Loved this beautiful house and garden. Absolutely brilliantly located for a wedding at coombe lodge. Extremely attentive host. Very comfortable stay with all the perks of extra luxury.

Only small suggestion is to swap out a meat item on the cooked breakfast for a veggie replacement. Though both breakfasts were delicious.

The property was beautiful, it was a home as well as a boutique business that offered a place to relax and enjoy a quiet getaway. Jenny was very welcoming and very friendly. I felt at home immediately, the room was exquisite and well equipped and comfortable. Jenny goes the extra mile and supplies a most comfortable bed and luxurious sheets. You could quite easily loose time and just stay in the room, there is drink making facilities and little extras. With books within the room, I picked one up and forgot to almost go to the event I was there to go to. Jenny did a fantastic breakfast and her beautiful dog and cat were also very welcoming hosts! I would not hesitate to stay there again, next time for longer! Thank you Jenny for a truly wonderful experience.

There was nothing I disliked

Jenny provided exceptional hospitality in a home befitting of this stunning part of the world. I was in the downstairs suite, which was almost like a self-contained little annexe, with a very comfortable bedroom linked with a spacious main bathroom and a separate shower room by a private corridor which even offered personal access to the vast gardens (which I regrettably didn't take the opportunity to enjoy on this occasion). I was made more than welcome to sit in the main lounge/living room area, which was a pleasant place to read my book and enjoy Jenny's great music playlist. A breakfast which sets you up for your day just nicely is served in a grand dining room, and having tried both the cooked English breakfast and the yoghurt with compote - each time served with toast, butter and preserves, tea, coffee and apple juice (orange juice was also available) - I would recommend both. I stayed here over two nights for a wedding at the impressive Coombe Lodge, for which this B&B is very convenient, but I came away thinking it would also make a nice retreat to enjoy the house itself, surrounding villages (Blagdon & Rickford) and countryside for a few days. Most people probably drive here I suspect, but if you're taking the train or coach and find yourself needing to get out here from Bristol city centre I'd suggest looking at the local buses, especially the WestLink. I was advised beforehand that it's possible to get taxis out to Blagdon, but I took the cheaper option of taking a regular bus out to Whitchurch on the southern edge of Bristol (this is as far into the city as the WestLink goes to go direct to Blagdon) then booked a WestLink minibus to pick me up from there and take me straight out to Blagdon. Both journeys took around 20-25 minutes each, compared to an estimated 35 minute journey in a taxi, but they were also only £2 each compared to the £30-£38 that Uber were quoting, so it's something to consider.

Everything! Communication before visit was excellent. Welcome made us feel at home straight away. Lovely to have the host recommended a pub for dinner and then arrange the reservation for us. Room was spotless and had everything needed! Husband particularly enjoyed the coffee machine. Bed and bedding was amazing to sleep in. Breakfast was amazing and loved the chat with other guests and Jenny. Home bread fresh bread was just another level of amazing attention to detail. We stayed due to a wedding and it’s perfect as a few minutes stroll! We were just sad to leave! If you want an amazing stay I would 💯 recommend- we loved 🥰 it!

That we had to leave and return home 😢 at the end of our stay.

Before we even arrived Jenny ( Host ) called me to answer a question I had asked and literally bent over backwards to accommodate my friend and I. The location of the property is absolutely picturesque and perfect in every way. You couldn't ask for better. The house was the same, absolutely beautiful. You could see how much effort and pride had gone into the house. Nothing was too much trouble and all the little details made such a difference. stunning and delicious cooked breakfast, home made bread and a very lovely little dog too to greet you. What a little gem in a very magical part of the world that I didn't know existed. I will definitely be back and hopefully for longer next time. Thank you Jenny.x

An exceptional host who really goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome in their home. Great location if you are attending weddings nearby, under 10 minutes to the nearby venues. Breakfast was very good with all products locally sourced and the home baked bread adds a homely feel you won’t find elsewhere. Jenny has such a nice personality, so don’t be surprised if you end up lost in conversation with her!

Only negative I can think of is if you drive a wider / larger car, the roads to the home can be quite tight. Take it slowly and you’ll be fine though.

Lovely house in a quiet position and beautiful views of Blagdon lake and surrounding countryside. We were attending a wedding at Coombe Lodge and it was so easy to get to the venue from here, 3 minutes tops. Our room was lovely, very comfy bed, en suite facilities, tea and coffee. Jenny ,our host, couldn’t do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were great and we had some lovely conversations with the other guests as we were all sat at the same table. Very convenient for both Bath and Bristol, and if we are in the area again, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Jenny for a lovely stay.

Nothing to dislike

House is beautiful in lovely grounds. Very good location if you are attending a wedding at Coombe Lodge. This is a family home so some house rules such as removing shoes and observing quiet time between 10pm and 7am and also no room keys. Very tastefully decorated throughout. Jenny the owner is very attentive and cooks breakfast from scratch with locally sourced ingredients. Bed was comfy and milk for coffee is left in an insulated bottle so none of those irritating little milk pots that you need about 4 of in each cup. Coffee pod machine in bedroom and proper coffee at breakfast, Molton Brown toiletries in the bathroom.Jenny likes a chat and makes you feel welcome in her home.

The location was beautiful and very quiet. Jenny was a fabulous host with a great sense of humour. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The breakfast was all locally sourced, freshly cooked, beautifully presented and very tasty. She even made her own bread! I loved the Molton Brown products in the bathroom and the separate shower area.

Our bedroom was a little tight for space but that was no problem as we were not staying in there and had access to a shared sitting room. which was lovely. Luckily there was a moveable mirror in the bathroom which I could use in the bedroom to dry my hair as this might have been a problem. These are very minor points as I can't recommend this venue .more highly. Fabulous!

The breakfast was held in Jennie's dining room. We shared the table with other guests, some of whom had travelled for the same wedding I was attending but others had come from France so it made a very interesting breakfast. The food was from a local butcher and was fabulous and Jennie's cooking was first rate. The bedroom was very comfortable and the decor was beautiful and very clean and well looked after. Jennie was a first rate host and the location was superb. I would definitely stay again and recommend to my friends.

There was nothing not to love.
