  The flat was perfect and the location couldn’t have been better. However, when we arrived we were given the keys to the garage and left to find it. It wasn’t difficult but we couldn’t get the garage door to open- bearing in mind we have a similar garage at home. We tried repeatedly, wasting precious holiday time on it but with no success. Phoned the housekeeper who suggested we park in a local car park and claim back the cost when we got home! We phoned head office and spoke to Will who said it was ok to park in front of the garage... The housekeeper asked us to leave the keys under the mat but although she took them we didn’t hear from her until we were leaving and then only because I messaged her. We were concerned about leaving it and walked back to check a number of times. One of the other garage owners left a curt message on our windscreen suggesting that we move the car ASAP. We were promised “secure parking” but what we got was very unsatisfactory...

  We had a really good week at Barrow Mead.

  The cottage has everything needful (and we did all our own cooking and spent quite a lot of time just chilling with our grown up children, so we really lived there, not treating it just as a bed for the night!) The absolute beauty of the place is its situation right on the edge of the city, but with the fields all around......To turn in the gateway and down the lane is to enter a different, peaceful world; a very welcome one as we are not city people! If we had a niggle, it would be the dormer window in our bedroom....the ceiling angle caught my husband on the head more times than he would care to remember.....fortunately no real damage done! Oh, and another middle-sized saucepan would be a great help....sometimed we cooked for two in huge pans. Thank you Louise and Matt for providing such a peaceful space.

  The cottage is very well maintained, comfortable, attractive in a lovely, quiet yet convenient spot near the park and ride into Bath.

  However instructions on how to alter the heating ( it was too cold the first evening and blasted out heat in the bedrooms over night.) I couldn't fathom how to alter it and had to trouble the owner. Also keeping the log burner alight was problematical and you need to experiment with the settings. Again no instructions given. These are crucial in December. A tea cosy would be nice as would a glove for the log burner. This may seem nit-picking but would have made our visit perfect rather than just very good. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting a stay near Bath.

  Rural Retreats describe it as a ‘beautiful and well presented apartment’ which in our opinion it is not. The only area we can rate it highly is on location. The flooring, with exception of kitchen/dining area, needs complete refurbishment. The flat needs redecorating. The cleaning needs improvement, ie flies on window ledges lamps not working. Water leak through fan in bathroom bringing down black ‘bits’. Uncomfortable sofas. Communal areas need complete refurbishment. Overall not up to RR usual high standard-we have been a customer for many years.

  I was assured that the keys would be collected from a nearby hotel, with more details to be given closer to the stay, according to the initial explanation. However, the arrival information I received a week before departure instructed me to make an international call to the housekeeper and, as a result of various subsequent problems, I had to take a taxi to the housekeeper's home to collect the keys. The unexpected call, communication and taxi costs were necessary and, most importantly, it was mentally stressful.
