Totts House was as very accurately described in the listing. The hosts were hugely welcoming with a more than expected welcome food pack and also generous tea and coffee provisions. They were very attentive to our party's personnel needs and even provided a Christmas Tree to the delight of my little Grandson and the rest of the group and gave the house a real home from home feeling, particularly at this time of year. We would not hesitate in recommending Totts House to family and friends visiting this part Wiltshire. We are all hoping to return there soon!

It was a beautiful getaway, very comfortable, clean and cosy and perfect for what we needed. There were seven of us celebrating a 50th birthday, and the house was in a great location, being so near to Bath and lovely villages to explore. Thank you Chris and Lizzie, we loved it!
