The barn is much bigger than it appears from the online listing. It's so atmospheric - really thick stone walls and lots of wooden beams. The accommodation has everything you would want - two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and very spacious lounge. So peaceful and quiet, in a beautiful little village near the Park and Ride to Bath.

A comfortable cottage in a very quiet location. The surrounding area is beautiful, there are lots of countryside walks available & Bath is a great city to explore. The only minor drawback is that a car is needed on a daily basis.
