The property is well located for visiting Bath, Wells, Bristol and many other locations. The hosts are wonderful and presented a beautiful residence for our stay. We did not want for anything more.

Well positioned and comfy
It was a great base for our Bath holiday and our hosts were incredibly welcoming
We stayed at the Lower Brook Cottage for 3 nights while attending a wedding. Location was good for where we needed to be. Pubs and everything within 15 min drive.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet place, very comfy. Fully equipped, wifi, tv, everything you need in a kitchen
But also very closed to Bath(15 minutes), and Bristol(30 minutes)
We will definitely go back again
Sally and Steve are a very nice couple, they have answered all our questions
Es war alles da, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.
Sehr schönes, sauberes Haus mit einem großem Garten.
Steve & Sally sind wirklich sehr freundliche Gastgeber.
Absolut zu empfehlen

This is an amazing cottage in the middle of very beautiful English countryside, like one would see in the Miss Marple series. It is very thoughtfully furnished and organised - there was everything one would need for a stay - comfortable beds, nice seating area, lots of storage space, all the necessary toiletries in the bathroom and condiments in the kitchen. We had everything we could wish for, even the egg cups were there! We found the house very clean and also very well maintained. There is a nice green lawn behind the house, where we had our breakfast. The surroundings are very peaceful and safe. Lots of possibilities for walking and exploring. The hosts, Sally and Steve are super friendly, welcoming and helpful. We only regret having to leave so soon and not having enough time to enjoy the cottage and the garden more. Thanks a lot for having us, we'd love to be back!
Both the home and location were everything we had envisioned . Supremely quiet broken only by the clip clop of hooves and the early morning chorus. Steve met us on site and gave us a comprehensive introduction to the 0property. It totally exudes a homely feel that is evident the moment you step across the doormat. Beautifully presented and equipped with everything that you may need for a weeks stay. After each day of exploring, we came " home" to our very own place. Wonderful. I cannot but recommend Steve & Sally's vacation rental to all who aspire to a comfortable country holiday. An unqualified 11 / 10. Thanks guys. You absolutely deserve the kudos.
Had a wonderful stay at Lower Brook Cottage and could not fault the place. The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a short break. The garden is huge and more than room for a dog to exercise and across the road is a huge field with countryside pathways across it and you can genuinely walk for miles.
The hosts were excellent and there to see us in and give us the info we needed, nothing was too much trouble.
I would recommend this to dog owners and those without alike as you wouldn't know it was a place where dog owners stay as there's no pet smell or signs of pets.
Will definitely stay again should we get the chance and would absolutely recommend without hesitation.
We were welcomed in person on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was spotless, well appointed, really comfortable and homely.
We had 3 lovely nights here, had great dog walks described to us, which we did. Great local pubs recommended to us, which we went to. We hope Steve and Sally will let us stay again.
Idyllic pretty hamlet cottage, lovely gardens leading down to the river, it really is a home from home, everything you would need is there, including a covered wash area for the dogs.
Sally & Steve are brilliant hosts, Olive their black Labrador is gorgeous, very well behaved and good temperament 🐾
Very good walking area, go see the Alpacas in the field at the back of Bell Farm (by the river bridge)
very enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the owners very friendly and helpful. We travelled with our dog and the only real improvement for us would have been for the garden to be fully dog-proof. Overall highly recommended with fantastic walks right from the door.
Lower Brook cottage is lovely. It was very clean, just about everything provided, extremely comfortable and cosy. The walks in the area were gorgeous and so many routes to choose. Sally and Steve were welcoming, friendly and absolutely brilliant hosts. They even allowed their beautiful Labrador to befriend and play with ours which totally made her holiday. We felt very lucky to have found and stayed at such a first class place. Thank you S and S.
Greeted by Steve and Sally who are lovely people who care about their visitors and the quality of the experience. Great location, great walks, great pubs, great cottage and facilities. Fab all round. Thank you
A very attractive cottage furnished to a high standard and set in beautiful grounds. Very friendly and helpful owners.
