Great accommodation with full privacy, I had everything I needed for my overnight stay, felt at home

Really a nice, clean, cosy and well equipped property, not far from the train station, easy to find. Everything went smooth from getting to and into the property. Instructions on how everything works in the property available. Complete privacy. Good value for the money!

Cosy and comfortable.

Well equipped and overall very comfy. Loved having fresh milk in the fridge and amenities.

Couldn’t park on driveway. However, parking was safe and close to the property anyway.

Very compact usable space ideal for single use or a couple.

Good area very versatile. Clean and warm. On street parking not a problem. Coffee machine was good with a great selection of coffees. I used the microwave - oven all good.

Shower presssure was low.

Nice little apartment

Lovely little apartment. Comfortable and cosy. Walking distance from shops and town centre, but far enough away to be quiet. Great for people cycling. Asgard bike store is brilliant.

Great

Wonderful place to stay. WIFI was a bit weak but the internet in general was poor in the area so it's not a problem with the accommodation

Only nice addition would be a coat rack!

Happy stay at the Orchid

A very comfortable self-contained apartment was very clean, and breakfast provisions were added, which was a bonus. stay, quiet location, and a pub across the road. I would recommend 👌

Great place for a stay near Stourhead

Great location and fab facilities. Loved the walk in shower. Very happy with everything. It was exceptionally hot outside and it was inside too. The fan was a godsend and we got in early to pull the curtains across and shades down. The little bottle of fresh milk was much appreciated. Mere was a fascinating place to explore. Often passed on the A303, but never stopped. Gillingham centre was an easy walk, we're in our 60s, with super pubs!

Parking was a little difficult but we managed ok.

Short but sweet!

I didn’t feel I got to spend much time at the property as I arrived much later than expected. However, the bed was comfy and it looked nice. A little disappointed there wasn’t any coffee, although they had a tassimo machine, but I’ve never used one of those before.

There wasn’t anything to dislike.

Met my needs and requirements with no significant problems.

I liked: The location; The facilities met my needs and worked well for me; The bedroom was quiet; The shower worked well with provisions for keeping it clean; The hosts did not intrude; The availability of modern technology and the instructions provided; the provision of simple food items and the jug of cold water.

The tap for the bathroom basin was partially blocked and squirted water everywhere (I cleaned out the tap and this cured the problem). The tap was also loose on the basin and requires tightening. A hook on the back of the bathroom door for dressing gown/hand towel would be useful. The kitchen pedal bin was placed by the bedroom door meaning that using foot pedal caused the lid to scrape the door jamb leaving a black mark on the paintwork. Moving the bin to the space to the right side of the kitchen unit made it easier to use and no marks ( I did clean off the black mark after moving the bin)

Nice little base close to main route through town, easy to find, easy to park. Safe and quiet.

Location was perfect for my visit to friends living out in the country. The host had provided milk/tea/coffee/breakfast pack, which was thoughtful and took pressure off having to hunt for the nearest shop. The annex has been well designed and adequately fitted out, so was good as a base. The bed was comfortable, which is important. Had everything anyone could expect for a short stay.

I found it a bit chilly but didn't discover the wall heater until the morning. I'd read a review about underfloor heating in the bathroom, but it didn't appear to be on. The bathroom tap was so forceful that it tended to whoosh over the basin, giving me an unexpected dowsing each time I used it. The shower looked wonderful but I could only persuade it to deliver tepid water - this may have been my fault as there was lovely hot water in the kitchen, but I had no luck with the shower tap. The small shower head was in need of a descale. The toilet seat was not the right size/shape for the toilet, so it was loose and slipping to one side.

Exactly what we needed. Lovely place. Would stay again if in the area for a weekend.

Lovely offering of pastry’s, jams, tea and coffee.

Good little kitchen. Opening windows. Food! Breakfast staples+

Access code changed from that I'd been notified about. Unpleasant situation at 7pm! Wifi difficult to log onto. Eventually successful but required assistance. Luckily owners just next door.

Got the job done well and will definitely be back with my wife to visit the NT estates in the area.

Easy to find easy to enter. Buffet breakfast provided. Snacks and drink choice. The heated floor in the en-suite was a bonus.

No comments as nothing to dislike.

Great!

Easy to find. Clear instructions for self-admittance. Nicely done out. Good facilities. Locked BIKE STORE! There's a pub across the road that does food but I didn't use it.

Nice apartment close to A303.

Nice apartment in West Gillingham, ideal stop over if travelling on A303. plenty of room and comfortable bed. The kitchen has all the features you need and a nice coffee machine. Large TV with Amazon Fire stick to use with your own Prime account if you need.

A great quiet place to stop over. Shower particularly good

Very quiet and clean.

Oven impossible to work and I have a technical background. No start button but there is one maked "Chaos"!!??

Dirty place and expensive

Quiet, looks quite new, warm. Well equipped.

Flat was not thoroughly cleaned: Dirt on the floor, breadcrumbs on the table, lime scale on the taps .... and much more. Maybe we were unlucky and the landlord has forgotten to clean up the place before we came.

Fantastic- great for cyclists.

Great location for cyclists - particularly if doing the Bath to Bournemouth Sustrans Route. There was lockable bike storage, which was great piece of mind. Very clean, and comfortable. The hosts were lovely, and very accommodating, especially given our last minute booking.

A sweet little space perfect for our stay.

A quiet and cozy little place tucked away in a small town close to many tourist destinations. The host was friendly and polite and the living space was perfect for our short stay.
