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.

We loved the property and town. Coach home was part modern and part rustic. Owner was close and very responsive to any request. We wish that we had scheduled this part of our trip for a longer time. Mere is a lovely little town.

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.

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!

Longleat break

The cottage was lovely and had everything youd need but it could do with a bit of TLC the windows and the door could really do with a coat of paint and it would be beautiful and welcoming the mattresses and pillows were definitely the worst id ever slept on or never slept on

Stay in the Coach House, Mere

We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House. Helen was very welcoming when we arrived and enthusiastic about our stay and where we wanted to visit. She gave plenty of time to tell us about Stourhead where we mentioned we wanted a visit to. She produced a map of this and the places she’d recommend etc. She let us know she was available if needed but also made sure we had everything we needed. We had a lovely stay and our children (as well as us!) enjoyed the house and the surrounding area.

A lovely property set in a picturesque village.

Overall the property was great, perfect for a smaller family wanting a base to explore the surrounding area. There was plenty of home comforts there which was a real positive. The owner Helen was really friendly, helpful and clearly knowledgeable of the area. The bed/duvet could do with updating as we did not find these overly comfortable but this was really only a very minor negative point. We had a great few days there and our two young boys really enjoyed themselves, we would certainly go back if it wasn't for a third child, which is due imminently, five would be a squeeze for sure.
