Otters Holt

We had a fantastic time at Otters Holt. The owners Fiona and Alby were so friendly and helpful and even provided a hamper full of their own produce and home cooked food to welcome us there. The accommodation was clean and had been kitted out with all new appliances but still had a traditional wood burner (just watch your head on the low beams). The Martlet Inn and The Pump House Restaurant were both nearby and both 5*. Otters Holt was perfectly situated for our exploration of Somerset. Shame we were only there for a week.

Excellent hosts with good local knowledge. Cottage excellent in good location ideal for beaches and national parks. Loved the welcome hamper Need to book recommended restaurants before or soon as you arrive . No problems with our two dogs.

The hosts were great hosts. The hamper on arrival was fabulous, the bread was amazing. Brilliant location and lovely cottage. The local pub is a must for food. A wonderful few days away.

Otters Holt is full of charm and character and the hosts couldn’t be more accommodating. We were provided with clear arrival instructions, and were offered an introductory tour, any time we saw the hosts they were friendly and ready to help. The decor is beautiful, the accommodation is very well equipped and clean and there are excellent recommendations for pet friendly walks and eateries. We received some welcome treats which were delicious and very much appreciated. Somerset is large and there are many places to visit, we only had a few days but found where we wanted to go with ease and on our quiet days we were very comfortable staying in. A beautiful, pet friendly, well equipped, warm and friendly accommodation to stay for your break in Somerset, couldn’t recommend more.

We had a fantastic stay at Otters Holt, we took a bit of a risk as we were the first guests and no previous reviews available. Fantastic warm welcome from Fiona, Alby and Dougie the Dog. A breakfast hamper was provided on arrival with all home baked/produced food comprising of their apple juice, lemon drizzle, sourdough with pot of Jam and 6 of their chicken's eggs. The 2 bedroom flat/annex with solid wooden beams was a perfect blend of rustic and modern and decorated/fitted out to a very high standard. Easy walk to the very friendly local (The Martlet Inn) for good beer and food, visited a couple of times for sunday lunch and an evening meal, very good indeed. Lots of walking if you want it from the front door through farmland and nature reserve. The wonderful Exmoor National Park is an easy drive for beautiful heathland and hills, villages you'd love to retire to, seaside and much more. Quantock Hills are a similar distance away with walks as challenging (or not) as you need them to be. North and south coast within easy reach for both Somerset and Devon. I really cannot recommend Otters Holt enough, especially if you have a four legged friend. We will definitely be back! Ten out of Ten!
