The Experience

Park in the lane, then walk down the side path to the end of the garden. Find a little courtyard with a table and chairs for catching the evening sun next to a stone barn that used to be a cart shed for the dairy.

Downstairs is open-plan with a wood-burner, upstairs has a pretty bedroom with views of the village church and beyond it, Bath. Lovely Maggie lives in the main house, and leaves you with fresh flowers, a basket of logs, tea, coffee and milk; she’ll fetch croissants from the village for breakfast and leave them outside your door if you like.

Walk into the village to the community shop, take a day trip to Bath, cool off in the river on hot days or just sit in the window seat and read or paint. The nearest pub for dinner, The Crown, is a short stroll away.

Joanna, Chichester

Wonderful stay at The Old Dairy Barn. Our host Maggie was very welcoming and helpful and the location is ideal for visiting Bath and surrounding attractions. The accommodation was very clean and Beautifully designed with nice touches/features. We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely visit again if in the area.

Perfect. Delightfully quiet and secluded, completely comfortable, Maggie has thought of everything and is immensely friendly and helpful with local knowledge. Very easy journey into Bath city centre. We have booked multiple returns!

Karen, King’s Lynn

The Old Dairy Barn is an ideal base from which to explore Bath and the beautiful countryside surrounding it. Bathford itself is charming with walks from the door, a village pub and a brilliant well stocked community shop and cafe.There are also several National Trust properties nearby and river and canal side walks. We were very comfortable in the barn. The small courtyard garden at the back is a sun trap and a lovely private area. The open plan living area was spacious and practical. Upstairs there is a panoramic view from the main bedroom. A relaxing break!

Gayle, Chelttenham

We only wish we'd been able to stay longer! What a special place - so peaceful, yet close to Bath city centre, accessed via a stroll along the Kennett and Avon canal. The views from the bedroom window made getting up early easy: pink mist with birdsong. We hope to be back soon.

Location

The neighbourhood

Bathford is a proper village just outside Bath with a primary school, a church, a good pub and even a community-run shop which sells organic and local produce. You're at the conjunction of two rivers and there are lovely walks to be had, across fields and through the woods to Brown's Folly which has amazing views of Bath, or to the sweet village of Monkton Farleigh. Leave the car and get the bus into Bath city for the day - they go every 15 minutes and only take 15 minutes – or you can drive there in 10.

Local points of interest from Maggie

  • Nestled on the wooded slopes between Brown's Folly and the parish church. Great local pub with French cuisine, amazingly well stocked community shop with local organic produce and cafe, fresh croissants and pastries. Bus service to Bath every 15 minutes.
  • A 10 minute drive or brisk walk/bike ride from the Kennet and Avon Canal with its colourful narrowboats, cafes, canoe and cycle hire.
  • Explore the Bath skyline on foot, by bike, or even better see the city from the air in a hot air balloon. On a warm summer’s evening balloons rise across the valley and some even land on our doorstep in the fields around here.
  • Soak up some culture, in the museums, galleries and Georgian architecture of the Royal Crescent, The Circus, and Assembly Rooms. Visit the Holburne Museum, No 1 Royal Crescent. Take a free walking tour of the city to get your bearings.
  • The ancient Roman Baths in the city centre are seen at their most atmospheric and peaceful on late summer evenings by the light of flickering torches. You can bathe in the warm waters and book treatments at the new Thermae Bath Spa just opposite.
  • Just a stone’s throw away are the mellow Cotswold stone villages of Lacock, Castle Combe, and Corsham all famous locations for films such as Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Downton Abbey, War Horse and Poldark. The best places for a cream tea.

Introducing

Maggie

Maggie moved here 30 years ago with her artist husband Ron and their children, and at one time was the publicity officer for the Roman Baths so is a fount of local knowledge. The Old Dairy was Ron's studio and some of his prints still hang here. Maggie has turned it into a space for her to welcome guests – they love having people to stay and do house swaps with people from all over the world. Maggie loves the theatre and sometimes hosts actors from the Theatre Royal in Bath. She's also happy to arrange yoga/meditation/reflexology or reiki sessions. Or to babysit.
