Beautiful Victorian Villa, near to Bath, modern and luxurious

My family of 10 adults rented the whole place out. Communication and restaurant recommendations were fabulous. Highly recommend Longs Arms and Pear Tree for dinner both were charming! Wonderful catered dinner by Nibbled. Rooms were comfortable even though we visited during a hot spell in June and there is no A/C. Fridge was stocked with eggs, milk and pea shoots. They were able to accommodate an early check-in and were extremely flexible as we made good time from London. We spent a day in Bath. We ventured to Broadway and Snowshill which was a long drive and had dinner at Henry's in Cirencester stopping to see the lavender fields which were in full bloom! We didn't get to enjoy the walks in Box, because we were too busy! We were ages 25-88. The adult children loved the Thomas the Tank doorbell. Lovely stay would recommend!

We used this property as a base for a team participating nearby. This was a very comfortable and well appointed property with excellent owner communication. It fulfilled our needs perfectly and we would not hesitate to recommend it to others as a venue.

The decor and standard generally were excellent. Two points to bear in mind. For this size property the sole sitting room is on the smaller side, being a B&B the focus is more on the dining area, which is of less value to a group taking over the property as we did. Second note it is on the main A4 London road, though noise is generally not much of an issue given the small size of Box and the thickness of the walls, but its not an idyllic setting per se. Hosts were excellent, and great communication, and the standard throughout was very high. We would definitely return for another long weekend, just to summarise it all in one sentence.

Everything was easy from booking to leaving. Everyone was genuinely nice and accommodating making for a pleasing atmosphere. Definitely would recommend. Some specific points: All 8 bedrooms are good sized doubles with good ensuite bathrooms. Major plus in our eyes as no one was feeling let down. Kitchen is adequate but limited as only seats 4-6 people. Probably no need to be bigger as most B&B residents will breakfast in the dining room. We struggled initially with the oven and also the boiling tap which just did not seem to be hot enough for tea (probably health & safety requirements). Dining room was nice and easily accommodated all 14 of us in a single sitting. Lounge was adequate but struggled to comfortably accommodate all 14 of us which again was probably due to the fact that it would not usually need to cater for this number of guests. Overall everything was satisfactory or well above.
