This charming house provided a perfect venue for an unforgettable weekend. My daughters were delighted the Mulberry shop was five minutes away. Hot tub enjoyed by all. ##### Patricia A. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rosamund b. 6 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A beautiful, large rustic manor in Sommerset about an hours drive from Bristol and Bath. Tasteful furnished, a lot of space and decent amenities to suit all tastes. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and conveniently located. Management was quickly responsive to requests and kindly afforded us more heating to accommodate one of our older family membersCheck-in instructions were succinct although we found the lockbox a little fiddly especially since we arrived after sundown in freezing temperatures. My sons loved the hot tub in the beautiful garden which I hope we will have another opportunity to enjoy one summer. This was an excellent post Christmas trip with family and I would recommend this venue to anyone. ##### rosamund b.
