extras such as milk, bread, butter and some treats too which were very much appreciated!The property is in a nice quiet location and convenient for exploring Somerset. We appreciated that around the property was secure with gates and an enclosed decking area, so letting the children out to play was safe. The use of the host's electric vehicle charger was also extremely useful for us as it saved us the hassle of finding an available charger elsewhere.overall we had a wonderful holiday here and certainly would not hesitate to return.

This beautiful little cottage was the perfect respite for our week of exploring the local area with our Son's. It was a short drive to the bustle of WSM and easy to get around to places like Cheddar Gorge and the Wookey hole. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The garden was a dream view and we really appreciated being able to sit in it of an evening, after a busy day out and about it was pure bliss to come home to.Paul and Jill were so very welcoming and kind and we really appreciated your thoughtful touches for our arrival and all your advice and help whenever we had questions during our stay. This was our first time using VRBO and I think it will be extremely hard to top this place. Thank you both (and Ernie too) so much for a beautiful and memorable trip.

We had a fantastic stay! Paul’s property is fresh and modern and beautifully maintained. Paul is an outstanding host, very responsive, welcoming, kind and helpful, especially in response to my questions re disability access. We loved how private the property location was and the beautiful view from the terrace! The beds are really comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We also appreciated arriving to bread, butter, milk and cake! This was a nice touch! We will definitely look to return if we find ourselves heading to the Mendips again!

A fantastic place to stay
There is nothing to fault. The property is modern, spotlessly clean and well furnished to a high standard, with excellent views. There are some very pleasant small details on arrival (a loaf of bread, cake, butter, milk, tea, coffee and a selection of biscuits and jams). Paul and Jill are delightful and amusing hosts, who went out of their way to make our stay memorable. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.

We have just had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Paul and he’s wife were very accommodating to all the needs that a guest or guests may need while staying. It is very spacious and so incredibly clean. It is beautifully decorated and very well presented with beautiful accessories. We all slept very comfortably. We would highly recommend for those who like to walk or even just to chill has the views are stunning, western has lots to offer!
You couldn't ask for a better host, the bungalow was of a very high quality.
Tea, coffee, milk, bread, sugar, jams and cheese was complimentary on arrival. Host even gave us a lift into Weston-super-Mare for our night out and then insisted on picking us up (very late in the evening), thank you for everything Paul. See you next year!

What can I say about the most amazing property to stay at new year. Catered for everything, even had a Xmas tree. Had fizzy wine, butter, biscuits, bread, jams. Even had a tour by the owner to where to sit on New Year’s Eve on the hillside over looking western. Shame it was only 2 days.

The property was spotless, felt like new and was beautifully furnished. The host had helpfully left milk, bread, butter and cakes which was lovely. He offered early check in and popped by to ensure everything was okay - also let us charge the car which was much appreciated. Would happily stay again!

A real gem of a property
We have throughly enjoyed our stay at Ember Cottage. It’s a real gem, beautiful inside and out, spotless and with lots of lovely homely touches. Jill & Paul were perfect hosts.
It’s in a perfect location for Weston-super-mare and Clevedon, an hour from Bath and Cheddar. It’s close to the M5 so a nice easy journey down and an ideal place to stop off for a few days if travelling further to Cornwall.
I would definitely recommend staying here and given a chance, I won’t hesitate to re-book.

Everything was 5*
We loved every moment of our stay here, from the friendly welcome from Paul and Jill to the little home comforts and warm cosy beds! The accommodation had everything we needed, and more, for a few days away. The kitchen was filled with everything needed to enable us to self-cater. However, there was plenty of lovely restaurants to enjoy close by, we would recommend a lovely meal down the road at The Old Inn! Beds were super comfy, the rooms were warm and cosy and everything was super clean.
Thank you Paul and Jill for your hospitality, local knowledge and
