Fantastic cottage in a beautiful setting

A couple of wonderful days away with friends in a beautiful property; great attention to detail and a good welcome pack on arrival. Everything we needed for a peaceful short break away with friends. Great hosting by Dinah. We would highly recommend staying here.

Excellent quiet accomodation

We spent a couple of nights in the old dairy and had a lovely time. The property is in a very quiet location where you can only hear birds and the odd horse passing by. Very well equipped making it a comfortable stay.

Beautiful and comfortable

Short family stay 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 dogs, loved by all. Very comfortable stay with some lovely additions (wood burning stove and TV in the bathroom) for an extra treat. Friendly welcome but not overbearing. Everything required for eating in, warm and cosy in the evenings. Thank you, we will be returning 😁

Lovely accommodation, great location and excellent hosts

Had a great week staying at the Old Dairy, excellent standard of accommodation, its very spacious and so so peaceful. Pet friendly and nice garden. Plenty of quiet walks on the roads/lanes and paths surrounding the property and great access with car to Bradford upon Avon, Bath and Bristol. Excellent communication from Dinah throughout. We would happily stay again and recommend. Thank you.

Fantastic weekend retreat

We spent a lovely weekend at the old dairy. The accommodation is immaculate, finished to a very high specification, right down from the appliances to the quality of the sheets and towels. The welcome pack was appreciated and the fresh flowers a nice touch. The gents loved looking at the cars with Mark. We have stayed in many self catering accommodations and this is the best we have been in. Hopefully we can return again.

Everything you could possibly need from a home away from home with 5* hotel touches

We absolutely loved staying at the dairy and wished we could have stayed longer. We were welcomed by fresh bread, eggs, milk and a basket full of goodies plus tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The old dairy was immaculately clean and we really appreciated the finer touches of soft towels, sumptuous cotton bedding and feather pillow and quilts. We all had a lovely nights sleep in the comfy beds. We would highly recommend the old dairy, it was idyllic, warm and cozy. Everything had been thought of and we will definitely visit again

We have styed at this delightful cottage on two separate occasions. Both times have been excellent. Egyptian cotton in every room, a tv in every room, ( including the bathroom!) Loads to justify excellent review.

A very relaxing place to unwind

The property was outstanding, the pictures don't do it justice. My wife loved the over large tub and the fireplace (which was set to light on arrival). There were snacks and eggs (which my sons loved), this place was like coming home. We liked being away from the city and using it as a base for stonehenge/bath/wells, etc... On leaving I wished I could have stayed longer. The hosts were very nice and welcoming as well, going out of their way to introduce themselves.

Great place to wind down

The property is situated in a peaceful location, with a secure enclosed garden for the dogs. There were plenty of places to walk without taking the car. The welcome pack on arrival included milk, eggs, bread, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and breakfast cereals - most welcome after a long journey. Dinah and Mark were very friendly and approachable and offered us a warm welcome - but this was unfortunately cut short by our two unruly dogs and our hungry and impatient baby grandson. The property was tastefully decorated, and the owners had thought of everything, including a TV in the en-suite! Definitely want to return to - if they'll have us back!

Sumptiously Comfortable!

Dinah and Mark have created a wonderful little retreat in the Old Diary. Everything is finished to top standards - the beds are so comfortable, water pressure & temperature is A1. There is even a TV in the bathroom!! We along with our dogs really enjoyed our stay & South Wraxall was a great location for exploring Somerset & Wiltshire with a lovely walk on the doorstep. Loved the home grown elegant tulips & eggs - especially the blue one! Thank you :)

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in the old dairy and we again had a wonderful time. We love this place, the farm is so peaceful and quiet and the accommodation is lovely. Couldn't fault a single thing with the property. Its so well equipped and very comfortable. Dinah is very helpful and not intrusive at all. We still love the area and Bagh in general. Hoping to come back again in the future. Thanks for the wonderful stay

The old dairy is one of the most comfortable, well equipped places we have ever stayed. It has everything you need and more - lots of little luxuries to make it extra special. The location is great for exploring Bath and Bradford but there are some lovely walks on the doorstep too. Would definitely return!
