Contact from the owners made locating the cottage, and our arrival very simple. Tucked away at the end of a quiet road on the banks of the river Avon, the accommodation was perfect. Warm inside, with a lovely welcome pack, clean, very dog friendly - something that was very important to us- and with great facilities, I could not recommend this listing any higher.

). It's definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the fact that you can't park right next to the house and there are steps get into the property. The kitchen has everything you need and the owners very kindly put milk and some treats in the fridge for us, which was lovely. The house was very clean and comfortable and being by the water meant the air was fresh and cool even on hot days. There is a co op store very close by and a bus goes regularly into Bristol, meaning there is no need to tackle city parking! The drive to Weston Super Mare is short and Bath isn't too far either. Overall the location is good for anyone who wants to stay put and bask in quiet, or who is willing to travel to see the many sights around Bristol. We had a great holiday.
