About this property

Charming 17th Century Cottage In Croscombe, Somerset

Situated in the heart of the ancient village of Croscombe Millview is just 100m from the village pub; no drink driving here.

The entrance hall to Millview with its beautiful old flagstones worn to a polish by generations of boots and shoes has a stone archway leading into the earlier section of the house dating from the very earliest years of the 17th century. Here, the stairs lead up to the first floor.
Sitting Room

The sitting room beyond has a welcoming log burning stove set into a huge inglenook fireplace. This fireplace houses a seven foot deep bread oven although now the door has been replaced by a beautiful stained glass window made by the owner showing the nearby Glastonbury Tor. Again, the floor is of ancient flagstones but here for comfort covered in part by a carpet. The sitting room is complete with digital LCD TV with DVD Player and comfortable seating for up to 6 people.

Dining Room
The adjacent dining room has a large table, easily seating 6 people. In this room there is an original glass fronted cupboard built into the wall, and a fireplace with a dressed stone surround. Under the window is a wooden chest with an assortment of board games.

Kitchen
The galley style kitchen is beautifully fitted with a full range of appliances, and is fully equipped to provide for up to 6 people. Leading from the kitchen is a small utility area with a washing machine, fridge freezer and a microwave.
Upstairs
There are two bedrooms on the first floor, one with a double bed and the other with a double and a single bed, both bedrooms have polished wood floors with rugs. The larger of these two bedrooms has an ornate cast iron fireplace set into the corner of the wall.
PLEASE NOTE We do not live locally so are unable to provide bed linen or towels,
duvets and pillows are of course supplied.

Bedroom 1 Bedroom 2

The bathroom is also on the first floor, and has a free standing roll top bath, shower cubicle and toilet.

Although the ceilings are high the doorways are not, you have been warned!

Garden
The pretty garden at the rear of the house is tranquil with only the chatter of jackdaws that congregate around the nearby church to intrude on the peace. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with flower beds and mature shrubs.

There is a gas powered BBQ and loungers provided together with a table, umbrella and chairs for al fresco dining.

Beautiful cottage with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, felt really homely and made our stay really relaxing. Really lovely area with lots to do, we only had a few days but would like to go back and explore more. The garden is an added bonus and our daughter enjoyed the space. Just wish we had had longer. Listing was really accurate and it was as good as it looked if not better.

A family visit

Perfect for our needs, a short walk to the village pub too. If you are up for a walk you can walk to Wells cross country using the public footpath. It is close to public transport for trips into Wells, Shepton Mallet or to Bath.

Nice cottage in an authentic village

A very cute garden, an authentic cosy cottage in a lovely village. We stayed for 7 days in the house with 3 children. Very nice location for visiting Somerset. And very good communication with Peter, our host. But mind yours heads as the doors are very low...

5 day short stay in Somerset

Great! We had a lovely few days in this charming and very characterful cottage. Excellent communication with the hosts and easy access to the cottage. Lovely local pub with good food and friendly staff. Croscombe is a beautiful village ideally located for visiting Wells and Bath and we also managed a visit to Avebury. We would certainly recommend Meadowview.

Nice days in Somerset

Peter and Jeanne have a wonderful small cottage in Croscombe. We (family of five) very much enjoyed the stay. The cottage is fully equipped and has a very nice garden. Many thanks Peter for the uncomplicated way of getting in and also for the very attentive support during our stay! Kind regards, Jörg

Wonderful experience

Lovely cosy cottage, nice garden with herbs and flowers, second toilet in the garden shed. We had everything we needed there, kitchen is well-equipped as is the rest of the house. Beds are quite soft, but it's a question of personal preferences. Space for the car is rare but we knew before. Awesome: Peter has sent the key in advance, so check-in was very easy. Thank you!

Late summer in Somerset

MillView is a stone cottage on the main road between Wells and Shepton Mallet, in the attractive village of Croscombe. It is a great location to explore Somerset. The cottage is a very good size for a group of up to four visitors. The master bedroom is large, and being at the back of the property it is very quiet. Those of average or greater height will have to duck to go through the doorway to this bedroom. Also, there are a couple of small steps between rooms, as is typical of ancient cottages, so take not to trip! We had a lovely week of extended summer at MillView, and would recommend the property to others.

Beautiful cottage set in Somerset countryside. The rooms were larger than expected making our stay even more comfortable. It is only a 10 minute drive to Wookey Hole which is a great family day out. Cheddar Gore and Bath are also nearby. I would recommend the cottage to others and the host was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village. The cottage was cosy, interesting and just a nice place to relax. The cottage has everything you need to get comfy, including well a provisioned kitchen. WiFi is excellent and smart tv also.Access to property was easy and there are places to park your car nearby. The host Peter was available on email and very accommodating to us, as we requested an additional night stay.You won’t be disappointed with your stay, unfortunately due to the kids, the very welcoming looking pub nearby wasn’t an option for us but maybe next time.Thanks again PeterMatt and Hanna

We (two adults two kids aged 13 and 19y) have very much loved to stay at this pleasant place - an exceptional house and beautiful starting point for day trips to Bath, Glastonbury and Wells of course. The local pub is also very much to be recommended. The house itself is marvellous of course. We also enjoyed TV, collection of games and the small but complete kitchen. Very kind and responsive hosts also. If you're going to go there, start looking forward!

A great base for exploring the area

We loved our stay. It’s surprisingly roomy and although the kitchen is compact, it’s laid out well and it’s got everything you need. Comfortable beds. It’s full of character and quite quirky but very homely. The fabulous George pub is a minutes walk away. Recommend the steak and ale pie!

Location was a good central location for sightseeing/major attractions. Owner excuse for not providing bedding is NO excuse for not doing so. Having to take such and make up and strip beds is not something relished when on vacation. Bed mattress's ok but would benefit from Lux hotel quality upgrade. Property is well maintained and has nice artifacts. Kitchen is well equipped from a vacation standpoint. Taking own bathroom supplies, i.e. everything, is a downer. Please accept these remarks as constructive criticism to gain future 'excellent ratings'

Second stay at Millview

Second stay at this gorgeous spacious house. Aladdins cave of delights, you can’t get bored even if the weather is bad, so many books, table tennis, beautiful peaceful garden. Feel very at peace in this cottage. Check in super easy, parking fine usually a space on the hill just outside or at the top of the hill always plenty of space. All modern amenities, Beds super comfy. Loads to do locally, Wells is lovely (vicars close/cathedral/bishops palace) Glastonbury (Tor/town for lots of fun shopping) Cheddar Gorge, Wookey caves etc…No complaints Thankyou for another lovely break in this little haven from the modern world
