All this week in August it was sunny but the day we came it rained bit it was still wonderful. Liz still opened the pool and even though it was cloudy we had a lovely time. I can only imagine what it's like if you have a sunny day. We had a lovely walk around the extraordinary gardens and got some great ideas for our own bug hotel. The rooms had everything you needed and our host couldn't be nicer if she tried. We were catching an extremely early flight the next day so thought rather than stay in a grotty airport hotel we justified the extravagance by bringing a picnic basket and a bottle of wine. We will definitely be going back. We are in a middle of doing a tour of The Pig Hotels ( we've done 3 now) and this place would fit in nicely.

We loved The Den - the setting is absolutely amazing, with a wonderful old house, walled garden, and a lovely walk up to the view at the top of the garden! The flat is amazing, so spacious, with everything you might need. They were so gracious in letting me use the pool in the mornings. The breakfasts were fab. There's a decent pub a 5-10 minute walk away, and right outside the pub is the bus into Bristol, which really doesn't take long at all. Highly recommended!

Nothing, it was great!

Even before we arrived, we got a lovely message welcoming us and checking if we had any dietary restrictions. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel at home, the apartment was lovely, the bed amazing and the finishing touches make it feel special. Breakfast was delivered to your room and the quality of the ingredients really impressed. The grounds are beautiful and well worth a walk if you have the time. It's only 6 miles out of Bristol and near the park and ride which was great as we could charge the car while we spent the day in the town centre. There are a couple of really nice pubs within walking distance. Liz has made this a wonderful place to stay, and is on our must return list. Thank you

The Den is a lovely, homely space within an absolutely beautiful house. The small kitchenette came fully laden with tea, coffee and biscuits which was a nice touch and the Sky TV in the lounge was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Very comfy beds within quiet grounds ensured a good night's rest. My home-cooked breakfast was made to order, punctually brought to my room by Liz and was absolutely delicious. There is also a pleasant little pub within walking distance of the house which was a great recommendation for dinner.

Stay was perfect, beautiful accomodation, spotlessly clean, got to spend 1.5 hours in their amazing outdoor pool alone which was heated and beautiful views. Son had own room. Lots of nice extra touches like handcream, nice shower gel, milk and juice and water in fridge and cereals already there as well as tea and coffee. Lovely host. Wife has just finished chemotherapy and lovely to be somewhere she could swim and so covid safe.

Location was exceptional, welcome was warm and inviting, fridge had some nicely chilled goodies, grounds were spectacular. I would recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect quiet retreat where you have space to breath and recharge

Breakfast could have little more variation but that's not a criticism, perhaps some more local produce or botanicals for herbal teas, vegan options, homemade local preserves, seed mix for muesli? Just little touches

Our stay at The Den was extremely enjoyable. The beautiful setting, the house, our room, the breakfast, the pool, and the walks around the gardens were spectacular! Liz and her family ware wonderful hosts, they made us feel right at home ☺️ Even the lovely gardener gave us a tour of the grounds, educating us on trees and veggies! We had two lovely meals at The George which is only a 5 minute walk away. We will definitely be back!

If the apartment had more cooking facilities it would be another plus! To be honest it saved us hassle by not having it as we just ordered takeaway instead…really nice Indian in Backwell. There is a microwave oven which produced delicious pizzas believe it or not!

The flexibility of the breakfast arrangements, and the helpfulness of the owner were excellent. The 'Den' was superb.

It is not a dislike, rather an observation. For a family staying with older children the set up is ideal. Ours were younger, and the distance between where we and they were sleeping, and the loo did cause our children some concerns.
