Summary: Our multigenerational family group was agreed that the house was perfect. It is extremely attractive and well cared for. Every need is so thoughtfully catered for, including a selection of wellingtons, dog towels, endless games...... It worked so well having the kitchen, dining and main living room run into each other, all so attractive. The three sofas were perfect for our ritual family game of Matthew Mark Luke and John! Additional sitting areas gave the opportunity for seclusion. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped. The bedrooms are all beautiful with extremely comfortable beds so assigning them was easy and everyone was happy! The surroundings are lovely. A visit to Bradford on Avon and walk along the canal were highlights. We would love to come back.

Summary: Beautifully thought out entertaining house that is warm and homely. The kitchen / conservatory are super spacious and as an added bonus, the living room is joined on making the perfect area for cooking, entertaining and dining. The bedrooms are all large with fabulous cosy beds and the garden and view are just lovely. We loved the Inn at Freshford close by and the lovely walks through the villages. There are also great canal walks very close by the house. The owners are lovely and super helpful.

Summary: This property was a dream. Better than imagination. It had everything you can imagine from space to utensils. The rooms were all large that there was no arguments who gets what room. The steam shower was a bonus. The only negative I can think of is that we had no reception on our phones and the wifi was not working. We did not bother telling Paul to fix it as we took this as an opportunity to get social media detox. Paul was an amazing host and very accommodating.

Summary: This was our second family stay at Berkeley House and it was just as good as the first! The house is beautiful in a wonderful location. It’s absolutely perfect for a family gathering. Everything has been thought of - it is so well equipped and we really appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations. There was no fighting over the bedrooms as they are all equally desirable. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much Paul and Jackie.

Summary: 14 adults had a fabulous stay at Berkeley house, we would also stay again with the children. It’s a huge house 15 mins from Bath, well stocked kitchen, amazing beds and beautiful grounds. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and it was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the garden in early spring. It would be lovely any time of the year. Thank you we all had a fabulous time!
