The Bothy is an immaculately presented ground floor apartment for two in a peaceful village adjacent to Bath. The Bothy is well provided with for self catering & a relaxing stay. It is in an ideal location for those with their own transport. The Odd Down Park & Ride into Bath City centre is close by with a frequent bus service, so you do not have to negotiate the traffic & narrow old streets in Bath. Several National Trust properties are nearby, as well as the many other attractions of the west country.
We needed a few days away for a mini honeymoon. We came across this place and it was perfect. We loved the welcome hamper of coffee, tea, jam, cereal etc... Was so peaceful and would come back anytime!
We absolutely adore staying at this beautiful property, the Lodge is stunning, it is beautifully furnished and we always feel instantly at home. Booking communications are just excellent, I can highly recommend staying and will most definitely be booking again.
The incredible welcome started before we even arrived, with excellent communication from the owner before our stay and on the day of our arrival. Charles is really friendly and knowledgeable - he always made time to answer all our questions and give us superb recommendations about where to go and eat. The yurts are beautiful and comfortable. As a family of 5, there was plenty of room for us all and our bags etc. The children loved the fire pit (we had some great barbecues and toasted marshmallows at night!). Plenty of shops around (we went to Morrisons) to stock up on food and restaurants when...more
Fruitpip was a very comfortable cottage providing us with easy access to Bakewell, Chatsworth and the wonderful Lathkill Dale. It was the perfect location to base all the walks from Haddon Farm. Despite initial teething trouble in using the induction oven ( quick learning ), the kitchen was adequately equipped for the two of us. After a long walk each day, the power shower in the bathroom was just perfect. And of course there was the heated pool, again a pleasant addition to relax the tired muscles after a long walk. We loved our stay at Fruitpip and will recommend it to anybody looking for ...more
We had a wonderful time away, the yurts were well equipped and we had everything we needed. Charlie and his team were super helpful.
We had a fantastic family Christmas , lovely house with amazing views. A lovely area of the country with plenty of places to visit. Kevin was brilliant with us, really kind and helpful nothing was too much trouble for him
Very cosy cottage, ideal for a couple. It is very quiet, and yet very near the centre of Bakewell. We found the restaurant (The Woodyard) nearby, extremely good. Will certainly book again next time we’re in the area.
What a wonderful place to spend time with friends and family. Amazing facilities and views. Lots of space for everyone to relax.
A fantastic and very reasonably priced venue for a group of 22 friends and work colleagues to relax.
The cottage owners were very helpfull We had 4 nights of complete luxury Very well furnished bathroom was brilliant farm paths with the dogs were well marked out We will be back
The Dower House is in an excellent location for visiting the Peak District and Chatsworth. the house itself is clean, tidy and comfortable, We loved the log fire and the farm across the road where you are able to buy eggs, milk and wood. Make sure you visit the Packhorse Inn, Lower Longstone, during your stay. Superb communication and immediate assistance when we requested assistance with a very small matter.
This house was perfect for a family get together after so long. Location, facilities all amazing. Cant recommend highly enough.
Beautiful, perfect location just wish we could have got in earlier than 5pm; didn't want to leave, staff on site brilliant and so helpful, we will be coming again
We had a lovely week in this ancient, but brilliantly renovated cottage. Clean, cosy, but spacious, with a lovely log burner. Nothing about it was poky, and although there was only one room downstairs it was modern, and open plan, and we felt that we had masses of space - a family of four, plus dogs ! Perfect, sheltered garden, wonderful views, and within 5 mins of Leominster, and Bromyard - not much further to Hereford and Ludlow, although we headed to the hills of Kington, and Offas Dyke. Good beds, linen, and a comprehensive hamper with lots of local bits and bobs. Pub doing takaway food ju...more
A really delightful cottage! Beautifully clean, furnished and well equipped to a high standard. A lovely enclosed garden with steps up to large lawn (thinking children/dogs!) and sun trap courtyard! Many lovely walks in the estate and much info provided for places to visit/eat. A great getaway!
House is situated in a really peaceful setting. House is Beautiful, Modern & Clean, no issues whilst there. I would suggest the hot tub is moved under shelter during the winter. Also no cork screw which was strange as there is a wine fridge.
Booked for a special occasion. The house worked well and location was great for day trips. Good weather allowed us to make the most of the outside and plenty of space inside at night. Relaxed feel with tidy, clean bedrooms.
Our first impressions of the lodge when we arrived did not falter throughout our stay! Such spacious accommodation and so relaxing, dog friendly indeed! The men enjoyed the fishing, the ladies and the men and the two dogs enjoyed the walks! It took me a while to work out the hob but that’s just me! Lovely bathrooms, and about pristine! Just a couple of small things that I think would improve the stay would be a better recycle system, I hated not separating everything apart from glass! One or two dog poo bins and for the anglers maybe some different species of fish in the lake apart from ten...more
A beautifully maintained and delightfully decorated farmhouse. Everything in working order and all bedrooms equal in size and comfort. A big group of siblings and partners we enjoyed a wonderful holiday. Excellent location and welcome from the estate housekeeper. The welcome pack was generous and useful.
Very comfortable and well equipped houses. Hosts very helpful and easy to contact Dog friendly with secure garden
We just love this place, every last detail has been thought about.. though there are five lodges you are not aware of the four around you as they are all screened for privacy. Great Jon staycation
Lovely peaceful remote location and yet only 10 minutes from Honiton shops and The Otter pub. Ted is a great host - chatty & friendly & provided a fabulous hamper of complimentary goodies on arrival - milk, eggs, fresh bread, cake, fruit, coffee, wine to name a few. Thank you this was really lovely! The kitchen is very well equipped and had everything we needed and more! We (3 generations of family aged 17 to 89) all loved it here and will definitely return. The only improvement I can think of is that given we visited in the summer, and therefore had the windows open, next time I’l...more
Thank you Kevin for a wonderful stay. As ever, you are so accommodating and friendly. We loved the cosiness, the wonderful views across the lake in autumn/winter, and the tranquillity. We even spotted a kingfisher! We loved Cirencester, and a circular South Cerney walk in the sun. This is our favourite hideaway by far.
What a wonderful find! The Oaks was everything we could hope for and more, for a relaxing long weekend with friends. I was congratulated on numerous occasions on having found the property and how marvellous it was! Amazing setting with the extensive views, the peace and quiet only disturbed by the occasional horse rider or mountain biker coming off the Mynd. The house was extremely well equipped as we catered for ourselves, we even had a go at using the aga! Lovely bedrooms, comfy and beautifully furnished as was the rest of the house. It certainly didn’t feel like a holiday rental more like s...more
Wonderful well maintained and equipped accommodation with eggs and bread on arrival. Excellent outside eating area and owner met us on arrival ensuring all in order.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Absolutely beautiful with everything you could need. Local pub and a lovely garden. Would absolutely return
We had a great family holiday and loved having the canoes etc on hire all week to use whenever we liked
We stayed at Wood View Barn as a group of 15 friends. The house was great with excellent technology options (TV, audio and cinema room) - ideal for watching the World Cup Football! It was also very clean and comfortably furnished. Sadly, the outdoor pool/games room was not heated so this was not usable in cold weather. The letting team were however very helpful and responsive. Overall, very pleased.
Accommodation really good. Well stocked with kitchen equipment. Rooms great size. Bed's really comfy. Lounge area lovely. Huge TV. Nice dining area. Outside dining also. Great safe area for dogs. Owner very friendly. Welcome hamper great produce and lovely eggs from the chickens. Barbecue and charcoal a bonus.
Spacious, clean and well provided. great to have the pool and ping pong with the dreadful weather that we had. Would like to go back and be able to cycle and walk more. The young children with us- in the Farmhouse did limit what we could do given the hail, lightning, wind and rain!!! Great fossils to be found in the local dale.
We found this accommodation absolutely perfect for our wedding celebration weekend. We had our two families stay with us so booking both cottages worked so well whilst still being able to socialise together in one cottage but having space to relax or breakfast separately. The large room worked really well as a Bridal room and felt really special to rerun to once we were married. The accommodation was beautifully decorated, very clean and well organised. The owner was lovely and very helpful and is on hand if you need them. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to make the two cottag...more
Well appointed property that was clean & tidy with plenty of small features, such as utensils, cutlery, soap and towels. Nice & quiet location yet convenient for travelling to many tourist sights and the local town and shops. If there was anything to mention that required attention, it would be that a couple of items of equipment and decor required fixing, such as the loose toilet button flush downstairs & one of the electrical sockets being unserviceable in the kitchen. Otherwise, we would be happy to visit again & would recommend it to others.
Another lovely stay at the wonderful Rosevean House. A special place that has everything you need and more to make a perfect holiday home with family or friends. We love St Agnes and the surrounding areas and the house provided a great base from which to explore the beaches, shops, bars and restaurants-all walking or staggering distance! Thanks for a lovely break!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at St. Corantyn Cottage, Spring Water Barns, on the Bonython Estate. It provided us with a charming, comfortable & civilised base from which to explore S. Cornwall.
We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful location, much helped by the weather. The Lodge was clean, easy to find and in a great location - close to all the Lakes with an excellent Lakeside Bar a few doors away. Food here was amazing as was the atmosphere. We enjoyed sitting on the decking and watching the water sports activity along with using the spot to explore and of course get on the water. The lodge whilst spotlessly clean is one of the older looking properties. Many neighbouring properties appeared to have been refurbished, whilst on the decking here some wood clearly needed replacin...more
The house is superb and it feels so spotless and clean on arrival. Its in a lovely quiet location. Its so very welcoming and certainly lives up to its write up. Scones and bubbly on arrival The living room is so spacious and the kitchen area is great for cooking and eating. It has all the amenities that you would expect from this type of rental. Good size fridge which I find so disappointing in so many homes. The bedrooms are all of a very good size and bathrooms are so clean and modern. The master suite is stunning. Beds are very comfy and towels so fluffy. I would thoroughly recomme...more
Our accommodation and location at The Belle cottage in Bakewell was fantastic. Just a short walk into the centre of Bakewell. Great parking facilities. We felt very comfortable there. Thank you for having us.
Lovely house, clean, comfortable, well equipped, and ideal location within the area and within the lake. Would Def stay again.
We stayed 8 nights on our five week roadtrip of northern England & Scotland. Elk Cottage was our base for the Lakes District & to attend 3 shows within a two hour drive. It worked perfectly for us. We've visited the U.K. many times since 1979 & this property was certainly one of the nicest houses we've been lucky enough to find. If anyone looking to stay here has any mobility problem, then note that there are steps between every room - one to four, plus eleven steps up to the master bedroom & 13 to the Eden suite. We left our two heavy suitcases downstairs in the formal dining room as I co...more
Great location. Very pleasant hosts and very well priced. Nice little extra comforts and great tourist and history info. Thoroughly Most enjoyable stay.
Thank you for a lovely stay. Everything was perfect! Particularly enjoyed the beautiful gardens and grounds.
Lovely group of cottages in beautiful countryside. Well kitted out, clean and warm. We really enjoyed the swimming pool which is a lovely temperature, along with the table tennis and small pool table. We would love to stay again, maybe with a large family group. Dog friendly too
We really enjoyed our stay as a large family made up of 3 generations! The views are breathtakingly beautiful and the beds are super comfy. The host was close and available for any issue/questions we had. Lots of memories made, we would recommend for any family retreat.
We had a lovely stay at Twitchers lodge, the location is amazing. However the accommodation is a little tired, the furniture has changed since the photos were taken and the inside needs a bit of TLC particularly the downstairs shower which needs a good bleach. There were only 3 champagne flutes, not ideal when a group of 4 is staying for a 60th celebration! Generally the crockery is a bit tired too with a few cracks and chips and some items of cutlery a bit sparse. One of the chairs on the terrace is also broken. These small things didn’t impact our stay particularly, but when marketing th...more
Lovely lodge cabin they are massive. showers and bath is great, the goody basket was lovely touch along with fridge goodies, kitchen had everything we needed. the area it’s self is so nice and cabin enclosed from other cabins my dogs absolutely loved it , the hot tub was cleaned every morning and always clean and warm. The only thing that was disappointing but we fished everyday and had no catch or no site of any fish but apart from that we loved it we were very lucky with the weather
Very comfortable stay in lovely convented barn, pictures probably don't do it justice. Some "rickety" furniture and perhaps could do with more outside furniture to enjoy the lovely garden for when it does stop raining
Couldn’t fault our stay - warm, clean, welcoming and excellent facilities. Can’t wait to head back there soon.
Another stay at this luxury property, everything you would ask for. Look forward to my future stays. Thank you
The cottages were in a great location, very quiet but within a short drive to Bakewell. I would describe the Farmhouse as rustic and unloved. The kitchen/dining room was a great size for our party of 23. We were able to join a trestle table from the kitchen to the dining table for us to sit at. The top oven did not work as well as the bottom oven and some of the shelves in the fridge door were missing (probably broken). There was a huge amount of crockery, glasses,cutlery(not teaspoons though), serving dishes and pots/pans. 2 dishwashers made cleaning up easy too. Would like to see a few homel...more
We enjoyed our stay but the lodge does need some TLC and a good clean. Door handles half hanging off in the bathroom and dusty windowsills and bedside tables. It would also benefit from a welcome booklet with information about the local area and instructions for the washing machine/dishwasher etc. Fabulous location-we loved South Cerney but we would not stay at Shelduck Lodge again unfortunately.
Great location for exploring the Peak District and Bakewell. Loved the pool which was very warm and perfect for rainy days
We enjoyed our stay at Swan Lake Lodge. There was a couple of small items missing from the kitchen that would have been useful : slotted spoon/potato peeler and corkscrew. The tumble dryer element of the washing machine doesn’t work which wasn’t ideal as we had a number of rainy days. The view is lovely and the apartment is spacious . The owner was easily and quickly contacted when we didn’t have the WiFi code. All in all it was a good choice and we very much enjoyed our week.
Booked with Farmhouse & Bramble. Great to have en-suite bathrooms, although decor a little old fashioned and rustic. Heating was either too hot or too cold. Great to have use of swimming pool & games room. Lacked some finishing touches.
