"Overall, we loved it. We would look to stay at Toad Cottage again when revisiting Bath."

9.0

It's a great value-for-money, cute little property in a great setting on the bank of the river Avon. Privacy, space, comfort & good vibes a plenty. The owners provide a full and completely detailed information book, left in the cottage, with everything we might need to know about local services, facilities, and what to do in emergency situations. Otherwise, we was left alone to enjoy ourselves the entire time which was great. Full kitchen facilities provide lots of options & freedom for food - all the basic utensils you could need, fridge, oven/hob, and consumables like foil and oil. And with the on-site restaurant being an option for Thurs-Sun, that's fantastic too, though we didn't personally try it as we stayed Sun-Wed. On-site parking is super useful and spacious enough, and they even gave us as much time as we wanted to leave our car there after check-out on our last day free of charge, meaning we could get some lunch and do some final site seeing before heading home. Definitely one of the best accommodation options in Bath from what we saw, and hands-down beats the appeal of just getting a hotel room that doesn't provide you half as much and at similar pricing. Mimi (?) the dog was also a lovely surprise visitor too.

The seemingly excessive use of water softener tablets has made the water from the taps so soft that it is in fact actually impossible to actually wash any kind of soap off of your hands/skin. Washing for 5+ minutes, only to have your hands instantly and fully re-lather up when you rub them together, leaving you frustrated and just rubbing them dry with a towel, which then leaves the soap residue on you, and seriously dries out your skin. And if you then wet your hands again after this and rub them together? They will lather up again as if you JUST put soap on them! As an eczema suffer, this is terrible to deal with. Same thing in the shower. Soap, shampoo, conditioner - you literally cannot wash the stuff off of you. And combine this with the fact that it is a walk-in shower, with no in-shower mat provided to assist with grip, leaves this a very slippery and potentially unsafe experience each time you step in. In comparison, no other taps used at any other venue in Bath during our entire 4 night/3 day stay caused this problem, so it's definitely something being done here. Maybe this isn't always the case, but it's definitely something the owners should consider changing if this is what's normal for them.
