• "Lovely cottage with easy bus access into Bath."

  The welcome pack included nice essentials and the village shop was a stone throw away. We really enjoyed our stay, and we would highly recommend.

  Great location - we walked into Bath along the canal one day, but could still enjoy being in a village setting.

• "Wonderful stay over the new year."

  Great welcome pack and lovely to receive a welcome email from the owner before we arrived .Cosy cottage, with everything needed for a relaxing stay. So perfectly positioned in a gorgeous village with a bus stop just around the corner, so super easy to go to Bath and around. We absolutely loved it.

  Thanks Sharon. I’m very happy you had a great New Year’s Eve and week in Sand Fairy. Property Owner

• "Sand Fairy Cottage was an 18th century character cottage and was delightful with open fire and plentiful supply of logs."

  Mike, the owner, was lovely and welcoming. He responded promptly to any questions. We didnt realise the tele was in the cupboard! It was dog friendly with a stair gate and freshly laundered dog blanket. The generous welcome pack had tea, cake, milk, jam, and bread, all bought from the village shop, which was a co-operative. The shop did not allow dogs to step inside, which was surprising. But it was good for essential supplies. The local pub, The Crown served delicious food, and was very friendly. We did the Bath Skyline walk from the cottage, and we walked along the canal to Bradford upon Avon. Parking is easy on the street, but put your wing mirror in, as sadly we discovered ours was ripped off on the day we were leaving. There is nothing not to like. It was just perfect. Highly recommend. Huge thanks to Mike!

• "Great communication from Host, we stayed in late October so appreciated how warm the cottage was and grateful for underfloor heating in the bathroom."

  Could have been made a little more cozy with some throws on bed and sofa. Also would benefit from an outside light and brighter lighting inside. We also felt the cottage has too many personal knick knacks around making it difficult to find space for own belongings. Overall the cottage is in a great location for a quiet stay with easy access into Bath.

  Thanks for the feedback glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay at Sand Fairy cottage."

  The cottage was so cosy and well equipped. The Crown pub just a short walk away and the No 3 bus to take us into Bath city centre. We would highly recommend this cottage both for the home from home stay and also for its position to explore the surrounding areas, Bristol Marina & Cheddar Gorge are a must. Will definitely be staying here again. Thank you

  The cottage itself was an absolute delight, had everything we needed and we loved all the decor, super charming! The location of the property was also spot on, with a lovely local shop and pub a stones throw away. I would highly recommend this property and location to anyone looking to explore a truly beautiful part of the country.

  We got a welcome bag (from the shop) of goodies which was fab! Really close to Bath and many more amazing places, Avebury and Wells particular favourites. Great communication with the host and everything went well on our stay

• "Hi, the cottage was lovely but could do with a few changes."

  We only found couple of cooking utensils in the pot, there were handles there but nothing attached to the ends. It would have been nice to have either a shelf or cupboard that we could have used for our food storage whilst there. For some reason there were 2 dinner services in the cupboards? There were only 2 of us staying and a retriever dog. Tbh I think a big dog is too big for the cottage and it would be a suggestion that small dogs were more suitable for the cottage. And I was a bit worried about breaking any ornaments as there were rather a lot of them! Other then that the bed was wonderfully comfortable, the bedding, towels and dressing gowns were lovely quality, the garden area was nice. The welcome bag was a lovely touch which was very much appreciated. The bathroom was lovely and modern too. Thank you for a lovely week!

  Thanks for the feedback Lesley. I’ll check the utensils next time I visit for changeover as your report is the first I’ve had that some have gone missing. I’ll also clear out a cupboard again (which I have done before but things always gravitate back into it). Anyway I’m very happy you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "The owners have thought about everything to make your stay as hassle free as possible."

  The cottage is well equipped, little bits of attention to detail so appreciated. Arrived to a lovely welcome pack supplied by the local village store of bread butter jam cake milk & tea bags, just what we needed after the long drive down. The cottage is beautifully presented. The bed was so comfy & bedding felt lovely. The nice fluffy dressing gowns also appreciated & a nice good size too. We had brought our dog with us & the owner had supplied gates to secure the front garden. Also stair gates at the bottom & top of the staircase to keep the doggy secure. Bathford is a lovely village, the only one shop is a couple minutes walk down the bank. The Crown pub approx 5 minutes down the bank which we went a few times, lovely rear beer garden. Also a nice walk along the canal path to the George Inn. Highly recommend a stay at this cottage.

  Thanks Alison, Chris and Cooper the Dog - really happy that you had a great time and in gorgeous weather. Property Owner

• "We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay in a cosy, quaint and quirky little cottage."

  We had everything we needed in the cottage, kitchen was fairly well equipped, bed and pillows comfortable. Heating was efficient when needed and underfloor heating in bathroom was appreciated. Lovely to sit out in the front garden when it was warm enough ,in the evening after a long day sightseeing. Is a perfect base for visiting Bath and the Cotswolds, other parts of Somerset, we managed to get to everywhere we planned to easy enough. The village of Bathford was lovely to explore on early morning walks with the dog, the village shop have nice gifts and we tried the coffee in the cafe. We also had two pleasant evenings in The Crown Pub which was a five minute walk down the hill. Also enjoyed an evening meal at the King's Arms pub in a neighbouring village five minutes drive away. We appreciated the welcome pack on arrival and found the cottage to be spotlessly clean on arrival, also had a welcoming email from the host prior to travelling and good communication on stay when needed. All in all a thoroughly brilliant stay and perfect break, we really enjoyed it at Sand Fairy Cottage

• "The cottage was warm and cosy."

  There were plenty of logs but as we have a log burner we took our own logs. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedroom was spacious with good wardrobe space, lovely fluffy dressing gowns. There was no plug for the bath which was a shame as we walked a great deal and would have liked to relax in a bath. The stairs are steep and slippery and the bathroom warm with heated floor, but downstairs so a visit in the night quite hazardous. Weather was terrible so plenty of towels for dogs necessary. Fantastic welcome bag which we really enjoyed. All in all a great 3 night stay.

  Thanks Carol glad you had a good time albeit a bit wet. Yes the downstairs bathroom is a little quirky these days but the Historic Building Listing places restrictions on layout. Sorry the Bath plug had gone missing (probably went out with the towels) it has now been replaced so thanks for letting me know. I’ll also give more thought to the stairs, I’ve already added hand rails and will look into anti-slip stair edges on top of the carpet if this is feasible. Thanks again. Mike Property Owner

  The cottage was well equipped with everything you need for a stay. The pictures accurately reflect the cottage and there was plenty of room for a couple and dog for the week. Ample parking on the roadside. It was a great base for us, visiting Bath, Frome, Bradford on Avon, Stonehenge and a trip over to Cardiff. Plenty of walks nearby (you will need to climb the odd hill). Would recommend 100%.

  Very comfy beds. A fan for the small bedroom for hot weather would be welcomed. Great location near Bath and Bristol. Village itself is lovely too with great community shop and pub. Neighbours were nice and gave some good advice (Brislington park &ride for Bristol, night booking for Roman baths) We did need to move some ornaments to allow for storage (and put them back after). Fab walks all around. Definitely recommend

  It had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The busstop in front of the house is perfect as is the local grosery store around the corner. Bathford was a central point for the places we wanted to visit. The road in front of the house was busier than we expected, but comming from a farm ourselves we are not used to having traffic around the house

  The whole Avon valley is lovely with so much to explore on the doorstep. We had a very enjoyable week. One slight downside for some - the bathroom being on the ground floor requires a certain nimbleness if nature calls in the night - but, hey, it's a grade II listed cottage. Just something to consider if your knees are unpredictable. The owners have excelled themselves in providing a superb property.
