Well placed between the historic elegance of Bath and the creative energy of Bristol, this contemporary cottage is an excellent base for a group gathering of friends or family looking to combine culture and countryside. An 8 mile drive away, or a short walk to the High Street to hop on a bus there, Bath is famed for its Georgian architecture, boutique shopping and, of course, its thermal waters. With year-round events, from Christmas markets to literature and music festivals, there’s always something happening. Bristol (5 miles) brings a lively, cosmopolitan edge to your stay. Packed with street art (don’t miss Banksy’s originals), galleries, theatres, and live music venues, it’s a city that hums with creativity. From the famous Bristol International Balloon Festival to harbourside food markets, there’s a packed calendar of events. Alternatively, escape to Wick Golden Valley Nature Reserve (2.5 miles), a peaceful haven of woodlands and waterfalls. Or visit Dyrham Park (7 miles), a National Trust gem with a grand baroque mansion, roaming deer, and expansive parkland for picnics.
Tucked away in a peaceful location with views across Siston Common, this charming traditional stone cottage offers a blend of character and comfort. Enter the welcoming hall with space to store coats, boots, and all your outdoor gear. Just off the hallway is a snug, perfect for younger guests, complete with a small TV, a well-stocked bookcase, and a fantastic selection of board games. There’s also a handy utility room and a cloakroom for added convenience. Continue through to the main lounge – a beautiful room with plush sofas, a wood burner, and a large TV, creating a lovely spot to unwind after a day of exploring. At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/diner. With a central island and bar stools, it’s ideal for sociable meal prep, while the oak-framed dining area sets the scene for memorable family dinners and lazy breakfasts. Head upstairs to the first floor, where you’ll find two double bedrooms and a twin room, all tastefully furnished and full of natural light. Two luxurious family bathrooms on this level each boast a roll-top bath and a separate walk-in shower. The second floor is home to the elegant master suite, featuring a comfortable double bed and a gleaming en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and a separate shower.
Outside, the private garden is a real highlight. Steps lead up to a raised terrace and a fully enclosed bar area with seating inside and out, a bar counter, and a wall-mounted TV – a fantastic setting for evening drinks, weekend celebrations, or simply watching the match alfresco. Off-road parking for two cars ensures a hassle-free stay.
