The Yew Tree Cottage was everything it promised! The hosts, Marie-France and Mark were friendly and informative. The cottage was clean and well appointed. The grounds and gardens were lovely. Very peaceful and calm. The location was convenient to both Bath and Bristol. It was the perfect spot for our introduction to the English countryside.

Beautiful BNB Close to Bristol

This is a lovely bnb - clean, bright, quiet, modern, and with all of the amenities necessary for a long-term or short stay. The hosts were conscientious and helpful. I'd definitely stay there again and recommend it highly to anyone who's looking for a nice place close to Bristol.

The hosts are friendly, and helpful but very respectful of guests’ privacy. A wonderful base for a walking holiday. Walking routes can start right out the door Bath is only 10 minute walk plus 30 minutes by local bus. There is a M&S to buy food at the Bath bus/train station, but also one small shop in Wick for immediate first day shopping. The Bath train station allows for day-trips to great Cotswolds villages/towns and a great destination for a bookstore, and clothes shopping. The Bristol to Bath pathway is 45 minutes walk away. There is a local bus to Bristol. The countryside is amazing.

Perfect location and lovely property

We couldn't have asked for more, warm and cisy, extremely comfortable bed, all appliances and facilities you could need and really well located for both Bath and Bristol. There's also a lovely pub in the village where we had an excellent Sunday roast, and loads of lanes and footpaths to explore all round the property. We hope to come again.

The Anex at Yew Cottage provided comfortable accommodation and the location was ideal for our day trips to Wales and Devon. Waking up to see the lovely gardens was a delight. The owners are pleasant, kind and take great care of the property.

Splendid cottage on great location

The Annexe is a beautiful cottage. Very nicely reconstructed and carefully decorated and maintained, spacious and with a great and huge garden around. It was very clean and well equipped. Also the location is great: in the countryside, but close to Bath, Bristol and the Cotswolds; walks directly from the house possible, and restaurants, pubs and a big supermarket at a reasonable distance. Mark and Marie-France are very friendly and warm hosts. We had a splendid stay. Highly recommended.

Excellent property

We loved staying in the annex. The accommodation was comfortable and very clean. Kitchen was spacious and contained everything you need. The gardens are beautiful and add to the tranquility of the location. We loved taking walks in the area and visited lots of area attractions including Wells and Stonehenge. Marie was the perfect host.

Great stay;

Very cosy accommodation, with wonderful gardens all around. Very handy for visiting lots of interesting places, including Bath city centre. The hosts were very welcoming and included a lovely welcome basket of their fresh eggs, cake and fudge, with a bottle of milk in the fridge. The location is rural and beautiful, but you have to drive to any shops or eating places.

Delightful accommodation in excellent location

I really enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable and at home here. A lot of accommodation for two people is often overly “cosy”, in short a bit cramped and claustrophobic. This is certainly not the case here and all the rooms are a reasonable size. It is all finished off in very good taste. I have every expectation of returning. The location is very convenient for visiting the attractions of the region. The accommodation itself is in an attractive location on the edge of a village

Really nice accommodation for two people in a lovely location. Hosts gave us a very warm welcome. Property was very clean and well equipped (except no kitchen scales!). Ideal spot from which to explore a large number of attractions. Thoroughly recommend it.

Very nice annex, ideal for short stay for a couple. It is clean and tidy and well equipped. The garden is very nice, but the local area lacks any interesting features. There are plenty of places worth visiting, though, within driving distances.
