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

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.

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!

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.

Always a treat to be here
Always a treat to be here. Helen has become a friend, we have been here so often. She is incredibly sweet and accommodating. My son has been unwell this time and she was so thoughtful. This is a lovely spot with so many walks right from the door, and places to shop and eat. Close to so many beautiful outings, too. Mere is a very special little town set in spectacular rural scenery. Stourhead, one of the national trust’s flagship properties is literally five minutes away. The cottage is very quiet and comfortable, cozy and cheerful. Very nice bath and all you need. I would definitely recommend it. Wonderful host. Oh, and I so appreciate the lovely bottle of red wine. Thank you Helen!

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.
