A very comfortable stay at the Chicken Shed and due to the fact of being on one level made access to everywhere good. In a nice area in lovely countryside and a good position for Bath and surrounding towns.

From the distance from our home to being able to walk the surrounding countryside paths, the weekend was perfect. Would recommend to anyone seeking simply to get away from it all!
