If returning to the area in the future we would certainly consider Yate Cottage for our accommodation. My only small criticism is that the entrance vestibule could be better illuminated, and more brightly decorated as the dark stone floor and the three dark stone steps are difficult to see, and great care needs to be taken. Brighter lighting and decoration would be of great help.
