Very comfortable and well equipped cottage and better than its description as the main bedroom now has a king-size bed (very comfortable), the bathroom has been nicely refurbished and now has a shower over the bath and there is a smart TV. Location is in a really nice village with lovely countryside walks just outside the door. We visited Bristol, Read moreBath, and Chedder Gorge, all of which are easy to get to by car. All in all a very nice place to stay. Hide

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage, located within an easy drive of the Park and Rides for either Bristol or Bath. Cheddar gorge and Longleat 40 mins away made great days out. The quiet village location and large enclosed garden were great to unwind after a day exploring.

We loved Ivy cottage, everything we needed was available for us to use. We was a little worried about the heating being storage heaters, but there was no need it was lovely and warm all the time. The cottage was very clean and cosy. The hot water is run on an emersion tank, after one guest had a bath the hot water run out, wasn't a problem for the Read morerest of us as we used the shower located off the kitchen downstairs. location was perfect for us as we didn't want to be in the centre of Bath.

Cottage in a country location down a narrow road. The owners had thoughtfully provided a welcome pack for our arrival which was great. Plenty of space for the two of us and a gated area to park the car. Not too far from the park and ride to get into Bristol and there are plenty of NT properties around to visit. A large garden which we didn't get toRead more appreciate due to the weather. A car is needed to get the best from this property. Hide

Although most of the roads around it were closed for our visit (pre-warned by hosts) making access a little more difficult, it is a beautiful and quiet location.
