  I will start at one end and work my way to the other.

  The towels provided had a very strong mildew smell. We were 3 adults and 1 child staying for 6 days. They provided just one extra roll of toilet paper. Hand soap was provided on the sinks of the two bathrooms. For the bathroom off of the big bedroom, no soap was provided nor was there a proper place to put it. We bought bar soap from Tesco and I balanced it on some of the pipes. Wasps kept trying to come in and make nests and that might be why the bathroom vents have all been taped up on the outside. The hot water was powered by gas. The instructions for the cabin said is the gas run out to change the tank if we felt comfortable with being able to do it. It did not say what to do if we were not comfortable doing that. Even when we had not been using it, the hot water would sometimes not be hot. Staying in an unfamiliar place, we wanted to leave the light on in the hallway bathroom. Unfortunately, there is no way to have the light on without the exhaust fan also running. It was annoying having to hear the exhaust fan all night. The hallway bathroom did not flush properly, but we were able to fix that. It simply had not been set up properly. The kitchen was a place of multiple problems. There were no instructions on how to use the oven. The oven knobs had the numbers 1 through 8 on them. No temperature markings. No idea of how to know when the oven was up to temperature. Many of the dishes and silverware provided to us were dirty. Most of the knives were dull and flimsy. The only sharp knife was a little paring knife. There was a spoon in the drawer with old milky tea dried in it, as if it were used to stir a drink and then just put directly back into the drawer. Also, one of the bowls on the kitchen shelf has several dried hardened on spots of mystery splatter in it as well as an aged, gummy candy stuck to the inside of it The inside door latches were difficult to operate. We had to tape over one door because my grandson got trapped in a room and was unable to open the door. The sliding glass doors in the living room are not properly sealed on one side, so there was a steady stream of flies coming in.

  We stayed here to celebrate my 60th birthday.

  This is a beautiful house with a lovely garden in a beautiful location. We did swim in the freshwater pond and it really did add to the experience including the pond life. The games room was a great extra and we made good use of the table tennis table. Plenty of space downstairs for 8 people but I would say that the beds did not feel enough for 8 adults, the 4th room with the trundle bed would be better for children and we had to move the chest of drawers onto the landing to extend the trundle bed and leave room for 2 adults. This house is very much the owners home and it felt strange at first because very personalised. We loved the decor downstairs but again the upstairs was a bit too much like staying with a relative for a few nights particularly the 2 childrens rooms. No wardrobe space in the bedrooms except for the master where a space had been made among the owners belongings. Very little drawer space and many of the drawers were filled with clothing and underwear belonging to the owners children. I had the master suite which had a lovely bathroom and views of the garden. Im not sure my family were particularly impressed with their sleeping arrangements but were too polite to say as I had paid. Four bathrooms with great showers in all of them. We had a fabulous week in the house but there are improvements that could be made particularly upstairs

  The Coach house is a beautiful quite,clean spacious cottage in a very good location and the owner Mary was very pleasant and helpful.

  We received a lovely welcome gesture of food and the bottle of rose wine was really nice and cold and went down very well with the comfort of relaxing after our journey. Great for a short walk around the village or a long walk out the country with foot path areas nearly all the way. Good for cycling too and it’s a nice 30 min ride into Bath following a quiet, fairly flat cycle route. Bristol city centre is not far either for shopping and I recommend eating out at La Famiglia which is a Top class and fairly priced Italian restaurant. There’s Cheddar gorge, Wookey hole and The Severn bridge within 30 mins or so if you fancy a drive then a walk about in the daytime but it’s lovely to get back to the cottage and chill out and the rooms warm up quickly and the shower is powerful and the bath nice and relaxing. The bedroom is upstairs and on it’s own and the full moon shone through a couple of nights which was nice ( there are dark blinds too if you prefer) and it’s so quiet waking up there too. We will definitely return there when we can again. I would also like to thank Mary again for posting on my trainers I left behind and for being kind and generous while we were there.

  We were a family of 3 generations and had a great week at the house.

  The gardens are gorgeous and the rooms are all beautifully furnished and the upstairs games room was priceless as it kept the two youngest very happy for hours on end playing ping pong and watching TV. Our favourite thing however hands down, was the swimming pond and we went in it almost daily, come rain or shine. It was also lovely just to sit next to it and watch the reflections of the clouds in the water, the swallows dive into it by day and the bats flutter around it by night. The children made full use of the hot tub, and we loved having the horses behind the house and enjoyed the eggs we were given from the chickens. The house is in a fantastic location with so many places to see within a short drive. We managed trips to Clifton, Tyntesfield House, Ashton Court (not that exciting in itself but the cafe is worth visiting), Bath, Symonds Yat and a coastal walk near Weston Super Mere. We also visited the local village shop (Honey & Ginger) and the Failand Inn pub for a meal. Waitrose and Tesco were only about a 10 minute drive away in Nailsea, I would definitely recommend staying here and I've already had a couple of friends ask for the details to the house.

  Lulu Logs is a lovely property - very spacious, well equipped, very clean and very comfortable.

  The cabin was ideal for my father as it is all on one level. It was very cosy and warm, with sunlight streaming in through the patio doors, which had a lovely outlook onto the shared garden area. Although the very large garden is shared, each cabin had it's own private patio area which was not overlooked by the cabins to the side due to strategically placed, useful sheds. Everything was ready for our arrival, the beds were made up with clean linen and clean towels were provided. Thoughtful little extra touches, such as 'emergency' kitchen and toiletry items, were appreciated, as was the welcome pack. Although we were initially missing a pair of oven gloves, this was resolved when the owner turned up at the door within minutes of my text. Not an issue and easily sorted with a bit of communication! The owners were pleasant and friendly. The location is quiet and peaceful. It is ideal for visiting the coast and countryside attractions throughout Somerset and getting to Bristol. There are also several dog friendly pubs in the area which serve nice meals. We would definitely stay again if we were to holiday in Somerset in the future.
