Bilsham Meadows Reviews

No complaints absolutely beautiful property

Joanne

We had a fantastic stay thankyou. The property is finished to a high standard and was warm and comfy. Showers were hot and easy to use. We had a good soak in the hot tub with it's pretty fairy lights. Just a few basics would have made our stay even better some flat baking trays, salt, and washing up liquid not everything fitted in the dishwasher. We loved seeing the cattle in the shed they were so quiet! We also spotted a fox and a white egret. We would definitely recommend Bilsham Meadows as a good place to stay for a large group.

Jessica

We originally made this booking for the summer, but due to my partner being diagnosed with cancer and another member of the partner donating her kidney to husband we wanted to cancel. The owner completely refused to give us a refund. This forced us to not only rearrange but also pay extra for the new date. There was absolutely no basic humanity or compassion for our situation, I even offered to provide evidence. Once we arrived at the cottage it was freezing. The owners were unreachable that evening, so it was not a great first night and we barely slept. The owners did arrive the next day, but all they offered were blow heaters which made minimal difference. The owners also mentioned a sensor was gone and someone was coming to fix it, this clearly indicated they were aware of the issue. Despite this gave no prior warning or provide the heaters in the first place. The cottage itself is beautiful and was very clean. I feel this cottage is completely let down by its owners, we were forced to rebook and then our already tainted stay was further ruined by the cold. For the cost to stay here, and the refusal to allow a refund we expected a lot better.

This property is exceptional. The building and its surroundings are lovely and it was the perfect space for our family of 9 people to spend Christmas. The kitchen was so well stocked we cooked our Christmas lunch here and had everything we needed, and more. The rooms were warm and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you for making this such a memorable Christmas for us. We couldnt have asked for more.

Fantastic property and absolutely no criticisms. Very comfortable and warm and we loved the hot tub.

Michelle

Only one issue. For 10 people the fridge is too small. There was not enough room for us 10 girls to put our food and drink in for 3 days. But an amazing place.

Shanice

Amazing long weekend! Great locationstunning propertyQuietEasily accessible to other parts of Bristol. Would recommend to anybody! Happy to return in the future.

An absolutely amazing propertydefinitely has the wow factor. Bedrooms are all to a high standard with fresh towels provided and comfy beds. Bathrooms were amazing and top notch qualityloved the lights on the sinks as you walked in

Beautiful house with everything we needed for our weekend! Loved the open plan living and the hot tub. Watching the sun rise from the hot tub was a particular highlight. The master suite definitely had the wow factor, and we would definitely come back again!

F Charles

Lovely place. Quality furnishings and equipment. Bit too open plan for us. Charles

Nicola

Beautiful property, built and furnished to a very high standard. Excellently equipped with large groups in mind. Perfect for our group of 5 couples, not often you get 5 double beds in a property.

Belinda

Beautiful accommodation and easy to find. Thank you very much.

Veronica

Beautiful property, lovely and warm. Bedding quality excellent , and also the towels that were sumptuous. Easy to find and gain access. Gardens planted and looking lovely already. Bed configuration instructions were followed up and perfect thank you . Hot tub was lovely for those who used it and plenty of blanket and outdoor towels. However , it was disappointing that there were obviously insufficient hand towels for the party which I did report the day we arrived but no more were forthcoming. Some of the kitchen equipment was not cleaned properly lips marks on glasses, custard on jugs, mugs discolored. This could be because of the frugal supply of dishwasher tablets provided, a couple more would have been appreciated. I cannot understand why cake forks are provided but no tea towels ?? Essential if you cannot always use the dishwasher. From a health and safety aspect , no oven gloves is an oversight and accident waiting to happen with no tea towels either to substitute. Another suggestion, with two people occupying the rooms, there really is not sufficient hanging space and most rooms could easily accommodate a decent wardrobe. There was also lots of detritus under the settees and under some of the beds. The Ironing board was broken with a note left on it from previous occupants when we arrived and not sure why that had been left ? Overall ,we would have no hesitation to book again as hopefully, these are only teething problems in a new property and maybe a little tightening up on the cleaning service

Joanne

An amazing house, the owners haven't skimped on anything. Very clean and well equipped. The one thing I would recommend would maybe be some blackout curtains in the bedrooms but not the end of the world. We met the owners and they were lovely and the doggies. The only complaint I have is that I didn't get to stay long enough, I was only there 2 nights but hopefully will get to go again. I would highly recommend this property

Melody-joy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bilsham Meadows. We immediately could tell that there was a lot of thought and detail that went into building this lovely farmhousecottage. The kitchenliving area is so spacious. It allowed everyone to interact with each other in an open air space. Not to mention the patio, garden area and hot tub a phenomenal addition to the cottage and one of the highlights. All the rooms were of a good size and the bathrooms were stunning! It would have been nice to have a little more storage space for clothing especially in the master bedroom upstairs. The cottage is definitely well insulated and warm and would be extremely ideal during the winter. Within our party of 10, there were some who loved the warmth and others who did feel a little warm and regularly went outside for fresh air. We noticed that in each space there were heating controls but we were unsure if these were fixed or could be adjusted. If they were adjustable then we didnt know how to regulate it and would have been nice to adjust the heating to a middle ground to suit everyones comfortability. In regards to the wifi, it wasnt too strong which caused some difficulties when trying to watch the TV as at several points the TV would buffer or would ask us to check the wifi connection. We appreciate this might have been down to a lot of people trying to connect at once. The owners were lovely and friendly. We liked how they gave us our privacy and checked in with us at the end to ensure everything is OK. There are a lot of informationhelp guides within the property so an answer usually would be found in these guides. Overall, Bilsham Meadows provided us with an amazing opportunity to unwind and reset from our busy lives. There is a sense of peace and tranquility about this cottage that has to be celebrated and appreciated and we would most definitely recommend to others.

Our stay at Bilsham Meadowes exceeded our expectations. Bedrooms were all good sizes and the bedroom area upstairs was stunning. The beautiful kitchen and living area provided an ideal social space. We were able to use the outside facilities and these proved to be perfect for both children and adults. The hot tub was an added luxury that was well used during our stay. All facilities were extremely well maintained and clean and the owners were attentive to any needs. We would not hesitate to recommend this gorgeous house which provided us with an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside.

This is an astonishing place which amazed everyone of us on the quality and facilities available. We went with our children, grandchildren and sisterinlaw and they all loved the whole experience of staying there. The hot tub was obviously a major hit with all as was the games table with the grandchildren. The bedrooms were beautifully laid out, although a little extra clothes storage in some of the rooms would of been beneficial, something I'm told is already planned to do. This is a great place to explore from with so much within a short distance, even Wookey hole caves is only a hours drive away. A visit, or two, to the Boar's head at Aust is an absolute must with great food, drink and most importantly extremely friendly staff.

We have had a wonderful week in a very luxurous family house with the nine of us. Everything was there and especially the jacuzzi was a wonderful, Italian daily experiece in rainy Britain. Only when it gets really hot outside climate control would do. Not neccassary for us, we had a fantastic holiday!

Hi, its beautiful living accommodation and internally very clean. I was disappointed that my request for all possible beds to be made up as singles was ignored the photograph attached to the accommodation illustrates the possibilities. I also left a message on our arrival regarding this before 4.30pm and that was also ignored. We don't think there are enough bathroom facilities. Three double rooms are required to use the same bathroom which is unacceptable for the price we paid for the accommodation . The cleanliness of the hot tub was in doubt, a filthy filter was evident and it not checked daily as required. By day three, none of the party felt able to use it which was disappointing

Courtenay

The property is absolutely beautiful, so peaceful and we loved having the cows walk round the back of the garden. It was extremely clean and tidy and all the games that are included were a great addition. Would definitely go back!

Great stay with friends . Beautiful house maintained well very clean . Would recommend some curtains in the down stairs room as very light in the mornings .

It would be good to have a wardrobe in the top floor bedroom.

We had a lovely stay at Bilsham Meadows. The house was fantastic and had absolutely everything we needed. The space was superb. The weather was not great during our stay however we were quite happy relaxing in a comfortable house. Beds were very comfy and the living space very accommodating. The hot tub was lovely despite not being able to enjoy the outdoor area due to the bad weather. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.
