Guest Reviews

• Harriet (9/5): Quirky Pool House in beautiful grounds - Beautifully presented, with lovely touches. Super comfy bed and bedding and the shower was amazingly powerful! The travel cot was very hard for our little one.
• catherine (7/5): Wonderful space, the welcome not so much - Quirky and private space I was very slightly early after a long drive and was hoping to drop bags off as Iw as feeling slightly unwell, but the owner was extremely unwelcoming. I couldn’t connect to WiFi either
• Amy (10/5): They thought of everything and the dog box was such a lovely touch. We had a wonderful stay. Such a cosy little place. - Everything, it was beautiful Nothing
• Mark (10/5): Great stay - Quite location set in a lovely setting yet close to town and amenities. Maybe a little cluttered, although cluttered with lovely things. Being a bit of an OCD, minimalist it's possibly a taste thing and we will definitely be back.
• Nicola (10/5): A wonderful ,beautiful place that comes highly recommended - Loved everything! A wonderful place - the location & surroundings , the pool house style ,cleanliness ,size & the unexpected extras of fresh bread, milk & butter . Everything you could need & more was provided . I was also mortified by my own late checkout of 15 minutes but the host was understanding and this was greatly appreciated . I also booked and used the Dog field which was fabulous and easy to book & pay for online . I can’t say enough good things about this stay & I would highly recommend 😊
• Keith (9/5): Very good - Comfortable private great with 2 dogs
• Craig (7/5): A great stay, take bug spray! - Great location, near to Bradford and shops and several nice pubs. Bed comfortable and heated floor in bathroom welcome. Quiet location and outside seating catches the evening sun. A great place to stay for a few days. Host very quick to respond to queries and left bread, milk and a paper which were most welcome. Wood burner a very nice addition. Mosquitos. A few of the previous reviews mentioned them. I don’t know if we were unlucky and the property had been unoccupied for a time before we arrived, but without exaggeration I killed 40-50 mosquitos inside. They literally flew out of everything we touched. This is probably to do with the standing water in the covered pool directly outside. It was so bad we had to fumigate the place with a full can of raid, after that it was fine. Air conditioning a bit too noisy to sleep with it on. Sofa(bed) not particularly comfortable to sit on. Overall a good stay with a few niggles.
• Christina (10/5): -
• Anthony (10/5): A very nice apartment with excellent facilities, great locator your looking for peace and quiet. - The location is very peaceful setting and in a great location to visit nearby attractions. There were a number mosquito’s which were a little irritating, I expect this was due to Location, maybe an issue in the summer.
• Helen (10/5): Delightful, private, country get-away. - It was comfortable and quiet. In good weather, you could also say spacious as there is a large outside area to use as well. The host went above and beyond, providing a fresh cob of bread, fresh milk & butter in the fridge & fresh flowers on the table. The shower was great, the tv worked. There was extra bedding for the sofa. It was very private & the garden surroundings were delightful. It was good value for money. There is a pub up the road which was closed the two nights we were there. We ate dinner at home, but a nearby eatery within walking distance would have been an added bonus.
• JUDY (10/5): -
• Maxence (4/5): Logement sale - Studio confortable, bien équipé et bien décoré. Accueil peu sympathique. Le ménage n’avait pas été réalisé (urine sèche sur la cuvette des toilettes, sol dans un état lamentable avec des traces collantes et des poils de chien partout). Lorsque j’ai demandé à la propriétaire si elle avait un aspirateur, elle m’a répondu que si je ne suis pas satisfait je n’ai qu’à nettoyer selon mes attentes. Elle ne s’est même pas déplacée. Lorsque je lui ai dit que je pouvais lui envoyer des photos, le ton a changé (3h après) et elle m’a dit que la femme de ménage pouvait venir le lendemain matin (nous ne restions qu’une nuit donc quel intérêt ??). Il faut parfois juste savoir reconnaître qu’il y a eu un problème avec le ménage (la propriétaire semblait absente donc le remplaçant n’a peut-être pas nettoyé). Les vitres n’ont pas été nettoyées depuis un moment, pourtant la propriétaire dit que le ménage est fait quotidiennement. C’est honteux pour une nuit à ce prix. Si vous souhaitez un logement propre, allez voir ailleurs….
• Suzanne (10/5): - Very pretty and very cosy
• Jon (10/5): Perfect getaway - Everything was perfect, the bed was super comfortable, the fire was amazing and every detail had been thought of. Nothing
• Allie (9/5): Wondering short break at the pool house. Will definitely stay again - Beautifully appointed suite with lots of lovely extra touches. Location was really peaceful. Lots of outdoor space in stunning grounds. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was really great. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved all the dog bits and bobs too. There was a dog that barked in the night for a short while, might have been one of the other guest’s dogs?
• Derren (10/5): Beautiful accommodation. Good communication with hosts. -
• Rachael (10/5): Beautifully furnished, brilliant studio. 100% recommended! - I would 100% recommend staying here. It’s such a lovely studio room, beautifully and luxuriously furnished & equipped throughout. Lovely touches throughout, such as candles, fresh bread, and a newspaper. A very friendly spaniel even showed us to our accommodation! We arrived in the dark, a couple more lights by the car/down the path would have helped us see our way a little better, but that’s a super minor thing, we loved our stay.
• Bill (10/5): Real quality apartment - Well appointed Perhaps use the side entrance?
• antonella (10/5): Lovely, stylish, unique place - Absolutely loved our stay. The Pool House is very special. Beautifully styled. Enjoyed the log fire, the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was huge and super clean. The grounds are lovely, the owner's house is very beautiful and at the moment there is a magnificent magnolia tree outside it. We hired the dog field which our dog loved. The pets were really welcomed, with bed, bowls, treats etc. It was so peaceful, there is a table and chairs outside which are lovely. Yes the pool in front of it is not in use, I can understand why. Supervising it would be a pain for the owners and expensive to maintain. There is a green area to side where dogs can trot around. Bradford -upon-Avon was lovely, went to canal and cafes. As owner states it is not equipped with a huge kitchen, there is enough there for a cold supper, or basic dinner and a nice breakfast. Quality equipment and nice touches like really good quality olive oil and bread and milk. Lovely eggs available to buy from owner's flock. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back
• Heidi (10/5): Cozy, comfortable and a beautiful location. Would definitely return. -
• Jonathan (8/5): Cool cozy stay - Stylish, comfy cozy and perfect for a dog stay. Location for dog walks meant a busy back road to contend with and food takeout choices a challenge for a Monday evening.
• Jack (9/5): Absolutely wonderful - Comfy bed, amazing location, great views from the room, had everything we needed. The instructions for the log burner weren’t immediately visible so we used it how we’ve always done before (one firefighter under a jenga pile of kindling with a couple of small logs on top) - but because the logs weren’t kiln dried it didn’t work that well. The instructions were easy to follow so we wish we’d seen that first.
• Zoe (10/5): -
• vesimp (10/5): -
• Laura (9/5): - Great with a dog. Hosts had thought of everything. The photos don't do it justice. Just the right size. Parking easy , great access to dog walking
• adele (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again. - Location and venue - both of which were outstanding. The decor is very imaginative and the wood burner was a wonderful extra. No information about the area in the studio we could find. The wifi was not as strong as we expected and caused problems when watching tv.
• Lucy (10/5): A great stay in a lovely setting - Lovely stay. Has everything you need
• Russell (10/5): -
• Lena (10/5): Cosy, welcoming, dog friendly luxury. - The decor was beautifully done, EVERYTHING was explained thoroughly- how to light the fire if you didn’t know, the Netflix log in, where things were etc. it was quiet, serene. We didn’t cook but if you wanted to- there is oil, basic spices, salt pepper etc. They even leave butter milk and bread for you. Honestly- The thought, care and love that goes into this place is wonderful. Everything was perfect. There were no complaints.
• Paul (7/5): - Stylish and comfortable accommodation, with quality furnishings. Well thought out. Splendid setting. Good value. Heating not switched on prior to arrival (January booking) - very cold and took hours to reach a comfortable temperature. Limited in-house cooking options, although plenty of decent places to eat out nearby. The resident dogs were friendly and pleased to see visitors, but they did leave several 'calling cards' just outside of the property. Torch essential when dark!
• kerry (10/5): A wonderful time for humans and dog! - Wonderful location! Not far from lovely Bradford with supermarket, restaurants etc. We went to Lacock but Bath super close too! We used the on site dog field for our little sausage which was a bargain and she had a blast. The place itself is roomy, comfortable, warm! Nothing we didn’t like!
• Emma (9/5): -
• Anthony (10/5): - Comfortable and the aesthetics are great
• Sabine (10/5): -
• Kate (10/5): -
• Maria (10/5): -
• Denise (10/5): Perfect, quiet relaxing stay - We recently stayed at The Old Pool House with our 2 dogs whilst visiting family in Bradford on Avon. The Old Pool House was perfect for our stay. It is in a quiet are on the estate so my dogs were relaxed and chilled. The accommodation has a perfect kitchen and the owners even left us a pint of milk in the fridge and a lovely loaf of bread. The fact that there are 2 dog fields on site that could be booked separately made our life so much easier…the dogs got to have a good run around before settling in. We loved it, there was nothing to dislike!
• Chris (10/5): Lovely place, privately situated - High standard accommodation, privately situated in pleasant grounds. A real gem. We were reluctant to leave! Very well appointed with nice homely touches. Didn’t see the owners, but their instructions worked quite well. A lovely place 😊 Nothing
• Sarah (9/5): Superb hideaway with elegant trimmings - The Old Pool House is a superbly equipped hideaway. Beautiful decor and furnishings with all the touches of elegance. The enclosed log fire is a real plus. You'll never want to leave. I've already booked my next stay! Unfortunately I hit the icy cold snap from the arctic and the bathroom underfloor heating took a while to kick in. Once it did, it was very cosy.
• Annette (10/5): Relaxing and beautiful inside and out. A true gem to experience - This property was stunning in every way, it was luxury and full of so much character. Myself and my friend had a two night break to catch up and we both enjoyed our time in this beautiful and very stylish house. We will definitely return. This is the jewel in the forrest with plenty of relax time. If you are looking for a quiet few days away in luxury then book. Great value for money. The owners had thought of everything and more, the property was complete with all the mod cons and had everything you would need for a few days away. The bed was so comfy, the fire was amazing and it was great to also have air con! I loved the candle there so much i went and brought it. The bedding and cleanliness was exceptional. Thank you so much for making our stay so lovely. There wasn’t anything to not like at all
• Emma (10/5): -
• Donna (8/5): Nice Stay ! - Liked the decor, quirky, lots of bits & bobs , which gave it character, which i love. Loved the bed/ bedding , so comfortable, warm & cosy ! Location beautiful & peaceful. The TV could be a little tricky to operate, no live TV, streaming channels for everything, which requires using personal log in details , abit of a faff !
• catriona (10/5): Exceptional . We will be back ! - This is a beautifully done studio ; everything is top notch from the bedding ,beautiful throws and toiletries to the kitchen equipment (and even the toilet rolls ..!!) loved the wood burner and the outside space . Very dog friendly ; they adored the excercise fields well worth booking ! Thanks for the beautiful fresh dahlias and groceries. Amanda couldn’t be nicer . We want to come back asap but especially in spring to see the arch in bloom !! Nothing. Wish we’d stayed longer
• Gary & Sandy (10/5): - We loved the location, the setting and the unit was unbelievable....absolutely stunning We could find no faults, from the value for money to the comfort levels...this was first class.
• Claire (9/5): - Lovely setting and accommodation.. Loved the log burner. Struggled with the shower. Even on coldest setting it was too hot to get under.
• Mairi (10/5): - We loved absolutely everything about this amazing property. We stayed for 2 nights and it far exceeded our expectations. It is set in the most beautiful estate and has all the comforts of home. Everything has been carefully thought out and is high end. Very comfortable with lots of lovely, special touches. We would love to come back. We can honestly say there was nothing we didnt like about the property.
• Kate (10/5): Amazing stay at the Pool house. Great location for a weekend in the country and it’s done so beautifully! They have ever - Lovely location and clear signs to check in. The pool house is done beautifully with everything you need. Board games and the fire were a great touch and the extra dog box of goodies. You’ve thought of everything! Defo be back again :) Nothing!
• Liesel (10/5): Beautiful private hideaway, cozy fireplace, luxurious amenities, pet-friendly retreat - We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Old Pool House. The studio is stylish, beautifully decorated, and finished to the highest standard. We were welcomed with delicious fresh bread, which was such a lovely personal touch. The studio is incredibly private and peaceful, tucked to the side of the owner's property but completely secluded. We loved the cosy fireplace, the spacious shower, and the comfortable bed - everything about the stay was just perfect. The grounds and surroundings were stunning, adding to the overall charm and beauty of the property. Amanda, the owner, followed up to make sure everything was perfect, which made us feel so cared for. We were also thrilled that our two little dogs were warmly accommodated - a huge plus for us. It truly was one of the best stays we've had and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious, private and pet-friendly retreat. We've saved your number on our phones and will definitely be returning. Thanks for sharing your beautiful space with us. Absolutely nothing.
• Tilly (10/5): -
• anita (8/5): High standard of decor pretty location - Location Nothing in particular just we found some of the appliances difficult to work . Having already messaged the owner twice didn’t want to disturb her again
• Amrit (10/5): Very good and clean . My son is in bath university. That’s why we are staying there . May be booking soon next . Recomm - Good and clean All good
• Karen (10/5): WOW! THIS PLACE IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM! - The estate was beautiful and the pool house was quite private from the main house. We enjoyed having the beautiful and well-maintained grounds outside our door. I really appreciated walking into the pool house and seeing a large vase of fresh flowers on the counter. When we walked into the kitchen, we noticed a large loaf of fresh bread on the cutting board and small pink bag, contains a sweet gift. In the living area, there were numerous throws and two large wooden bins of kindling, firewood, and matches, if we chose to make a fire. Outside our door was a large wood table and chairs, holding another vase of freshly cut flowers. I regret not having taken the time to sit outside and breathe in the fresh air, but we wanted to see the many sites in the area. The kitchen was well equipped, even though we didn't cook anything there. It did have a nice coffee press and plenty of ground coffee. We loved being able to hear the birds instead of traffic. There's nothing we didn't like. We spent three nights there and I wish it could've been longer.
• King (10/5): -
• Elaine (10/5): -
• Patricia (10/5): Brilliant! - Absolutely wonderful stay, most comfortable bed of my life! I want to live here!
• Miranda (10/5): Beautiful location, luxurious studio and our dog was warmly welcomed. - The Old Pool House is a gem. Inside, there is everything you need. Plus everything you hadn’t even thought you might need! Very clean and comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay. Our dog was made extremely welcome, the walking fields at the property are a real asset. The owners were incredibly helpful, there if you need them but no sign if you don’t. The great reviews are all well deserved. N/a
• Paul (10/5): -
• Jacqui (9/5): Very relaxing stay in an excellent location - We loved the setting and the decor of the pool house. Lovely walks around the grounds.
• Gary (10/5): Delightful studio apartment in converted pool house - Exceeded my highest expectations. Everything had been thought of. All good
• nigel (10/5): - Beautiful location The Pool House was exceptional, equipped with everything you need, plus more, comfortable bed and lovely furnishings, clean and well presented.
• Francis (10/5): Absolutely fantastic can’t fault it - The whole flat was decorated beautifully, really felt at home and didn’t want to leave! It was all great!
• Maddy (10/5): One of the best places we have stayed In, we loved it 🥰 -
• Pauline (5/5): The Ole Pool House - The bathroom was spacious and large and the water had great temperature. The bed whilst on the smaller side was very comfortable. There was bread (out of date unfortunately), butter, cereal and milk provided. The property was out of town and definitely not walking distance to any restaurants etc. The parking is on site but quite a distance from the pool house across uneven ground which makes it difficult to wheel suitcases etc from the car, and not great when it’s raining. The pool house has a lot of ‘stuff’ in it which makes it very cluttered. There is only one comfortable seat in the house - a single armchair. The couch provided to sit to watch TV is like sitting on cement. The curtains on the windows are extremely long and grotty and falling off the windows. These are a trip hazard. There were many spiderwebs in the house and it was dusty. The hosts didn’t engage at all other than a young boy directing us where to park. The power points near the bed are behind furniture and hard to access. These pool is empty and looks to have been for a long while.
• Faye (9/5): - We were in Bradford on Avon for a wedding so only stayed for one night but wish we could have stayed longer! The Old Pool House was beautifully decorated, cosy and comfortable. We felt like it was a home away from home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
• JELA (10/5): We had an enjoyable stay in lovely surroundings - Well presented with quality fittings throughout. It has abundant style but also charm that gives it a homely touch. Everything was spotless and Amanda was easy to communicate with but never intrusive. Nice touches with lovely fresh flowers and provisions to greet us. Nothing
• CJBoarland (10/5): A perfect spot close to Bradford On Avon - Beautiful former pool house in the grounds of Granby House. Everything has been done to a very high standard. "No expense spared" comes to mind in terms of fixtures and fittings. Dog friendly, always a plus for us. Communication with the owner was always good. And the location, close to the town of Bradford On Avon was perfect, a little oasis away from the busy town. One point to note, transport is definitely needed for even the shortest journey. Although the distance to the nearest pub is short, the road is busy with little or no verge in some places, especially important if with a dog(s).
• Amanda (8/5): -
• sophie (7/5): Amazing pool house, great location and a very responsive host - Property was really nicely decorated and very comfortable, quiet and private. The kitchen was fully stocked with equipment and the host had left bread, butter and milk for us, as well as tea and coffee which was lovely! Bathroom was lovely and had very nice toiletries. The property was easy to find and the host came back straight away when I had a question about something. I paid for 3 guests so was expecting the sofa bed to have been made up- especially for the price! But it wasn’t, so I had to make it up myself. All the linen was there ready to go. There was some dog hair on our bed linen and I am really allergic to dogs! This would obviously not put off dog lovers though. There was quite a bit of dog poo around the pool.
• Vicky (9/5): Perfect - The property is very comfortable and quirky. The setting is sensational.
• Ben (8/5): Prima rustig verblijf als uitvalsbasis voor mooie omgeving - De vrije ligging op het landgoed en de badkamer Niet echt kookgelegenheid en geen stoelen om lekker buiten te zitten
• Connie (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf om met de hond Bath en omgeving te bezoeken - Prachtig gelegen op een estate, hondvriendelijk Niets
• Keith (8/5): Very good -
• Malcolm (10/5): Lovely old pool house - Really nice pool house in stunning grounds. Very close to the centre of Bradford-on-Avon, just a short 2 minute drive or a little walk. The pool house was just perfect for our overnight stay and would definitely come back for longer in the future. Perfect, many thanks.
• Kh (10/5): A very enjoyable stay with my pups! - Very dog friendly! There is a doggo amenity box with towels, bowls, treats and balls for your pup! The place is very neat and tidy. Host is friendly and helpful too. I cannot not think of any!
• Angie (9/5): Serenity at the Old Pool House - The pool house had everything we needed for our stay Very comfy bed Excellent shower/ bathroom Aircon unit was fabulous Located 15 minutes walk from town Very nice welcome pack, milk, fresh bread, butter, tea, coffee We arrived earlier than expected & were told the PH wasn't quite ready, so we sat & waited a while, we decided to leave our luggage & go for lunch as it was very hot and we'd had a long journey If the woman had said come back in 1/2 hour or given us some idea of when we could get in I wouldn't be writing this, yes we arrived earlier than the time we'd agreed, but a little more than 'not yet' would have been better Although I've mentioned this, it wouldn't stop us staying here again as overall our stay wal lovely
• Barbara (7/5): Good - The location was excellent being a short drive from pubs, shops and canal side Also having bread and milk in the room on arrival was a nice touch The only downside to this property was the view onto an unkempt covered swimming pool and concrete surround Also the patio door needed a good clean on the outside
• Steph (10/5): Loved the place great space inside and out. It was beautiful - Location was fantastic Every thing was amazing, beautiful spot
• Clark (10/5): A gorgeous space with everything we needed to relax in comfort! - The host had kindly left fresh bread, milk butter and plenty of tea fresh coffee and seasonings olive oil etc to cook with as well as a thank you for booking coaster! beautiful fresh cut flowers in the room! plus dog bed and dog treats, firewood for the winter.. A lot of thought had gone into ensuring there was everything we needed with great quality bedding bathroom and sofa and chairs even a newspaper and books to read. We loved it and it was a lovely private space with dog walking field close by so everyone was happy! A short drive to Bradford on Avon with lots of cafes and restaurants made for a perfect relaxing stay. Thank you :)
• Herb (10/5): Total relaxation for us in incredible dog friendly setting - Property larger than we expected. High quality appliances, shower, fittings etc. Extremely dog friendly. The setting was incredible. King sized bed extremely comfortable. Amazing trees & bird song, woken by a song thrush every morning. Sturdy outside dining furniture. Left in peace, dog fields brilliant, fresh eggs available. Brilliant supply of logs & kindling so on our one cooler evening, we could enjoy the log burner. Such a relaxing & enjoyable stay for us. Recommend the nearby New Inn. Thank you Amanda & James We missed the Wisteria arch being in bloom by a few weeks, the scent would have been incredible!
• Allison (10/5): Fantastic, tranquil and relaxing - The space outside, just fantastic for the dogs. We were lucky with the weather when we arrived. We took our recliner sun loungers and enjoyed relaxing in the sun. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed our stay and so did our dogs! Just fabulous! Nothing we didn’t like!
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kenneth (9/5): what a fab find! - excellent safe location. great for our dog. lovely property. bit quirky and suited us fine. not a dislike: but with amazing weather we just needed a couple of sun loungers.
• Kate (7/5): Comfortable, safe and attractive place to stay, particularly for one person. - Attracively converted and decorated little studio flat. Situated within a few minutes drive of a small -ish Sainsbury's and the lovely town centre. In beautiful grounds, private and safe-feeling, great if you're on your own Could have been a bit better equipped with some of the basics ( like kitchen scissors) and the bedsettee is not particularly comfortable to just sit on. Allthough all on one level there are steps down from the garden and car parking to where it is, a lip in the doorway to step over and a step up into the shower, so be aware if booking for anyone with a physical disability. I wasn't happy to discover no protectors on the pillows.
• Maxine (7/5): Good - Lovely quirky studio with good facilities and shower was great. Bed comfortable and peaceful location. Real fire made it cosy at night. It was rather cold in morning as couldn't get underfloor heating to work or towel rail even though we had instructions . There was an electric heater, but kept going off.
• Alice (10/5): Wow! Would go back in a heartbeat! - What a find! A gorgeous well appointed property which was perfect to show an American friend some quintessential England. We really hit the jackpot finding this one, and I would come back and stay again in a heartbeat. Nothing, it was so magical!
• Jane (9/5): Superb - Facilities were great.
• Colin (9/5): Really lovely - Lovely quiet location. Very comfortable bed. Lovely decor and some great touches ( lovely soaps, breakfast food, logs ) Shame it didn’t have a hob (just one cooking ring). Sofa bed wasn’t that comfy but for one evening was fine
• Lynne (10/5): A perfect getaway in the countryside. - Beautiful location. Comfortable bed, Great T.V and WIFI. Personal touches- Fresh flowers, milk, bread etc. Had a Soho Farmhouse type style- Relaxed, stylish but homely. Loved everything about it. Perfect stay. There was nothing that we could add to improve our stay.
• Stuart (10/5): A little gem in a beautiful and peaceful location just outside the town. - A little gem in a beautiful and peaceful location just outside of the town. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make the place welcoming and homely including bread, butter, coffee and milk on arrival, beautiful flowers on the table, candles, books and much more. Loads of logs and kindling (we were warm enough without a fire). Cute kitchen with everything you need for a short stay. Super bathroom with great shower. And to see that the dog is most welcome was lovely with bowls, dog bed (a bit small for our boy), toys and a doggie biscuit jar provided. No extra charge for the dog which is such a rarity these days. Didn't have to make use of the dog field as we had busy days but I imagine this could be very useful. Wonderful stay and would definitely return if in the area. We like a firm mattress and the one on the bed was quite soft but this is obviously just our preference and didn't prevent us from enjoying our stay.
• Nicole (9/5): Wonderful comfortable stay - The Old Pool House is located in the beautiful and quiet grounds of the larger house. As a lone female traveller I felt safe and had a great night’s sleep! Comfy bed, homely setting and really thoughtful touches leaving milk and fresh bread.
• Amanda (9/5): Superb - This is a lovely private studio on beautiful grounds that you can walk around and take in the wonderful nature and wildlife. Exceptional NA
• Rachel (10/5): Comfortable secluded stay - Comfortable and well supplied and decorated. Great location near Bradford on Avon.
• Lynda (8/5): Very good - Lovely setting, very well appointed Complex heating system
• Steve (10/5): Short stay - Amazing accommodation. Everything was thought of in the studio. Lovely finishes. Amazing surroundings Liked everything
• Denis (10/5): Exceptional - What a wonderful place to stay in. Everything was perfect and we will be recommending to our friends. Birthday treat for my partner and she absolutely adored it.
• Dave (9/5): Even though we only travelled from Bath, we'd go back in the summer to enjoy the wysteria and quiet! - A beautiful property, the owners had thought of everything. There was even a dog bread and a box with treats, a lead, towel a toy and a box for their poo bags! The kitchen is well equipped with a Kitchen Aid combi-microwave and hotplate and decent knives! Bread, milk and butter was there on our arrival. Our dog enjoyed the dog field which is available to hire, they'd thought of everything there too! We couldn't get the towel rail in the bathroom to work, but it wasn't such a problem that we needed to contact the owners as there were plenty of spare towels under the bed!
• Christine (10/5): Fantastic cozy break with gorgeous decor, comfy bed, great facilities and the fire topped it all off. - Beautiful location, gorgeously unique and comfortable place and the fire was an added bonus The only thing that was a minor inconvenience was there was no blind on the kitchen window so I woke up from daylight coming in the morning. No big deal but prefer a dark room to sleep.
• Samantha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (8/5): Very good -
• Lindsay (10/5): Beautiful - A welcome return for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. Log fire, incredibly comfortable bed, great peaceful surroundings to relax at the end of a busy day. Thank you, I’m sure we’ll be back.
