The Old Police House

We had a lovely stay at The Old Police House and felt at home from the moment we arrived. Lyn is such a warm, welcoming and cheerful host, and the thoughtful touches made our stay feel really special. Homemade chocolates and chocolate almond cake were a delightful welcome, along with milk waiting in the fridge for that much-needed first cup of tea! The accommodation is spotlessly clean, bright, airy and comfortable, furnished with great taste and a real eye for quality. Everything has been thoughtfully considered, from the mugs, glasses (and the all important corkscrew!) to the wonderfully plush bath towels. There’s also a lovely selection of books to browse and enjoy. Breakfast deserves a special mention: a delicious selection of local produce, beautifully presented and expertly cooked. It was a real treat and a wonderful start to the day. The location is ideal, too. Cheddar Gorge is just an easy ten-minute walk away, yet the cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful and tranquil setting. There are lovely walks nearby, with pubs, restaurants and takeaways all easily accessible. It’s the combination of Lyn’s hospitality, the beautiful accommodation and all those thoughtful little extras that makes this place so special. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Old Policeman’s Cottage and would love to return. A real gem in Cheddar!

The room had everything you needed for a short stay. The host was exceptionally nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Nothing to dislike.

The Old Police House, had a very warm welcome from Lyn, she showed us to the annex (the cell) we were pleasantly surprised, very clean & just what you need, parking right outside, kitchen area, microwave, extra glasses, mugs, plates etc if you were to cook there, an induction hob, fridge, sink, dining table & chairs for two, bed, somewhere to hang your clothes, bathroom, decent size shower, tea, coffee, sugar (we asked for decaffeinated & Lyn kindly accommodated us) oat milk in the fridge, homemade brownies & petit fours on arrival, which was a very nice touch & just what we needed after a long journey. We were asked if we would like a breakfast bap all locally sourced in the morning, my husband said yes, I didn't so Lyn offered me an alternative of homemade granola, homegrown stewed apples, fresh strawberries that got my tastebuds going, apple juice, pot of decafe tea for Richard, and decafe coffee for me, to be brought to us at a time to suite us. Lynn showed us a folder she had put together for guests, which was very informative, what there was to do around in & around Cheddar, places to eat for lunch & dinner, attractions, very well put together. We were shown how the heater worked as it was getting chilly at night, a contact number if we needed her which was a comfort to know, Lyn couldn't have been more helpful, made us feel so welcome. We unpacked & had a cuppa & ate the cake, it was so nice, what a lovely touch. Breakfast was brought at 8.30am by Lyn, Richard's breakfast bap he said was really nice, quality produce, my granola was delicious, I didn't need milk on it as the apples made it moist. We came & went as we pleased, there was an outside light for when we came back.

There was nothing to not like

The whole stay was wonderful as it was close to the centre of Cheddar and the host was exceptional, really helpful, polite and nothing was too much trouble, not overlooking the really first class breakfasts, it was just a real pleasure to stay and there is no doubt my wife and I will return for a further stay.
