Gatcombe Court Bed and Breakfast

Fabulous place excellent breakfast good bus links and in a tranquil peaceful setting would.definately.come again

We booked this accommodation through the airBNB website and were so disappointed by this property we decided to leave and stay elsewhere - I agree with the host that this is not a boutique hotel - and whilst their charges are lower than some locally - I don't believe the costs constitute value for money given the quality on offer when compared with other 'shared' accommodation. Our principle concern and main reason for leaving without staying overnight was that this property is listed as "entire house" when in fact it is part of the hosts property. Whilst there is a private entrance door, there are access doors into the accommodation on both floors with no way of securing them from the guest's perspective. The hosts can therefore come and go as they please (they assure me they wouldn't, but we have no way of knowing this). The listing also doesn't make clear that you only have access to rooms as deemed necessary by the host. We had planned to stay with our young child but were only allocated one room, we discovered later that had we wanted access to the second room we would have needed to pay extra for this. The "kitchen" is simply a sink and fridge with the smallest amount of milk left for tea/coffee. Finally, we were informed that a cot would be available on arrival. This was well over 60 years old and falling apart (the host suggested that he would need to put a nail in to secure it the next morning) - if you decide to stay here with a small child, please take your own travel cot, despite the hosts protests to the contrary I consider the cot offered to be dangerous. If you are looking for somewhere basic to sleep then I'm certain this will be adequate for your needs, I can't comment on breakfast but a good range of cereals were available and I'm sure it was fine. On the whole I do not consider this property to represent good value for money,.

Don't come here if you want a clean modern house, exactly what you'd expect for a 1930's cottage, very homely. The pool and gardens was lovely, breakfast was great and David and Bridget were welcoming :)

Fab place! Lovely breakfast. Excellent hosting from David & Bridget. Highly recommend booking.

Lovely hold house! Great place to stay
