Our hosts were lovely and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only challenge was the small parking spot. We had rented a larger car. Centrally situated in a beautiful village. The food and milk set out for us was an added gesture. Thank you
Lovely spacious property in a beautiful location with easy access to Bath and other local sights by road or rail. The cottage is a short walk to the train station with hourly trains to bath during off peak times. Not having to drive into Bath was a real bonus. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and a really lovely place to relax. Having two en suite bathrooms was a real bonus. The local shop and tea room is only a short walk, maybe 15 mins, though it is hilly so plan to use a car if this could be an issue. There is also no accessible access to the return side of the station platform but GWR are worth a call if step free access is needed. I would highly recommend The Rafters and would definitely stay there again.
Es war toll.Robin und Wendy haben alles getan, um uns einen perfekten Aufenthalt zu schenken. Danke auch fĂŒr das erste FrĂŒhstĂŒck.Das Haus ist sehr sauber und super gepflegt. Es war nicht wie eine Ferienwohnung, es war wie zuhause.Tolle Betten, keine durchgelegene Matratze.Aber mein Highlight war die KĂŒche! In einer Ferienwohung eine Pfanne nahezu ohne Kratzer zu bekommen, habe ich noch nie gehabt. Dieses ist auch das perfekte Beispiel fĂŒr die Ausstattung und die Sauberkeit der Wohnung.Den Kindern hat es auch groĂe Freude bereitet dort wohnen zu dĂŒrfen.Danke euch beiden!
The apartment was even nicer than the photos. Robin and Wendy were both wonderful hosts and helped with recommendations and questions. Terrific hosts. Finding the train station was just a five minute walk was a very nice bonus.
My wife and parents had an excellent stay at The Rafters. The property is well equipped and situated in a quiet yet convenient location. Only ten minutes travel time to Bath using the train. Two big bedrooms and two en-suites. We made good use of the train station, shop and pub (Hop Pole Inn). Highly recommended.
We loved our stay at the Rafters. We were welcomed with fresh eggs and ham for our first breakfast and enjoyed walking around the town. Robin and Wendy were very responsive attentive hosts. The home was clean and cozy!
Owners very helpful. House really well decorated and equipped. Provisions for breakfast much appreciated. Great position for visiting the area. Inn at Freshford and local shop very good.
Wir waren sehr begeistert von dieser Unterkunft! Es wurde an alles gedacht und uns hat nichts gefehlt!
Die Unterkunft ist sehr geschmackvoll und qualitativ hochwertig eingerichtet und sehr sauber.
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen.
Die Lage ist auch toll. Man kann tolle SpaziergÀnge durch den idyllischen Ort machen. Durch die Bahnstation in der NÀheist es aber auch möglich weiter entfernte Orte anzusehen. Wir konnten das Auto oft stehen lassen und z.B. Bath oder Cardiff mit der Bahn erreichen..
Also insgesamt ein sehr gelungener Urlaub.
Thank you very much Wendy & Robin!

Quaint and charming cottage in English countryside
If you want to stay in a quiet place away from the tourist crunch in Bath this is the place for you. The owners communicated promptly and informatively. Very personable, as upon arrival they left us a handwritten note welcoming us and advising they had left bread, butter, milk and eggs in the frig for our first morning meal. Enter the postal code and the GPS will take you there. Some congested one lane roads but beautiful countryside. Front door parking and covered entry. Fully equipped kitchen and large dining table. Freezer is in living area and they could use a couple of ice trays ready to go, as us Americans like ice in just about all our drinks. Comfy sofa and arm chair. Two nice size bedrooms with two full baths, but no hand towels or face towels. Big tub/shower combo in roomy bathroom attached to master bedroom with big comfy bed. If you want a top sheet but not the warmth of the comforter, it has snaps at the bottom so you can take the comforter out of the duvet. No air conditioning or even a fan, so you have to crack windows. Watch the step upsâI stubbed my toe several times. The washer and dryer are in the cabinets going downstairs. When we used the washer the water ran down the front of the cabinet and wetted the carpet on the stairs. Upon further investigation we discovered the PVC pipe wasnât even connected. I emailed the owner and they said no worries they would take care of it
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay Rafters. It was close to everything, very clean and quiet. We all loved our 3 day visit! There was even complimentary eggs, bacon, tea, coffee and a beautiful loaf of bread for our first meal while there.
Lovely stay. 10 mins from bath on the train. Beautiful neighbourhood, I would highly recommend the food at the inn - it is huge and delicious. House was super clean and spacious. Owners gave great recommendations for walks/ things to do and were super responsive. Thank you so much!
We loved our stay in Freshford. The home was spacious, clean and updated. The bathrooms were well kept and seemed to be recently renovated. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Our hosts were great with recommendations for the area and even left us breakfast provisions. Loved having a washer and dryer available in the home to use. Kitchen is small but more than enough for a vacation stay. Convenient to Bath and a great restaurant just a walk down the hill. I would highly recommend this home and Robin and Wendy as hosts.
From our 1st communication w the owners to check in and stay, this was an excellent experience. Easy access to Bath for sightseeing on the local train which was just down the lane. Several east and scenic walks in the area, good eateries an easy drive or short walk
The host was very kind in leaving a few basics for our first breakfast there. The place was very spacious and worked well for two couples. it was a very pleasant stay indeed.
My stay at The Rafters (with my spouse and my parents) was exactly as I expected. The photos and online description matched what we found when we arrived, and the hosts gave plenty of information about how to find it, get into the place, etc. so getting there was totally stress free. There were lots of added "extras" that made the stay even better-- the guidebook with restaurant recommendations, some provisions in the fridge-- and the location of the home in Freshford was ideal (close to the train station to get easily get to Bath or other cities). I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!
Very clean and well kept. The check-in process was simple and easy. Robin and Wendy very kindly provided some complimentary treats and lots of guidance on things to do and visit nearby. Would definitely recommend - Thank you
