Marjorie September 2024

“Pear Tree Cottage is set in a very peaceful relaxing location attached to the owners property.”

Sue (owner/host) was there to greet us as we arrived and took us around the property and told us how everything worked. The cottage is very spacious, particularly for 2 people, and had everything there we wanted. It was interesting to read how it was created. The garden is lovely but the weather was against us and didn't get a chance to sit out in it. A lovely car port to park the car and wide spacious drive for manoeuvring. Location is great for all places of interest. Forgot to mention the cream tea that Sue greeted us with! thank you Sue, it was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend this property, particularly for those that like peace and quiet.

- Marjorie, September 2024

Thank-you so much for your positive feedback! it is much appreciated ! kind regards Sue. Property Owner

Callum October 2022

“Absolutely lovely property, really clean and tidy and exactly as pictured.”

Easy to check in and out of and hosts were really friendly. We had a really relaxing, comfortable stay. It was so restorative and just what we needed! Just some useful info for future guests, hand soap wasn't provided so bring your own. Only one toilet roll so if you think you'll use more in your week stay bring your own. They provide some logs and kindling in the starter pack but no matches. The WiFi is only 1-2mbs so you may have trouble if you were planning on doing a bit of work while you're away.

- Callum, October 2022

“The cottage was ideally placed for our favourite pursuits of walking and bird watching.”

It was warm and comfortable, and the Pack Horse in Mark provided great meals and a friendly, safe environment. Also, the local shop provided plenty of ingredients for cooking in the lovely open plan kitchen/lounge, and we had a relaxing week enjoying the scenery. One of the best cottages we have stayed in.

- Rodney, October 2020

“This is the fourth Sykes cottage we have stayed in and it was the best!”

The owners are lovely people and it makes a world of difference them living on site. A real treat to be surrounded by flowers and lawns. Great to sit under the parasol. Very well furnished and equipped cottage. The owner told us that she furnished it to the same standard as her home. The location is lovely - in the middle of nowhere but only eight minutes to the motorway. Excellent wifi. Our dog loved it. All in all a lovely holiday in a very comfortable cottage. Would we return? YES!!!!

- Roger, June 2019

Christine December 2018

“Pear Tree cottage was gorgeous and exceeded our expectations.”

The owner was really helpful and even offered to pick up some groceries as our car had broken down! There had been a lot of effort to make the cottage look festive with tasteful decorations as indeed was the tasteful decor. All needs were catered for in the fully equipped kitchen. It was warm cosy, the beds were really comfy and I can't fault anything! It is a great base from which to explore Somerset and blissfully quiet! We will definitely be back!

- Christine, December 2018
Susan December 2018

“The owner could not have been more welcoming.”

It had been raining all day but there she was and the log burner was roaring away making up for a very miserable journey. Cottage was well laid out and we could not have asked for anything more. So forget the time of the year and the weather it could not have been better.

- Susan, December 2018

Sue May 2018

“Really nice cottage with everything you could need in it.”

Lovely garden . . Lovely owners. Nothing was any trouble to them (but they were not intrusive) and by the end of the week we felt that we had known them for ages. The area was peaceful, people were friendly. Village only one mile. We were lucky to have a couple of really hot days so it was nice to sit outside the cottage under the umbrella for a few hours. The small caravan field is no problem, in fact we took our dog for a run up there every morning and evening. We met some really nice caravan owners to chat to. Burnham on Sea is only 10 minutes away by car. No dogs on the beach but Apex Park (free to park) at the far end is great for dog walking. Takes about 40 minutes to walk around the lake and then plenty of picnic benches and seats. A catering van plus ice cream van are in the car park. All in all a lovely place to spend a couple of hours or more with or without a dog and less than 10 minutes from cottage. We also loved Wells only 13 miles away. And Clark’s Village, Street for shopping. Weston Super Mare is only 15 minutes away. We would highly recommend Pear Tree Cottage.

- Sue, May 2018
Sue April 2018

“We arrived on a Friday afternoon to be met by Sue the owner, she was very Pleasant & welcomed us warmly.”

She had even bought us a special cake. The cottage was beautiful & very homely. She took us on a tour of cottage & was very helpful answering any Questions. The cottage was very clean & had all necessities we could want, even a lovely log burner, with a starter pack. Fresh flowers. We really enjoyed our stay at Pear Tree Cottage & would recommend it to any one, who would like a peaceful quality cottage to stay in.

“A very comfortable and warm cottage.”

We lit the wood burner once, but it wasn't really needed. Sue was kind and helpful providing home made cakes and fresh flowers on our arrival. The local pubs were excellent for meals. From the noise of our town, we appreciated the quiet of the countryside.

Frank September 2016

“Pear Tree Cottage is an ideal centre within easy reach of Wells, Glastonbury, Burnham-on-Sea and other mid-Somerset locations.”

The cottage was very well cared for and the owner very friendly and helpful. This cottage is on the Somerset levels and there is a field "drain" running alongside the garden making the cottage not suitable for small children unless well supervised. This is stated in the details of the cottage. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and are hoping to return next year.

The property

Mark 1 mile.

A delightful barn conversion, attached to the owner's home, close to the village of Mark, five miles from the seaside resort of Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset.

Set in a tranquil, rural position, this superb property is in an ideal location for friends or family to enjoy walking, cycling or birdwatching in the Somerset countryside.

Tastefully furnished and beautifully appointed throughout, the cottage has a spacious open plan beamed living area with comfy sofas overlooking the garden to the fields beyond.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining area are perfect for enjoying a home-cooked meal, if you prefer not to sample the tasty local fare in the village pubs.

Step through from the living area to the rear of the cottage, where you will find two beamed bedrooms and the bathroom and utility rooms.

The main bedroom has a comfy king-size bed and a wall-mounted TV, while the second bedroom has two snug single beds.

On warm afternoons you can relax on the flower-filled patio and enjoy a drink, whilst looking out over the lawned gardens.

Stroll down to the front gate, and you may see swans nesting on the stream, which flows alongside the lane.

As well as being ideally placed to explore the Somerset countryside, this lovely cottage is perfectly located for the many attractions nearby such as Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Wells Cathedral and the sandy beaches at Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea.

The festival at Glastonbury and the winter carnivals at Bridgwater, together with the surrounding towns and villages, are all reasons to stay.

If you need some retail therapy, then the vibrant cities of Bristol and Bath are both an easy drive.

A charming cottage for a memorable holiday at any time of the year.

MARK

Burnham-on-Sea 5 miles; Glastonbury 11 miles.

The pretty village of Mark is situated in the heart of the beautiful Somerset Levels, and is criss-crossed by long watery rhynes, which drain the wetlands for pasture, aiding the production of fine Somerset cheese. The village boasts an ancient church, built in honour of St Mark, as well as excellent walking and cycle paths, and a variety of rare species of birds, making it a haven for twitchers! Situated at the mouth of the River Parrett and Bridgewater Bay, the popular seaside resort of Burnham-on-Sea is just 4 miles away. With views across to distant Wales, and 7 miles of sandy beaches and dunes, the town also boasts Britain's shortest pier and some of the most distinctive lighthouses around, as well as the marble carvings of Sir Christopher Wren in its parish church. The Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Weston-super-Mare, ancient Glastonbury and the cathedral city of Wells are all within easy driving distance. A fantastic location for a varied holiday at any time of the year.
