Swan walkers cottage

It was fairly spacious

The smell....the property was was in need of a deep clean, although the bedding was clean

price was good and convenient for overnight stay .

The property I poorly kept , both bathrooms smelt and need refreshing, most of the furniture is tired and needs upgrading not even a jug of milk too welcome us no wifi , nor sure how anyone can manage without this. The upstairs bedrooms are reached by a very steep staircase, and this should be highlighted especially for anyone with very young kids or anyone with mobility issues. Ultimately am sure the property would suit families, young people and anyone on a budget but it

it’s location to Bath Park &Ride

Getting from main bedroom to bathroom, quite difficult sets of stairs not good for older people especially at night.

Perfect place to stay overnight Location was perfect for us friend to meet from different parts of the country and great for visiting Bath

Easy access. It’s by the road so you lose no time travelling north the next day. The cottage has some china displays and they brighten up the house.

It’s by the main road and cars and trucks sped pass throughout the night. It’s therefore quite noisy. Also as we arrived late in the evening I didn’t see the blind for the skylight until the next morning (which can be closed if you stand on the bed)and the lights from the vehicles disturbed the sleep. There is one small room downstairs (no windows) and two upstairs (all rooms with single beds); the stairs are quite narrow and steep so it does not suit people with mobility issues and parents need to be careful with young children. The upstairs shower gel dispenser was broken. Judging by the fact that the shampoo box has run out and the shower gel is half full, it probably has been broken for quite some time and is not fixed. Downstairs bathroom shower gel and shampoo boxes were also empty. After shower I found some half used small travel kit shower gels (hotel ones. not sure if left behind by earlier guests). The feeling is that the owner can’t be bothered to check, or to give instructions to guests ~ there’s no instruction whatsoever apart from how to get the key.

Location Value for money Great base to explore the surrounding area

The mattress

This was in a great location for getting to the P&R for Bath - only a 7 minute drive to the nearest P&R ( Lansdown Park). House right beside the Cotswold Way (long distance walk) with beautiful rural scenery after only a few minutes walking. Very quaint house, homely and comfortable - it used to be a pub so has some interesting features. Useful to have Shell garage with Londis shop and Costa Coffee next door. Despite my Booking.com receipt misleadingly saying there was no parking or wifi, there are both.

Being right beside the A46, it was quite noisy at night with passing HGVs etc (earplugs solved that problem). It was extremely difficult to turn right out of the property in the car, due to the busyness and speed of vehicles on the road, especially at peak times - needed to take great care!
