Lovely house, was very easy to check in, there was only one TV in the house which with three children we could have done with another one. Other than that it was great!

Thank you, Joanne, for your lovely feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the house and the easy check-in. I appreciate your suggestion about the TV, and I’ll definitely consider it for future improvements. We’d love to welcome you back soon!
Sehr gemütlicher Ort, sehr gemütliche Unterkunft, Busanbindung nach Bath nur 50 m entfernt. Kleine Mankos: i) große Autos kommen die Rampe nicht hoch, aber Parken an der Straße ist möglich. Ii) Schlafräume incl Betten knarzen ordentlich.
