About the home

The Old Stable is located just three minutes' walk from a tiny railway station, on the edge of the delightful old Cotswold village of Freshford. Quiet and peaceful, this village of stone cottages and grand houses is only ten minutes by rail from the exciting World Heritage city of Bath. There is excellent access to a village shop, and to the local pub/restaurant which serves very good food.

The house has its own dedicated parking right outside the door. The accommodation consists of two large reception rooms - one with a glass wall into the pleasant stone-walled yard - two double bedrooms, one large single bedroom and a kitchen and bathroom. It is ideal for families or groups, with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay, and special features such as country walks with two rivers and a canal to enjoy.

The West Country / Somerset region

This extraordinarily beautiful region of wooded hills and river meadows has a long history. The mighty footprints of the Romans were subsequently trodden by Saxon yeomen, and eventually the region became important during the Industrial Revolution and afterwards for the weaving of woollen fabrics. Many traces of these activities remain in the architecture of the countryside.

The Bath / Freshford area

The local town of Bradford-on-Avon (45 minutes walk along the canal tow-path, or a short train ride) offers a snapshot of a stone-built mill town, with lovely architecture and many tourist attractions from a 14th century tithe barn to a Saxon church. The city of Bath has a really huge number of restaurants, museums, activities and shops as well as many festivals and an astonishing wealth of history, all packed into this small quintessentially Georgian World Heritage city. You couldn't find a nicer or more interesting place to spend quality holiday time.

“Great accommodation for a young family” We very much enjoyed our stay at The Old Stables in Freshford. As soon as we walked in it felt like a home away from home, very comfortable. The house was very well fitted out for a rental with plenty of kitchen equipment to be able to cook for a young family (2 year old and 7 month old). The location worked very well for us as we were spening a lot of time in Bath but didn't want to stay there, this was a nice alternative. We would recommend this rental and will stay there again when next in the UK Response: More and more people are opting for staying in the country yet being able to visit Bath. The tiny train service from the bottom of the road make this easy.

“Nice cottage in lovely village” We really enjoyed our stay in The Old Stables. The cottage was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. It was well equipped and it had spacious and clean rooms. The neighbourhood was quiet and beautiful. Great location with lots of sights within short distance. Response: Thanks for the review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. You are right, lots of sights within a short distance. The little local train means you can leave the car and be delivered to Bath City Centre with a few minutes, saving all the hassle over parking.

“Great location & neighbours” We spent nearly 1 month in the Old Stables & found the place very well equipped, comfortable & well priced. The location is excellent for getting to/from Bath by the train (end of road) & the village / neighbours are all very nice. Works well for a family with small children even though there is no garden as there is a quiet courtyard in front & the village has a lovely playground next to the very well stocked shop. Response: Thank you for your insightful review. It's worth point out that the train station is reminiscent of village train stations from the Victorian age. There are just a few small local trains a day, many of them steam in the summer.

“Lovely village location” We were very glad of our GPS to find the Old Stables (though Paul's instructions were good!) The property is quite some way outside of Bath - very much a country village feel.

“A very nice cottage in a calm and lovely village” Eine sehr komfortable, saubere und gut ausgestattete Ferienwohnung. Geschmackvoll (neuwertig) eingerichtet. Gelegen in einem ruhigen Dorf und deshalb perfekt für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Auch Wandern, Rudern oder Fahrradfahren ist vor Ort möglich. Die nächste Stadt (Bath) mit guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und sehenswerten historischen Gebäuden ist nur wenige Meilen entfernt und auch per Bahn bequem erreichbar. Response: Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte. Ich bin so froh, Sie genießen Ihren Aufenthalt. Was Sie gesagt haben sollte sehr hilfreich für andere Besucher. Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns wieder. ps. Bitte nicht denken, ich spreche Deutsch.
