Perfect

Lovely stay. 10 mins from bath on the train. Beautiful neighbourhood, I would highly recommend the food at the inn - it is huge and delicious. House was super clean and spacious. Owners gave great recommendations for walks/ things to do and were super responsive. Thank you so much!

Short family break

A wonderful place to stay, beautifully clean and well presented and really convenient for Bath by car or train. Freshford itself is really lovely too and we enjoyed the walk to the pub and the village café. Super helpful hosts and we really appreciated the bacon, eggs and bread left for a delicious breakfast. Loved it, thanks so much 👍

Wonderful Cotswold experience

We loved our stay in Freshford. The home was spacious, clean and updated. The bathrooms were well kept and seemed to be recently renovated. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Our hosts were great with recommendations for the area and even left us breakfast provisions. Loved having a washer and dryer available in the home to use. Kitchen is small but more than enough for a vacation stay. Convenient to Bath and a great restaurant just a walk down the hill. I would highly recommend this home and Robin and Wendy as hosts.

Fabulous accommodations!

The host was very kind in leaving a few basics for our first breakfast there. The place was very spacious and worked well for two couples. it was a very pleasant stay indeed.
