Perfect for what we wanted as a hen weekend. Having separate cottages was great for the ones who wanted it quieter. Pool and hot tub lovely, quiet location The main house is all on one level. Kitchen not massive but communal space is a good size
Lovely venue! Great host! Would recommend!
Nice place, good size. Only stayed for 2 nights but would be happy to book again. Thanks very much for your help
Really enjoyed our stay here. This spot is a gem and perfect for what we were looking for, with nice privacy, beautiful scenery and great to have access to local pubs, shops and restaurants within walking distance. It was a nice touch with the homemade bread. Hope to maybe someday return and thanks for a positive first experience.
A fantastic place in a fantastic location! Our kids loved the pool table and E was an excellent host... Heartily recommended for a wonderful stay in a beautiful location. Thanks again E! All the best, Richard

Great place and very spacious. Lovely little tips with local walks, taxi numbers, etc. Not far from Bath either for day trips. I can highly recommend Elle’s place.
This is a great place to stay as a group, plenty of space and the pool is an excellent addition. A lot more included than you would expect and very easy and close to Bath centre. The host was lovely and very helpful
