  Avonside is a beautiful cottage, the conversion is innovative, well designed and executed, the photographs don't really do it justice.

  It is in a stunning location right alongside The Avon with a pretty enclosed garden, safe for the dog. We were met by a generous "welcome pack" with everything to start off our visit, and there are local pubs and shops, including an excellent Co-Op within short walking distance. Pill itself is a charming village with an interesting history.Several of the pubs in Pill do food, but we had an excellent Christmas lunch in relaxed surroundings at the Rudgleigh Inn, a short drive away in Easton in Gordano. We booked a Christmas Eve visit to the National Trust's "Christmas at Tyntesfield" which was very special, and enjoyed a long walk at Kings Weston House where the dog friendly cafe provided a very welcome retreat from the rain. Just above the cottage there is a large open area, accessed just below the viaduct, for great walks hence a very happy dog.There are many towns and places to visit in north Somerset, visits to family and friends in the area took up much of our time, we will have to make a return visit. Access to the house is via steps but good hand rails are provided, and parking is a short distance away. The cottage provided very comfortable accommodation and everything we needed for a very relaxing stay. Thank you, we will return.

  Where do i start.

  ??? The whole cottage is is in need of some tender care and a DEEP DEEP clean. The chairs are uncomfortable stained cushions and mats stained. and in need of a good clean. Who leaves a green scouring sponge and dirty dishcloth for the next guests to use. The frying pan more bent and stained than you can imagine. The oven glove left was disgusting and just fit for the bin. Every door the runners on the back thick of dust. And the big beams in main bedroom are covered in 1 inch of cacked dust the only thing missing was the birds nest. The patio could be lovely if powered washed and moss removed. Would have been nice to be able to make a drink on arrival but the only thing in cupboards was packets of food clearly left from previous guests , a few tea bags and milk would have been nice. Have in stayed at a few holiday cottages can only say (as our first Sykes )if this is there standard will be the last.

  A fabulous cottage in a lovely village.

  We visited with our small terrier and the garden is secure enough to let him wander in and out of the cottage without worrying that he'd find a way out. The double bed is soft and comfy and the water was properly hot whenever we needed it. The kitchen is well equipped. There are excellent walks to be done from the doorstep with no need for driving. Our car is far too large to park in the lane outside but we were able to unload and load without problem. We were able to park in the carpark for the village hall which is one minute walk away (a permit is available if you ask at the village hall). The village shop is literally on the corner (open 8-8) and there are three village pubs, one of which, The New Inn, has one of the best views from a beer garden I've ever seen. We really can't say too much about this comfortable, clean cottage and its great location and are probably about to book another stay.

  We booked Redwod for a friend's weekend away.

  The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely location along a quiet lane. Parking was easy to find and very close by. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed lighting the log burner for a cosy evening in following a very wet walk in the Mendips! In better weather we would have made use of the lovely garden.I would say that for 4 adults the sleeping arrangements are snug but fine for a weekend (also, there were only 3 dining chairs). The beds are very comfortable and the lounge is lovely. Blagdon is a pretty village. We made use of the map in the cottage to plot a walk over the hills to the Plume of Feathers in Rickford for lunch by the roaring log fire ( highly recommended). Great communication from Lucy the owner about an issue that didn't actually affect us at all. All in all a great weekend and we would definitely book again.

  Avonside cottage is very quirky property - quite small but very comfortable and the location is super peaceful and quiet (apart from the odd seagull fight over the water!

  ). It's definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the fact that you can't park right next to the house and there are steps get into the property. The kitchen has everything you need and the owners very kindly put milk and some treats in the fridge for us, which was lovely. The house was very clean and comfortable and being by the water meant the air was fresh and cool even on hot days. There is a co op store very close by and a bus goes regularly into Bristol, meaning there is no need to tackle city parking! The drive to Weston Super Mare is short and Bath isn't too far either. Overall the location is good for anyone who wants to stay put and bask in quiet, or who is willing to travel to see the many sights around Bristol. We had a great holiday.
