  We stayed here to celebrate my 60th birthday.

  This is a beautiful house with a lovely garden in a beautiful location. We did swim in the freshwater pond and it really did add to the experience including the pond life. The games room was a great extra and we made good use of the table tennis table. Plenty of space downstairs for 8 people but I would say that the beds did not feel enough for 8 adults, the 4th room with the trundle bed would be better for children and we had to move the chest of drawers onto the landing to extend the trundle bed and leave room for 2 adults. This house is very much the owners home and it felt strange at first because very personalised. We loved the decor downstairs but again the upstairs was a bit too much like staying with a relative for a few nights particularly the 2 childrens rooms. No wardrobe space in the bedrooms except for the master where a space had been made among the owners belongings. Very little drawer space and many of the drawers were filled with clothing and underwear belonging to the owners children. I had the master suite which had a lovely bathroom and views of the garden. Im not sure my family were particularly impressed with their sleeping arrangements but were too polite to say as I had paid. Four bathrooms with great showers in all of them. We had a fabulous week in the house but there are improvements that could be made particularly upstairs

  We were a family of 3 generations and had a great week at the house.

  The gardens are gorgeous and the rooms are all beautifully furnished and the upstairs games room was priceless as it kept the two youngest very happy for hours on end playing ping pong and watching TV. Our favourite thing however hands down, was the swimming pond and we went in it almost daily, come rain or shine. It was also lovely just to sit next to it and watch the reflections of the clouds in the water, the swallows dive into it by day and the bats flutter around it by night. The children made full use of the hot tub, and we loved having the horses behind the house and enjoyed the eggs we were given from the chickens. The house is in a fantastic location with so many places to see within a short drive. We managed trips to Clifton, Tyntesfield House, Ashton Court (not that exciting in itself but the cafe is worth visiting), Bath, Symonds Yat and a coastal walk near Weston Super Mere. We also visited the local village shop (Honey & Ginger) and the Failand Inn pub for a meal. Waitrose and Tesco were only about a 10 minute drive away in Nailsea, I would definitely recommend staying here and I've already had a couple of friends ask for the details to the house.

  We spent a week with our son at Annex Chetnole over the Summer Bank Holiday period.

  The perfect location for us being close to Bristol and well within striking distance of Wells, Bath and Weston Super Mare. There are plenty of more local attractions. We spent half a day at Chew Valley Lake and the nearby village of Chew Magna. The Dundry Arms and The Blue Bowl served excellent food and are both well worth a visit. The property met all our needs, was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the consumables and equipment that we have at home with the exception of a washing machine. A nice touch was the Dolce Gusto coffee machine along with a selection of pods. The decked patio was a lovely place to relax with great views in all directions. The owner Richard was very friendly and always available on the rare occasions that we needed him. The welcome pack of fresh milk and eggs was very well received. We would definitely consider revisiting in future.

  Wonderful

  We had a wonderful time at Dyrham House. It was so lovely for the children (and us) to have so much space right there for them. Favourite things were the brook (where we managed to net and release some small fish and shrimps) and the hammock in the vegetable garden, cricket and badminton without leaving the gardens! Our daughter spent a lot of time learning to play a tune on the piano and loved the fully equipped kitchen where she baked cupcakes for an afternoon tea that we all enjoyed outside due to the good weather. I also wanted to mention Pauline, who already has our thanks - our youngest left some cuddly toys behind and only realised as we walked in the door on our return. Pauline's prompt response that they were safe and sound with her saved the day! He's looking forward to them arriving back home in the post; it was very kind of her to return them so quickly.
