Guests say
Bengough's Annexe in Berkeley is a well-received cottage, praised for its tranquility, cleanliness, and character. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the peaceful location ideal for walks. The property's historic charm and responsive host add to the positive experience, although taller guests should mind the low ceilings. The enclosed garden is a bonus for pet owners.
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it was clean and tidy upon arrival.
The location is celebrated for its tranquility and proximity to local amenities and walks, though the access road's condition is noted.
Comfort is highly rated with mentions of comfortable beds and recliner sofas, but some guests suggest larger beds and improved wood burners for perfection.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen; however, some guests mention slow Wi-Fi and a preference for more efficient heating options.
While the reviews reflect a responsive host and mention of heating adjustments for guest comfort, there are no specific references to gifts or additional thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

A very good break by all, helped by the excellent annexe that we stayed in. The place is very accomodating with the facilities within. The warmth of the place was very good. It is set within a lovely area. The layout is very good and easy to get around. Myself and my family would highly reccomend this place to stay in

What a wonderful cottage it was, so cosy and warm. We went for the Christmas week and the only thing missing from our stay was a Christmas Tree. Hazel was so helpful and even put the heating on all day and night for us as it was so cold during our stay. Thank you so much for a lovely stay and we would definitely stay here again.
