Escape to the refined tranquillity of Freshford, a charming village nestled in the Avon Valley, just 6 miles from the historic city of Bath. Set on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, Freshford offers couples a serene blend of rural beauty and cultural heritage. The village is known for its honey-coloured stone cottages, scenic woodlands, and timeless ambience − perfect for romantic strolls and quiet reflection. The River Frome winds gently through the village, providing picturesque riverside walks to enjoy together. Nearby, explore Henrietta Park (6 miles), follow the Bath Skyline Trail, or take in panoramic views at Prior Park Landscape Garden home to the iconic Palladian Bridge (11 miles). For the more adventurous, enjoy hill walks or experience simulated game shooting within the protected woodlands of the estate. A truly unforgettable retreat where rustic charm meets refined relaxation.

From the moment you arrive, a golden stone driveway welcomes you, setting the tone for a warm and memorable stay. Step through the front door into a light-filled hallway, where large windows draw in the sun and guide you through to a beautifully designed open-plan lounge and kitchen. The space features a breakfast bar, dining area, and a thoughtfully arranged living room − perfect for sharing a romantic meal or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee with views of the countryside. Sink into the cosy sofa as the wood burner crackles beside you and relax with a good book or your favourite series. When night falls, retreat to the elegant bedroom, complete with a luxurious king-size bed, bedside tables, and a dresser − crafted for comfort and a true home-from-home feel. The ensuite shower room provides everything you need to wash away the day and unwind in comfort.

Outside, the enclosed garden is perfect for your four-legged companion, with scenic countryside walks just beyond the gate and evenings made magical by cooking on the BBQ or using the pizza oven under the stars.

We stayed at the cottage for one week as a couple with a dog, and it was absolutely wonderful. The cottage is really greatvery stylish, bright, and thoughtfully designed. It has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The location feels very private and peaceful, yet its still conveniently close to pubs and cafs, especially iRead moref you have a car. The surroundings and the wider region are beautiful, with plenty to explore. Bath is very close, offering lots of activities, and there are also great hiking trails nearby for enjoying nature. We particularly loved the garden and the beautiful views it was the perfect place to unwind. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Thank you for such a lovely experience! Hide
