Lovely to find such a stylish farm cottage. Excellent venue to enjoy peace of the farm and countryside and the amenities of Bath. Beautiful area – just as well – as cottage so nice didn’t want to go out! Recommend Longleat for day(s) out and Castle Combe like a fairy tale. Lovely to have bubble bath and hamper on arrival – we have been in the area but normally travel from Inverness. Thank you for your hospitality. Lovely stay. And the fresh flowers gorgeous!!
