    The cosy, colourful house is aptly named! It is in the hills above Bath, near a delightful small community called Larkhall. We enjoyed shopping at the deli, grocery, butcher, and bakery there. We saw a play in the local theatre. We never needed a taxi or an Uber; the bus system is extremely easy.

    It was such a beautiful, comfortable home with everything you need. All the little extra touches made our trip including prosecco in the fridge. We loved the garden too! The bus stop to Bath is only across the road. It is so quiet and Viv had truly thought of everything. Such a perfect stay.

    We had great difficulty unlocking the front door when we arrived, and had to make contact with Viv via Booking.com to gain access. We appreciate that this was dealt with swiftly, but unlocking the door both from inside and outside throughout our stay was far from easy.

    The house was in a good location with a 20 to 30 minute walk into the city centre. There was also a bus stop across the road, but we didn't use it. The house was very relaxing, as was the garden which had a Mediterranean feel about it. Viv kept us updated through out our stay.

    There was nothing we did not like. Even when it rained we felt so happy and peaceful.

    We loved the big open door the goes to the patio. The whole house is so incredibly inviting. And the vibrant colours are happy. Bus stop just across the road. Ubre to town was around £8 to £10. Or a half hour walk. Beautyfull views.

    Parking directly outside of house a bit difficult at end of school when children being collected but found places along the road. Definitely need to raise the temperature for the oven (as warned in the welcome book) or food takes a while to cook. Nothing really to dislike

    A lovely garden and sitting area. A house full of plants, light and airy. A cosy front room and a larger sitting/dining/kitchen area. Plenty of room for two couples. Downstairs toilet and one in the bathroom which had shower as well as bath. The house had everything one needed and a good regular bus service into Bath opposite the house. Would love to go again.

    The front door was a little hard to open at first but once we figured out the trick we were ok.

    It had everything we could need as a family with children, especially the bath upstairs, good size kitchen for self catering and space to explore in the yard. It feels very homey and only a short drive or bus ride from town and supermarkets. All the rooms have nice views over the town and back garden.

    If IKEA and straight lines are your thing, you will not like this house.

    An absolutely fantastic house. It is in a great location with a short bus journey into the centre of Bath. A fabulous garden for relaxing in when you need to chill. A real home from home. It felt like you were staying with a friend.

    Nothing it was absolutely perfect in every way

    Location : Perfect . I personally slept in the master bedroom and awoke at dawn to the glorious sunlight & view of rolling hills. Each room was thematically decorated with taste and quirky style with every mod con . It was also spotlessly clean. In the evenings we opened the bifold doors and had a cool evening in the relaxing garden lounge. We ate at home in the evenings as everything was catered to in terms of the very well equipped kitchen We drove down from oxford but got the bus down to the city everyday and did not need the car at a All.

    It was a little too busy with loads of ornaments and plants for my tastes but some might like that. It certainly gave the place character and a lived in feel. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ INFO ABOUT RUBBISH DISPOSAL. We didn’t and ended up with an extra bill for £32.

    Very quirky and cosy. Handy for the bus stop to Bath. Beautiful outside area and seating area. Sky Tv was a bonus. Good bathroom and shower and comfy beds.

    I was disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the sofas. They were covered with throws but the sofas and throws were covered with dog hairs, which obviously hadn’t been cleaned for weeks. There is a £20 pet charge for extra cleaning, but unfortunately it isn’t being done.

    The cottage is colourful and ethnic, as the photos show and why I chose to stay. Very comfortable and relaxed. The location is near to dog walks of buttercup fields and the canal and river. Also there are scenic walks into the city
