The property is frequently described as exceptionally clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.

The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and proximity to local walks and attractions like Longleat. However, one mention of a tricky exit onto the A road suggests a slight inconvenience, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.

About this property

Chilcompton 2.9 miles. The Old Coach House is a charming barn conversion resting in Nettlebridge, on the edge of the Mendips in Somerset. With beautiful country views, a herd of llamas, and a quirky games room, The Old Coach House is a superb setting for your next family adventure, within easy reach of the cities of Bath and Wells. The property boasts an open-plan living space where guests can take advantage of the self-catering facilities, including a dishwasher, to rustle up an evening meal to enjoy round the dining table as you toast to a wonderful holiday, or alternatively grab some popcorn and enjoy a night in front of the television. The ground-floor also has a charming snug room which is a great space for guests to watch something with more privacy as they relax after a long day, and a handy utility room with a washing machine and a cloakroom. Climbing upstairs, there is a spacious landing, a double bedroom with ample storage, a contemporary bathroom, and a bedroom with a raised small single bed and a lower single bed, to comfortably sleep either two children or an adult and a child, and allow flexible sleeping arrangements. Outside there is private parking on the driveway, a garden with lawn, patio and furniture so you can take your dining al fresco, and an external games room which is a cool space to hang out, for either children or adults, with the bar facilities and pool table. The property is just a stone's throw away from the gorgeous Harridge Wood West Nature Reserve which is a worthwhile afternoon with a picnic, or take a short drive into Chilcompton to find a shop for any essentials and two pubs, for when you fancy an evening out with your loved ones. The city of Bath is close by with its historical Abbey, interesting Roman Baths, alongside many other museums and galleries, and great shopping facilities. In the opposite direction, you can explore the city of Wells which has a captivating Cathedral and The Bishop's Palace and Gardens which is a striking 13th century palace with 14 acres of gardens. Also, you can discover the popular Longleat Safari Park which boasts a monkey drive thru and an African animal village, Glastonbury and Cheddar Gorge, all within a 30 minute drive of the property. For an exciting stay in an admirable part of Somerset, choose The Old Coach House as your base.

Chilcompton is a small village with two pubs serving food, a Co Op, the St John Baptist Church, and a playground with a skate park. A short drive into the small town of Midsomer Norton you will find shops, cafes and pubs, and the River Somer flowing through, making a lovely place to sit or feed the ducks. Slightly further is the city of Bath which offers river cruises along the River Avon and is home to the Roman Baths, museums, art galleries, theatres and Bath Abbey.

  • David

    Cottage very well equipped and comfortable. The host was very friendly and helpful and introduced us to her llamas . We took them for a walk and brushed them and for us this was the highlight of our stay. Chilcompton is perfectly positioned for exploring Somerset. We will definitely return. .

    We also got to feed and walk the llamas which went down very well with the whole family!

  • Paul
