Pheasant Cottage

What a gorgeous place.

Everything we needed and all the details were done to a tee. The art on the walls was spectacular. Just a lovely place to be. Truly idyllic and romantic. Thanks so much, especially for the delish cake.

Really lovely cottage in a great location.

So peaceful, lovely pub just down the road and easy drives to many places of interest. Very comfy bed and lovely shower ,important after long walks in heat ! The only downside for us was the lack of privacy. The huge window was fantastic and gave lovely views across the beautiful grounds, but it did leave us feeling rather exposed. Forget jumping out of bed in your underwear to make a cup of tea and then admiring the view from the bedroom! Throughout our stay there were various people coming and going around the grounds, including builders, visitors and the owners. I’m sure nobody was paying much attention, but a simple lightweight voile curtain would have made a big difference and allowed guests to enjoy both the view and a little more privacy. The lovely little patio area was a great place to relax and we did have a great time , the owners were very friendly and helpful

Pheasant Cottage exceeded its expectations via the photos.

From the moment I arrived, to the last day Simon and Lucy were the most welcoming hosts (lemon drizzle cake on arrival). Throughout my stay, I would often talk with Simon about the upgrades to his property and the grounds which were magnificent (the view from the living room was so peaceful, especially watching the wildlife roam about) which I found interesting, (I even met their donkey and corgi). The property itself was clean/tidy and had more than enough facilities during my visit. It was the perfect base for my visit to Bath, and NT Property's dotted around the different counties. Overall, I had a lovely stay and would certainly recommend to others looking at a peaceful getaway.

Pheasant Cottage is just as it says - pheasants strutting about outside.

It is well equipped and beautifully furnished. Compact, but everything is there. The most heavenly view of the enormous grounds. Friendly, helpful and discreet owners.

Wonderful little cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location.

Lucy and Simon are the perfect hosts, Lucy had made us a delicious Victoria sponge which we thoroughly enjoyed. Inside is immaculate with everything we needed for a relaxing break and there was also outdoor furniture with barbecue, unfortunately even though we had sunshine it wasn’t warm enough for eating outside. We look forward to returning in warmer weather.

Small, beautiful and perfectly located for a relaxing get away from it all break.

What a lovely little cottage, We had a really nice week in our base for visiting Bath.

Stunning views across the meadows in full view from the glass frontage of the cottage, The owners Simon & Lucy are lovely, so pleasant to chat with and very informative about the Area, The village pub is a flat 10 minute walk away and serves good food.

Pheasant Cottage is a cleverly converted barn, small but okay for a short break.

Good facilities generally especially internet, but no phone reception. There is a great pub in the village, we enjoyed the Thai food on Tuesday, make sure to book. Although neat Bath, and with a convenient park and ride, Priston is approached by single track roads which make getting in and out tricky at times. Apart from a delicious lemon drizzle cake no sign of the owners.

We had a lovely stay at Pheasant Cottage and were made to feel very welcome upon arrival.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and exactly as described, with everything we needed. The grounds are amazing and it was lovely to walk up to the bench at the top of the field and survey the countryside - perfect location!

Lovely cottage located just outside Bath close to the park and ride.

There is a pub in the village with great food and a good selection of drinks. The cottage is a good size for a short stay with welcoming but unobtrusive hosts who provided good recommendations and a tasty lemon drizzle cake! The grounds are good to wander round and great for watching the local wildlife and there is a private terrace to enjoy outdoor meals and stargazing on a clear night. Would happily stay here again and highly recommend.

Fantastic friendly hosts.

Lovely walks in the grounds of the cottage and in the village Such a peaceful and relaxing place, but lots of places to visit nearby Just perfect

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.

A beautifully appointed cottage.

Everything a very high standard. It is not spacious but you can see that in the photos. Wonderful view from the enormous window and beautiful grounds which visitors have the run of. Welcoming and discreet owners. We have visited 3 times and plan to return,

Beautiful property in lovely surroundings, we were made very welcome by owners Lucy and Simon (and Dylan the donkey, though he was a bit shy).

A lovely cake and also ground coffee provided was very welcome too. Will definitely come again. Thank you !

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.

Phesant cottage was very outlook and owner very good knowledge area

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

. Pheasant cottage was well equipped and a lovely converted small barn conversion. The picture window made you feel part of the countryside. Parking was easy. Lovely pub and walks. The bed was very comfortable. Access to the park and ride a couple of miles away made visiting Bath easy.

A lovely cottage in a secluded area, lovely welcome, we appreciated the homemade cake upon arrival.

Information provided about the local village was appropriate and very useful. An excellent base for exploring that area of the country.

A lovely little cottage in a lovely little village.

Very peaceful and a nice area for walking with many attractions to visit nearby.A nice pub with good food a few minutes walk away and we actually had a local pheasant come and look at us through the large front window.

Pheasant Cottage is a comfortable, compact cottage,the bed is extremely comfortable and has all the facilities 2 people need for a holiday.

It has lovely views and is very quiet and secluded. We were there in January and it was very warm and cosy. I can recommend it

Pheasant Cottage is a delightful place to stay.

Beautiful accommodation in a pretty village. My hosts were kindness itself and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable.

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.

Owners were helpful and delightful and gave us a delicious cake on arrival unfortunately we couldn't eat it all as we were on a short break. Just one small thing we noticed was the picture window needed a clean but all in all a very pleasant stay. Thank you.

Fabulous stay at Pheasant 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. The Ring o Bells pub serves delicious food and only a short walk away. Visited the American Museum, Wells Cathedral and walked around the area. The parish church was open and has an interesting history. Highly recommended.

A truly delightful cottage to stay in.

Felt very welcome when we arrived. A very comfortable & restful place to stay. Views from the cottage were lovely. We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

Loved the floor to ceiling glass wall which was a tremendous asset, watching pheasants on the lawns.

The cottage is situated in a characterful, peaceful location - with a great pub in the village, just a short walk away. A particularly comfortable bed for a good nights sleep, and ample space for parking next to the accommodation.

An excellent stay in a beautiful location, cannot recommend highly enough.

A beautiful little cottage, very private and peaceful.

Fantastic opportunity to observe wildlife close up eg woodpeckers, a hare, pheasant. A lovely welcome with a freshly made cake waiting for us. We were very comfortable indoors but there was a lovely terrace for sitting out too. The local pub The Ring O’Bells was a 5minute walk and served excellent food. A brilliant place to visit.

A magical small but perfectly furnished and equipped holiday home.

Everything to the highest standard. Magnificent trees, sweeping grass and lovely planting. You have to be tidy and organised but you could spend the whole time looking at the view, rain or shine, and the stars on a clear night. Our second visit and we hope to come again, Welcoming and discreet owners.

Had a wonderful break in an amazing location.

Cottage was perfect, so peaceful and cosy. Only a short drive to Bath city centre via park and ride. Lovely village with an excellent pub with great food. Would highly recommend and will return when we can.

Lovely little cottage with everything we needed for a weekend break.

Beautiful garden with visits from pheasants, a partridge, a fox and a young deer. Bath is a great city to visit and Dyrham Park National Trust has some lovely walks.

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.

A very comfortable, well-designed and equipped cottage in a beautiful setting in a very friendly, pretty village.

The grounds provide a lovely walk and the whole environment feels tranquil. The host, Lucy is welcoming and provided a lemon drizzle cake to die for. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.

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!

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.

The cottage was quiet and secluded as advertised.

We enjoyed the peace , watching the pheasants pecking around. Lovely walks from the cottage too. The village pub was great and the food we had excellent.

A lovely property in a quiet location (though the village has the most wonderful pub, cozy, welcoming and serving great food).

We were made welcome and had a lovely few days.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pheasant Cottage, thank you - it was just what we needed in beautiful & quiet surroundings.

The cottage was very attractively presented & although quite small, this didn't detract from our experience at all. The floor to ceiling window gave a fabulous view of the grounds, including the stream & visiting pheasants! Thanks to Lucy for the delicious cake too. Jan & Will

Beautiful property which we would not hesitate to recommend.

Superb location with picturesque views from the cottage. Interesting towns, cities and National Trust properties within east reach. Lovely local walks. Friendly locals and delicious food at the pub just five minutes along the road.

A super cottage in a super location.

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. A great place to explore the area around Wells and Bath with walks straight from the cottage and a nice pub a short walk away.

We had a lovely stay.

Cottage was cute and cosy. Bedding /bed was nice and comfy. Shower room good. Underfloor heating . All the equipment for cooking in a neat kitchen. Lovely outlook watching the pheasants play. Lovely conversion of the stables into a welcome holiday venue. Situated in a pleasant village with a very welcoming pub that served a good meal . Thanks for a lovely stay xxx

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.

We had an an amazing time at the cottage waking up to pheasants and deer in the morning it was located on a private plot with 18 acres Lucy was very helpful with local advice etc, the local pub is very cosy and does great food.

Overall would highly recommend.

Lovely location within the owners grounds.

Great for wildlife, had a young Roe buck visit and lots of bird life. Cottage is cosy and warm and host is friendly and helpful.

Awesome place to stay very clean and cosy loads of places to visit and brilliant to see the wildlife

Peaceful rural location yet within easy reach of Bath - just a few minutes drive to the park and ride - and the wider area.

Cottage is small but well equipped to a high standard. The owner was friendly and welcoming. We very much enjoyed our week at Pheasant Cottage.

Fantastic holiday cottage in a lovely location.

It is really easy to get into Bath by Park & Ride, the village pub does really nice food Inc Asian food on Tuesdays and generally a great place to relax

Great place to be based to explore the area.

We'll equipped cottage. With great views and wildlife. Made to feel welcome by Lucy. Fully recommended for a stay. I will return if staying in that area again

Very comfortable Cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Perfect stay to get away and relax. Simon and Lucy are perfect hosts and willing to share tips on the surrounding area. Thank you.

A lovely long weekend at a very well appointed property in a great location!

Were allready missing waking up to that lovely view & sitting eating breakfast with the patio doors open lto the soundtrack to the sound of the stream running by & watchng the phesants & other wildlife go about their daily life. Great for a romantic getaway, walking in the country & an excellent base for visiting bath & the surrounding areas.........A little gem of a property! Perfect for three nightsnor so but more hanging space would be helpful for a stay longer tham this. Looking forwards to returning for another stay in the future & would definately recomend without hesitation Kindezt regards Simon & Suzamne

A lovely romantic bolt hole for couples.

Friendly and attentive owners, and the property is wonderful and only a short walk away from the village pub. Would highly recommend.

Very friendly and welcoming owners, lovely village pub.

An ideal property for two people and great location for exploring the area. The homemade cake was a nice welcome treat

We enjoyed a relaxing break at Pheasant Cottage.

Lucy the owner was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is immaculate with lovely views from the panoramic window across the beautiful grounds and garden.

Pheasant Cottage is perfectly situated for Wells, Bristol and Bath, hosted by Lucy who is more than welcoming and friendly at all times.

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. We would highly recommend the cottage to couples of all ages who want comfort in a perfect rural setting . The resident animals around the property became our extra friends for the week!

Good location for visiting Bath/Wells/Bristol.

Clean, Cosy and highly recommended

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.

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.

Fabulous

We’ve just had a lovely weekend at Pheasant Cottage.

The cottage was clean and super cosy. Lucy was incredibly helpful - delicious cake and she gave us some eggs too! Lovely day exploring Bath and a great welcome in the Ring O’Bells for drinks and we went back for the most amazing Sunday roast too. Lovely place to visit, high recommend x

Fantastic property with brilliant views from the huge glass windows down the garden.

Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area and very handy for visiting Bath, Bristol, Wells ect. 10/10

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.

Such a wonderful view from this beautiful cottage, everything was provided.

Perfect for a couple, beautiful bedding and lovely fluffy towels, and fantastic large powerful shower. A great base to explore from, close to Bath. Fantastic surroundings, great walks and a very welcoming village pub with excellent food. What more could you want. Excellent.

Quite simply the most amazing peaceful cottage.

Glorious grounds to walk in. Fabulous views out of the huge window, and the most hospitable hosts one could wish to have. The village is also a delight, everyone in the local pub so friendly. Perfectly situated for visits into Bath and the surrounding Somerset countryside

perfect for a relaxing vacation for 2 people.

The surroundings are so wonderfully green and well-kept that the eye and mind can immediately relax. The landlords are friendly beyond measure!

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.

We had a fantastic week, the owners Simon and Lucy are on hand and their sole interest is in making sure you are enjoying your stay.

The grounds are fantastic and they are happy for you to enjoy. Fab and friendly Ring O Bells, pub just up the road. Gorgeous loved it.

Everything was perfect and I had a lovely holiday.

Excellent accommodation, spotlessly clean, perfect location, quiet, beautiful views, and lovely hosts with a home made cake included.

One of the very best we have ever stayed in.

Whether sitting inside or on the lovely patio enjoying the view of the gardens, watching the varied wildlife come and go was a real h ighlight for us. The helpful owners and their hospitality were the best we have ever experienced.

Pheasant Cottage though small & compact has been designed with comfort in mind.

Warm & cosy. The owners Lucy & Simon are welcoming and friendly. The views are from the lounge’s full wall window are up there with the very best. Wide open spaces to lose yourselves in, relaxing patio is a sun trap and has all you need to rewind and recharge. Excellent.

Really cannot fault the accommodation nor the location.

The extensive grounds a hot spot for nature lovers with, many species of wildlife seen from the comfort of your settee. Ideal for those seeking a quite village location with plenty of country walk locations.

Ideal base for exploring the area also great for shopping as both bath and Bristol and many more smaller towns are all within easy distance, cottage very nice as were the owners Lucy and Simon, also very friendly was the local pub the ring of bells and very good food.

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!

Beautiful Cottage and comfortable.

Owners were very helpful.

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 loved our stay at Pheasant Cottage, all was as described but more.

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 :)

We had a lovely time at Pheasant Cottage.

It is in the perfect location and has everything you need. We especially loved feeding the donkeys! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful setting, excellent base for sightseeing and the local wee pub has great food.

Cottage is exquisite x

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.

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.

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.

Another Sykes find, Lovely clean well equipped cottage, quiet, pretty setting, but near Bath ,easy with nearby park and Ride.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent cottage in a great location.

The break offered relaxation and peace but was also within easy reach of all the facilities to make a special holiday.

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 .
