Totally lovely
We loved our stay at Chris & Rob's beautiful annexe. It is so welcoming and well equipped - everything we needed for our stay. It is in a great location too - we walked into Shaftesbury a number of times for coffee and meals, and is an easy drive to many walks and other attractions. We would recommend it for a stay.

Amazing stay
Stanley's house was perfect. I cant understand some of the reviews that claim some of the furniture is a bit worn.... the house has charm and has the sense of travelling around the world (which Stanley has) without ever leaving and feeling extremely helpful. Special thanks for the hat from your collection for the wedding i attended (which i returned). Would definitely recommend

The Byre Lois Farm
Our hosts, Tanya and Chris, made us feel very welcome over the whole stay. The rooms in the barn are very generous in size and the facilities are outstanding. If you are looking for a quiet rural retreat in beautiful Somerset, this is the place for you.

Delightful historic home stay
We found the property to be quite charming with its aged historic features and gorgeous scenic setting. We were comfortable and found the home well equipped and furnished for our needs. I think it is important for visitors to know the property is at the entrance to the National Trust gardens at Stourhead and hence receives a large number of visitors walking past the front door all day, everyday. Busy by day and peaceful by night. Thanks for a lovely stay.
