Rush Hill Cottage - with parking for 2 cars

Nice house. It was clean, well furnished and living area was comfortable. The kitchen was quite well equipped, enough for our needs. The bathroom was good but the shower was right in the corner of the bath, so a bit awkward. We were within easy reach of Bath. We took an Uber one way and a taxi the other, both about £12. The bedrooms were nice, especially the master bedroom at the front of the house.

The smaller double bedroom was above the kitchen and the boiler. We had turned the heating down but my friend got very little sleep due to noise from the boiler and/or pipes. My other friend, in the single room, could hear it too. We found access difficult. We arrived at the property in the dark and in heavy rain. Luckily we had driven past earlier, to make sure we knew where it was. There was an area for 2 cars, as advertised, but the kerb wasn't lowered and we were turning right across a busy main road. We then found a car already parked there. The lady sitting in it, said she was visiting a friend. We had to park on mud and broken paving slabs, because she had parked on the paved area. There were piles of paving slabs stacked up, which were barely visible in the pitch dark. We could easily have damaged the car. We had to phone the owner and ask how we actually got into the house, as we couldn't see a thing. There needs to be a light on a sensor in the parking area. Neighbours also need to be told they cannot allow guests to park there. What would have happened if we had been in 2 cars? Access to the house was through a gate and across long grass with a few stepping stones. Not ideal on a dark, wet December night.

It ticked all the boxes.

Nothing to dislike.

Everything!

It didn’t have bbc 1on the tv downstairs

So homely and cosy!

Shower was a bit weak but that’s the only thing!

It was warm and inviting. Lovely touch leaving hot chocolate; tea and coffee.

Shower curtain rail needs fixing! Also found a dead woodlice in one of the beds. Also a late check out would have been good. Sign post on the fence so you can find it easier. Looking for it in the darks a bit of a nightmare.

Perfect location for exploring Bath. Having the parking was fantastic. The little Chinese Takeaway next door was a lovely surprise and the food was excellent. Big Sainsbury's 3 mins drive away and Co-Op mini-mart within walking distance.

The mattress in the main bedroom was surprisingly bad considering how lovely everything else was. I could feel all the springs poking through. I implore the owner to either replace the mattress and / or use padded mattress protectors which will create a much more lush feel in keeping with the rest of the furnishings and decor. Also deep-fit fitted sheets would cover the mattress and again make it look as classy as everything else. Just small details but would leave a strong impression.

The property itself is stunning. It’s less than a 10 minute uber drive into town. The rooms are massive and there is so much space given the actual size of the property. We weren’t expecting to have towels or shower wash so we brought our own. But they had everything and more there for us! Towels, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and biscuits. We were beyond impressed. Such a stunning cottage.

Only downfall as there was 5 of us at the property was the 1 bathroom but was zero issue for only staying the one night.
