Initial comments

 * "in the English County of Somerset" - county doesn't need to be capitalised
 * Changed to lower case.&mdash; Rod talk 19:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * "The site is owned and managed by the National Trust" - I'd recommend rewording this sentence so it begins with Notified in 1953, the site is now owned and managed by the National Trust? Removing the "notified" bit after "in the English county of Somerset" would improve prose flow
 * Changed as per your suggestion.&mdash; Rod talk 19:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * The lead slightly misses out on summarising the article as there is nothing on the history section - just at least a couple of sentences explaining a bit on the history of the area ought to do it
 * The manor house, windmill and snatorium were mentioned. I've added a date for NT ownership, a bit about the quarry and hippie camp.&mdash; Rod talk 19:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * "Within the grounds is a dovecote which was probably built around 1578" - 1578 sounds very precise, is "probably built around 1578" valid?
 * |This source (from Historic England)] says "Probably 1578 for Sir John Sydenham", so I'm just reporting the RS.&mdash; Rod talk 19:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Inconsistencies with "Grade II" in the History section - one reads as "Grade II* listed" and the other reads "Grade II" without the asterisk
 * Ivythorne Manor is Grade II* whereas the windmill is Grade II.&mdash; Rod talk 19:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

On hold
Admittedly a very short review, but they were all of the issues I could find with it. The article is compact, well written and well-researched, so there were little points to make. If all of the above can be addressed then this should have no problem passing. JAG UAR   18:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thans for your comments which I have attempted to address.&mdash; Rod talk 19:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for addressing them! I got confused with the difference between "Grade II" and "Grade II*" which doesn't look good on me considering Bentworth will be at FAC soon. Anyway, this looks like it meets the GA criteria, so another Somerset GA  JAG  UAR   17:01, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
