  • Simon

    Well located to visit Bristol and the Chew Valley

  • Christopher

    It starts at 6am .19 aircraft take off between 6 and7 and as many again between 7 and 8. If you want to sleep after 6am forget it. The cottage is directly under the flight path and the aircraft are only 3-400 ft high. This is not 'associated noise' Perhaps it would be better if marketed at plane spotters.

    Everything is just perfect, that's why we returned. It's lovely after a day out to return to such a lovely place & be able to sit & look out at the lovely views, we did miss seeing any hot air balloons this time though , when we stayed in 2022 we saw them every day. The planes are nice to see coming & going , the noise was no problem to us at all. We would definitely consider staying here again if in the area
