Quiet and peaceful. You can hear the planes from Bristol Airport but they are not intrusive. I good place to access Somerset and beyond. The Stables is well equipped and has everything you need to enjoy your stay

The cottage was clean and very comfy and suited our young family perfectly. The only slight negative was that all the grounds were covered with CCTV, we felt we should of been made aware of this and what would happen with the images recorded before booking. We would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

It is in a location that is near to most of the attractions we wanted to visit, which was nice to only have around half an hour drive or less to Bristol, Wookey Hole. Weston-super-Mare. The only thing we found slightly negative and that is down to personal preference was the beds. The mattresses were soft and made boing sound, when you moved or turned over, and you could feel the springs. As I said its personal preference. The weather was nice one day and we went to use the retractable washing line. It didn't work and wouldn't pull out.which would have been nice to use and a nice touch. So we used the clothes airer, but when we got back from our day out it had blown over. Scattering all the washing across the property. Could the owner fix or replace the washing line. Overall, we had a lovely time and would love to return sometime in the future.
