    Everything was perfect. This is an exceptionally beautiful house in a charming rural location with railway station (Nailsea and Backwell) in fairly easy reach.

    Having a clock somewhere in the apartment would be useful but not a big issue.

    Beautiful location and stunning house with a very spacious apartment. Very clean and lovely breakfast brought to the room. Stayed for our wedding and the owner was very accommodating and helpful when needed.

    Nothing, it was great!

    We loved The Den - the setting is absolutely amazing, with a wonderful old house, walled garden, and a lovely walk up to the view at the top of the garden! The flat is amazing, so spacious, with everything you might need. They were so gracious in letting me use the pool in the mornings. The breakfasts were fab. There's a decent pub a 5-10 minute walk away, and right outside the pub is the bus into Bristol, which really doesn't take long at all. Highly recommended!

    All this week in August it was sunny but the day we came it rained bit it was still wonderful. Liz still opened the pool and even though it was cloudy we had a lovely time. I can only imagine what it's like if you have a sunny day. We had a lovely walk around the extraordinary gardens and got some great ideas for our own bug hotel. The rooms had everything you needed and our host couldn't be nicer if she tried. We were catching an extremely early flight the next day so thought rather than stay in a grotty airport hotel we justified the extravagance by bringing a picnic basket and a bottle of wine. We will definitely be going back. We are in a middle of doing a tour of The Pig Hotels ( we've done 3 now) and this place would fit in nicely.

    Stay was perfect, beautiful accomodation, spotlessly clean, got to spend 1.5 hours in their amazing outdoor pool alone which was heated and beautiful views. Son had own room. Lots of nice extra touches like handcream, nice shower gel, milk and juice and water in fridge and cereals already there as well as tea and coffee. Lovely host. Wife has just finished chemotherapy and lovely to be somewhere she could swim and so covid safe.

    Breakfast could have little more variation but that's not a criticism, perhaps some more local produce or botanicals for herbal teas, vegan options, homemade local preserves, seed mix for muesli? Just little touches

    Location was exceptional, welcome was warm and inviting, fridge had some nicely chilled goodies, grounds were spectacular. I would recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect quiet retreat where you have space to breath and recharge

    It is not a dislike, rather an observation. For a family staying with older children the set up is ideal. Ours were younger, and the distance between where we and they were sleeping, and the loo did cause our children some concerns.

    The flexibility of the breakfast arrangements, and the helpfulness of the owner were excellent. The 'Den' was superb.
