“perfect self catering cottage for two”

Reviewed 30 January 2011

This self catering cottage is nicely furnished and properly equipped for a couple. The bed is comfortable and larger than a standard double and lots of pillows provided. The bathroom is really good with bath and separate shower. It also has a bidet. The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking meals (no dishwasher though). The owner is very accommodating when asked and leaves you to it which is perfect for self catering. The cottage does not have its own heating time control so be sure to let the owner know your requirements. There is a fast wired broadband connection but not wifi. There is some traffic noise from the road at the morning rush hour but It is in a good location for Bath and Bristol. Altogether, it is definitely good value and among the best of the small cottages I have stayed in.

“Excellent B&B in a quiet location but handy for Bristol and Bath.”

Reviewed 14 December 2010

We just stayed one night after visiting relatives. The B&B is excellent in all respects. Our room and en-suite were spotless and the beds very comfortable. The room had a good widescreen TV and a pleasant view of the countryside. Breakfast was also excellent. Definitely a winner!

“Home from Home!”

Reviewed 31 October 2010

Southwood House is a Victorian house and is full of character. Warm and welcoming, it is the famiy home complete with Daisy the Retriever. Our warm room was spacious with en-suite (super shower), tv, fresh crisp bed linen, tea and coffee making facilities - fresh milk offered every day when we returned. Full English breakfast freshly cooked, fresh fruit salad and cereals, tea, coffee and toast.
Set on the outskirts of Wick, just off the A420, ideally placed for touring the area. Bristol in one direction, Bath just down the road in the other. Cheddar Gorge, and Longleat within easy driving distance. Local pub Rose and Crown is just under a mile away and serves excellent food.

“Loved it!”

Reviewed 5 July 2009

My partner and I stayed at this wonderful B&B for Friday and Saturday nights in early July while attending a wedding at a nearby hotel. This meant the location was perfect for us. Even as we pulled up we knew we'd made the right choice in booking into Southwood House.

From the moment we arrived we were made extremely welcome. We were shown to our room which, even at night, was light and airy. The decor was beautiful, the setting idyllic and the hospitality first-rate. The room had a TV with channels 1-5 and tea and coffee making facilities. The shower was excellent and the room absolutely spotless. The decor was very quaint and really complemented the setting.

Breakfast was a treat with plenty of choice served in a gorgeous room. Mrs Stowey is a wonderful hostess who made us feel very welcome and gave us the space and flexibility we needed.

It was an overwhelmingly positive experience and if we're ever back that way again, we'll stay at Southwood House.
