Nicely renovated property-like new. Very comfy and nice location near great Pulteney street. Need a better system for venting bathroom as keeping the window ajar makes for very cold showers. Also not being able to adjust heat is frustrating. Overall a very nice stay just a little cold.

Well located, ckean and pleasant accommodation
My wife and I stayed at the Garden House to visit Bath. It is a well located property, adjacent to Sydney Gardens and a ten minute walk into the city. The property was well looked after, comfortable and modern. A good base in which to explore Bath.

Perfect unique and quiet residence
We loved our stay at this cottage in Bath. The location in the Sydney Gardens was the perfect combination of being quiet and private while also being just a quick and easy walk to and from the city center. We loved walking through the garden each morning and evening, and it was a unique experience being beside the large, old mansion. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed, and communication with the manager was seamless. We would recommend this property to other visitors to Bath!

.A perfect place to hang your hat for a few days or more. It is close enough to the city centre yet far enough away from the "maddening crowds." The owners are wonderful and helpful to a fault. Nothing but outstanding was our 4 day stay. If ever we are back in Bath, we will attempt to stay here!!!

Perfect location - quiet, charming and comfortable
Stayed two nights for my wife's 60th birthday. Property was spotless and exactly as described. Location was perfect - quiet yet only a short walk into the centre of Bath. Deceptive size - the property was much bigger inside than we were expecting. Wouldn't hessitate in recommending this place - lovely.
