Old stables

Beautiful property in a quiet location. Plenty of space for our group of six and 4 month old baby. Sue provided a travel cot last minute and organised an earlier check in for my son in law to have a team meeting She sorted everything for us over the phone before check in Would happily return Frances

Buen sitio rodeado de campo

Recién reformado y todo en buenas condiciones. El único pero la casa estaba muy fría el primer día. Buenos caminos cerca para paseos y bicis.

Amazing

Stunning house and location, there was nothing it did not have from Kitchen equipment, washing facilities and toys/games for the whole family. We were welcomed by a fantastic food hamper. We had lovely log fire in the evening. Our grandson loved the Llama's in the next field. Overall I can not fault the property. Fantastic time had by my whole family would definitely recommend it and visit again. Just one piece of advise if you go into Bath it is much easier to get the train from Chippenham rather than parking in the city.
