  Had a lovely bank holiday weekend stay with my family of 10 at the Old Stables.

  ( 6 adults & 4 Children) The conservatory has wonderful views and the property was warm and welcoming. 3 beautifully appointed upstairs bedrooms all with en-suit bathrooms . The ground floor didn't quite work for us as there is a room with bunk beds and a pull out sofa in the lounge. As some of the children were young they needed/wanted to be closer to their parents so we had adults using the sofa bed and bunks. That said, there were 10 of us and feel it would be perfect for 3 couples upstairs and older children on the ground floor. The Kitchen was very well equipped with everything and I mean everything you could think of... it has a 'shared' laundry room and other than not finding a broom , has everything available to use. I think my only negative was, there is a separate attached East Wing. This became occupied on our second day. There are no boundaries set and it was a little uncomfortable when the people there entered through the shared laundry room and sat on the garden chairs directly outside the stables. Looks like we are sharing a garden, they said !.........I couldn't say either way as I didn't know either. The pool house is warm and the water is too, great for young children . There are towels to use and although a little dated, was a great hit with the children. To get to the pool house, you need to go out through the garden and this needs better signage or even ' a sign' Overall, a lovely place to stay but maybe needs an easier booking system of pool sessions and some clarity of the grounds use with others!...

  The Old Stables is a lovely barn conversion with stunning views.

  It is comfortable and well equipped. But there are some issues that need sorting out. First and foremost is gaining entry on arrival. We were given a four digit code to access the key safe for entry to the property. There is no key safe, so we had to text the owners. (They have impaired hearing so voice calling is out of the question.) Fortunately they live close by and a lady came and let us in. Thankfully it wasn't raining while we were waiting. There are several windows with broken latches. A shower cubicle with a light that doesn't work. A heated towel rail that leaked water. The patio doors leading from the conservatory are very difficult to lock from the inside, we could only manage it from the outside then re enter the property through the kitchen patio door. These issues didn't spoil our stay but they need sorting out especially as this is a very expensive place to stay. Don't be put off from booking this property, the swimming pool is a real bonus and there are beautiful walks on your doorstep.

  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.

  We were warmly welcomed by the owner, who was very helpful.

  Property is well equipped and was very clean. Ideal location for day trips to Bristol, easy to get to the park and ride. Great views from the property, and we enjoyed the outdoor space and local walks, especially the footpath to Dundry village. One minor issue: the proximity to Bristol airport's flight path. Flights stop at night and we became used to the daytime air traffic as our stay progressed, but we feel that it should be mentioned in the listing. Thank you, Richard, for making us so welcome.

  I have stayed in many holiday homes over the years but none as well-equipped as this one, it was a real bonus.

  The house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable and suited all ages including the children. Everyone loved the pool! The view from the garden room is stunning and the nearby walks (especially over to the viaduct and its nearby pubs) were great. Visits to nearby Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Cheddar Gorge made it an ideal location. If I had just the tiniest niggle it would be to have more comfortable sofas in the lounge but really, we loved our stay there and would recommend it to anyone.
