Caroline
Fantastic opportunity to observe wildlife close up eg woodpeckers, a hare, pheasant. A lovely welcome with a freshly made cake waiting for us. We were very comfortable indoors but there was a lovely terrace for sitting out too. The local pub The Ring OâBells was a 5minute walk and served excellent food. A brilliant place to visit.

Everything to the highest standard. Magnificent trees, sweeping grass and lovely planting. You have to be tidy and organised but you could spend the whole time looking at the view, rain or shine, and the stars on a clear night. Our second visit and we hope to come again, Welcoming and discreet owners.

Beautiful garden with visits from pheasants, a partridge, a fox and a young deer. Bath is a great city to visit and Dyrham Park National Trust has some lovely walks.
