Snaptrip says

Hillside Cottage in Bath is highly praised for its stunning views, peaceful setting, and welcoming host, Ruth. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including welcome packs and dog-friendly amenities. While some find the property compact and the steps challenging, the charm and convenience to local attractions like Bath, Wells, and Mendips are well-regarded. The garden and local walks add to the appeal, making it a recommended stay for those seeking beauty and tranquility.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and comfortable, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards maintained by the host.

The location is celebrated for its beautiful countryside views, peacefulness, and proximity to Bath and other attractions. Some guests mention challenges with parking and steep access, but the overall sentiment is very positive.

Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, though a few mention the compact size and steep stairs. The presence of amenities like a double shower and a secure garden for dogs contributes to the comfort level.

The property is well-equipped with essentials and extras like a dishwasher and washing machine. Some guests feel the decor is a bit dated and there are occasional comments about the TV signal, but overall the facilities meet guests' needs.

The host's thoughtfulness is frequently highlighted, with mentions of welcome packs including treats like wine, biscuits, and even a cake. While these gifts are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

    Owner was friendly and helpful and gave excellent directions. Would recommend that you use the directions from owner rather than a satnav. Looking forward to staying there again later in the year

    On arrival we were greeted by Ruth and the beautiful doggies and once inside the property there were biscuits and hot drink facilities available which was very much appreciated after the long journey. The bed and sofa bed were absolutely amazing and felt like sleeping on big cushions. Though it was cold due to the winter period we were advised by Ruth that we could turn up the radiators to keep warm which was lovely. There are amenities close by after a short drive to Lidl or Sainsbury's and the cottage has amazing views which makes a wonderful change to our local city views, it's also in a wonderful location for visiting either Bath or Bristol if it takes your fancy. Thank you Ruth for being so welcoming from Fran, Rob and Jorgia.

    Beautiful views across the countryside, and a well kept, lovely home away from away. Had all the amenities that you could ask for, and the owner left a nice little welcome package including a really nice coffee cake and some mini stollen (that we've been hunting for more of ever since, haha). Would happily stay again and would highly recommend to anyone planning to explore Bath and the rest of this corner of the country.
