Vallis Oak Villa Reviews

We loved our time at Vallis Oak and will certainly be back. Such a fantastic property with a great balance of comfort, luxury, style and space. Wonderful outdoor space was a nice surprise and the hot tub was fantastic for star gazing. Lovely comfortable beds meant for restful nights sleep.

Great space for a family gathering, lovely facilities and communicative host wouldnt hesitate in returning

We have just come back from a fantastic stay at Vallis Oak and it was everything we could have hoped for. Went there as a large family of 10 plus 4 young children for my Moms 80th birthday surprise and it was fab. Would definately recommend and we are already thinking about when we can go back. Thanks Marcus

Annabel

We had a wonderful stay and Vallis Oak Villa. The house with equipped with everything and more, and the images dont do it justice! Its a beautiful house and provided the perfect space to celebrate with friends. The beds were the comfiest we have ever slept in! Thank you so much for a fantastic stay, we will definitely be back!

Jacqui

I can honestly say that all 12 of us absolutely loved staying at the property. It was wellmaintained and all the facilities spot on. With a few hidden extras! Had no idea that the grounds were so big. And the bookcase door to the seller room is a genius idea. The kitchen had every utensil that we needed and more. Could not fault the cleanliness at all it was spotless, apart from unfortunately the cooker which really could do with a good clean. Which I totally understand can't be done every time. If there was a metal scratchy scrubber I could of at least cleaned the grates and trays better. But honestly that is the only downside of the whole experience. Which is miner. We loved the big communal living area and I think that's what made our weekend so great as we were always all together. I am really hoping that we can stay there again In the future.

Finbarr

The property was as advertised and pictured. Well appointed, comfortable quiet location and very peaceful. Cool modcons made it super easy to do meals and negotiate the surroundings. The Sonos speakers made it very enjoyable to sit and listen to great music and was a real bonus given the ongoing Glastonbury festival during our visit. We had an issue with a door bolt that locked us out of 1 of the rooms for a night but there were other rooms and it worked out OK with a repair organised and carried out on schedule. The owner was very attentive and understanding to our needs regarding the whole matter!!

This was a beautiful property, we had a fab weekend here as a group

Alistair

A fabulous property beautifully presented. Very highly recommended. Children loved the cellar and made it their own. They did not want to leave and described it as 'best holiday ever' Likewise the 'well' feature is a clever and attractive concept. The only very minor problem was not taking a 2 to 3 pin plug converter as the en suite does not have a shaver socket so I could not charge my razor or electric toothbrush. OK for a short stay but not anything longer. Hope to return for another stay in the future.

A group of us had a weekend away in Frome and were blown away by the place. It is a lovely space to hang out and cook with a well equipped kitchen and living room. I would also like to mention that the host Marcus was brilliant. Really responsive, helpful and friendly. Thank you for everything!

This was the perfect space for a weekend gathering of 12. The main room is such a sociable, wellequipped space. The house is stylishly decorated and every room is a great size with comfy beds. The only drawback is that one of the two bathrooms is an ensuite, meaning people walk through this bedroom to use it or ten people share a bathroom. Not too much of an issue for a weekend though.

Raymond

The villa was well looked after, clean and with several benefits. However there was a lack of toilet facilities. On the ground floor there were two double bedrooms. One of these was occupied by an 87 year old lady who was unable to climb the stairs. There was only a toilet on the ground floor. Nowhere to wash oneself properly, or shower. This was situated within the boot room. Turning this into a shower room could have provided facilities for both downstairs double rooms. This sadly let the whole villa down.

Gorgeous house especially for a special occasion. Really wellequipped and homely. Very spacious kitchen and living area so perfect for a big family or group of friends. Great location for visiting Frome and surrounding area. Lovely big garden too and tons of parking. Only downside really is only 2 bathrooms and only a toilet on ground floor level.

Kirsty

Beautiful property, bigger than the photos make it appear. Perfect for a reunion trip with friends or family. Very well stocked kitchen

Vallis Oak Villa was a wonderful setting for a long awaited threegeneration family gathering. The house is spacious and very comfortable and every need was catered for. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio and huge garden and the children loved the swing, trampoline and football goal and everyone loved the hot tub. We would thoroughly recommend Vallis Oak Villa.

Beautiful house in a lovely location. We had a petty of 10 stay here and everyone enjoyed it. The bed were very comfortable and the house was spacious, easily accommodating us all. The fire pit was a bonus and many pleasant evenings were spent sitting round it.

Deirdre

Excellent property for a larger group. The owner Marcus very attentive to our needs. Very pleased he agreed to allow us into his beautiful home. Frome a great place with loads of places to visit nearby.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it doesnt disappoint! A fantastic place to stay.

Phoebe

We had an amazing stay at Vallis Oak Villa. The house is fantastic and as others have said, the pictures dont do it justice! The house was welllocated, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and theres also a downstairs WC, utility room and small basement which has bean bags and a TV. Theres a sonos system, games, towels for the hot tub and an outdoor seating area too. We would definitely recommend this property! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Victoria

We loved our stay! The house was absolutely stunning, so much space.

Hannah

Wow! What an amazing house. Pure Luxury. Everything we needed was there, beds sooo comfortable. Gardens were lovely, as was the hot tubvery clean. The owner was in touch and happy to be contacted if we needed. They were very accommodating. Would highly recommend this property and frome. Lovely Sunday roast in the archangel if youre not in a rush as service a bit slow. Amazing shops. Hoping to return next year.

Excellent stay and the house was immaculately presented in all internal aspects. The garden could do with a little bit of TLC. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.....many thanks.

Vallis Oak Villa is a stunning house that is even better in reality than it looks in the photos. Marcus is a wonderful host. Highly recommended.

Jessica

Easy booking from start to finish. Communication from host excellent. The house was absolutely beautiful, clean and well maintained. Everyone commented on how comfy the beds were. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessary utensils. We had a fabulous weekend. Perfect base for visiting both Bath and Bristol. Wouldnt hesitate to use again.

The property was amazing and very clean. The only thing was there was no hand soap in the upstairs bathroom. Other than that everything was amazing and everything was very kitted out.

Leanne

We stayed here as a group of 10 friends, and we had the best weekend! Relaxing and enjoying time together celebrating my birthday! It was easy to find, the house and rooms inside were lovely and the hot tub was also fab. Would love to come back again and stay in the future.

This is a fantastic place to stay it is faultless. We would not hesitate to stay here again it caters for all. A lot of thought has gone into catering for everyones needs and the three generation & four legged friends that stayed here absolutely loved it! There were great walks, good coffee shops and amenities in Frome itself, all within walking distance. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday home!

Our party of eight had a fantastic weekend stay and we highly recommend the property. Its very easy to find, with a pretty drive and tons of parking space. The house is lovely, very private yet only a short walk into Frome, and superbly equipped. The main open plan living area is fantastic, comfortable sofas, cosy underfloor heating, a huge dining table and a great kitchen. All of the bedrooms are large, comfortable and have high quality bedding. We made use of several of the restaurants close by, the Royal Bengal Indian just 2 minutes away, Bistro Lotte for lunch on a busy Saturday and the Old Bath Arms for Sunday roasts, all were very good. Any areas for improvement, just a couple of things, there is only a family bathroom plus an onsuite in the main bedroom there is a downstairs cloakroom also so for a 6 bedroom house it could do with an extra bath or shower roomand the temperature varied across the house, upstairs bedrooms hot, downstairs bedrooms cold. But these are small things and overall we were incredibly happy with the house, its brilliant.

Katharine

Vallis Oak Villa is an outstanding place to stay, it has everything you need, plus more. Everything was clean & tidy, the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of parking. All the spaces, including the garden, felt bigger than the pictures. We were a group of nine staying in the accommodation, with six local guests joining us for dinner one evening, there was plenty of room for everyone. I would definitely recommend this place and would hope to stay here again.

Catherine

This property is amazing. We had an incredible time. Everything we needed was there. The beds were comfortable, property was clean. Then open plan living area was exactly what we were looking for with our group of 10 people. Thank you so much. We have already spoken as a group about booking the property again!

Joseph

This is an amazing place for a group of friends or a family to get together. Well suited for kids too. The pictures don't do it justice. It's a big house with great communal areas and a very well equipped, high spec kitchen. Location is awesome, with country walking on the doorstep and an easy 15 min walk into town. We can't wait to come back sometime. Many thanks!

Gordon

Great house in a great location. Major Advantage was the car parking as loads of room and took our 5 cars easily. Kitchen and social area fantastic for large group.

This house was exactly like the pictures and description, think this is the first time this has happened to us, the house was amazing and we had a lovely family holiday here.

Beautiful house, perfect for a family gathering!
