We had a lovely stay in Deerleap at Lilycombe Farm. The pool was brilliant and the cinema room a big hit with our autistic son. The location was good and we enjoyed days out at Longleat Safari, Wookey Hole and the East Somerset Railway. Would recommend The Film Centre in Wells - very quaint cinema and also The Waldegrave Arms - homemade cheesecake to die for! Will definitely return in the future.

Our family of four had a lovely stay at Deerleap. Our children ages 7 and 9 fell in love with the animals on the property as well as the swimming pool. It was their favorite part of our trip to Europe! I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area!

We had a lovely time at Lilycombe Farm - the location is beautiful, tucked away in the countryside. The cottage was clean and tidy and comfortable, plus as a bonus we got a lovely hamper of local produce! The booking system for the pool is really excellent, and allows you to have sole use of the facility which is both unusual and fantastic. The location is handy for lots of local sites - Glastonbury Tor, Wells Cathedral and town, Shepton Mallet prison and lots more! We also took advantage of the pottery class recommended on the website which was great fun for a rainy morning. All in all, a lovely, relaxing stay.

We had a fabulous stay in Deerleap Cottage and couldn’t fault it in anyway. The surroundings are stunning and the cottage is cosy and beautifully furnished.
What a fantastic swimming pool! We enjoyed a swim everyday!!
There are beautiful walks all around the property and we walked to The Litton on Saturday across the fields which was lovely. We would highly recommend!!

Lovely cottage in a pretty location with lots to do nearby. We enjoyed using the excellent swimming pool especially being able to pre book private time for each cottage. The log burner made it very cosy as there was an autumn chill to the evenings during our stay.

We had an amazing stay at Lilycombe Farm during February half term. We stayed in Deerleap, the cottage and grounds are beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed. The welcome basket of local produce was a lovely touch. There is plenty to do in the local area, we visited Bath, Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton. We had planned to visit Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge which are a short drive away but the weather was so wet that unfortunately they had to close.Which gives us a great excuse to come back! The highlight of our week was the beautiful swimming pool, we swam twice a day and the pool was always the perfect temperature like a warm bath, great for our 5 year old! We had such a lovely week and will definitely be visiting again.

Deerleap cottage is in a rural location which is perfect for a quiet retreat from the daily hustle and bustle of school runs and work.
The beds were incredibly comfy, the walk-in shower in the master bedroom was luxurious and the log fire in the sitting room was cosy.
The swimming pool was easily booked and the water temperature was invitingly warm. The children had a great time splashing around.
The local attractions including caves, gorges and walks were easy to get to from the cottage. I’d really recommend a visit to Ebbor Gorge & a scramble up the rocks. The view at the top is breathtaking.

We wanted a 'haven' where we could be and to stop, to get away. We found that in Deerleap.

The property is modern, up-to-date and has all the amenities that you could want.
Thinking about COVID; clearly the owners have put in all that is needed to be done, and more. We felt safe and secure.

This was our 4th or 5th visit to Lilycombe.
For us, it truly is like home from home as it is so peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature.
The quality of the fixtures and fittings in the cottage and the efficiency and kindness of the hosts all add up to a uniquely positive experience.
The opportunity to have exclusive access to such a perfect swimming pool is the icing on an already excellent cake.

Despite being only 20 miles from home we had a wonderful week at Deerleap. The cottage was well fitted out and had everything we needed. Our young kids loved playing in the garden and especially splashing about in the fantastic pool! Great location for exploring the beautiful countryside with plenty to do nearby to keep us busy. Highly recommended

We had such a great,time here. The cottage was immaculate and had all the little extras we needed. The facilities were amazing, we watched jaws while swimming in the beautiful 15m poo one night!, ping pong private cinema, table football enough to keep the kids entertained. Really welcoming and helpful owners on site if needed but also not intrusive. Loads of information about things to do in the area and for those that like nature, toads, badgers, cows, cats and dogs! Perfect! I really hope we can fo back.

We were delighted when we arrived to discover that Deerleap and Jacks Barn were connected which gave plenty of space for the whole family to relax and have their own space as well as joining together around the enormous kitchen table in Jacks Barn and for a magical Christmas around the tree provided by our welcoming hosts.

We spent a week in Deerleap with our 3.5yr old son. Accommodation was finished to a high standard, very comfortable and we settled in immediately. Having our own garden area, including seating, gave a pleasantly private feel with a lovely view. We were greeted just after arrival and had everything explained to us, including the pool which is fabulous - even including floats and water wings for our son who immediately took to swimming for the fist time ever! We went on several enjoyable local walks - some of which were detailed for us in the welcome information - and even managed to see the named deer at one point! We took several trips to nearby towns (Bath and Wells are beautiful), and there is plenty to do in the area. The owners were very friendly and approachable and keen to ensure that we had everything we needed, which we did. Cannot recommend the place highly enough, and we are looking forward to returning soon with a larger family group.
