  What a fabulous place Hartcliffe View is.

  We have just returned from a weekend birthday celebration with all the family. 12 humans and 3 little dogs. Firstly this is a completely dog friendly place with a large walled garden, big dog bed, bowls etc. provided. The house has everything you could possibly need for your stay with a fully equipped kitchen and utility room- home away from home just bring your food- there’s plenty of storage. Kitchen roll, bin bags, spices , condiments even ice for our evening tipple were all provided. The complimentary couple of bottles of red and tin of biscuits was much appreciated thank you Ed. The kitchen quickly became the hub of the house. On another note there were plenty of loo roll supplied for every bathroom which is not always the case with holiday rentals and there is a hairdryer in every room. The house is well presented and very clean. The large dining room meant we could sit down together and enjoy shared meals into the evening. The house is big enough for everyone to have their space with plenty of activities, the games room was a big hit as was the 70inch TV in the lounge with Sky Sports and a PlayStation. We hired the hot tub as an extra (just as an aside for me it should be included in the house hire as these days hot tubs usually are because who doesn’t like a hot tub) and even though we had inclement weather it was great to sit with a glass of fizz taking in the lovely farm land views. We had an 18 month old toddler with us - the supply of a baby gate, cot, soft play area, bath toys and high chairs were very welcome ! We visited the friendly local pub- open fire, pool table and dart board for a quick drink after walking in the area - plenty of countryside walks round there. All in all we had a thoroughly lovely time and can all highly recommend Hartcliffe - we will be back - thanks for your hospitality Ed ! Wendy and the Von Trapp Family Singers !

  We have just returned from a week at Nuffies Cottage, my wife and I, Son and Daughter in law and our 15 month grand daughter.

  Just to say from the start, we could not have been happier with our choice of cottage/location/hosts and luckily the weather. You are staying on a working farm, the cottage faces onto a courtyard shared with another holiday let, a cottage occupied by a family member and of course the home of your hosts Gill and Mick. Due to the slope of the land, all downstairs windows face onto the courtyard, upstairs bedrooms have views of the surrounding countryside. It is well sized even for six people with two double bedrooms and a separate bathroom upstairs, kitchen/dining area and lounge area downstairs with a further twin bedroom and en-suite off this main area.. Apart from yourselves and food, just about everything else is provided, in a separate building is a utility room with washing machine and dryer which you are able to use, and various items such as high chairs/ironing board etc. Location is at the top of a hill [hence Hill Top Farm] just over a mile from the A5012 . Aldwark is a very small group of farms, the nearest pub is the Hollybush Inn which is about 1 mile down hill. Consequently any journeys out for a drink or evening meal would need to be by car unless you are quite fit and mobile. This was not a problem for us as we ate in every evening with our young grand daughter and the kitchen is fully equipped with oven/hob/microwave. All in all, if you are looking for a quiet stay in wonderful surroundings you could do a lot worse than stay with Gill and Mick, sadly even they cannot guarantee the weather but we were more than lucky with our weeks worth of bright sunshine.

  The Cottage was very comfortable and well equipped.

  Beds were good and the kitchen had plenty of space and everything you need. The fridge was a little small for a group of 6. Any problems or questions were addressed by the owners including supplying us with a few bits for cokking that we forgot to bring with us. The description is accurate but I think we found that for our group of 4 adults and 2 children it didn't work so well for us. Having the en suite off the twin room used by the children left 4 adults using the main bathroom. The lounge area was also a bit small for us. It is worth considering the needs of your group before booking. The main frustration was the very poor internet. The signal dropped in and out, cutting off transactions such as paying for tickets for attractions in advance. In the end we had to stop using it and rely on our phones. I suspect this is a symptom of the remote location but if this is an important issue for you then this may not be the right lcoation for you. The cottage is quite remote and the nearest shops and conveniences are a short drive away. All in all a plesant cottage in a pleasant location. Read the description carefully and consider if the unusual layout is for you.

  Really well equipped flat with everything we needed for our stay.

  Very kind of the owners to leave milk and biscuits for us. Dishwasher and washing machine in the flat was very welcome. Can’t really comment on the location as we were using it as a base while we visited friends so we weren’t doing the typical ‘tourist’ thing! Generally, presentation and cleanliness was good but there were some fairly large cobwebs hanging down in the bedroom (tall ceilings so understandable), thick dust on the skirting board behind the bed/mirror in the smaller bedroom. The main thing that let it down was the state of the shower. The cubicle was riddled with mould and the seals were green with mould/algae. These are really simple and cheap to replace so I can’t understand why it hasn’t been done. Would also have been nice to have some information somewhere about where rubbish needed to go and facilities for recycling. We ended up leaving the bag of rubbish in the flat which I felt bad about as we didn’t know where it went. We also took a bag of recycling back home to Weston super Mare with us! Having said all of that, overall, it was still a pleasant stay and we would return if visiting friends again.

  Wow. What can we say.

  Lived up to all our expectations and more. This holiday home had EVERYTHING we needed - and more. Every time we thought - would be super handy if they had something, we’d look and find it. So what was great? It was super clean, really comfortable, incredibly well fitted out and in a beautiful location. We used the hot tub company which was great too. All beds were super comfy. The games room was so much fun. The kids loved having a TV in every room (you think you wouldn't need this, but it’s really handy!). We loved the attention to detail - it very much feels like it’s been designed to be an ideal holiday vacation property. The owners are also super nice and helpful - Ed couldn’t have done more for us. Lots of communication. One thing to note: there is a huge marble staircase and a spiral staircase - both of which are amazing, but we had a 3 year old with us who we needed to watch all the time on both. Younger kids (under6) need to be supervised in the games room. Thanks again for such a great stay, we really hope to be back!
