2nd time so much fun

We have styed at this delightful cottage on two separate occasions. Both times have been excellent. Egyptian cotton in every room, a tv in every room, ( including the bathroom!) Loads to justify excellent review.

A very relaxing place to unwind

The property was outstanding, the pictures don't do it justice. My wife loved the over large tub and the fireplace (which was set to light on arrival). There were snacks and eggs (which my sons loved), this place was like coming home. We liked being away from the city and using it as a base for stonehenge/bath/wells, etc... On leaving I wished I could have stayed longer. The hosts were very nice and welcoming as well, going out of their way to introduce themselves.

Great place to wind down

The property is situated in a peaceful location, with a secure enclosed garden for the dogs. There were plenty of places to walk without taking the car. The welcome pack on arrival included milk, eggs, bread, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and breakfast cereals - most welcome after a long journey. Dinah and Mark were very friendly and approachable and offered us a warm welcome - but this was unfortunately cut short by our two unruly dogs and our hungry and impatient baby grandson. The property was tastefully decorated, and the owners had thought of everything, including a TV in the en-suite! Definitely want to return to - if they'll have us back!

Sumptiously Comfortable!

Dinah and Mark have created a wonderful little retreat in the Old Diary. Everything is finished to top standards - the beds are so comfortable, water pressure & temperature is A1. There is even a TV in the bathroom!! We along with our dogs really enjoyed our stay & South Wraxall was a great location for exploring Somerset & Wiltshire with a lovely walk on the doorstep. Loved the home grown elegant tulips & eggs - especially the blue one! Thank you :)

2nd time, love this place

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in the old dairy and we again had a wonderful time. We love this place, the farm is so peaceful and quiet and the accommodation is lovely. Couldn't fault a single thing with the property. Its so well equipped and very comfortable. Dinah is very helpful and not intrusive at all. We still love the area and Bagh in general. Hoping to come back again in the future. Thanks for the wonderful stay

What a fantastic stay!

No expense spared in furnishing this property and we love love love all the luxurious details. A surprise awaits you in the master bedroom bathroom. We won't spoil it here. But that was the highlight of our stay. The accommodation was brand new, sparkling clean, bright and comfortable. Dinah was super friendly and quick to respond. One of my favourite holidays ever!

The old dairy is one of the most comfortable, well equipped places we have ever stayed. It has everything you need and more - lots of little luxuries to make it extra special. The location is great for exploring Bath and Bradford but there are some lovely walks on the doorstep too. Would definitely return!
