Friendly welcome. The house and room were lovely. Bed and pillows very comfortable. It was all in the little touches as well. Fresh milk in the fridge was really nice.

Ally United Kingdom

Breakfast was superb. One could choose what one wanted. It was freshly cooked in front of you. The room was excellent, beautifully clean

James United Kingdom

Very welcoming and homely. Exceptional service and excellent quality.

Paul United Kingdom

Lovely house and decor. The owners Tanya & Robert were attentive, helpful and very welcoming. Ideal location for our needs. The freshly cooked breakfast to order was just what you needed before starting a busy day exploring the area. The room was huge, nice big bath and shower. Bed was comfortable. They even provided a fridge with milk and water in which can be replenished if needed, along with tea, coffee and sugar. We hope to stay again when in that area.

Debbie United Kingdom

The house is beautiful. Our room was really very nice and extremely spacious. Bed was very comfortable, included tea/coffe making facilities and a small fridge. Bathroom was lovely. All very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was just great and it was nice to be able to sit outside........and meet the cats!!! Hosts were lovely, welcoming and we had good chats. Its in a great location for visiting Bath, Frome, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury. Surronding countryside is beautiful.

Lovely old building with a rich history. Even though there wasn't air-conditioning, I slept comfortably all night thanks to the thick stone walls. Super cosy and the staff were lovely. Can't fault it.

Very clean and well decorated, with a lovely sun terrace and patio area.
