About this property

Family friendly accommodation overlooking stream and beautiful garden

Beautiful stone built coach house, nestling at the foot of the Mendips with many wonderful walks straight from the door. The Coach House was built in 2012 in the grounds of the owners' own home, but far enough away, so privacy is always maintained although we are more than happy to help with any queries that our guests may have.
The front door opens onto a small entrance hall containing a sink (for washing those muddy boots after walks) and a washing machine, together with ample storage cupboards containing iron, ironing board and pegs for the clothes line just outside the coach house. There is also a small freezer in this area for guests' use. The rest of the accommodation is on the first floor, reached by an internal staircase. There are two bedrooms containing comfy beds, one with a king size bed and a wash hand basin and the other with two single beds. There are blackout blinds in both bedrooms ( as well as curtains) for a great night's sleep. There is a stylish shower room with velux window and a large beamed living area containing fully equipped modern kitchen including Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother and sitting area with picture window overlooking the beautiful garden.
Outside, next to the Coach House, there is a wooden table and chairs (and parasol) where you can enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine, New this year is a lovely wooden swing seat, to while away the hours with a good book! This seating area is situated next to the Langford Brook, which runs through the garden. There is a wooden bridge giving immediate access to the garden and guests are very welcome to explore the garden, and the few chickens and ducks are always happy to be thrown your food scraps! When available, guests may collect the eggs.
There is a table tennis table in the covered area next to the door to the Coach House, which guests are welcome to use.
There is ample parking space next to the Coach House. The property is situated in Lower Langford, a pretty village with amenities such as a local, popular, pub and a well-stocked supermarket and petrol station, both of which are open 24 hours a day.
There are the historic cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells, all within 45 minutes drive or less, with their many attractions.
For those with children, there are many child friendly visitor attractions in the area, such as Court Farm Animal Park, or Noah's Ark Zoo Farm.
Because we live nearby, we are often on hand to answer any queries you may have, and to suggest places to visit and things to do. If, however, you prefer to make your own discoveries, we will not intrude.
We want you to have a wonderful time in this idyllic part of Somerset.

Die Unterkunft war wirklich toll! Die Wohnung ist sehr einladend und sauber. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen Aufenthalt benötigt. Es gibt auch viele Spielsachen (Brettspiele, Schaufeln, Federballschläger, Tischtennisblatte) für Kinder. Unsere Gastgeberin Liz war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Anwesen und der Garten sind groß, die Kinder durften die Hühner füttern und haben täglich mit dem kinderlieben Hund gespielt.In der Region gibt es viel zu unternehmen, z.B. Ausflüge nach Bristol, Wells, Bath oder Clevedon.

Loved it!

One of the best places we have ever stayed at. So well thought out, even different coloured towels for each guest! The outside space and gardens are wonderful. The views amazing. Owner really welcoming and really cared about our experience. It was an absolute pleasure to return to after exploring the area. Beds really comfortable (loved the bird pattern bedding). 100% chance of us rebooking.

Fantastic place to stay

Wonderful property and a beautiful garden to relax in. We had a great short stay (would have liked much longer). Fantastic location for Weston/bristol/glstonbury/wells/bath etc. Also great to have such a short walk to a nice pub (another nights stay and we would have loved to have eaten there) brilliant host, many thanks. We hope to come back.

A little gem

Well equipped spotless accommodation. As the living space is on the first floor we had glorious views through the tree canopy into the garden which we were able to wander around. Easy parking and fabulous pub within a two minute walk. Welcome pack and the delivery of six eggs from Liz's chickens were a nice touch. Lovely stay.

Beautiful countryside cottage

We had the most wonderful 6 days staying at the Coach House. The accommodation was spotless, cosy and very well equipped and is situated in a picturesque village with gorgeous views through the huge windows onto the owners lovely garden (which you are welcome to explore). It is a great area for walking and is easily accessible (by car) for trips to Bath, Bristol, Wells and Cheddar Gorge. Liz and Rick are very friendly and on hand if need be. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future.

Peace and tranquility in a charming village setting

A lovely, well-equipped property with a fantastic view of a gorgeous private garden space (complete with swings, hammocks) through the large windows that is especially wonderful to see first thing in the morning. Also, the host was very welcoming, very generous and offered a very comprehensive and much appreciated welcome pack. Highly recommended.

Incredible find!

This may be the best property on VRBO! We had an incredible 4 night stay at the Coach House. It's well laid out; beds, pillows, and linens are all very comfortable, and everything is provided that you could possibly need. Liz is an incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful host. She had fresh muffins, eggs and cucumbers, waiting when we arrived, as well as milk and cookies for the girls and a bottle of wine for my husband and me! The gardens and property are beautiful and quiet. It was truly a restorative oasis for us and a wonderful country break before we headed to London. You can walk to grocery store and a lovely inn with amazing food, and Liz provides recommendations for anything you could need. You will not find a better place anywhere!

We consider this to be the best we have ever stayed in throughout all our many self-catering holiday

The photographs in the brochure indicated a very attractive dwelling but the reality when we actually arrived for our stay exceeded our expectations. The upstairs living provided, through the large windows, a panoramic view of the very large lawn area and beautiful garden which we had full access to. The living area was spacious, spotlessly clean and had ample facilities for 4 people to utilise. Attention to detail was a very pleasing aspect of the property and the eggs, milk, cake, fizz, coffee,tea etc was a welcome of the highest order. Liz and Rick were such pleasant hosts always willing to chat and answer any question we had regarding the area we hoped to explore. There is little more we can add except to say we very highly recommend this property to anyone who appreciates ‘quality’. We will certainly look forward to staying there in the near future. Peter A.

Great location, great hosts

We had a wonderful stay at Liz and Rick's place in Langford. The town is quaint and small, but not lacking in amenities. It's also perfectly situated to visit many local sites and towns/ cities.The rooms had everything we needed to relax, but also to make our own meals. The tranquil garden setting was beautiful to wake up to each morning. Our hosts provided plenty of information and advice about local towns, sites and restaurants. We really didn’t want for anything. I would recommend this place to others and would certainly stay there again.Thanks to Liz and Rick for such a lovely place to start our holiday adventures.

Großartig und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen!

Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in Sommerset. Das Kutschenhaus ist schön gelegen, sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Es ist toll, dass man den Garten nutzen kann - für Kinder ist genug Platz zum Schaukeln und toben. In der Umgebung gibt es jede Menge anzusehen und schöne Wandermöglichkeiten. Die Gastgeber sind für Fragen gut und schnell erreichbar und sehr, sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kommen bestimmt mal wieder!

Mendip Cottage

This is the coziest place. Absolutely loved the big wall of windows letting in natural light and overlooking a beautiful open garden. Super clean and well stocked. I have a thing about dull kitchen knives-useless and annoying. Not the case here, I was surprised to have an an array of nicely sharpened knives. The hosts had left us fresh eggs from their own chickens, along with all the fixings for an English breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Wunderschön

Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in der Unterkunft - die Wohnung ist genau wie beschrieben und bebildert und bietet viel Platz für vier Personen. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut, wir wurden sogar mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen empfangen. In dem großen Garten oder am Haus kann man wunderschön sitzen, lesen, Federball spielen, entspannen, ... auch die Tischtennisplatte haben wir ausgiebig genutzt. Liz ist eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin; die Kommunikation, auch im Vorfeld, lief sehr gut :) Im Ort selbst haben wir nichts unternommen, aber es ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Es gibt einen Bus, mit dem man gut nach Bristol kommt und auch eine Direktverbindung nach Weston-Super-Mare (bis ca. 17 Uhr). Ein Auto vor Ort zu haben, ist dennoch sehr empfehlenswert. Den örtlichen Pub haben wir leider nicht mehr besucht - er sieht aber einladend aus. Nur eine schöne Joggingstrecke vor Ort haben wir nicht gefunden. Alles in allem ist die Unterkunft sehr zu empfehlen! Wir haben die 14 Tage dort sehr genossen, auch unsere beiden schon großen Jungs (16+18). Gerne wieder

Perfect place to wind down with wonderful host

It really is the perfect place for people who like English country feeling with a huge garden with swings and old trees, chicken, and a little stream flowing next to your terrace. Way more than average equipped almost newly renovated flat. Lots of sun and charm and everything you might be looking for inlcuding a nespresso maker and and frother. Perfect for families. Elizabeth is the most wonderful and friendly host, who did evertyhing she could to make us feel welcome and at home. Only the master bed could do with a little updating on the matress, but this is really a minor thing. Big recommendation!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Hyde

Host profile image
My husband and I chose to live in this idyllic part of Somerset 18 years ago in order to be near Bristol where we both worked at the time. Now, neither of us work there and our younger daughter will soon finish school in Bristol, but we love being in the countryside but within about half an hour of Bristol, Bath and Wells.
The accommodation is mainly on the first floor of a stone built coach house. It shares a driveway with our home, which is about 40m from the coach house, but far enough away to give you complete privacy. Obviously, we are more than happy to help or answer any questions you may have.
Our home and the coach house are situated in a large garden, with orchard, ducks and chickens which guests are very welcome to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We moved here in 1997 when our first daughter was due. The Coach House was built in 2012. The space on the ground floor is used for storing garden furniture, BBQ, bikes and table tennis table with the Coach House on the upper floor to take advantage of the splendid views.
Our house is situated about 100ft away from the Coach House.
We love living here - it is easy to get to Bristol,Bath, Wells or the coastal resorts of Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare to name but a few. The walking is superb with the Mendips literally on our doorsteps. Golfers are spoilt for choice, and mountain biking and riding is popular around here too.
We have fantastic cycle tracks nearby such as The Strawberry Line along a disused railway line linking various villages with pubs and coffee shops en route.

What makes this property unique

There is a fully fitted new kitchen, but if you don't want to cook, there is a very good local pub, The Langford, within 5 minutes walking distance, which serves local beers, wines and good food. There are other highly rated pubs in surrounding villages, a short drive or bike ride away.

There is a well stocked medium sized supermarket, with petrol station, at the other end of the village. This stays open 24/7, so you never need to worry about running out of anything!

We have a few chickens in a separate area of the garden, and we are happy for you to share the eggs.

We know this area well, and are always happy to share our knowledge.
