Mere was quite busy over the Bank Holiday weekend, but this was not a problem. We had an excellent meal in the Stapleton Arms, Buckhorn Weston. The owners and staff were lovely, and they serve fresh fish daily.

Great stay.

Coach House was the perfect location for our short break. The rustic cottage is comfortable, clean and has all the facilities needed for a home from home stay. The host was very friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome. The village is quiet and picturesque with several pubs, takeaways and small shops.

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Coach House, and managed to visit lots of lovely local towns all a short distance away, Frome and Shaftesbury were both highlights with lovely independent shops and spots to eat. The house is very comfortable and perfect for a family looking for a cosy escape. Mere is a beautiful little town, Helen was a great host and we had everything we needed on hand for a really relaxing stay surrounded by stunning walks and scenery.

History Festival Visit

We stayed for 2 nights whilst in the area for the Chalke History Festival. The Coach House was perfect for our needs and the village of Mere was great for evening meals choices and after dinner drinks. Helen, our host, met us as we arrived and gave us a very warm welcome. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Great house and good place to start exploring

We had a great time in the coach house. Helen was very welcoming and the property was even better than the impressions from the website. Everything was clean, the inventory was very complete and the house is very cosy on a rainy day. We did a lot of great trips from Mere. Within 1.5 hours drive there is really a lot to discover. I can really recommend this property.

A lovely accommodation in Mere

A very good equipped house with a little garden. The small village of Mere is almost next to Stourhead House and Gardens. Even other attractions of the counties Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset are easy to reach. Our host Helen was very friendly with a lot of recomandations for activities.

Cosy stay

Located in a lovely village. We went for a lovely meal in a pub called the walnut tree which is a nice 15 minute walk. The coach house is cosy and comfortable.A well equipped kitchen with the added perk of a coffee machine and frother. Host Helen was very responsive to messages and gave us some helpful information about the local area. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful, cosy cottage in Mere

We had another lovely stay over Christmas, this cottage as usual, provides a very comfortable, homely base and met all our needs. Helen always quickly responds to messages and fixed a light bulb within minutes. The cottage is well located within walking distance from the centre. I highly recommend it!
