My family and I have just had the pleasure and privilege of staying at Riverhouse, Freshford, Bath, for a week. We are a 3 generation family who traveled from different parts of USA to spend a week together for a family reunion, and to attend our niece’s wedding. My husband and I are both English, and I grew up on a farm near Bath, which is still in my family, however we’ve lived in America for many years.Riverhouse was perfect for our family of ten ranging in age from 7 to 78. The house is a beautiful, large, stone period home at the end of a long drive, in a private, peaceful, gorgeous country setting. The River Frome meanders through the valley at the bottom of the garden. The garden is large, and there are foot paths through lovely countryside which can easily be accessed and enjoyed. Cattle graze fields nearby, and hens freely range around the property. The house is attractively furnished and decorated, and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were warmly greeted by Richard, who was very attentive to our every need, and checked in with us frequently. On our arrival, to welcome us Richard gave us a delicious carrot cake he’d made, and fresh flowers from the garden had been placed in the house for us to enjoy. The large swimming pool was enjoyed immensely, so too were the lawn games. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week, and can highly recommend Riverhouse. Thank you Richard and Penny for your professionalism and hospitality.
