Nempnett Farmhouse Reviews

Nempnett farmhouse is such a fantastic place to stay, the photos just dont do it justice! Meg was a fantastic host and extremely welcoming she even put up a birthday banner and lovely message after finding out we were there for a birthday celebration which was a really lovely touch. The house was huge but also felt very homely and extremely well looked after, everything was clean, and the facilities and location were both great. I couldnt recommend this place highly enough!
The farmhouse is fabulous the owner Meg has thought of everything, the farmhouse caters for young children so well the toy cupboard is stocked with toys also lots of books and board games for children and adults. We stayed with 4 generations of our family from 18 months to 88 years! The hot tub was a firm favourite and the outside space was great with climbing frame and slide and a lovey touch was the homemade cakes! A personal birthday message was left on the blackboard which was great! The bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate, five star cleanliness throughout the whole house. Games room was a bonus. Meg was easily contactable and responded by return if you had any questions. Would 100 recommend this house for all age groups. A stay with lots of family memories made!
Nempnett Farmhouse is absolutely beautiful and we could not have wished for a better place to celebrate my special birthday with family. The fresh milk and muffins were delicious and the extra touches like the birthday banner and the bottle of bubbly and lovely message just added to a perfect weekend. The house is so well equipped, the beds amazingly comfortable and the living room and dining room were perfect. The kitchen has everything you could need too. The highlight for my grandsons was the hot tub and games room. We have enjoyed a wonderful weekend together many thanks indeed.
Rosemary
Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We were 8 adults but there was plenty of room. Personally I would have liked an en suite but with 3 bathrooms we were able to cope very well
5 accommodation for everything. Excellent communications. Loved the Farmhouse and really hope to return maybe at Christmas New Year or Easter. Thank you for the cakes birthday banner milk etc. Sweets on towels were a treat. Baby items were very useful too especially the stairgates which are now being resourced by toddlers parents. Wished we could have stayed longer than the weekend but wortk calls for most of the family. Thank you again Meg and family x
Joanne
We would highly recommend Nempnett Farmhouse! It's the perfect get away, in a beautiful area. On arrival we were greeted with a personal message and delicious muffins. We explored the local area using the maps provided, found the pub which was recommend by Meg, relaxed in the hot tub & garden, cooked in the well equipped kitchen, ate plenty of food in the spacious dining room, played games in lounge, and slept well in the comfortable beds! Everything was perfect, thank you!
Caroline
Lovely clean comfortable cottage, plenty of room for our big family. Kids loved the hot tub and games room.
The most comfortable and spacious house we have stayed in so far. Great WiFi and bandwidth for 8 users, the hot tub was a highlight and much used. The owner left a personal message and cupcakes, which were much appreciated and was always available to answer any queries. Beautiful situation in easy reach of many days out. Recommend visiting Wake the Tiger, We the Curious explore science in a fun way and Wookey Hole, amongst many days out.. Every one from 92 to 7 months had a brilliant time. Best recycling facilities in any holiday property so far and best games room.
Belinda
We were celebrating a couple birthdays, it was an amazing house and we had the best time. Inside and out side seating that we could all sit together 9 of us and beautiful walks nearby around the lake. Great Pub for dinner too hilly to walk but great view when you're there Thanks so much.
Stephan
This is a wonderful place to stay with a lot of character and charm. The house is spacious, comfortable, clean, and very well equipped with good sized bedrooms and bathrooms, and a large sitting room and kitchen. The garden is well laid out, very secure, with a climbing frame and a slide for children. There were fourteen of us including six toddlers all aged under four and it was a real pleasure to spend time in both the house and garden. Meg went great lengths to make us feel at home, with home made cakes, milk in the fridge, and a welcome message on the blackboard. She was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The farmhouse is set in beautiful countryside but within reach of the coast and towns like Glastonbury and Wells. It is an excellent place to stay and we thoroughly recommend it.
Fab place Everything was beautiful
This house was amazing, in a beautiful location with views for days. It was massive and fitted all 12 of us with ease. The hot tub and games room were an added bonus. Honestly 1010 would recommend to anyone looking for some time away from the hustle and bustle. Meg was lovely and accommodating and even went to the trouble of some thoughtful little touches, such as bunting and some delicious homemade cake!!
Excellent property for a large gathering . Bedrooms and lounges were very comfortable. Games room and hot tub were a treat! Location was beautiful, lots of footpaths. House very clean and welcoming, plenty of crockery and cooking utensils etc. Loved the muffins left for us!
Dannyan
What an absolutely beautiful Farmhouse! We stayed as a family of 12 including 4 children. The house itself had everything you needed with every fine detail thought out by the owners. When we arrives there was a lovely welcome notice with recommendations of local to dos. And an eater egg hunt for the children. Well presented and lovely and clean. Highly recommend Nempnett Farmhouse. Thank you so much!
Cynthia
The house was amazing and we had a great time. There is one thing that wasn't great is that the house is in the middle of nowhere and you cannot walk anywhere, you would always need a car to go anywhere. The roads were very narrow .
Absolutely superb property and amenities, lovely welcome and contact before arrival, if we need to head towards Bristol again we'll definitely be back.

The house was great and we had an amazing stay. It was clean, comfortable and very spacious. The owners were friendly and left us to it. I would highly recommend staying here.
Rebecca
Absolutely fabulous property and owners. Owners couldn't have been kinder, more communicative and welcoming. The house is amazing all the mod cons and comforts but in a traditional farmhouse, we all loved our time at Nempnett and really didn't want to leave. Location was ideal, 20 minutes in to Bristol but super quiet in it's own right. We checked to see if the house was available for Xmas and were so disappointed to find it was all booked up. Thank you to the Fords for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful house.

What a beautiful home, property was alot more spacious that we thought. We were a family of 12 with a 2 month old baby. Everyone had a great weekend, lovely country walks, hot tub, and outdoor games rooms. The host Meg was excellent on communication and recommendations. We would definitely book again in the future

Ms Llinos Thomas
We are so so happy to have found this property. It was absolutely huge & beautifully furnished & decorated. Each of the 3 bathrooms had gorgeous fittingsfixtures & all the bedrooms were spacious with the most comfortable of beds. Best sleep Ive had in quite some time. The jacuzzi was huge & amazing set in an enclosed private garden area which was brilliant for the dogs the garden not the jacuzzi I hasten to add The entire property was spotlessly clean with everything you would need for a holiday away. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay & in fact weve only just arrived home & had to get writing a well deserved review. What we found thoughtful was the little finishing touches that the owners had thought of. For instance chocolates on our towels in each of our bedrooms fresh milk in the fridge and home made cakes to welcome us. Not forgetting the huge home grown pumpkin for the children to carve out to celebrate Halloween

Jackie
A wonderful farmhouse, beautifully decorated, with everything an extended family could need. 7 adults, 3 children 8, 7 & 3 and 1 medium dog, enjoyed a great holiday together here. The garden is fully enclosed so your furry friend is safe. A huge plus for us. The hot tub was great, and the patio and garden are ideal for the kids to play and adults to relax. The farmhouse itself is just perfect. Lots of space. A really practical, beautiful bespoke oak kitchen with everything you could need. The lounge is large with an enormous inglenook fireplace housing the log burner and plenty of seating. Beautiful deep pile carpet that our girly girl daughter said was divine. All of the bedrooms are spacious and have plenty of storage, and the beds are really large or super large and very comfortable. Mattresses on the the firmer side, which suited us perfectly. The bathrooms are spacious and have fab showers with great pressure. The children couldn't get over the space. The single thing we all absolutely loved was enjoying family meals in the dining room together at the lovely dining table. Our 8 year old granddaughter said that's what she loved the most about the whole week. The games room was well used too. There was nothing we didn't like. Everything spotlessly clean. It is in a rural location, so be prepared for some narrow lanes with passing places. We had 2 x 7 seaters and a saloon car and didn't have any problems. Plenty of parking. Dog walking along lanes and footpaths. Ordnance Survey maps free trial was useful. Easy enough to get to Bristol, WestonSupermare, Brean Sands. Would highly recommend Tynings Trekking for horse riding, and we had a wonderful day out at Noahs Ark Farm and Zoo. Well worth the money. Would highly recommend Nempnett. Owners live nearby, but completely unobtrusive. We also ordered a Tesco delivery for the evening of our arrival which worked perfectly well.
