The property is appreciated for its quiet, peaceful location with easy access to nearby towns and attractions. Its proximity to amenities and the countryside is well-received, although no specific negative comments were made to reduce the score significantly.

The facilities are generally regarded as excellent, with a few guests suggesting additional kitchen implements and mentioning a noisy extractor fan. These small maintenance issues lead to a slightly lower score.

    The weather turned chilly while we were there but the heating was adequate so we were toasty warm

  • Duncan

    The property owners were very helpful and the property was warm and comfortable.

  • Martin

    Everything is finished to a high standard and was clean throughout. We liked the sense of isolation even though we were just five minutes from all the facilities in Yate. One minor comment would be about the towels. Why present everything else to such a high standard and then present guests with a scraggy set of towels when they first arrive? Also, the outdoor light by the bedroom doesn't work properly and we tripped over the step a couple of times. These are quite picky things but worth sharing given that everything else was so good.
