We had a brilliant stay, Great house in a perfect location, Really nice and friendly hosts.
We booked Pennys house for a family celebration, and we could not have found a better place. It was large enough for us all to have a lovely room each and cook and eat together, and yet it still warm and cosy. Penny and Richard were excellent with their communications and Richard couldn't do enough to make sure we were well looked after. The 20 minute walk through the woods and across the field to local pub was an absolute delight in the frosty mist. We enjoyed the use of the hot-tub, and the open log fire - making it a perfect wintery get-away with all the family..... And we'd love to come back in the summer too to make the most of the beautiful outdoors surroundings. Highly recommended :-)
Just back from a lovely weekend in Freshford. The house is beautiful and in such a lovely setting. Penny and Richard are fantastic hosts, incredibly friendly and quick to respond to any question/ request. We will definitely be back.
Our family stayed at the River House. We loved our time there. The house was spotless. Richard's cooking was delicious and Penny's apple pie and hedgerow jam were yummy. They were great hosts. We were very late arriving and Richard was there with home-made granola cookies to welcome us. The garden and the surrounding were luxuriant and relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub, but were too late in the season to use the swimming pool. We were sorry we didn't hear the owls. Hopefully next time.
This was a lovely place to stay with very friendly hosts. The pictures do not do it justice as the property is bigger and more charming than expected. The land around is beautiful. We were lucky enough to hear owls at night and see deer and a woodpecker in the garden. The host goes above and beyond in what they provide as the basics. The hot tub was brilliant with loads of extra towels provided. The swimming pool looks great, I am sad that I didn't get around to using it. I will be recommending this place to friends and family and would definitely book it again when I next visit the area. Thank you.
The nearby village of Freshford has an excellent pub, shop and cafe as well as a train station with regular services to Bath Spa (about 10 minutes hourly) and the historic town of Bradford on Avon, thence to London within 2 hours.
