Guests that stayed at this property said

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests noting it is 'immaculately presented' and 'very clean'. One minor comment mentioned a lack of hand soap in one bathroom, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.

The villa's location is frequently commended for being easy to find, with ample parking and a short walk into Frome. The proximity to Bath, Bristol, and local amenities adds to its appeal, although one review mentioned a preference for additional nearby bathroom facilities.

Guests rave about the comfort of the beds and the cosy underfloor heating. The spaciousness of the rooms and the quality of the bedding contribute to the overall comfort of the stay. The only slight discomfort mentioned relates to temperature variations in different parts of the house.

The villa is praised for its well-stocked kitchen, large garden, and hot tub. However, several reviews suggest that additional bathrooms would improve the experience, especially given the property's size. The hot tub also received a comment about water quality over time.

While many reviews express gratitude for the host's attentiveness and the well-thought-out amenities, there is no specific mention of gifts provided by the host. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category based on the available information.

    Very highly recommended. Children loved the cellar and made it their own. They did not want to leave and described it as 'best holiday ever' Likewise the 'well' feature is a clever and attractive concept. The only very minor problem was not taking a 2 to 3 pin plug converter as the en suite does not have a shaver socket so I could not charge my razor or electric toothbrush. OK for a short stay but not anything longer. Hope to return for another stay in the future.

    It is a lovely space to hang out and cook with a well equipped kitchen and living room. I would also like to mention that the host Marcus was brilliant. Really responsive, helpful and friendly. Thank you for everything!

    The dishwasher was hard work to pack and the grass could have really done with a cut as was too long to play football with the kids.
