A wonderful stay! We didn’t want our time to end in Bradford-on-Avon. The house had everything we needed for a perfectly lovely uncomfortable stay. The back garden was divine! And the extra little apartment room worked perfectly for our group. We cooked light meals, and we also dined at the Castle Inn, which I would definitely recommend. We enjoyed the town and honestly didn’t want to leave!

Short stay in BoA. Been to the town plenty of times before. This place was great for 4 adults and two little dogs. Fields for dogs not far away, town an easy walk down (not so easy up). Info pack very informative.

6/10 Okay

nice property, stairs very steep and not suitable for children

Lounge area is small for a family to get together in and getting into the bathroom is awkward and the children needed supervision parking on the road but there is a street behind which may be useful.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar, 2020
The property is a workers cottage so is full of character but doesn't have large living areas. Small children do indeed need supervision but we have had many families stay with children from infants through to teens and have loved it and given amazing feedback. I had a family from America with 3 kids stay for 2 months and love it. I think as long as people are aware it is a property from1750 and the stairs are steeper than normal people can decide if they are ok with it or not. We provide stair gates for added peace of mind.

Perfect short stay in Bradford

I wish we could have stayed longer! This house is all you need or want. Yes, it's of course narrow and tiny and just as the one bathroom like any older house, but it is so perfectly renovated and set up - it's a dream! The extra suite over the shed is awesome and very comfy. The walk into town is just 10min and my mum struggled a bit with the uphill on the way back, but it was a great distance that everyone in the party could just do their own thing at their own time. Everything was perfect.

Quirky cosy cottage

We are a family with 3 teens/adult children so enjoyed them having a room each to relax and have space. The single bathroom was a little tricky to manage and for access so not so suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The garden was lovely and the cottage well equipped for our Easter short break. We had a lovely walk in the countryside which was easy to navigate from the cottage. Thank you for the flowers in the cottage and all your thoughtful touches. Would definitely recommend

Great place to stay outside of Bath

I wanted my son and his friend to experience the UK in ways besides the big city of London. I thought that they'd get a kick out of staying at a cottage built in 1750, and this place was a huge hit! My son especially liked having the back studio to himself. The stairs were concerning because of how steep they were, and how there was a step down right by the bathroom. This is expected in a place from that period, and there was plenty of discussion in the comments, so we knew what we were getting into. Everything else about it certainly makes it a worthwhile place to stay. It has modern amenities and Theresa is easy to talk to and very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect stay

We had a highly enjoyable stay in this perfect cottage. It was nicely located for interesting and scenic hiking trails, walks into the centre of Bradford, and short drives to many fascinating places. Teresa was very helpful and went above and beyond as a host. The property is immaculate, highly comfortable and has a lot of historic charm. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Lovely little cottage for our weekend away

Great cottage with all the facilities we would need. Excellent communication with owner with lots of suggestions of places to eat and go. Only think I’ll mention is that there was 8 of us and only one toilet which was in the shower room which was tricky at times. Especially tricky if you are staying in the garden room and you need the loo in the night. Other than that it was absolutely perfect and a charming little cottage with great sized bedrooms :-)
