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.

Perfect for our group of 4 adults!
My stay at The Rafters (with my spouse and my parents) was exactly as I expected. The photos and online description matched what we found when we arrived, and the hosts gave plenty of information about how to find it, get into the place, etc. so getting there was totally stress free. There were lots of added "extras" that made the stay even better-- the guidebook with restaurant recommendations, some provisions in the fridge-- and the location of the home in Freshford was ideal (close to the train station to get easily get to Bath or other cities). I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!
