Fabulous cottage in a tranquil setting

The cottage was spacious and very comfortable. We had everything we needed for cooking as well as up to date laundry facilities. The beds were so comfortable and fresh. Outside was perfect with the hot tub put to good use and walks to the river.

Pre Half Marathon Relax

We had a few days as a family in the cottage in the build up to the Bath Half Marathon. A perfectly peaceful location in a cottage that was excellently presented and very spacious and comfortable for six adults

Fantastic place - so good I have stayed twice this year

Great weekend bolthole. Lovely surroundings, well kept and easy to get to some great places to walk and eat. Double Red Duke is highly recommended. The hot-tub is great, but takes a good few hours to heat up. Only reason cleanliness doesnt get 5 stars is it smelt of damp dog throughout and around the kitchen.

Great stay at Ivy Cottage

We stayed at Ivy Cottage for the weekend and had a great stay. The house was the perfect size and layout for a gathering. We enjoyed the hot tub and views! Each room had its own en-suite and the house manager was very responsive during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely weekend stay

We (4 of us and a Dog) spent the weekend in this lovely cottage, the kitchen is super well equipped so we were able to cook some lovely meals. The bedrooms are all a really good size and there's plenty of space to hang out in the lounge. We took a while getting the wood fired hot tub going and then it got too hot so we had to wait for it to cool down, but once the temperature was right it was dreamy! The garden is well contained for a medium sized dog, I was not worried about letting her out off the lead at all. All in all a lovely little cottage for a weekend getaway

Great stay

Lovely property, well maintained in a peaceful location perfect for our Christmas break, larger oven would have been ideal as not quite big enough for the turkey and we were just 4 people.

Beautiful cottage, super location

Perfect cottage for our break away with my elderly mother and our cocker spaniel. Comfortable, spacious and very well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. We loved the location with walks from the door and only a couple of miles from shops should you need anything. We loved our time at Ivy Cottage and will definitely be back!

A birthday weekend away with the family

I booked this location after a long search for a long weekend away to celebrate my wife's significant birthday. We were staying with our children and their partners, and due to the event I needed it to be special. We had been in the Cotswold's a number of times over the years and loved the area. To find this property available was ideal, it met our needs of 3 good sized bedrooms, a large kitchen and dining area along with a good size garden. Our arrival was made easy by the joining instructions being clear and easy to read, so we were not disappointed when we walked in. Nice touches such as some basics in the fridge were great along with the hot tub and BBQ. The hub with the games was a bonus and had us challenging each other whilst having fun. Getting around was easy, a nice walk to a local pub by the river along with a great restaurant less than 10 mins away, the Snooty Mehmaan are both worth the visit. Overall a great experience, great location and all had a great weekend

Visit to Ivy Cottage

Lovely comfortable cottage with an excellent hot tub. Quiet and relaxing but close enough to places to visit. It had everything we needed in the kitchen including staples ( eg oil & seasonings ) which was nice and there was a good selection of goodies left for us including milk for a cuppa! Very welcoming for the dog with a good enclosed garden and some nice walks down the river.
