Very beautiful cottage and property
Very beautiful cottage and property. Spacious living area. Large, well-equipped kitchen. Bedroom was cozy and warm. Excellent communication with host, who was very flexible in meeting us even though we arrived later in the evening than expected. Could not have asked for a better experience. We hope to return!

Top Notch Cottage
Got to say this was a brilliant cottage in a great location and hosts were fantastic. On arrival Steve met us and showed us around the property, even showing my husband around the paddock where he would be able to go for a morning run. Steve and Lizzie had also left us loads of goodies which was a real nice surprise. Would defo recommend this cottage to stay, is convenient to visit Bath, Bristol and other locations nearby. Particularly loved Castle Combe and Caen Hill Locks which was recommended by Steve. The Barge Inn is also worth a visit for drinks and meal and is not far from the cottage. Thanks Steve and Lizzie for such a wonderful stay and allowing Chris to use your hose so many times to wash our car 😂
