“This is a lovely cottage in an idyllic setting for anyone who loves the countryside.”

Whilst it is compact, there is everything needed for a comfortable stay.

“This is a lovely cottage for 2 in a really nice location.”

It was a last minute switch for us as we had originally booked a cottage in Yorkshire but we would definitely book it again. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed, the village of Norton St Philip is very quaint and has 2 pubs and and a co-op store which are an easy walk from the cottage. There are some good walks from the cottage door and a good bus service from Norton St Philip into Bath (a journey of about 20 minutes) which we used to do some shopping and have a meal and some drinks somewhere different.

- Mr Norman, October 2020

It is great to hear you would definitely book Springfield Cottage again. By the time you visit again the cottage would have undergone a winter refurbishment, watch out for the new pictures coming soon! Manor Cottages Owner relations

“To start with the positives, the village is very quaint and quiet and the distance to Bath was very convenient.”

The local farms shops were not far at all and well worth a visit. The town also has a shop with is a pleasant walk away. The property itself was furnished to a good standard, and had most amenities that you could need (dishwasher washing machine etc). Upstairs boasted some lovely views over the fields. However it was not really as well maintained, nor as comfortable as we had hoped. My wife has asthma, and we found cob webs and dust all over the cottage, which really had a negative impact on the first few days of the stay. The bed was also quite uncomfortable. After we left a message, the owner did provide an extra duvet for comfort when we were out a few days later, but didn't actually make the effort to answer our calls or communicate with us in any way. Overall, the cottage has a lot of potential and the area is beautiful, but it just needs more attention.

- Mr Collier, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback, the owner takes all feedback very seriously. Because of recent feedback the owner has now employed a new house keeper and has blocked off the availability of the property for maintenance and improvements. We are glad you enjoyed the location and surrounding areas. Manor Cottages Owner relations
Mrs Eddy October 2020

“A very pretty cottage in need of some external TLC.”

We replaced the cover on the whirlline, the chairs and tables were not clean and the hinge was off the shed door. We had to put new batteries in the torch. The TV was difficult to use, luckily my partner is good with electronics other wise we would have had no sound. Another small point which was the same in the last cottage we stayed in,with a shower over the bath a rubber mat in the bath would help to stop slipping. Big thank you to Mr Coe for allowing us entry earlier than stated, and his recommendation for Sunday lunch.

- Mrs Eddy, October 2020

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your comments on Springfield Cottage. We appreciate you for bringing these to our attention and we will be resolving these as soon as possible. We are glad the cottage was ready and you were able to enjoy an earlier than planned check in. Owner relations
Mr Peters October 2020

“Lipstick on wine glasses Hot water capacity is not sufficient for 2 people to shower Bed is so firm it could be made of concrete No chair for the bedroom dressing table Kettle lid broken You can’t check in till 6pm but must check out by 9am; this is very unfair & had we not had to choose at short notice we probably would not have booked the cottage; having to get up at 6am to rush around stripping beds etc (already mentioned the lack of hot water for 2 showers)Just to be able to leave at 9am is not the best way to start your last day Very basic sundries provided, e.”

G 3 dishwasher tablets, carrier bag as a bin bag etc. luckily we took everything with us to the cottage that we use at home.

- Mr Peters, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on Springfield Cottage. We are very disappointed and sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at our cottage.We have contacted our housekeepers to address the comments you have made. We don't like to leave written instructions around the house however due to your comments we will put one in the bathroom in regards to the hot water, as there is a button available for extra hot water. The mattress is new from IKEA but of course the comfort of which is down to personal preference. We must point out that all guests are asked to leave at 10am, not 9am, as per the key collection details. We apologise if you were advised otherwise. Owner relations

Well-equipped and superbly located. Perfect for a break as a couple. Lots of nice extra touches.

“Only that it was a great place to stay.”

There are hills if you don't have trouble walking up hills then it's a great location. Co-op in the town lovely farm shop on road into Norton st.philip. 2 pubs in village. lovely pub serving good foot in Hinton charter house called Rose and Crown.

- Mrs Gould, August 2019
Mr De Vries August 2019

“Lovely cottage, very cosy.”

Furnished with a personal and appealing touch. Private garden with a nice view. Shop and pubs in shirt walking distance. Much to see in the area, too much for one week

Mr Hardcastle May 2019

“The cottage is nice and homely, comfortable, and a good size for two people, it’s easy to find, and in a good location.”

There is no parking outside but we parked close enough for that not to be an issue. I would definitely recommend this cottage for a short break.

- Mr Hardcastle, May 2019
Miss Hughes April 2019

“We had a very enjoyable 4 nights in this cottage.”

The location is fantastic to recharge the batteries, the only sounds are that of bird-song. The cottage its self was warm and clean. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs.

“A beautiful cottage, tastefully but simply decorated by the owners.”

Excellent location in a quiet village but within easy reach of Bath by Park & Ride or car. The historic George Inn is five minutes' walk away serving great food. Only two 'criticisms'. There was no sign of a 'starter pack' for the log burner. We weren't sure what this should be but on arrival we couldn't find any matches or a lighter and the cottage was chilly having not been occupied since 31 December (a small Christmas tree remained ...). We eventually found the matches buried underneath logs at the bottom of the coal scuttle on the second day. This was really down to the Property Home Service, not the owners we presume. The front door was also difficult to open on arrival as there was a month's worth of post on the mat. Probably all only an issue at this time of the year when visitors are not so frequent. Secondly, it would have been helpful to have known there was no shaver socket in the cottage - my husband only had an electric shaver with him ... Apart from that, a very enjoyable stay in a well-equipped, comfortable, cosy cottage.

- Mrs Collins, January 2019

Thank you for your comments which we have passed on to our housekeepers. We are very sorry to hear the cottage was a little chilly on arrival. It is constantly heated and very well insulated to keep it cosy. We have put extra heaters in each room to ensure the temperature can be boosted quickly when necessary. We are so pleased you loved Springfield Cottage and enjoyed your stay and we hope you will consider staying with us again. Owner relations

“A lovely little cottage on the edge of the village.”

An ideal place for a couple to hide away for a few days.

Mr Marshall October 2018

“The cottage was very comfortable and had all of the facilities expected plus more, allowing us to cook some great meals and enjoy a film b the log fire.”

Recommend to others definitely!

“The property was very well furnished and equipped to a very high standard and in a perfect location.”

A good range of local information was provided, especially the local farm shops. The owners seem to have thought about all the little details that a visitor would want or need.

The property

Springfield Cottage is utterly gorgeous!

Typically cosy and every inch a classic Cotswolds cottage, this very charming holiday home also has the added benefit of being within a very easy drive of Bath too.

It's located on a very quiet lane (almost above it in fact...) on the edge of the village of Norton St Philip which itself is similarly outstanding and beautiful.

Inside, the property has been carefully and stylishly improved with stripped wooden floors in the living room and a warming wood burning stove, while a smart, contemporary kitchen awaits the discerning cook.

Upstairs is cool bathroom and cute bedroom which overlooks the countryside (from your bed!).

The owners, famous artists, really have added their creative touches throughout and the result is classy bolt hole for two.

We love it!

Outside , there is a private garden with a patio and bench, very peaceful and with super country views and within a few minutes you've got two classic country pubs too.

Quite heavenly....
