"Everything was perfect for our stay at Meadow View, Christopher was really attentive and helped us a lot with information for our trip to Bath. Meadow View is immaculate with all you need for a very comfortable stay and more, the breakfast was fantastic and our host very interesting, polite and friendly, it really exceeded our expectations. I do really recommend it to anyone and surely I would come back if I ever have the opportunity again, thanks for everything." - Efren Rivera, East Sussex.
"Meadow View were indeed exceptional hosts. Their attention to detail, informal style and local knowledge made for a treat of a weekend. We'd love to stay again. Thank you!" - Jenny, Nick and Cal Drew, Birmingham.
"Perfect experience. We were probably some of the tougher guests that Chris will ever have to put up with, three children under five arriving early (allowed us to check in before time) and jet lagged (they woke up early to give us breakfast). We and our children were made to feel so much at home, and treated like honoured guests. Everything was catered for, food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. We actually stayed two days, one week apart, and each was just so special. We have numerous examples of where Chris went beyond the call of duty, such as reading to our five year old for an hour, who enjoyed himself so much on the second stay he brought a new book and sought Chris out to read it to him.
Already considering for next year. Thank you for all you did!" - The Lyon Family, Penang, Malaysia.

"An excellent stay in a wonderful friendly, clean and beautiful environment. We could not fault anything with our stay at Meadow View. I loved the way the owner met us outside and was so friendly. Immediately fresh coffee was brought to our room, a boon after a long journey. The room itself was incredibly clean with modern decor. The bathroom was separate but we knew that when we booked. Again this was so clean and modern. The breakfast was pretty much all you can eat with amazing local organic produce, all freshly cooked. Even the location was beautiful centrally located between the coast, Bath, Cheddar, and Wells and Glastonbury. Wonderful!" - Paul C Irons, Bishops Stortford.

"Most unexpectedly wonderful stay with yourselves. We stay all over the world, but your bed and breakfast has a unique charm and offers comfort beyond expectation. You were both so warm and welcoming, and we we just totally relaxed in our lovely room. The bathroom deserves special mention and the gorgeous organic lotions, towels etc. available. I should have liked to have sampled more of your delicious food. Not often that we would go to the trouble of writing a review, but your B&B deserves to be supported. If we are in the area again, we would definitely return. Thank you." - Mary and Graham Silverton, Horncastle, Lincolnshire.
"We absolutely loved our stay with Chris - one of our best ever B&B experiences! The welcome was warm, our room was immaculate with a very comfortable bed, excellent shower and lots of fantastic treats! Chris also supplied a manual containing recommendations for local food and attractions and was more than happy to chat to us about our plans.
The breakfast was the absolutely the best we've ever had any any B&B or hotel! Amazing local produce cooked to perfection by Chris who's also trained chef and a fantastic host.
The location of Meadow View is very convenient as there are plenty of nearby attractions and great places to eat out. Chew Magna village is quite literally three minutes drive away.
We couldn't have been happier and would definitely stay at Meadow View again." - Ben and Verity, St Albans, Hertfordshire.
"One word!!!! AWESOME! It's like a 5* star but with a personal touch. Super clean with every detail thought about. Lovely comfy. Great views out of the window.
Now the hosts. Very warm and welcoming with a lovely attitude towards their guests. Nothing seemed a problem and gave us lots of great advice.
The icing on top of an already good cake is the breakfast in this place. I know all the reviews say it but wow!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to ruin every other breakfast you may ever eat then come here!!!! Everything fresh and locally sourced. Home made jams from Chris himself. Just great.
We will be returning even if it's just a night away from city life!! It was pleasure staying with you." - Andrew Sayle and Laura, Worthing, West Sussex.

The location is idyllic and Meadow View was spotless, with a 5-star attention to detail given to all aspects of our experience and the thought that went into every aspect of our stay, from the fudge and jug of water by the bed (which is super comfy), to the toiletries and dressing gowns in the bathroom. We were given excellent recommendations for local dining and sightseeing, and Chris cooked us the most delicious breakfast with unbeatable organic ingredients that I have ever tasted.
