"The Coach House was so comfortable with everything we could want to hand, that we instantly felt at home."
The owner was so personable and helpful, it was a joy. Minor niggle was the sluggish internet speed.

Clean with all the home comforts you require. Will definitely stay again. Thank you!

"Everything we wished for in facillities within kitchen as to utensils and equipment are at this property; the bathroom is spacious and well equiped."
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.

"Very comfortable accommodation but I found exiting the bed a problem."
Might be more comfortable if no bedpost at foot of the bed as easier to step over.

"Thank you so much Mary, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Coach House."
Mary is a truly wonderful, thoughtful host, and has taken great care to ensure the accommodation is extremely welcoming - simply perfect! We appreciate your thoughtfulness in providing everything to make us feel at home enabling us to cook, eat, sleep, shower, relax, access leisure activities and local cuisine. We enjoyed our stay as The Coach House is perfectly placed with easy access to numerous activities, places of interest, local restaurants both near and far travelling on foot, bicycle, public transport, taxi or car. We highly recommend visiting the many local restaurants especially The Swan which offers great (Gluten Free) food within a short walking distance We loved it so much we are sad to say goodbye!

"My wife and I are in our mid to late 60s."
We found it hard work getting into and out of bed due to the lack of room between the wall/banister rails-and the bed, at most there was 8ins between the two. And as for getting out of bed to use the loo without waking each other impossible. The floor was So Noisy to walk on. There is a large box section beside the toilet there was no padding or warning to how low it was until I hit my head. I’m only 5’10” and I couldn’t stand under the shower because it was to low. The only thing we found comfortable was to two setter sofa. I feel some TLC spent on this place is much needed before it’s to late.

"Great cottage with lovely owners and the location is ideal for travelling into Bristol and Bath."
Nearby access at Bitton railway station for the Bristol and Bath Railway Path for cycling, walkers. Easy drives to Bradford on Avon, Frome, Wells, Longleat and Cheddar Gorge. Highly recommend.
-
"The property is lovely and really well located - access to both Bath and Bristol by public transport is really easy."
The pub and shop are just around the corner from the property. We had a great stay at the Coach House - the owner was very welcoming and the property has everything in it that you need and is really comfortable. We would definitely return.
-
"Conveniently situated between Bath and Bristol, lovely countryside and great cycle /walking path nearby."

-
"A lovely cottage in a great location."
Mary the owner welcomed us on arrival. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped for self catering. The cottage is perfectly located for local cycle routes. It is also only a short walk to a local shop for any essentials you might need. The bus stop for buses into Bath or Bristol is also just around the corner. Overall a great week in a lovely area.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"My husband and I stayed at this lovely cottage in Bitton in March for a well needed break."
Looked ideal on the site and didn’t disappoint us when we arrived. Had a little trouble finding it at first as it’s a sharp turn into the property and because the navigator was rubbish,(me)! Lovely cottage with private enclosed parking right outside the cottage. We were greeted by Mary who is absolutely lovely couldn’t do enough for us and very chatty. We had everything we needed and the Prosecco was a nice touch as was milk and stuff for beverages. Really no need as there’s a premiere just a few minutes walking distance if you need anything desperately. Lovely and cosy with central heating. The bedroom is a little tight for large people, which we’re not but otherwise comfortable. Quirky creaking floorboards up there which is well funny when you get up during the night trying not to wake your partner but you’d definitely hear unwelcome intruders. Not a problem if you’re hard of hearing lol
Thank you for your comprehensive feedback, i was so glad you had alovely time Property Owner

"A little disappointed with the bedroom but the holiday apart from that was good"

"Nice little cottage, very conveniently situated between Bath and Bristol."
It was well equipped and clean. The only issue we had was with the tight squeeze getting into bed.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Coach house."
It was very spacious and warm despite being a very cold weekend. It was also very well equipped and the bed very comfortable. The host was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend the Coach house for a relaxing holiday and a great base for exploring Bath, Bristol and the lovely surrounding countryside.
-
"The hosts were amazing and really looked after us, we greatly appreciate it!"
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House."
Convenient for visiting Bath, Bristol and the surrounding countryside. The accommodation was cosy,comfortable and clean. The Owners were very welcoming. Would recommend this place.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at the Coach House."
The owner was so hospitable and welcoming. Pubs and places to eat are close by. There are many walks from the doorstep. We walked to Keynsham on several occasions and along the river. One of the highlights was cycling along the old railway line to Bristol. So much to see and do when we got there. Bath was beautiful and we went to the Thermae Spa which was bliss. We will stay here again as there is still so much to explore.
-
"Cottage is ideally situated for exploring the area but you do need a car."
The food at the Crown pub is good and plenty of tables in the lovely bear garden.
-
"Lovely cottage - weather was outrageously hot but we were well looked after with a fan inside and a parasol outside!"
-
"Excellent base for the Bath and Bristol area"
-
"The owners are helpful friendly and accommodating and the position is perfect for Bath and Bristol."
The bathroom did prove a major problem as there are height restrictions which weren’t previously mentioned. The shower sits over the bath and under a bulk head. For someone 6’5” it was difficult to shower as it’s not possible to stand under it. Anyone be possibly over 6’ could have difficulty. The only option is to sit in the bath and use the shower as a hand held if you want a shower rather than a bath. There’s also no natural ventilation as the window is far too high to open. The bedroom is exactly as it shows a very tight squeeze as the bed sits very snugly into an alcove. Again for anyone tall it can be a problem. It does need mentioning in the property description that there are some height restrictions.
-
"We had a lovely stay at The Coach House and would definitely recommend."
The cottage had everything we needed and Mary had thought of everything and was very helpful with regards places to go and lovely walks.
-
"The cottage is very comfortable and like a home from home."
It has all the facilities you need, very spacious and beautifully decorated. It is in a good location for visiting the cities of Bristol and Bath, and the spiritual quirky town of Glastonbury. It's very close to some beautiful walks in the countryside without having to drive there. The owner is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed my week's stay here and was disappointed that I hadn't booked in for longer. I would definitely book this place again. A wonderful holiday!
-
"Beautiful cottage situated in Bitton close by Bath and Bristol."
It is well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. Thankyou to Mary the owner who was extremely pleasant and helpful.......and for the chilled bottle of Presecco!
-
"We have used this cottage frequently and we highly reccomend it."
It is very comfortable, in a good position for Bristol, Bath and the countryside. The owner is very helpful.
-
"Excellent location."
Hosts were very kind and helpful. Had a lovely time. The cottage was well equipped. Would definitely stay again!
-
"The Coach house is a beautiful quite,clean spacious cottage in a very good location and the owner Mary was very pleasant and helpful."
We received a lovely welcome gesture of food and the bottle of rose wine was really nice and cold and went down very well with the comfort of relaxing after our journey. Great for a short walk around the village or a long walk out the country with foot path areas nearly all the way. Good for cycling too and it’s a nice 30 min ride into Bath following a quiet, fairly flat cycle route. Bristol city centre is not far either for shopping and I recommend eating out at La Famiglia which is a Top class and fairly priced Italian restaurant. There’s Cheddar gorge, Wookey hole and The Severn bridge within 30 mins or so if you fancy a drive then a walk about in the daytime but it’s lovely to get back to the cottage and chill out and the rooms warm up quickly and the shower is powerful and the bath nice and relaxing. The bedroom is upstairs and on it’s own and the full moon shone through a couple of nights which was nice ( there are dark blinds too if you prefer) and it’s so quiet waking up there too. We will definitely return there when we can again. I would also like to thank Mary again for posting on my trainers I left behind and for being kind and generous while we were there.
-
"Brilliant holiday, just what was needed in this current climate."
Host was fantastic and polite, the Coach House is clean, welcoming and cosy. Bitton itself offers a lovely base for exploring the area, with buses to both Bath and Bristol.
-
"This is a lovely little place which is very comfortable and has everything needed for a relaxing break."
It is ideally located to explore Somerset, Wiltshire, Bristol and Bath. A big thank you to Mary for letting us stay in her lovely cottage.
-
"Great hosts, good location and facilities."
-
"Excellent host, great area for walking, central."
Bath and Bristol close ....If open ! Good friendly place to stay.
-
"Comfy cottage."
Great location between Bristol and Bath. Lots to see and do in the area. Would definitely look to make a return trip.
-
"We really enjoyed staying here right from the beginning."
We were massively delayed in arriving due to horrendous traffic but the owner was so laid back and caring about the whole matter that it made things much easier for us. The cottage was a delight to stay in and we wouldn't hesitate to return. We left yesterday and I'm ready to go back now. Details like Prosecco and milk in the fridge, every mod con you can think of, more than ample towels, bedding, shampoo and other toiletries that we could have used if we'd chosen to, not to mention how clean everything was. Fabulous. The nearest convenience store was 5 mins walk away. Bath was easy to get to and we could have even hopped on the bus if we'd wanted to. Parking was expensive in Bath, like in all cities, and if it had been warmer, we would have caught the bus in. I left something behind (doh!) and the owner phoned me to say that she is posting it on to me. First class in all respects; this suited us very well.

"Excellent accomodation, ideal for visiting Bath, Bristol and surrounding countryside"
-
"Lovely little cottage in an ideal location for Bristol, Bath and surrounding areas."
the owners had thought of everything and a lovely touch was a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge for us. very comfortable and relaxing. we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will definitely return!
-
"Really good owner very helpful, great introduction to English hospitality."
-
"A quaint and cosy cottage which is very comfortable, and within easy reach by bus of Bath and Bristol."
We decided to stay longer than we intended as there is so much of interest to explore in the area. A very enjoyable holiday.
-
"The Coach House is a very clean and cosy cottage."
It had everything we needed for a lovely stay, and is perfect for two people. Its location is very good for getting to Bath and Bristol and there is a very good bus service to both. Bitton has a well stocked shop and a pub , although the pub doesn't serve food. Thankyou to the owner , Mrs. Younie , for your friendly welcome and for the attention to detail which makes The Coach House such a good holiday destination.
-
"Wonderful location and idyllic cottage that completed our holiday."
Very kind owner and extremely helpful.
-
"We enjoyed our stay at this lovely, cozy cottage very much."
Although located close to the main road of Bitton, it is very quiet. The double bed is comfy and the bedroom offers a huge wardrobe. The kitchen is well equipped with an induction cooking area, microwave, fridge, freezer and washing machine. The large living room gives you a homey feeling and the bathroom has a shower over the bath. We're looking forward coming back soon. Thanks again, dear Mary, for looking after us upon arrival!
-
"The location of the cottage was excellent and Mrs Younie was very accommodating."
The challenge for us was the bedroom, being upstairs and so far from the bathroom was an issue. Also the bedroom was very tight and difficult to manouvere around to get downstairs in the middle of the night. I would have appreciated the bed actually being in the lounge. It’s a very quaint cottage and I would consider staying there again, but only if the bedroom was downstairs.
-
"Lovely accommodation in a lovely part of the country."
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very pleasant owner.
-
"A very comfortable place to stay and an ideal location to be based for exploring both Bath and Bristol."
Plenty of good walks without having to take the Car - and very close to the Bristol/Bath Cycle path with the many routes leading off of it. The Cottage was very well equipped and situated in a very quiet environment.
-
"We loved staying at this cottage."
It was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a really enjoyable holiday. Some reviews have said they found the mattress hard ... We were the opposite and found it very comfortable , we slept very well ... I guess the comfort of a mattress is personal taste. The cottage is located in between Bath & Bristol. There is a bus stop a 2 minute walk from the cottage. The White Hart pub is just round the corner , this tho doesn't serve food. We chose to eat at The Swan at Swineford , a 15 minute walk away , and the food there is amazing. Mary , the owner , is lovely. Is very helpful , but also allows you to enjoy your holiday. We would definitely stay again at The Coach House.
-
"The owner was very friendly, the cottage was well situated for both Bath and Bristol as well as places of interest."
-
"Lovely cottage one small problem was a bit difficult to get into the bed very narrow down each side"
-
"We were very happy with the cottage."
The owner Mary , was extremely helpful. She gave us good advise about bus routes to Bath, and other areas . When we were having lunch on the patio she came over with fresh raspberries from her garden.We had a wonderful time at The Coach House and highly recommend it.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed this cottage ."
Everything was excellent and very comfortable including the bed. The location was perfect and the local buses to Bristol and bath were frequent and very convenient. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone considering booking it.
-
"Very well equiped cottage."
Very clean and everything was in it. A special thank you for the warm friendly welcome of the owner. Location is perfect for trips to Bristol and Bath, either by bike or by bus. There is a private safe parking place for the car.
-
"I had a wonderful time staying at the Coach House!"
The welcome on arrival was outstanding and the cottage was beautiful! There was such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere where the cottage is located! Good links to Bath and Bristol! I would highly recommend others to stay here!
-
"Perfectly located between Bristol and Bath, with easy access to public transport networks."
It was great for walking and visiting both the cities of Bath and Bristol. The cottage was well appointed and cozy which was especially appreciated due to the Snow in mid march!
-
"We had an enjoyable week at The Coach House it's in a nice area, went by bus to Bath and Bristol."
It's near the cycle path and steam railway and there are lovely walks from the property. The Coach House is a lot bigger than in the pictures very comfortable and warm and everything you need to make your stay enjoyable.
-
"The Cottage was warm,clean & comfortable and exceeded all expectations."
It was well equipped if you wanted to self cater. I was very appreciative of arriving to find milk, tea and coffee and loved the Prosecco chilling in the fridge. I would highly recommend this cottage.
-
"The Coach House was absolutely lovely and, though compact, met our needs perfectly during our long stay of a month."
The location was excellent and the owner extremely accommodating and friendly. Our stay overall was excellent, very cosy and really like having a home from home which, after all, was exactly what we wanted.
-
"I enjoyed my stay at the Coach House and found the location excellent for touring the area."
The seated area outside the cottage looked onto to parked cars which was a disappointment. The accommodation was good and spacious.
-
"I found the experience with Sykes an easier process that other sites I have used in the past and also better value for money."
I will only be using Sykes from now on.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great central location for visiting Bath, Bristol and other local places of interest."
close to the Avon Steam Railway and would recommend a visit there or a walk/ cycle along the paths towards Bath or Bristol. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and was very spacious for 2 people. Everything is to a very high standard and you receive a warm welcome. I highly recommend this property.
-
"Comfortable well equipment holiday let in a great location for exploring Bristol/Bath area."
The main downside for us was that The Coach House is on the driveway of the owners house which is only about 10 feet away so it isn't very private. This isn't mentioned in the description and doesn't show on the pictures and I think it should be. If I had known this when looking at the accommodation i would've looked for property that had more privacy. Also, as in previous reviews the mattress is so hard it is impossible to get a comfortable nights sleep.
-
"All of it. A warm welcome, beautiful cottage, better than the photo's on the site."
The bedroom was a little bit to small for the bed, that was a problem by going in or out the bed. In the kitchen i was missing some spoons to do the food on the plates. We will recommended with our friends.
-
"The location of the property, equally between Bath and Bristol, made it perfect for a two centre holiday."
-
"The only down side was the mattress being too hard."
-
"Perfect for our needs, using the local bus to see both Bath and Bristol worked very well."
Thrilled to see the SS Gt Britain iron ship in Bristol Docks as well as the very interesting museum M Shed nearby. One icy, sunny morning we walked the 7 miles into Bath along the very convenient cycle trail which was lovely. A lovely winter break.
-
"The accommodation was just as advertised-but more than!"
It really was comfortable, warm and homely. We felt completely at home. Such a relaxing holiday, and Mary is a very nice host. Everything is clean and well furnished. The bed is comfortable and the bedding and towels good quality and spotless. For a one bed it is very spacious. The weather was particularly bad- windy, cold and rainy, but we were extremely cosy. We definitely recommend this as an excellent base for exploring Bath, Bristol and surrounding areas.
-
"So handy for Bath and Bristol with a nearby vintage railway."
Hosts very helpful.
-
"This was the perfect getaway for a relaxing break."
The property is well equipped and very comfortable and the owner is a lovely lady who is keen to ensure that her guests are happy. There was an issue with a blocked drain when we arrived and it was sorted out immediately. It is set in a quiet village within easy reach of many places to visit. We walked to both Bath and Bristol along the cycle/pedestrian path and also visited Weston Super Mare and Chepstow. The weather was gorgeous which was an added bonus. Whilst we like to cater for ourselves, we did have two meals out. One at the Swan in the next village (only 10 minutes walk) and the other at the Brassmills. Both are highly recommended. With a Tesco superstore in nearby Keynsham and a local shop, we had everything we needed. We were very sad to leave!
-
"Really nice, comfortable cottage."
Ideal for a week working in east Bristol. Lovely countryside for walking nearby, down along the River Avon. Owner very welcoming and helpful! thanks! Will definitely return next time I am working down near Bristol.
-
"Lovely cottage, only two minor things, I would have liked a dressing table with mirror as the light was very good for makeup etc second parking was a bit of a squeeze."
The owner Mary very helpful We had a lovely stay and used the local bus to see Bath and Bristol as the bus stop very near. x
