Beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable. The Rafters was the perfect countryside retreat for a friend and I to stay in while visiting the west country. Lovely old cottage that has been meticulously updated and is full of character. The village is picturesque, and we found the location ideal for a car-free holiday. The Rafters is just a 5 minute walk uphill from the Freshford train station. We also loved the village Cafe and shop, which has delicious cakes and is only a 10 minute walk away. Gorgeous country walks nearby also. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Our hosts were lovely and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only challenge was the small parking spot. We had rented a larger car. Centrally situated in a beautiful village. The food and milk set out for us was an added gesture. Thank you

Lovely spacious property in a beautiful location with easy access to Bath and other local sights by road or rail. The cottage is a short walk to the train station with hourly trains to bath during off peak times. Not having to drive into Bath was a real bonus. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and a really lovely place to relax. Having two en suite bathrooms was a real bonus. The local shop and tea room is only a short walk, maybe 15 mins, though it is hilly so plan to use a car if this could be an issue. There is also no accessible access to the return side of the station platform but GWR are worth a call if step free access is needed. I would highly recommend The Rafters and would definitely stay there again.

Everything was excellent and the host even provided bacon, eggs, bread and butter! The railway station is a real bonus, just one stop from Bath
