  We stayed here to celebrate my 60th birthday.

  This is a beautiful house with a lovely garden in a beautiful location. We did swim in the freshwater pond and it really did add to the experience including the pond life. The games room was a great extra and we made good use of the table tennis table. Plenty of space downstairs for 8 people but I would say that the beds did not feel enough for 8 adults, the 4th room with the trundle bed would be better for children and we had to move the chest of drawers onto the landing to extend the trundle bed and leave room for 2 adults. This house is very much the owners home and it felt strange at first because very personalised. We loved the decor downstairs but again the upstairs was a bit too much like staying with a relative for a few nights particularly the 2 childrens rooms. No wardrobe space in the bedrooms except for the master where a space had been made among the owners belongings. Very little drawer space and many of the drawers were filled with clothing and underwear belonging to the owners children. I had the master suite which had a lovely bathroom and views of the garden. Im not sure my family were particularly impressed with their sleeping arrangements but were too polite to say as I had paid. Four bathrooms with great showers in all of them. We had a fabulous week in the house but there are improvements that could be made particularly upstairs

  We were a family of 3 generations and had a great week at the house.

  The gardens are gorgeous and the rooms are all beautifully furnished and the upstairs games room was priceless as it kept the two youngest very happy for hours on end playing ping pong and watching TV. Our favourite thing however hands down, was the swimming pond and we went in it almost daily, come rain or shine. It was also lovely just to sit next to it and watch the reflections of the clouds in the water, the swallows dive into it by day and the bats flutter around it by night. The children made full use of the hot tub, and we loved having the horses behind the house and enjoyed the eggs we were given from the chickens. The house is in a fantastic location with so many places to see within a short drive. We managed trips to Clifton, Tyntesfield House, Ashton Court (not that exciting in itself but the cafe is worth visiting), Bath, Symonds Yat and a coastal walk near Weston Super Mere. We also visited the local village shop (Honey & Ginger) and the Failand Inn pub for a meal. Waitrose and Tesco were only about a 10 minute drive away in Nailsea, I would definitely recommend staying here and I've already had a couple of friends ask for the details to the house.

  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.

  Super cozy & warm atmosphere inside.

  Lots of coffee, tea and sugar already there. Liked the welcome Biscuits. Very clean and tidy. Easy to adjust heating controls. Excellent hot and cold running water. Excellent beds, bedding & towels. Somewhat limited range of pots & saucepans. Could do with bigger pots for one pot cooking !!! Cooker could do with an upgrade, though worked fine. But overall very high standard of interior A few small maintenance issues. Fx Sensor Lights for the stairs were not working & need replacing. This would be good for the winter months. ! Exterior stair landing outside entrance door pools water. Could do with drain holes. However we totally loved our stay there and will definitely come back another time. Love Chris & Helle

  Our stay at The Loft At Nordrach Lodge was great.

  The loft had everything we needed for a self catering holiday, the packet of biscuits left on arrival was a lovely touch. It was in a great location for exploring the surrounding areas, some beautiful walks nearby. The place was clean and tidy, and they had thoughtfully got out the high chair and put up the travel cot for us before arrival which was very helpful. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have used and we all slept fantastically. Check in and out was easy with the key box and the message before arrival with detailed directions (so the sat nav didn’t send us to the wrong place) was very useful. We would definitely return to the property again if we are visiting the area.
