Booking this place was very easy. It was a spontaneous plan but we were lucky to find the availability. Best part is you can bring your furbabies. Very close to bright town centre.

Short trip but worth the stay
Very conveniently placed property, with a lot of thoughtfulness in the set up. Ease of access and plenty to do in the vicinity. We were here only for 2 nights which flew by too quickly. We loved the fact we could bring along our two fur babies too. In short we'd definitely be back! Thank you for making our stay comfortable.

Extremely dog friendly
Lovely accomodation, extremely clean, good quality furnishings and sheets. Great little backyard for dogs, "doggy Doo" bags provided and water bowls. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Quiet location but easy walking distance to river, parks and shops. Loved our stay!

Modern, clean and comfortable.
Stayed here twice. The most comfortable bed. Clean and cosy. Yard is securely fenced for dogs, as I travelled with two Cavaliers. Walking distance into town. Nice little kitchenette tucked away and a modern bathroom. Loved the 'Welcome bag of goodies', very thoughtful!

A great base for a stay in Bright
The studio was clean, convenient and comfortable. We stayed for a weekend as we were attending a wedding. We spent most of our time exploring the town and seeing friends. We could walk to and from the studio into town very easily.

Plenty of room, excellent presentation, great loca
Perfect for a group of 6 or 8. It was great to walk in and find the fire ready to light. It was a cold weekend that the group stayed and not to have to look for kindling was wonderful. The property is in walking distance of the main shopping area and very close to the start of the Cherry WAlk - overall a perfect spot to spend a few days.
