Enjoy the best of both worlds with a stay at Stables, Batheaston. With sweeping views across the Avon Valley, you can escape to the country while being just 5 miles from the centre of Bath. This unique house has beautiful arched windows set in Cotswold stone, an internal Juliet balcony and a roaring woodburner. The open plan living room is the heart of the home and each space is filled with character and comfort. Open the French doors to your private garden for long, lazy afternoons with a BBQ and games and make use of the tennis court to burn off the burgers afterwards. The Stables is the perfect place for an adventure. Visit historic Bath which will look familiar from scenes in Bridgerton, safari at Longleat, stroll the National Trust’s country house and gardens at Lacock and explore the charming villages of Corsham and Castle Combe.

For our international group of friends, The Stables provided a relaxed and flexible living space, just right for our time spent in the centre of Bath. Coming home to a garden full of bird-song amidst the trees and hills above Batheaston was a lovely way to end each day.

What a beautiful cottage in tranquil surroundings. Our hosts visited to welcome us and we even had fresh flowers to add to our welcome the kitchen was extremely well equipped and utility room although we could not find the clothes aired to dry few items in the sun after long drive to get to the Stables we were so pleased to see tea and coffee there but it would have been great to have had a small carton of just UHT long life milk to instantly make a cup of tea. The shower tap upstairs was very stiff and our friends had difficulty operating it we loved having a bbq on a lovely summers evening . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Generally a good choice.
But we were very concerned about returning to the Stables at night . Outside lights down the steps do not work and the large light on the chimney was intermittent . Quite dangerous.
Never understood the guidance on how to deal with the rubbish - recycled items should go into the small summer house ? But it was impossible to open the door and there was no sign of a recycling bin.
Upstairs felt cramped with the sloping ceilings.
Good selection of crockery and cutlery.
Plenty of cleaning materials.
Nice and warm with plenty of hot water.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay at Stables, Batheaston. We truly appreciate your feedback and have passed it along to the owners. We understand that you reached out to them during your stay regarding the lights, which are sensor-operated and confirmed to be in full working order. They also mentioned that they provided a torch to assist you. Regarding the recycling bin, it's located in the summer house, and the owners would have been more than happy to help if you had needed any guidance. In terms of the upstairs space and ceiling heights, our website listing includes a 3D tour that allows you to explore the property, giving a clear sense of the layout and dimensions. We also mention in the 'Points of Note' that the upstairs bedrooms have sloping ceilings.

Lovely property, would stay again

Beautiful property , excellent location, very good customer care.
It only needs some attention to maintenance (the upstairs bathroom was leaking and the hot water runs out a bit too quickly.

We loved our time at the Stables. It was specious and well-appointed with an easy and quick drive into Bath. We loved trying the Aga and there was everything you could think of in the kitchen. We especially appreciated the Christmas touches.

The only thing I can think of that would be helpful would be a better explanation of recycling. I wanted to do it correctly, but it's handled differently than in the U.S.

Overall, our visit was perfect and iI'd recommend to anyone.

We stayed in The Stables in June 2022 and were not disappointed with our return visit. The only quibble was lack of a dishcloth/cleaning cloth (worktops and oilcloth need wiping down) and heat from Aga because it was unseasonably warm. Left messages on both contact phones but no reply (from son of named contacts) until midday Tuesday. The very pleasant chap who mowed the lawn on Monday produced a J cloth. Upstairs bedrooms cooler once heaters turned off and the windows and doors left open.
This isn't a complaint but just an observation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Stables, it had everything we needed and couldn’t have asked for more. Matthew was a great host and made sure we were comfortable and was easy to contact if we needed anything. The location is great, peaceful and quiet, and only a short journey into Bath. We had a good couple of days exploring, going into Bath (we booked a taxi for the short journey which was really simple), we did the river boat tour, followed by Sunday lunch at the Bathwick Boatman, which was lovely and we managed to avoid the rain, it was a great day! We also visited Dyrham park the following day which was good too. The fish & chips takeaway from Robbie’s Plaice just down the road from the Stables was good and the breakfast in the Gather Cafe was also very nice. We definitely would recommend the Stables and wouldn’t hesitate to come back in the future.

We absolutely loved this cottage! We were working over the weekend locally so needed a base and were only sad not to have been able to enjoy this gorgeous home from home for longer! The cottage had everything you'd need and there was so much space. The location was beautiful and the owners were always there to help with anything you needed. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of 5 adults in August 2022. The property is tucked away in a quiet, rural location on the outskirts of Batheaston. Everything you need is there and it is an excellent base for exploring Bath and the Cheddar Gorge area. The only criticism is that the upstairs bedrooms get very warm, despite having velux windows. Apart from that, everything else about the property was very good.

We stayed at the Stables to catch up with family in Bath. Beautiful accomodation and we were made very welcome by the hosts.
It was very clean and well equipped and a fabulous location for visiting Bath and surrounding area. Also able go on walks straight from the house, which was a bonus. Would definitely stay there again.
