We stayed five nights in Helen’s Coach House and we really enjoyed it. The house has everything you need - nice kitchen, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, comfortabele beds and a private parking space in the small garden. Helen is a great and very helpful and responsive host. Mere is small but nice and a perfect base to discover the area. The local shops have everything you need and the local pub (Walnut Tree Inn) is great for Sunday roast. We visited Bath, Frome, Shaftesbury and Salisbury and enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended!

Great stay.

Coach House was the perfect location for our short break. The rustic cottage is comfortable, clean and has all the facilities needed for a home from home stay. The host was very friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome. The village is quiet and picturesque with several pubs, takeaways and small shops.

Very quaint, excellent location, some of the furniture is a bit worn, and a coffee table in the lounge is needed. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook a Christmas dinner! And the Christmas tree was such a nice touch.
