Positive Reviews
positive:
Standout hosts go out of their way to help.
Those who decided on a stay at School Cottages said they found their hosts to be highly hospitable, relaxed and helpful. According to reviews, this welcome was something experienced across the board, to the point that guests repeatedly mentioned the proprietors as very much bending over backwards to be of assistance.
positive:
Peaceful spot close to Bath, very comfy.
This B&B is said to be very handy for accessing Bath, with all of the spa town's attractions just a short drive away, but is nevertheless set in a pleasant and peaceful rural spot, among garden and grounds which were said to be very nice indeed and came complete with resident pygmy goats. Guests reported finding clean and comfortable rooms and cottages, which were mentioned as having been restored in a very tasteful manner, while the roaring log fires were also a hit with a fair number of visitors.
positive:
Delicious breakfasts from home-grown ingredients.
Reviews always mentioned apparently delicious cooked breakfasts, which were described as including a wide range of fresh, local and homemade fare — even down to their own eggs and garden produce — and options for all dietary requirements. School Cottages also got special mentions for their homemade jams, which were thought to be rather scrummy.
