Rosemary
excellent that ironing board and iron, and hair dryer are in place here, often we have found these lacking, the lounge and bedroom are comfortable and well appointed. Surrounding the property are many countryside footpaths, that we used to access nearby villages and pubs. A very nice holiday cottage, we had a lovely stay.

Easy to get to Bath using public transport and exploring other areas. Cottage had everything you needed and Mary the host is lovely and friendly helping with anything you need.

Might be more comfortable if no bedpost at foot of the bed as easier to step over.
