“Ideal for peace,quiet and relaxation yet close to a lot of attractions.”

Thanks to owner Simon for sharing local knowledge and places to see,without his information we probably would have missed a couple of places we really enjoyed. Pheasant cottage has all you need and more, Lucy bakes a great cake! We had a lovely time there with occasional chats with owners. Thank you Simon and Lucy x

“Spent a fabulous sunny week in Pheasant Cottage.”

Well equipped property and beautiful outlook into the gardens from your lounge. Simon and Lucy are the perfect hosts. Loved Lucy's cake what a treat. Really appreciated Simon's suggestions where to visit. The pub 'Ring O Bells serves delicious food and not to far to walk from the cottage.

David May 2025

“Such a relaxing and fulfilling stay.”

Pheasant Cottage has everything you need to switch off during your stay. We really appreciated the wildlife views from the picture window and being able to stroll the 18-acre grounds at the property. Simon and Lucy made us incredibly welcome and were forthcoming with hints and tips for activities in the local area (for which Priston village is an excellent base). We'd absolutely recommend to anyone eyeing up their next break.

“Beautiful peaceful setting, the owners enhanced our stay with their friendly suggestions and care of us.”

“Lovely property and great hosts- appreciated the welcome cake and advice on how to get to locations and park the car.”

Stunning location - the view was very pretty in the morning and amazing clear skies at night for star watching. Local pub on the doorstep did wonderful food. Ideal holiday location for city sights. The cottage was furnished very nicely and it was a lovely thoughtful touch to add the festive decorations and little Christmas tree.Heating was super comfortable. (Perhaps an option for softer bed pillows though! )Had a wonderful break and would highly recommend the cottage.

“Had a perfect restful peaceful stay in the cottage.”

Warm welcome from the owners. The cottage is compact but well thought out. The views are amazing and people in the village are friendly.

Fantastic opportunity to observe wildlife close up eg woodpeckers, a hare, pheasant. A lovely welcome with a freshly made cake waiting for us.

“A magical small but perfectly furnished and equipped holiday home.”

Everything to the highest standard. Magnificent trees, sweeping grass and lovely planting.

Valerie May 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Pheasant Cottage is small but perfect. The grounds are well maintained and watching the pheasants squirrels, a barn owl and even a red kite bird of prey added to the experience. A lovely place as a base to visit all the surrounding places of interest such as Bath, Wells, Glastonbury and Cheddar. The lemon drizzle cake left for us by the owner was a lovely gesture and much appreciated after our long journey from lancashire. The village pub is also a friendly place and serves excellent food.Would not hesitate to recommend and would certainly stay again.

- Valerie, May 2024

Karen May 2024

“Pheasant Cottage is an absolute gem.”

I had a wonderful week in the peaceful Somerset countryside. Its ideally located for the Bath Park and Ride and a good base for exploring the delights of Somerset and Wiltshire. At night it's so peaceful with no light pollution and the glass wall gives a superb view across the owners land, which one is able to wander around at leisure. A delicious cake awaited me when I arrived, alongside fully stocked tea, coffee and sugar canisters (which you don't always get). Lucy is absolutely charming and we a couple interesting chats, mainly about the gorgeousness of Somerset and our dogs! I would absolutely recommend this gorgeous cottage and am already thinking about when I can go back!

- Karen, May 2024

Thank you for this wonderful review which is much appreciated. We're delighted you had such a great stay at Pheasant Cottage and made the most of exploring the Cotswolds and surrounding areas. We look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Karen April 2024

“Great little holiday cottage at the end of an idyllic village.”

Set in the owners grounds, it is peaceful and relaxing. Compact, but very comfy and cosy. Has everything you need for 2. Bed and shower are lovely. I could have spent all day just looking out through that huge window. Home made cake was a welcome treat too. Nice little walks from the front door. Ring O Bells pub is welcoming and the food is amazing. Perfectly located for visiting Bristol, Bath ( on the park and ride), Wells, Glastonbury, Cheddar, Bradford on Avon, Weston super mare. Certainly recommend.

- Karen, April 2024

Quiet and relaxing with a beautiful outlook down to the stream with daily visits from the pheasants and other wildlife. The cottage was warm and cosy and the home made cake was much appreciated.

Claire December 2023

“We had to contact the property owner as the cottage was a tad cool on the Thursday and Friday so she sent us the heating controls instructions but we managed with the fan heater and blanket in the main room to stay cosy until weekend heating kicked in!”

Lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely welcome, reminding us of skiing holidays we’ve been on and the place is simply beautiful, comfortable, equipped to a high standard besides being well placed for Park & Ride for our visit to Bath and its environs. We joined villagers on their Carol Singing as the local pub was closed over the festive period and saw them again in the Seven Stars Inn in the next village which set us up before moving on to join family. Definitely recommend this cottage as did a 6 mile circular walk too and it was easy to follow paths from the garden out into the countryside.

- Claire, December 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're delighted you loved the cottage and the surrounding amenities over the Christmas period and that you were able to contact the owner easily with your heating query. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

We found the village of Priston very interesting from a historic perspective and enjoyed local walks and visits to the local parish church an added bonus.

Trevor January 2023

“Cottage well situated in a pretty but quiet village within a short distance of a friendly pub serving a nice choice of food.”

We had a great time and in better weather the terrace, loungers and bbq would be an excellent facility. The property is small but extremely comfortable and cosy. The only problem for us is there is a beautiful, fully glazed floor to ceiling end of the property which makes the cottage nice and light and gives and frames a nice view. People do, however, occasionally walk passed or park their car. This can be awkward as the property is small and maintaining modesty can be difficult. We would still use this property again as it is overall excellent and our criticism is meant to be helpful.

- Trevor, January 2023

Thank you for the feedback. The loungers and the BBQ will have been put away for the Winter to protect them from the colder weather. We will pass you comments on to the owner regarding the glazed wall. We hope to welcome you back again in the warmer weather to enjoy the terrace. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Eric December 2022

“We had a really wonderful week in this cottage.”

It was ideally situated, quiet and comfortable. The Ring O Bells is a lovely country pub, good food and friendly staff, really recommend a visit. The picture window gave us a feeling of being close to nature, especially the friendly pheasant and robin. The hosts were really helpful. The only issue we experienced was the lack of hot water for the final 24 hours although the hosts kindly offered the use of a shower in the main house. We highly recommend this property.

- Eric, December 2022

Deborah November 2022

“SO comfortable.”

Set in lovely grounds in a pretty and peaceful location but a stone's throw away from Bath for a complete change of pace! The trip to Bath made that much easier by the Park and Ride service a few minutes drive away. The cottage offers walks from the doorstep and is beautifully appointed, making for a warm welcome after a day out. The owner was so welcoming and friendly. The cake, flowers and milk that she provided were a thoughtful addition. I would highly recommend.

“A beautifully converted cottage with a fabulous view and delightful walk through the owners' land.”

It is small though very comfortable and you must be tidy as storage is limited. Lovely spacious terrace for good weather. Very friendly helpful owners. The only thing I would suggest (not a complaint) is that the tables were larger. We would love to visit again.

Kathryn October 2021

“Lucy and Simon are kind and friendly hosts.”

They could not have been more helpful. They have created a beautiful environment in which you can relax and enjoy a restful holiday. The cottage is delightful! The layout and decoration are superb. My mother is a 91 year old wheelchair user and the accommodation suited her perfectly. Lucy and Simon happily enabled the delivery of an oxygen concentrator and mobility equipment for my mother before we arrived, and its collection after we left. The view from the cottage is sublime and really lifts the spirits and soothes your soul. Lucy further fed our inner wellbeing with tasty cake, and apples fresh from the tree which we thoroughly enjoyed baked with sultanas also kindly provided by Lucy. Another fan of the apples is Dillon, the distinguished, dinky (miniature) donkey who will deign to spend a little time with you if suitably bribed! We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked another 2 weeks at Pheasant Cottage next year, the day after we returned home. Many, many thanks to Lucy and Simon for a wonderful time.

“What a delightful abode Pheasant Cottage is!”

The conversion design from a barn to a ‘modern’ cottage is ingenious in its use of space. The 2ft thick walls testify to its considerable age, but other than that it is all mod-con. The picture window gives a most pleasing and peaceful aspect to the grounds around. Lucy’s cherry-pie car with its mounted silver mascot corgi is quaint, as are the tiny ammonites displaying themselves in the flooring. Hosts Lucy and Simon could not have been more helpful, with great tips on places of interest. We are fans of the National Trust, but their cut-backs caused by Covid have proved most damaging. Tyntesfield House access is restricted to the ground floor only, with contents strewn around some rooms in quite a mess. What a pity. Hope they will recover, but their loss of staff also will prove a lasting problem we fear. Great Chalfield Manor is well worth a visit and is most intriguing, once one has navigated the adjacent extensive country lane roadworks to get there. Bath is still a real joy to visit, the Cathedral restoration works now having been virtually completed, and access via the Park and Ride very easy (and free if you have bus passes). All in all, a really lovely holiday, and highly recommended.

“A beautiful cottage that was a true home from home.”

Perfect for exploring the area around Bath (and the many places to visit) while feeling relaxed in the peaceful surroundings. Would highly recommend!

“Thank you so much for a lovely stay at Pheasant Cottage.”

A very relaxing week in a peaceful and idyllic place - perfect for celebrating our second wedding anniversary. The grounds of your home are beautiful and it was wonderful waking up and looking out at the lovely views and wildlife. Priston is such a lovely little village - we enjoyed a few drinks at the Ring O’Bells and had lovely food there a couple of times. There is so much to see and do around the area and we enjoyed our visits to Bath, Castle Combe, Lacock, Bradford-On-Avon, Wells and Bristol. We had a lovely meal at The Elder, Bath, and a fantastic steak at The Herd, Bath. A visit to Allington Farm Shop for some lunch, on our way to Lacock, was well worth it as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend. P.S. The lemon drizzle cake was fantastic - thank you.

“A fantastic property ideally suited for two people.”

Views are incredible and there is suberb walking from the front door. Simon and Lucy were marvellous hosts. The property is high spec and well equipped. An excellent experience all round!

“Pheasant Cottage was a lovely place to get away and chill.”

The grounds are just beautiful - with a babbling brook, foot bridge, apple trees and dear little donkeys - and the Cottage has a fabulous huge picture window looking out onto them. We enjoyed walking round the grounds and feeding the donkeys as much as we did our trips to Wells and Bath! The Cottage is small but fine for a couple seeking a relaxing break and thoughtfully designed - offering very comfortable accommodation with a good quality bed and pillows allowing an excellent night's sleep; and the facilities are also very good, including a washer dryer for clothes and a microwave. We would definitely recommend.

We were not expecting the amazing garden, land and views. Lucy and Simon made us feel really welcome. Thank you so much.

“From the minute we arrived we felt so relaxed and at home.”

Pheasant Cottage is beautifully appointed, so clean and very comfortable. We loved nothing more than to wake up early and sit on the patio with a coffee and just enjoy the peace and the views of the garden, which just goes on and on. Set in 18 beautiful acres, which we were free to explore, we really felt we were getting away from it all when we arrived. Coming from a busy town it was such a treat to hear nothing but birdsong and bees (and the occasional donkey!) and we switched off completely while we were there. We enjoyed walks in the countryside around the chocolate-box village of Priston and cosy evenings in the friendly village pub. The hosts Lucy and Simon were so warm and helpful and we had many a lovely chat with them. They advised of all the good places to eat and visit and we completely fell in love with rural Somerset (and Bath and Wells!) We can’t wait to return again one day and only wish we’d booked two weeks! Pheasant Cottage was the perfect antidote for the stress of the last 6 months. Thank you :)

“Pheasant Cottage was a totally comfortable and peaceful experience.”

The property has been imaginatively designed to provide everything necessary for a delightful break. The grounds in which the cottage is set are private and peaceful - inhabited by donkeys and occasionally visited by herons and deer as well as a whole host of butterflies and bees. The private patio outside the cottage is a gorgeous sun trap - just the place to loll about; and when we wanted shade, we had a relaxing swing in one of the hammocks in the garden. Simon and Lucy are welcoming hosts, but not intrusive; Lucy had left a delicious lemon drizzle cake for us, which saw us right through the length of our week’s stay. The place was spotless, the furnishings were beautiful, the bed was very comfortable and the cottage had all that we needed and more than we expected. Thank you so much!

“This is one of the best cottages for a couple we have ever stayed in.”

If you want peace and quiet with the option to go for long walks in the countryside, this is the place. Due to everything going on at the moment our activities were limited to walks through fields and self catering but this place was equipped perfectly for that. The bed was comfy. The bathroom well appointed and clean and the kitchen just right. The view when you open the bedroom doors is incredible thanks to the fully glass wall. When this whole mess is over we're definitely coming back! Our only minor nitpick and it is minor is the table and chairs might be more comfortable if they were lower as it wasn't great on our backs sitting up high on bar stools with a small back support. We can't wait to visit again.

- Dave, March 2020

What lovely comments, thank you so much! It is a really beautiful place for walks and we are glad you managed to discover some of these during your stay. Property Owner
Phil December 2019

“It is a very nice cottage but for 2 of us it was too small.”

The shower room was good but the bedroom is so small that it was hard to walk round the bed and there is no room for storage or clothes. The lounge/kitchen room is also small with insufficient room to store food. A dishwasher rather than a washing machine would be usefull especially as there is very limited kitchen workspace. The TV is quite old, small with very poor sound. A few more games would also help. Finally the large window has no blind so there is little privacy although it is unlikely anyone will be walking by. On the friday morning though there were 2 gardeners mowing and strimming grass outside the window - also quite loud. Although Priston is quite a nice village the pub is very disappointing, empty and is usually closed. This cottage is expensive for its size.

- Phil, December 2019

"We are very sorry you were unhappy with your stay. Pheasant Cottage has been specifically and carefully designed as a cozy country get-away with new appliances and state of the art underfloor heating, fine art on the walls, comfortable surroundings, etc. The huge window looks down a private valley which is part of our property and as you say no one walks past so blinds would be both impractical and unnecessary. As the Cottage is so popular our ground staff do have to maintain the property frequently, but always try to keep any disturbance to a minimum. We are sorry that you found the village pub disappointing. As you will have noticed from our Visitors Book previous guests find the food and atmosphere at the pub one of the highlights of their stay in the village. Pricing is competitive given the care and attention that goes into our property which is maintained and managed to a high standard." Lucy Barnes - Owner Property Owner

“Unfortunately there was a problem with the under floor heating.”

On the day of our departure we discovered that attempts had been made to fix the problem to no avail. Two fan heaters were provided which certainly took the chill off. Beautiful setting, lovely walks, friendly pub and close to Bath.

“The village of priston is so friendly and welcoming.”

You are actively encouraged to enjoy the village and walks if you wish to. The local pub has lovely food on offer and has a good atmosphere. Further afield Bath is full of shopping and culture this has allways been on my bucket list. Our accomadition Pheasant cottage was perfect. It has been renovated by the owners to a very high standard. I was sad when our week came to an end. The gardeners we met were lovely talking about the local area. A friend of the owners was also most welcoming.

Muriel August 2019

“What a beautiful little house Pheasant Cottage is.”

Cleanliness superb, quality of equipment and fittings excellent and setting beautiful. Priston is a lovely, friendly little village, there are some great walks in the area and the owners of the cottage encouraged us to enjoy their grounds freely. The park and ride into Bath is only a short car ride away and is the best way to go into Bath to see the many interesting places there. Wells is worth a visit, as is Frome. The local village pub in Priston, the Ring O'Bells is a friendly place, which provides good food. We definitely recommend a visit to Pheasant cottage but remember, it is meant for only a couple, so is small and cosy but not big on storage space, so pack only what you need.

- Muriel, August 2019
Kay August 2019

“The cottage was lovely, in beautiful grounds and spotlessly clean.”

The owners were very helpful and made us feel welcome. The only slight downfall was the huge big window at the front of the cottage we wished that there had have been some kind of blind that we could have closed of an evening and first thing in the morning when we got up, as there was gardeners and sometimes visitors to the owners house, we felt that we could not really relax and had no privacy, that being said everything else was really lovely. I was really happy with everything else through Sykes the booking process was easy and we have booked through you for a Christmas holiday. Thank you.

“Our first experience staying in a cottage , we booked for 5 nights stay at Pheasant Cottage , and were so happy with our choice.”

The cottage is situated in the pretty village of Priston , which although is remote , it is so peaceful and scenic . The cottage was beautiful, it had everything we needed for our short stay , places to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful gardens. The cottage was immaculate, with its picture window , we could just sit and enjoy the views .
