Spacious room. Easy parking.

Whilst the 'public areas' downstairs were fairly well maintained, on the first evening the dining room at the rear was used as a corridor between the kitchen/bar and outside courtyard, by both staff and customers, with the door frequently being left wide open - not particularly what you want on an October evening. However, the guest accommodation upstairs felt rather tired and unloved, eg broken toilet roll holder in our bathroom and unable to get much hot water out of the shower at 6pm on a Friday afternoon. We noted from a planning application displayed outside that the building is to be renovated, which might explain its current condition. Unfortunately our room was directly above the kitchen extractor unit, so noisy during the hours food was being prepared (from 06:45 until after 22:00, though presume it may have been turned off between breakfast and lunch service). Biggest issue for me was being unable to get to sleep until 2am on our first night due to the noise of maintenance work evidently being carried out above and/or adjacent to our room, until at least 01:45. Although I considered this totally unreasonable in premises offering guest accommodation I did not query it, in the hope that an explanation (and even possibly an apology) would be provided by management - but it was not. Food overall was good, but my wife was disappointed with the overcooked poached eggs served with breakfast. But perhaps my expectations were too high given the price charged?

Room was clean but very cold unfortunately the duvet was thin also ,the hot water took a while to run hot,The breakfast was cold the toast just snapped as it was cold the sausage was hot and tasty, staff were very pleasant but when I left no one was at reception desk ,parking was easy right outside the front door ,I would not rush back unfortunately .

Wonderful breakfast, good nights sleep

Stunning location close to the beautiful village of Bradford upon Avon , quiet location with easy parking and lovely local walks around .The shepherds hut is delightful but is in a field where the owners at time graze cattle for their beef business and it does attract a lot of flies which are discomforting and sometimes bite , installation of fly screens would prevent this and the addition of a fan to cool down the hut would also be helpful as it is recommended to keep the doors and windows closed a lot of the time to keep out the flies

Room was dirty and furniture damaged. I paid £44 for 2 breakfast when booking. But the breakfast menu stated if you stayed overnight it was free. Pastries arrived and hour and half after breakfast started. So as we were leaving.. also said breakfast would be served in the room. However it was in dining room.
