  Went there as a large family of 10 plus 4 young children for my Moms 80th birthday surprise and it was fab. Would definately recommend and we are already thinking about when we can go back. Thanks Marcus

• "We used the stay to celebrate our daughter’s 21st and 30th birthday and the facilities certainly gave us ample opportunity to do so."

  The hot tub and fire pit were used nightly and the beautiful opening doors and huge enclosed garden were enjoyed to the full during the day. Frome is a lovely town to start off from and the house/villa great to return to from a hard days exploring .Thank you Marcus you have it nailed for this beautiful house.

• "I can honestly say that all 12 of us absolutely loved staying at the property."

  It was well-maintained and all the facilities spot on. With a few hidden extras! Had no idea that the grounds were so big. And the bookcase door to the seller room is a genius idea. The kitchen had every utensil that we needed and more. Could not fault the cleanliness at all it was spotless, apart from unfortunately the cooker which really could do with a good clean. Which I totally understand can't be done every time. If there was a metal scratchy scrubber I could of at least cleaned the grates and trays better. But honestly that is the only downside of the whole experience. Which is miner. We loved the big communal living area and I think that's what made our weekend so great as we were always all together. I am really hoping that we can stay there again In the future.

  Hi Jacqui, thanks of the great feedback and really glad you had such a an awesome stay. We look forward to welcoming you another time. Best regards Marcus Property Owner

• "The property was as advertised and pictured."

  Well appointed, comfortable quiet location and very peaceful. Cool mod-cons made it super easy to do meals and negotiate the surroundings. The Sonos speakers made it very enjoyable to sit and listen to great music and was a real bonus given the ongoing Glastonbury festival during our visit. We had an issue with a door bolt that locked us out of 1 of the rooms for a night but there were other rooms and it worked out OK with a repair organised and carried out on schedule. The owner was very attentive and understanding to our needs regarding the whole matter!!

  Thanks Finbarr for the great feedback, really glad you had a good stay. Sorry about the door, but glad we managed to get it sorted in a timely manor. Many thanks Marcus Property Owner

• "A fabulous property beautifully presented."

  Very highly recommended. Children loved the cellar and made it their own. They did not want to leave and described it as 'best holiday ever' Likewise the 'well' feature is a clever and attractive concept. The only very minor problem was not taking a 2 to 3 pin plug converter as the en suite does not have a shaver socket so I could not charge my razor or electric toothbrush. OK for a short stay but not anything longer. Hope to return for another stay in the future.

  Thanks for the great feedback Alistair, and glad you had a great stay. I think some guests have totally missed the door to the cellar, which is why we usually leave it open upon arrival! We hope to see you again sometime in the future. Thanks again. Marcus Property Owner

• "Lovely property especially the kitchen and lounge area."

  The dishwasher was hard work to pack and the grass could have really done with a cut as was too long to play football with the kids.

  Thanks for the feedback Rebecca. Glad you had a good stay, we'll make sure we keep on top of the grass. Kind regards, Marcus Property Owner

• "This was the perfect space for a weekend gathering of 12."

  The main room is such a sociable, well-equipped space. The house is stylishly decorated and every room is a great size with comfy beds. The only drawback is that one of the two bathrooms is an en-suite, meaning people walk through this bedroom to use it or ten people share a bathroom. Not too much of an issue for a weekend though.

  Hi Jen, thanks for the great feedback. Really glad you had a fab stay. Kind regards, Marcus Property Owner

• "10 out of 10 we all loved every minute of our stay!"

  ! We had everything we needed and more and the bottle of wine was a lovely touch, thank you. If I had to suggest 1 thing, it would be the hot tub… by Sunday morning it was quite cloudy and smelly, so became off putting. If there was a way a top up of chemicals could be added mid stay, I think that would make the experience more enjoyable as at the end of the day 9 people in a hot tub is bound to off balance the chemicals. I also think a future upgrade of the hot tub would be something to look into as you offer a 12 person stay with a small tub. Otherwise can’t wait to book again!!

  Hi Scarlett, thanks for the feedback and awesome that you had such a great stay. Often we have no idea if the tub is getting lots of use or not at all, so it's a balance between us visiting the property to top up chemicals and invading your private stay. Our neighbours hold the chemicals for us and are more than happy to pop some in if needed. Next time you stay just ping me a text and I'll send them round. Look forward to welcoming you again some day. Kind regards Marcus. Property Owner

• "The villa was well looked after, clean and with several benefits."

  However there was a lack of toilet facilities. On the ground floor there were two double bedrooms. One of these was occupied by an 87 year old lady who was unable to climb the stairs. There was only a toilet on the ground floor. Nowhere to wash oneself properly, or shower. This was situated within the boot room. Turning this into a shower room could have provided facilities for both downstairs double rooms. This sadly let the whole villa down.

  Hi Raymond, thanks for your feedback, it's important that we get things right for our guests and I'm sorry if the layout of the house was not made clear enough in the description. We will look at altering some wording to hopefully make this clearer for future visitors. Kind regards, Marcus Property Owner

• "Gorgeous house especially for a special occasion."

  Really well-equipped and homely. Very spacious kitchen and living area so perfect for a big family or group of friends. Great location for visiting Frome and surrounding area. Lovely big garden too and tons of parking. Only downside really is only 2 bathrooms and only a toilet on ground floor level.

  The house is fantastic and as others have said, the pictures don’t do it justice! The house was well-located, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and there’s also a downstairs WC, utility room and small basement which has bean bags and a TV. There’s a sonos system, games, towels for the hot tub and an outdoor seating area too. We would definitely recommend this property! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

  Pure Luxury. Everything we needed was there, beds sooo comfortable. Gardens were lovely, as was the hot tub(very clean). The owner was in touch and happy to be contacted if we needed. They were very accommodating. Would highly recommend this property and frome. Lovely Sunday roast in the archangel (if you’re not in a rush as service a bit slow). Amazing shops. Hoping to return next year.

• "Our party of eight had a fantastic weekend stay and we highly recommend the property."

  It’s very easy to find, with a pretty drive and tons of parking space. The house is lovely, very private yet only a short walk into Frome, and superbly equipped. The main open plan living area is fantastic, comfortable sofas, cosy underfloor heating, a huge dining table and a great kitchen. All of the bedrooms are large, comfortable and have high quality bedding. We made use of several of the restaurants close by, the Royal Bengal Indian just 2 minutes away, Bistro Lotte for lunch on a busy Saturday and the Old Bath Arms for Sunday roasts, all were very good. Any areas for improvement, just a couple of things, there is only a family bathroom plus an on-suite in the main bedroom (there is a downstairs cloakroom also) so for a 6 bedroom house it could do with an extra bath or shower room…and the temperature varied across the house, upstairs bedrooms hot, downstairs bedrooms cold. But these are small things and overall we were incredibly happy with the house, it’s brilliant.

  Thanks for the positive feedback Shaun and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. I’ll get the radiators adjusted downstairs to improve the temp for those bedrooms. Thanks. Property Owner

  Everything was clean & tidy, the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of parking. All the spaces, including the garden, felt bigger than the pictures. We were a group of nine staying in the accommodation, with six local guests joining us for dinner one evening, there was plenty of room for everyone. I would definitely recommend this place and would hope to stay here again.
