“Comfortable, relaxing Hen Weekend
A group of 16 of us stayed at Skyfall for my hen weekend in June. Arrival was very straight forward. There were a couple of very minor issues out of Sarah's control but when I emailed her about this, she was very quick to respond (within in the hour) and provided a resolution.
There was a little dust but nothing really nothing major and it is to be expected of a rural property that isn't lived in daily so this is really clutching at straws and by no way a serious complaint.
The beds were very comfortable and clean and we all slept well. That bathrooms were spotless. The kitchen was very well equipped (with a separate utility area) and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. A nice large open space for our group which opened out onto the garden. The garden is beautiful and well maintained with plenty of outdoor seating. The hot tub was set up ready for us to use and it was spotlessly clean.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property gave us the best of both worlds - rural enough that we didn't disturb others but close enough to Bath for us to have an evening out.
I wouldn't be put off by the negative comments - I assume these are a result of the pandemic which obviously had it's unfortunate impact on holiday makers and small business owners alike.”
“We went there as a business team and it had great space to work as a team. The Kitchen / Dining space is outstanding and really brought the outside in. It's Eco house design was innovative and welcoming. With the house being about 10 minutes from the centre of Bath (in a car) it was ideal to pop in and get the best of Bath whilst enjoying a rural idyll. The beds were very comfortable and the whole place was ideal for our needs.”
“Peacful family week-end at Starfall
We were a family group of 17 with 3 dogs and an age range of 80 to 2 years old, meeting to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. If you are looking for manicured lawns, pristine flower beds and a country manor stay then perhaps look at other options but for our family Starfall was ideal. The house is an old stone farm house full of character with a comfortable lounge large enough for the family to watch a late night film together and cosy enough in which to spend a quiet hour during the day. The rest of the house has bedrooms and bathrooms.The barn extension gives the extra room required for the whole group to dine together plus the well equipped kitchen, utility room and a ground floor bedroom with bath and a wet room with shower. The hot tub just outside is an added bonus and was well used by our family. Lucky with the fine weather we spent a lot of time outside where there is ample seating to eat or just to relax and chill in the peaceful surroundings watching the more energetic play table tennis or football in the provided goal. There is also ample room to set up a Badminton net and fold-up tennis which we took with us as well as a paddling pool for our younger family members .The large BBQ worked well. There are public footpaths easily accessible for exercising the dogs. We walked down to the rather pleasant village with its riverside park but the walk back up was a challenge! We had a couple of concerns due to our inexperience of the hot tub and dishwasher but Sarah responded quickly to our e-mails with advice and the situations were resolved. If you don't wish to use your cars, as we didn't, it is possible to get 5 cars parked safely off the road. Tesco will also deliver a food shop to the property which we took advantage of. Our family enjoyed the week-end so much they want to make it an annual event and our 2 year old great grandson wants to go back to Nanny and Gramps's other house! Recommended for its peaceful situation in the beautiful countryside.”
