Cosy, peaceful cottage near Bath and Longleat. | Cottage in Bath
1 Bedroom Cottage in Rode, Bath
Tastefully converted in 2011, The Barn holiday cottage is a small stone barn providing comfortable and cosy accommodation for two people on our seventeen acre small farm. The cottage comprises a comfortable double bedroom, luxury shower room, well equipped kitchenette with electric hob, oven, fridge and washer/dryer. There is also a sunny lounge (with TV/DVD player) and a south-west facing sun terrace where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sun.
Barrow Farm is situated in the picturesque village of Rode. Rode is a peaceful and pretty village with many old and historic buildings. It is the village where the infamous victorian murder took place which the film and book ‘The Suspicions of Mr Whicher’ describes. Back to the current time, Rode is situated close to Bath, only nine miles south-east of the World Heritage Site. Rode is also fifteen minutes drive to Longleat Safari Park and Longleat House. National Trust properties such as Stourhead, Lacock (where some of Harry Potter was filmed) and Dyrham Park are also about a half hours drive away. Further afield you have the famous prehistoric monument, Stone Henge and also Avebury with its many standing stones and museum. Bristol is easy to visit by train with its many attractions such as the SS Britain and Wells is worth a visit for its beautiful cathedral.
Back at home, our lovely stone built farm nestles in the Frome river valley where we have our own free-range hens and a small flock of Wiltshire Horn sheep. We also run a very small scale PYO and a 5 van Caravan Club CL site. There are numerous pretty walks on the doorstep including the long distance Macmillan footpath and for cyclists lots of country lanes and also the Wiltshire Cycle Way. Rode itself hs two good eating pubs all within walking distance and also has a regular bus service into Frome, Trowbridge and Chippenham. There is a bus service into Bath but not as regular.
As well as two eating pubs within walking distance there is also a Post Office which sells newspapers and general stores. There is also a lovely café within the post office/shop. Other local towns nearby include Frome, an historic market town (where some of Poldark was filmed) and the very picturesque Bradford on Avon with the Kennet and Avon canal to walk or cycle along. Beautiful Bath is only nine miles away and Wells and Glastonbury about fourty minutes away as well as many other places to visit and enjoy.
ACCESS STATEMENT: The Barn cottage is sited on our small farm and is therefore in a rural setting. We have a flock of sheep on the farm and free range hens. The farm and cottage are surrounded by some undulating ground. The front of the cottage has a gravel surface and the back of the cottage has a terrace with paving stones.
