Myself and 3 friends recently visited Lucy's cottage as part of a girls weekend away. We found this cottage on Sykes Cottages and have go say it was beautiful! Fully as advertised, it was clean, comfortable, and has all a great range of available facilities. It was a short stones throw away from Bath and Cheddar Gorge and is situated in a beautiful rural village of Priston.Lucy was a really brilliant attentive host who made us feel very welcome too. If you're looking for a nice rural retreat with the open of walks, pubs and Bath nearby, it's definitely worth a visit! Thankyou for a wonderful stay!

“Cider press cottage is a lovely place to spend a holiday when sight seeing in Somerset.”

The decor and facilities are first class and the owner Lucy made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. The village is a good place to start many walks from and there are loads of local books and maps in the cottage. The village pub does excellent food, and to stock up there is a Sainsburys approx. four miles away. We would recommend this cottage to anyone.

“Such a cosy little place.”

Lucy Barnes was a delight and made us a superb lemon drizzle cake! The Cider Press was well equipped, clean and tidy and the beds were extremely comfortable. It was a lovely cosy place to stay. It’s extremely close to Bath and the park and ride was so close. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage.

“This was by far the best place we stayed at during our trip.”

Our hosts were delightful, considerate and welcoming. The property actually exceeded our expectations as did the village itself. Lucy greeted us sympathetically with freshly baked flapjacks (clearly her specialty) which was so very much appreciated after an unexpectedly long trip from London. We loved the donkeys braying, and the horses passing on their way into the village from the front door. We were drawn into Ring of Bells with their great food, beer, scrumpy and easy conversation. The people of the village are welcoming and patient even when explaining the intricacies of cricket which was a delight to watch behind the church (also worth a stop) on the pitch. We enjoyed many walks in the area, touring Bath, and seeing stone circles. It is an enchanting place.\ We pretty much loved everything, however it was the peace that descended onto the village which seemed to permeate through to our bones. \ The property is very comfortable and very well cared for. An absolutely outstanding property.\ Moira Schmidt, June 2016\

“We had a wonderful time in Priston!”

It was the perfect space for a relaxing and cozy Christmas vacation. We were able to make a full Christmas dinner in the kitchen, rest by the wood fire, and go on long walks right from the front door. We also made many day trips out from this central location, including the Cotswolds, Bath, and the Jurassic Coast. The cottage is adorable and located in a quiet village that is only a short drive from the city. Lucy and Simon were very friendly and welcomed us with a delicious homemade cake. We couldn't have had a more perfect stay

The property

Cider Press Cottage is an absolute gem of a holiday property and we're delighted to see it undergo a total revamp in early 2015, making it a stylish, spacious country retreat about 10 - 15 mins from the centre of Bath.

Built in the 18th century and situated in the grounds of the owners beautiful home, this classic little cottage is every inch the rural retreat.

The cottage is detached yet literally just moments from open countryside, with a lovely stroll down the lane to the village and it's local pub, The Ring O'Bells.

Each time we visit this cottage we love it even more, for so many different reasons, and the recent update has given it a real lift.

Internally the light colours along with the tasteful furniture give it a real contemporary feel, while all the old period features ensure the charm and character remain within this charming bolt hole.

The location of the property is absolutely ideal, a short drive into Bath city centre or a short walk deep into the countryside give this an appeal which sets it apart from so many cottages.

This is an absolute belter!
