Its a lovely house in a nice quiet location, on the edge of High Littleton.Everything was spotless and all the basics were there, along with lots of nice touches e.g. all the hand soap dispensers were full, there were dishwashers tablets, washing up liquid, salt and pepper, tea bags, a large bottle of milk etc etc all the things normally missed were there.The owners live next door and were friendly, welcoming and helpful (not that anything went wrong).The property is well placed to visit Bath, Wells, Bristol and the numerous National Trust properties that are in easy driving distance. There a pub, fish and chip shop and a small local shop in the village. There are larger supermarkets within 10-20 minutes drive.Highly recommended.

Had good time good location for us.Can use bus from village to Bath and Bristol.Takes much longer that way that’s why We used park and ride to both only 20 mins and 30 mins for them very easy.Good location because you can good to Wells etc opposite direction about same time.Cottage is in a very quiet lane. did not hear one car going past when in cottage.If we are back that way again I will book it again.Terry /Wendy
