The Loft was spotlessly clean, is very spacious and has everything you need. The mobile signal was very poor but free wifi is available and the property manager was very responsive to emails and extremely accommodating to my late return at nights due to a change of times on my course. I highly recommend this property and hope to return quite soon to explore the area some more. ##### Claire H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy B. 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious well-appointed loft in rural idyllic setting In a village short of holiday accommodation this is a welcome find for anyone keen to enjoy the delights of Mells and the surrounding area. The studio flat works well and is near enough to the village that the car can be dispensed with for a few days of simplicity. Little touches by the host make it feel very welcoming, and the loft is perfectly well appointed. The Talbot Inn (Weds-Sun) and Walled Garden (daily to 5pm) offer local possibilities for eating out. ##### Andy B.

Huge space, spotlessly clean & comfortable with really fast WiFi. Mells is a beautiful village with a great pub 10 mins walk from the Loft. Easy to get to Frome, Bath etc. Would definitely return. ##### James A. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte A. 29 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super friendly! I would highly recommend staying here! We came for a short weekend away and it was perfect. Lisa went above and beyond for us when trying to organise the trip as well as being so welcoming while we were there. The place is gorgeous and has everything you need. We will definitely be coming to stay again ##### Charlotte A. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki L. 31 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Loft We had a wonderful peaceful stay here. The property is clean, attractive and very well equipped. Lisa was very responsive to questions and on hand without being at all intrusive. The area is beautiful, with amazing walks from the apartment. The pub in the village serves lovely food, served by attentive staff. Nearby Frome is lovely too, with lots of independent shops and reataurants. We were so close to Bath yet we had no desire to go, the countryside and surrounding area was too attractive. The only thing that would have made our stay totally perfect was a bigger bed, but that’s just personal preference. Thank you, we would love to stay again in the future. ##### Vicki L.
