We were very happy with everything that the house provided, there is a lovely private garden. It is very near a handy bus stop, which we used everyday. We were in the city centre within 20 mins. Sheila was very helpful and I would recommend this very comfortable house to friends.

Thank you Claire your comments are most appreciated, glad you enjoyed your stay. Most welcome to return.
A lovely big property with lots of space inside and out for dining and relaxing. Flexible bedroom accommodation made it an ideal base for attending graduation at Bath Abbey given we were not sure who would be able to join us when initially booking.A small issue with getting the oven working was quickly resolved.

Thank you Andrew. Your review much appreciated also being understanding guests and leaving all in such a clean and tidy condition . Do make a return visit.
An ideal place for a reunion of old school friends - walks from the property and an easy journey into Bath. A well equipped kitchen, space for sitting out if the weather is warm enough and comfortable bedrooms. A very friendly host, making communication for arrival and departure easy. We had a great weekend!

Wonderful property for a family reunion that was close to multiple bus stops which made it so easy to get in and out of Bath! Ideal for larger groups and off street parking was a bonus!

Thank you Hannah your comments much appreciated and glad that you had a nice stay.
We had a lovely weekend at Shelia's, the property is very homely and spacious, with lots of space upstairs for a group. It was nice to have such good sized bedrooms. We loved sitting on the balcony in the evening. The area is of Batheaston is beautiful, close enough to Bath but away from all the hustle of Bath centre. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely return.

Thank you Paula so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We are always trying to improve things and all comments bad or good are much appreciated. You are most welcome to return to Avondale again, Thank you for leaving everything clean and tidy.
This place is amazing. Everything from the welcome gifts, to the house itself was brilliant. My stay was the first week in August, the weather was good and we enjoyed the whole house, breakfasts and games nights at the huge table. Chatting around the patio table as we fired up the barbecue, watching dvds before bed. I hope to be back one day. I co fess to scrumping some plums from the plum tree.

A very comfortable but extremely well appointed and spacious holiday venue. Ideally placed for Bath, lovely meadow walks, and excellent eating venues within walking distance. Hosts very friendly and informative. Do not miss the opportunity to stay here.

Our welcome basket was nice, the house was spacious and beds comfortable. We spoke to our host and there was lots of information about the house.We didn't know how well used the road was or tight it was getting into the parking area. In the end, we parked on the road because it was easier.Recycling instructions were interesting, especially when it came defining a meat container. That could be worded a little better perhaps.Heating was an issue for the older guest and we know it was on but couldn't seem to increase the temperature. But, to be fair that was a personal preference issue.

Thanks for the review Jan and sorry you only thought we were worth 3 stars. Your comments regarding parking is that we always tell guests that they can park at that the rear of the building off a private drive if they dont like parking on the road, most guests do park in the courtyard
without too much trouble.
Not sure why the recycling information was a problem, it is written out on the two sheets provided.
Both heating systems were on specifically for these guests, the radiators may have been off in some of the bedrooms as a lot of people dont like hot bedrooms and we are always on hand of people get in touch.
A shame as these guests left everything in a nice clean and tidy condition. More contact would have been a good idea.
Perfect place for a family get together. We loved the garden and the spacious house. The hamper left on arrival was a really nice surprise. We had a great time.

Comfortable bedrooms and lounge, large secure garden with table, chairs and large parasol, our dog and a great time racing after a ball as well. Lots of lovely walks and bus stops nearby for the short ride into Bath to see the sights and visit the historical buildings

Thank you Marilyn glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your nice comments. Do come and see us again very soon.
First impressions from our group was: "Oh wow this is beautiful and so spacious!" We all agreed it really is a wonderful place to stay, with a home from home feel! The Garden is just as lovely with plenty of seating area and a lovely sun trap too! The welcome hamper was very thoughtful and much appreciated by all! If ever we were to come to Bath again, we wouldn't hesitate to book avondale! We loved it there and felt sad when we left. Thank you Sheila for everything! Thank you Sheila for opening yourus all.

Thank you Maria, so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay and happy to invite you to make a return visit.
Thank you for being good guests much appreciated.
Interesting! We extended the check out time during Covid when we had to have a more rigorous cleaning regime. Similar properties are asking guests to leave by 9.00 am. Even then guests dont always leave on time and I have staff booked in to clean - it takes a good 3 -4 hours to get things to the standard I like to keep to! Incoming guests are repeatedly asking to come in early, Its a tricky balancing act and I do try to be flexible.
Rather sad that this was all that this guest had to say about their stay.
A beautiful, relaxing location for scenic walks and easy bus trips into Bath
Sheila and her husband work really hard to ensure their guests are well looked after. They have poured a lot of love into this beautiful accommodation. Large dining area and a very comfy lounge. Fun family evenings spent playing cards, walking and in the hot tub! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!
