The house was perfect for 4 males. Each having their own spacious rooms.
The location was perfect as everything was literally a short stroll.
The check in & check out process was super easy...how it should be.
Will book again for next year.

Thankyou so much for the wonderful review Greg. Be sure to contact us at Bright Escapes when you want to rebook. Regards the team at Bright Escapes.
Easy, clear instructions for entry. Loved how the lights and the heater were on when we arrived. It was so welcoming. The property was clean and tidy inside and out. We chose for the location (once we arrived just walked everywhere) and that is was dog friendly. The whole property is secure and was great for our Dachshund and Grandchildren. We could not have asked for any as everything was very well thought out. Thank you for making our visit to Bright perfect.HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I enjoyed a very comfortable stay, as the accomodation was clean, tidy and functional. It’s in such a great location that you can easily walk to the river as well as all the great shops and eateries that Bright has to offer. Highly recommend.
Beautiful house with everything you could want. Beds were comfy. Very clean and tidy. Easy little stroll to the main streets of Bright and the Brewery and supermarket
