Wonderful property

Tim was the perfect host and went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed. The property is clean, comfortable and very well appointed (the bed is super comfortable), in a great location, less than 20 minutes to Bath and close to Lacock. Would stay here again.

Gorgeous stay!

I stayed at the coach house as I was at a wedding nearby - I only wish I could have stayed longer! The bed was divine, the rooms comfortable and with a private garden. Tim was a fantastic host and on hand to help me with any q's. Many thanks!

Super accommodation

We had an extremely comfortable stay in Whitley Coach House in January this year. Very well furnished and equipped with everything needed. The wonderfully comfortable double bed was a joy, a struggle to get out of sometimes! The garden is lovely; a pity not always warm enough to take advantage of it but would be great in the summer. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming. They provided invaluable help and advice on what to do and where to eat. Whitley is fortunate in having several notable restaurants within easy reach plus all the attractions of the area. We cannot rate Whitley Coach House too highly and we certainly aim to return again. We have the happiest memories.

Another Fabulous Stay

My husband and I have stayed at this property several times, which says it all. We love staying here for many reasons. It is very clean and extremely comfortable. It is set back from the road and therefore very quiet, even though you don't have to trundle down small country lanes to get there. It is very well situated with easy access to many wonderful locations including Lacock, Bradford on Avon, Corsham, Castle Combe, Dyrham Park, other National Trust properties and the Avon and Kennett Canal, to name a few. And the hospitality of our hosts, Tim and Ginny, is second to none. They are extremely kind and friendly and will provide you with any assistance you may need whilst respecting your privacy. We highly recommend this property.

Super accommodation, welcoming hosts

We had an extremely comfortable stay at Whitley Coach House in January following a previous stay last autumn Very well furnished with everything needed. The wonderful double bed was a joy, and a struggle to get out of it sometimes! The garden is lovely; a pity it was not warm enough to take much advantage! Our hosts could not have been more welcoming. They provided invaluable help and advice on what to do and where to eat. Whitley is fortunate in having several notable restaurants within very easy reach. We cannot rate Whitley Coach House too highly and we certainly aim to return again.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Wood

Whitley Coach House, was the coach house to a wonderful house built in 1808 of Bath stone. It was listed for rental for the first time in November 2013 and we hope that all guests have a fantastic stay.

Why they chose this property

All the beds are very comfortable, especially the handmade kingsize Lit Bateau bed in the bedroom with a supremely comfortable Vi-Spring mattress, with thousands of pocketed springs.

Although in a historic environment the coach house was built in 1808, you will enjoy a modern, clean and bright environment.

The property has its own private garden with wooden decking and high-quality teak garden furniture for use in the summer. It is set well back from Corsham Road and backs onto an open field with a Cricket pitch during the summer and Whitley golf course behind that, great if you love golf.

Bath is only 20 minutes away with its amazing history, culture and city life. There are fantastic walks all around, great architecture, amazing landscapes for photography, wonderful pubs with real ale and great food if you are into golf great courses, horse riding, The Kennet and Avon Canal, history in abundance, great farm shops nearby including Lowden, Neston and their restaurants. Our local pub is The Pear Tree serving good food most of the year and only 2 minutes by car or a ten-minute walk away. Also the amazing Longs Arms in Upper South Wraxhall - gastro heaven, we highly recommend, the chef/proprietor is a perfectionist and passionate about his amazing food.

It is a great place to stay or live, whether you want to stay in the whole time and forget the rest of the world or visit local attractions.

What makes this property unique

Very convenient for Bath which is 20 minutes away. Chippenham is only 15 minutes away & has trains to London Paddington only 1 hour 15 minutes. Lacock is only 5 minutes away. Melksham is 5 minutes away with Waitrose, Sainsburys, Asda, Lidl and most of the major banks. Great public footpaths, fantastic area for photography, golf, history, architecture, family attractions, National Trust properties and culture.
