  • "Had a wonderful, relaxing stay in this lovely cottage."

    It was really homely and comfortable with everything you could ask for when self catering. I was after a peaceful environment where I could rest and recharge, and found this to be the perfect place. Ideally located, to explore the beautiful surrounding areas. The hosts were lovely and welcoming and took the time to give me a guided tour of the farm and village which I really appreciated. Thank you for a lovely stay and I hope to be back again soon.

  • "Thank you for a wonderful stay and first holiday as a family of four!"

    The cottage is a great location, around 20-30mins drive from Cheddar, Clevedon, Bristol, Bath and Weston Super Mare so we found plenty to do in the local area. Local pub and restaurant a short walk away. Chew Valley Animal farm was a great day out for us just a short drive away and Chew Magna has some lovely restaurants. Cottage is perfectly equipped and the owners are lovely, welcoming us with fresh flowers and eggs from the farm, as well as a daily chat and recommendations for the area. My son loved the free roaming animals and built a special love for the black lab, Betty, he was very sad to leave her. Bedrooms are great size and the whole place was cosy and like a home from home, we were all very sad to leave and hope to stay again soon. Thank you Jane and Dave for a great week.

    Farmer Dave was so lovely, many a chat! Beautiful location, clean & comfortable accommodation. Watch out Bristol has a CLEAN AIR ZONE CHARGE. This affects a lot of journeys to avoid the zone, using single track roads, adding to journey time.

  • "Very warm welcome on arrival, with fresh eggs."

    Cosy well equipped cottage. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Ice compartment in fridge kept our meat frozen. Don't bring too much though. Lovely rural setting, all the rain over Christmas didn't dampen our spirits. Look forward to our return. Hopefully with better weather. Only comment over our 2 week stay would be a better mattress on the double bed. Bear in mind it is a bit remote & internet may be dodgy. Having said that trying to get anything fixed over Christmas is difficult & was working well when we left. Thank you Jane & Dave for a lovely peaceful holiday.

We experienced noise from the attached cottage, from people standing around talking very loudly and from various vehicles including a motor bike.

    This was one of the best holidays we had in the UK. We were touched by warm welcome from Jane and Dave.

It was amazing to be able to follow Dave around the farm, watch the cows being fed and talk to such a kindhearted person. Thank you so much, Dave and Jane, for looking after us. We will truly miss you. The cottage is located on a family run farm, it is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended for families with children or anyone wishing to escape from city life to the beautiful countryside.

Family have owned the farm for over 200 years and real privilege to be their guests. Location was great for exploring the local area and Bristol/Bath although is very rural so expect narrow country lanes. Recommend arranging delivery from a supermarket as nothing in close proximity.
