Overall fabulous.
Super clean, great location, charming as it comes, Very nice owners. If we had one slightly negative comment I would say the kitchen is really only suitable for light meals and breakfast as its fairly small but as we typically eat out on vacation, or have cheese, bread & wine when staying in, it was not an issue. On that note, you MUST try the local pub for meals and friendly staff, and the local shop has about everything you will need. Close to may great attractions. Try renting a canal barge for a day. we did and had a fantastic time! Fabulous job Penny and many thanks! The Culpan family.

Perfect and Beautiful
We just spent a week in Coachmans Cottage which is a perfect cottage in the beautiful village of Steeple Ashton. Penny and Peter are warm and wonderful hosts. The cottage felt like home right away. It is beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable, and wonderfully functional. The local pub, The Longs Arms, is a short stroll from the cottage and was a great place for catching dinner when we were too tired to cook. We found Coachmans Cottage to be a great central point to visit Wells Cathedral, Bath, Glastonbury, and my favorite, Great Chalfield Manor. We highly recommend Coachmans Cottage - thank you Penny for everything!

A relaxing visit
We had a really lovely 9 days at Coachmans Cottage and both agreed it was a fantastic place to stay. Penny had set out a welcome tea tray with homemade brownies and there was also a hospitality hamper on arrival. We were met with a small tour of the house and we felt all our needs were catered for. The house was immaculate and yet it felt a real home from home. Our visits included: The Bath Pump room restaurant to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary, Wells Cathedral for the one wet day and Stourhead Gardens. The local pub The Longs Arms was a very friendly venue for a good evening meal and we were fed well. Also on several nights in the cottage we lit the wood fire which made it very cosy. We both felt we would struggle to find fault with this accommodation and agreed we had had a perfect getaway. Thank you so much to Penny & Peter.

Tranquillity in Steeple Ashton
We first discovered Coachman's Cottage 3 years ago and after such an idyllic stay in a peaceful location central to everything we wanted to see in the West Country we decided to go back. They say that you cannot go back without disappointment but we found that Penny and Peter had the cottage even more comfortable. It confirmed our view that you are not just renting a luxury cottage, but joining a friendly, tight knit community. Penny and Peter were perfect hosts giving us travel tips and a comprehensive list of local pubs to savour the local fare. In short we could not recommend Coachman's Cottage more highly and will provide details to any Australian friends wanting to see the West Country.

About the host

Hosted by Penny

Host profile image
We have been welcoming guests to Coachmans Cottage since 2006, so after 18 years we hope we know what will make you love your stay and want to return... very many do return.
We live next door and so are on site to manage the cottage.
Our sister business is The Antiques Source, with over 50 years experience there. Hence the cottage is furnished with antiques and some pieces might be available for sale when guests are resident.
We are, and always have been, owned by our beloved Golden Retrievers.

Why they chose this property

We first stumbled on Steeple Ashton over 45 years ago when we had to move to the area to be close to, and on hand for, elderly family.
The village is so amazing that I hope we will never have to move away.
With a number of very good local market towns for everything the village can't provide.

What makes this property unique

Coachmans oozes Country House Style wrapped in a Cottage skin.
Light and bright but at the same time spacious, comfortable and cosy.
It has a very welcoming atmosphere.........I would very happily live here.
