Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Wicked time at Wookey hole
Fantastic apartment in lovely location. Loads to do in the area and this makes a great base. Loads of lovely extras like fruit, chocolates, flowers and toys. Beautifully clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone

Good place to stay in Somerset
Lovely apartment in converted school house. Comfortable and well equipped. My little boy loved all the toys. It is good but a few things could make it exceptional: no tumble dryer is a bit tricky with kids and wet clothes. The drying rack is small and flimsy and the leg is broken. Needs a bigger, more robust drying rack. Pillows are well past their sell by date and very uncomfortable and duvet for main bedroom is not the quality it should be. 2 bathrooms but only 1 loo brush. No freezer isn't great when you have kids with you. A fridge with a freezer compartment would be better than no freezer at all. Needs a metal basket in the shower as there is no where to put your products in there. But overall good. A bit more attention to detail on these small things could make it exceptional. The housekeeper is a bit scary on the phone when you ring. She wants to know what number flat you are in and I had no idea. Make sure you park in the far no 3 space as there are 2 spaces marked no 3. The housekeeper was ok when you actually met her although moaned a bit about extra cleaning requirements because of covid but she had cleaned the flat to a very high standard. Overall a good place to stay in Somerset close to Wells. Superb food and service at the Wookey Hole Inn 5 mins walk.

Rude and unhelpful
Myself and two of my friends from Australia stayed at 3 School House in Wookey Hole for two nights. This was a trip down memory lane for us having been in Wookey Hole over 30 years ago. I'm writing this review for others to be aware and hopefully, just maybe, for the housekeeper - Janet - to think about how she comes across and what service actually means. So, I've collected my two chums from Heathrow at roughly 07:00 and we drive to Wookey Hole arriving at around 10:00. Row who's made the booking messages the housekeeper to see what time we can check-in. We've been told 14:00 but also that it might be possible to get in earlier. We were sent a text message to park in the space marked 3. And this is where it all starts to go wrong. I park in space number 3. Row can't get a signal due to patchy network, so I try calling (goes through to voicemail) then text the housekeeper Janet to let her know we've arrived, have parked where told and is it possible to get into the flat before 14:00? No comms so we go for a stroll through the village and briefly retire to the pub. Janet then calls Row at about midday virtually telling him off because she's had people messaging her (me) and we've parked in the wrong 3?! Don't you think if there's more than one parking space marked 3 it would be jolly smart to let anyone parking there know which 3 they should park in... The guys are shattered after their long-haul flight from Australia so they let her poor attitude slide. We've agreed to meet Janet at the flat at 2:30, we walk up so we're there at exactly 2:30. I move the car to the correct number 3 space and we ring the bell to hopefully now, finally, be let in. Nobody answers. Then we try the door and hey, it's open! Maybe Janet is inside and hasn't heard us. So we walk in and the door to the flat is also open. So it's now after 2:30 we have it booked, we walk in saying "hello" but nobody's there. We're looking around, it's now about 2:45 and Janet comes in through the front door with a "Oh! You've let yourselves in?!" Row says "Yes, it was open so we came in" he holds out his hand to introduce himself while saying "I'm Rowland" and Janet is already turning on her heels to leave the flat?! She storms out in a huff, Lord only knows why, leaving us with a weird and bitter reception. We haven't been able to ask her about the flat, the area, or anything. All because we parked in the wrong number 3, politely asked if it was possible to check-in a bit earlier, and sent her a couple of text messages. The flat was OK but the housekeeper's dreadful attitude ruined the experience.

Great stay
Our family stayed over the half term holiday and had a great time in the area. Contact with the owner and housekeeper was excellent. The property is well maintained and is well stocked with children’s toys which was a very welcome bonus. Parking was easy, with lots to do in the area

Lovely apartment in the heart of Somerset
We had a lovely 3 night stay in this school house apartment at the top of Wookey Hole. The apartment is very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. It was comfortable and had a lot of extras we had not expected (extra towels, hand wash, bits and bobs in the food cupboard, etc.), so made having to rush out for any extras a lot less necessary as some of the places we have previously stayed. I should also mention, I have EE as a provider and got super service in the apartment, but terrible once we were out and about. Husband has O2 and had no service in the apartment, but great elsewhere, so we were lucky :) It was central to everything we wanted to re-visit, having lived in the area 20 years ago. We really enjoyed our day trips around the local area, showing our youngest children where we used to live. And the best part is that it is right next to Wookey Hole Caves, a favourite of ours for many years. But gosh, has it changed! so much more to see and explore and definitely a visit to last the day. All in all, a top rate place to stay, and we would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to explore the Mendips.

Just as described
Great accommodation and wonderful location. Found everything just as expected. We were between house moves so the peaceful surroundings and countryside walks were perfect. The caretaker was very helpful and we would recommend.

Glastonbury Festival wk end.
Third year running we have stopped in this lovely apartment. It has everything you need and there is plenty of room for four guests. Nice quiet location and well looked after by Janet, the communication between her and Amanda has been first class. Won't be staying next year as there isn't a festival! Would 100% recommend staying here to anyone you won't be disappointed.

An excellent, spacious apartment with everything supplied for our comfort and very clean and quiet. We arrived much later than intended at 10.00 pm but were welcomed with kindness from Janet who was waiting for us with the keys. I wish we had had time to stay longer in Wookey Hole.

BRILLIANT BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
Easy to find location, very easy access. Beautiful apartment, very nice homely touches, the pint of milk, bottle of wine & cake, all very much appreciated. Beautifully decorated, have stayed in lots of private rentals but to date this is the best, everything at hand for a perfect stay. Bed linen/towels high quality and smelt lovely, clean and fresh.
