a bit about me apparently....I'll try and keep it brief.... I'm a lover of travelling, particularly to far flung places, my home and family, gardening, bubble baths, long lunches with friends and even longer hikes with my hubby, yoga, cinema, theatre, good food with great wine, prosecco, lots and lots of prosecco and just life in general, its all good, I feel very blessed:)

Originally the servants quarters to Backwell Down Manor The Den has undergone many transformations and uses. From offices to a children's play room, The Den has seen it all since the house was built in 1906. Now lovingly and tastefully restored and converted it offers gloriously intimate, totally unique and stylish bed and breakfast accommodation. Nestled in the village of Backwell, and within its own 36 acres of stunning parkland and gardens, it's a perfect spot for a few days away. Brunel or Banksy, whatever your preference, the vibrant city of Bristol, just 6 miles away, has plenty to offer. Alternatively, for the less energetic visitor, just relax and chill out by the pool, stroll through the gardens and woodlands and enjoy wonderful locally sourced food at our friendly pub, just a few minutes walk away. My goal was clear from the outset. As a frequent and choosy traveller myself i wanted to create a place where my guests can unwind and enjoy all the comforts of home life, in their own luxurious and ultra private space, so why not leave your worries, laundry and dishes behind you and come and relax in my beautiful home?

The Den is situated in delightful North Somerset countryside, its all very peaceful here yet the buzz of Bristol and all it has to offer including Brunels famous Clifton Suspension Bridge is just a 10 minute drive away. For you hikers, The Mendips are about a 15 minute drive away and offer some spectacular walking, then finish off the day at our local pub, The George at Backwell, with good food, a great pint of cider (you are in Somerset after all) and roaring fires in the winter. Or you could just take your book and relax by the pool here on a warm summers day, its always heated to at least 26 degrees:) Please feel free to message me if you require more details on the local area, Ive lived here for nearly 25 years so know the area well! See you soon x
