A short drive away (10 miles) is the beautiful, historic Roman town of Bath which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you fancy a day of culture there are endless things to visit such as: The Roman Baths - www.romanbaths.co.uk

Old stables
Beautiful property in a quiet location. Plenty of space for our group of six and 4 month old baby. Sue provided a travel cot last minute and organised an earlier check in for my son in law to have a team meeting She sorted everything for us over the phone before check in Would happily return Frances

Amazing
Stunning house and location, there was nothing it did not have from Kitchen equipment, washing facilities and toys/games for the whole family. We were welcomed by a fantastic food hamper. We had lovely log fire in the evening. Our grandson loved the Llama's in the next field. Overall I can not fault the property. Fantastic time had by my whole family would definitely recommend it and visit again. Just one piece of advise if you go into Bath it is much easier to get the train from Chippenham rather than parking in the city.

Buen sitio rodeado de campo
Recién reformado y todo en buenas condiciones. El único pero la casa estaba muy fría el primer día. Buenos caminos cerca para paseos y bicis.
