Celebrated a family special birthday…

Celebrated a family special birthday and could not fault this accommodation. Every single detail has been thought of. The standard of cleanliness, equipment and facilities was superb. The Host Tom was great, before whist booking and on the day of arrival. A recommended venue for any large gathering in just a beautiful location and setting.

Fabulous

Fabulous, fun,family weekend. Sean was there when we arrived. Showed us around and showed us how to use the,steam room,shana,swimming pool hot tub and kitchen appliances. There were notes and literature on the property and local amenities/interest. The property was clean, had everything we needed,well appointed and a nice touch was having posh biscuits and bottled apple pressie waiting for us on arrival. The beds in all rooms were comfortable. We all a family of 14 mixed generations had a fabulous time.
Thankyou to Sean and Karen.

Unclean, rude, intoxicating causing illness

Sadly our recent experience (Feb 26) wasn't what we would have hoped it to be and worst of all, it was dealt with so carelessly and rudely that I am left to leave a warning advice for using this company.
It was our first time using them for a girls weekend away, celebrating a special birthday. The house looked amazing, we were all travelling for minimum 2 1/2 hours away and excited for the adventure.
We were told 6 hours before we were due to arrive by text message that the sauna at the premises wasn't available to use due to flooding and would we like to cancel. We called them and with the limited time you given us and with some of us already enroute via trains, that we had no choice to proceed. They reassured us that the rest of the house and hot tub in particular was in working order and ready for us.
We turned up and the house was beautiful, except for a cold hub tub which also wasn't clean.
We called them and told them our concern, he said they had emptied it to clean it after having other guests, they laughed and said would we rather it be hot and dirty- sadly we had neither benefit.
We continued trying to make the most of our evening for the sake of not ruining it but we deeply concerned and considering whether we should leave. We checked the temperature of the hut tub again at midnight before going to bed and although it indicated that the temperature was higher it didnt feel it and I feared that it wasn't working properly, I informed the contact via text to let them know. They responded saying they will check in with us the next day.

In the morning thankfully the hot tub was warm. We waited for the contact to come round and to contact us- no word from them at all for the rest of the weekend.
We continued to use the hot tub and the house in order to make the most of the weekend.

On the first night one of us found the bleach smell in her room to be very strong and struggled to open the window. She couldn't but eventually fell asleep. For the rest of the weekend she felt unwell and considered that she had come down with something. 10 days later when she is still struggling to breath and with a horrendous cough that began on the first night, she went to check at the doctors who have diagnosed her with chemical bronchitis.... from the bleach which has burnt her throat.

The worst part of all of this is that Sleeps12 have been so careless and unsympathetic to our pleas of bad service and only gave us a 12% discount.
Shocking.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry your stay did not meet expectations. We always do our very best to ensure our guests’ stays run as smoothly as possible; however, some circumstances — such as the severe and unexpected flooding we experienced in February — are unfortunately beyond anyone's control. As soon as we were informed that the flooding had affected the facilities, the owner contacted you and offered the option to cancel with a full refund. We are sorry that it was too late for your group, but the property owner did their best in these challenging circumstances.

We are very sorry to hear about the health concerns mentioned. No one wants a getaway to end on that note. Guest well-being is extremely important to us, and we always encourage guests to let us know immediately if anything feels uncomfortable during their stay so that we can step in and assist straight away. Neither the property owners nor we received any report regarding a strong cleaning product smell during your stay. Had we been informed, we would have acted immediately — including inspecting the room and offering an alternative bedroom if necessary. At the same time, we trust that guests will prioritise their own wellbeing and seek appropriate care if needed.
In an effort to resolve the inconvenience following your stay, we contacted the lead booker twice to offer compensation in recognition of the disruption caused by the flooding; however, we did not receive a response.

We remain committed to maintaining high standards across all of our properties and are always open to constructive dialogue, while recognising that certain unforeseen events can sit beyond anyone’s direct control.

Great place to get together

Very spacious, clean and well equipped ( a bigger freezer would have been good.) good value for the time of year ( February.) swimming pool was a big hit as was the trampoline. We all agreed the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely use this company again.

Birthday Weekend

The house we stayed in for a family birthday weekend was perfect for our needs catering for teenage grandchildren and adults. The facilities were excellent the indoor pool, games and snooker table kept them all entertained. Ideally situated for us in the middle of nowhere! The company were extremely helpful throughout the booking process and in particular when we needed to change various extras at short notice. Will definitely be booking with this company again.

Fuzzy Orchard is one of my favourite…

Fuzzy Orchard is one of my favourite properties within the Sleeps 12 portfolio. Immaculately decorated, surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills and countryside of Somerset and set up to ensure you have an amazing stay whether it is work, rest or play. Perfect for business retreats, team builds or just a just special time with family and friends. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Wonderful family get away

The booking process was easy and very clear from the start.
The house itself was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 3 children. Fully equip with everything you would need for.
I would highly recommend the property and location. We stayed the end of January, i think the property would be even more memorable in the summer.

The venue was beautiful

The venue was beautiful. Well set out and had wonderful welcoming gifts.
The postcode on the booking was incorrect and was actually 20 miniutes away from the venue. We had to use the what three words reference after connecting with the owner.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced when trying to find the property. Unfortunately, postcodes can sometimes cover a wide street or a large area. For this reason, we provide a what3words reference in the booking confirmation, as this will guide you to the exact location.

Thank you for your understanding, and we’re delighted that you had a great time at the house.
