Plenty of time for tennis

We loved our stay in this peaceful cottage, situated on a hill above Batheaston. The accommodation is excellent, with comfortable beds and sofas and well equipped kitchen. A beautifully situated tennis court is just a few feet from the Stables and we were able to use this every day. It is an enjoyable walk along the canal to Bath or a twenty minute bus ride into the city centre. We would love to return.

Dear Thomas, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're disappointed to hear you didn't find the property good value for money. It is often more expensive through third party channels. We look forward to seeing you book with us again soon. Kind regards, Bolthole Retreats

A nice quiet spot

Stayed here for a few days over half term, during the heat wave. A lovely secluded place, airy and open, with a lush garden space for reading and BBQs. Host popped in a couple of times and was very friendly. Within easy reach of Bath. Would stay again.

Lovely weekend in unusual property

This warm, cozy unusual property was the perfect place to stay in a family break including 5 month old baby (took a thick soft playmat for his comfort on travertine floors). The aga kept the whole house warm for us and we loved visiting The Gather Cafe in Batheaston as well as the walk into Bath along the canal. So much recent rain had made tennis court mossy and looking unsuitable for play, but the beautiful woodland surroundings, primroses on the grassy banks and so many birds (including early morning tawny owls) made up for lack of tennis! Wonderful weekend

A peaceful city break

For our international group of friends, The Stables provided a relaxed and flexible living space, just right for our time spent in the centre of Bath. Coming home to a garden full of bird-song amidst the trees and hills above Batheaston was a lovely way to end each day.

Excellent but needs more attention

Beautiful property , excellent location, very good customer care. It only needs some attention to maintenance (the upstairs bathroom was leaking and the hot water runs out a bit too quickly.

Great place to discover Bath and surrounds

What a beautiful cottage in tranquil surroundings. Our hosts visited to welcome us and we even had fresh flowers to add to our welcome the kitchen was extremely well equipped and utility room although we could not find the clothes aired to dry few items in the sun after long drive to get to the Stables we were so pleased to see tea and coffee there but it would have been great to have had a small carton of just UHT long life milk to instantly make a cup of tea. The shower tap upstairs was very stiff and our friends had difficulty operating it we loved having a bbq on a lovely summers evening . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

A charming stay for Christmas

We loved our time at the Stables. It was specious and well-appointed with an easy and quick drive into Bath. We loved trying the Aga and there was everything you could think of in the kitchen. We especially appreciated the Christmas touches. The only thing I can think of that would be helpful would be a better explanation of recycling. I wanted to do it correctly, but it's handled differently than in the U.S. Overall, our visit was perfect and iI'd recommend to anyone.

Lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Stables, it had everything we needed and couldn’t have asked for more. Matthew was a great host and made sure we were comfortable and was easy to contact if we needed anything. The location is great, peaceful and quiet, and only a short journey into Bath. We had a good couple of days exploring, going into Bath (we booked a taxi for the short journey which was really simple), we did the river boat tour, followed by Sunday lunch at the Bathwick Boatman, which was lovely and we managed to avoid the rain, it was a great day! We also visited Dyrham park the following day which was good too. The fish & chips takeaway from Robbie’s Plaice just down the road from the Stables was good and the breakfast in the Gather Cafe was also very nice. We definitely would recommend the Stables and wouldn’t hesitate to come back in the future.

A comfortable and relaxing break

Generally a good choice. But we were very concerned about returning to the Stables at night . Outside lights down the steps do not work and the large light on the chimney was intermittent . Quite dangerous. Never understood the guidance on how to deal with the rubbish - recycled items should go into the small summer house ? But it was impossible to open the door and there was no sign of a recycling bin. Upstairs felt cramped with the sloping ceilings. Good selection of crockery and cutlery. Plenty of cleaning materials. Nice and warm with plenty of hot water.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay at Stables, Batheaston. We truly appreciate your feedback and have passed it along to the owners. We understand that you reached out to them during your stay regarding the lights, which are sensor-operated and confirmed to be in full working order. They also mentioned that they provided a torch to assist you. Regarding the recycling bin, it's located in the summer house, and the owners would have been more than happy to help if you had needed any guidance. In terms of the upstairs space and ceiling heights, our website listing includes a 3D tour that allows you to explore the property, giving a clear sense of the layout and dimensions. We also mention in the 'Points of Note' that the upstairs bedrooms have sloping ceilings.

Quiet oasis

My family stayed here during our trip to Badminton Horse Trials. The location was an easy drive to the event. We enjoyed evening strolls thru the fields and woods surrounding the house - amazing views of the valley below. It is also close to pubs, grocery stores, the city of Bath....we had everything we needed! The Aga oven, which seems to be a proud focal point for this listing, wasn't working. The stairs from the driveway were mentioned but downplayed in the listing and were tough for my elderly mother.I probably wouldn't have chosen this house had I known the full picture regarding the stairs. The steep sided ceilings upstairs were tough for my 6'4" husband (actually all of us hit our heads multiple times, lol). But none of that deterred from a wonderful stay!

The Stables

We stayed in The Stables in June 2022 and were not disappointed with our return visit. The only quibble was lack of a dishcloth/cleaning cloth (worktops and oilcloth need wiping down) and heat from Aga because it was unseasonably warm. Left messages on both contact phones but no reply (from son of named contacts) until midday Tuesday. The very pleasant chap who mowed the lawn on Monday produced a J cloth. Upstairs bedrooms cooler once heaters turned off and the windows and doors left open. This isn't a complaint but just an observation.

The Stables and its owner were not nice

Things and furniture wear and tear. Very old chairs and in a very bad condition. The doucherail felt from the wall before we even could use it. The douche upstairs was also in a bad condition. The lights outside didn’t work so it was very dark because the house is in the wood on a hill with small roads so it was very frightfull. The toilet downstairs was not flushing and we must wait more than a day for the plumber. There are rats in the roof who makes a lot of noise and also frightfull. We found hairs in The douche and between the sheets. The fridges were old and rotten and constantly wet inside. The coffee machine was very dirty and pots and pans out of order and scratched. The owner was not nice. Entered the house when we have diner. No excuse and didn’t say I come back later. He only spike about his own vacation and demand 180,- pound for the old and worn out chair and the doucherail. We did say that the things were very old and still broken when we arrived. We also have mentioned it in the beginning. We have had 2 bad days and nights and couldn’t sleep the night before we have to drive back to Holland. Our vacation was a very bad experience and we demanded 200,- pound back.

Perfect stay

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our time near Bath. The house was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and had such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that it immediately felt like a home away from home. Every room was thoughtfully prepared, making our stay both comfortable and relaxing. The attention to detail was evident throughout the property, and everything we needed was provided. Our hosts were truly exceptional. They were friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Their hospitality made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived until the day we left. The location was also perfect for exploring Bath and the surrounding countryside while enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. We would happily stay here again and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a comfortable, charming, and well-maintained place with outstanding hosts. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!

Lovely

The Stables was exactly as described. Perfect place for our Christmas in the UK. The kitchen was well equipped, the rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, the living area was also terrific. And the walk to Batheaston had a nice local pub at the bottom. Who could ask for anything more. And Bath was a picturesque one hour or so walk away along the canal. Thank you Mathew & Leigh

Lovely property in a quiet location

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of 5 adults in August 2022. The property is tucked away in a quiet, rural location on the outskirts of Batheaston. Everything you need is there and it is an excellent base for exploring Bath and the Cheddar Gorge area. The only criticism is that the upstairs bedrooms get very warm, despite having velux windows. Apart from that, everything else about the property was very good.

Stables - Perfect

We stayed at the Stables to catch up with family in Bath. Beautiful accomodation and we were made very welcome by the hosts. It was very clean and well equipped and a fabulous location for visiting Bath and surrounding area. Also able go on walks straight from the house, which was a bonus. Would definitely stay there again.
