Janet
Steve was the perfect Host, friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Made me feel at home
David
No shops but didn’t really need them
Phoeby
The place was so deserted in the bush. Besides that, heating in my room was off by 22:00 and the room was cold and generally I didn’t like it at all feeling cold most of the night. Also the Idea of going downstairs to make a. Cup of tea I didn’t like it. I had to carry the remaining small milk in the bottle to my room. But the owner was. Informed about the milk.
Linda Maria
The room was in a good condition. I was warm & comfortable. The breakfast was really nice. It was cooked to perfection & the pot of tea was made exactly how I like it. The only issue that made me feel a little uncomfortable was that the member of staff on duty was courteous but didn't want to engage in any small talk at all, almost like I was being rushed so as she could finish her shift & go home. On the day that I was due to leave I had until 10.30am to vacate my room. I started to pack up all my belongings before breakfast at 8.30am & I had begun to put my luggage on the landing ready to carry down the stairs to my car . When I had started to load my car at 10am I thought that I had 30 minutes to make up my flask of tea in my room for my journey of 4 hours home & to use the bathroom again, but unfortunately the member of staff was in my room already after I had been to my car to pack up the 1st load of my luggage & she had stripped the bed already telling me that she thought that I had left!. I was shocked & replied that no I hadn't left yet & that I would have said goodbye!. I felt very uncomfortable & rushed by this & I was unable to make my flask for my long journey ahead etc. I was very disappointed that I couldn't carry out the plans that I had made for those 30 minutes. I felt very rushed indeed!.

Lovely, unique property. Cosy and warm. Great communication.
Leigh
Beautiful little cottage with all the comforts of home. Highly recommended.
Alison Victoria
No host on site. Difficult to contact (the direct dial via booking page does not work). Eventually after waiting in the rain for 20minutes was told the key was under the doormat & to let myself in. I was alone in the property until 8 am the next day.
Nicola
We checked in approx 6.45pm (en-route to dropping our daughter back at her uni digs in Bath & returned after) on a dark January evening. Seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, but we found it OK. Welcomed by Victoria - Steve (owner) was on holiday. Shown to our room & how we had access to the lounge & kitchen. Such a lovely house. Lots to look at. No TV in our room, so thought we’d watch the one downstairs - it wasn’t to be, though, as we couldn’t find the remote control - lol! Too late by then to bother Victoria. Never mind!
Comfy bed, plenty of ventilation (which we need, even in January!). No shower as such; a bath with a shower head, so me & my husband held the head for each other! Different, but not a problem. Breakfast tasty. Really looked after by Victoria in the morning, who ensured we had enough food & drink.
Would definitely recommend.

Countryside cottage
Stayed for one night while exploring the Bradford-on-Avon area, and it was absolutely lovely. The room was beautiful, featuring charming decor and authentic beams that truly captured the feel of a countryside cottage. Breakfast was excellent, offering a variety of choices, including cooked options, juice, fresh jam, and cereal. Highly recommend it!
Laura
Beautiful picturesque stay in classic country home
A beautifully remote stay in a picturesque location. Steve was a lovely host, and a pleasure to chat with at breakfast. The breakfast was delicious. We are both vegan, and Steve catered to our needs without problem.
Philip

Step back to a time to a world of curios and calm
A stay at April Cottage is a like stepping back to a time where everything’s real and comfortable and old-from the heavy oak beams to the inglenook and carved sofas, the family photographs and ornaments, the piano corner and the dining table beautifully laid for breakfast, with linen napkins and an array of traditional English breakfast choices. Steve was attentive and friendly -a wonderful host. My room was spacious and comfortable, with a great ensuite-unusual for a character property. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to everyone seeking an authentic taste of English life.
Carolyn
I was lucky & had the whole cottage to myself. It’s a very quaint 400 years old cottage in the beautiful & peaceful Wiltshire countryside. Very homely & comfortable. Steve was very welcoming & provided a delicious English breakfast. I highly recommend this stay & look forward to returning in the future. Great value!

Enchanting stay at April Cottage
We were enchanted by the warmth and comfort of this lovely cottage. We arrived on a very cold afternoon, and stepped into another world.
We were welcomed and shown to our room which was quaint and warm and inviting.
Our host gave us good advice on where to have an evening meal.
The bed was comfortable and the towels were large and fluffy.
Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented.
The cottage is situated in beautiful surroundings and we hope to return some day for a longer stay.

Lovely 16th century cottage that we had to ourselves as no host on site and no other guests. Surrounded by fields so lovely views, but access a little tricky down a single track road.
Accommodation was very comfortable with everything we needed and loads of character. Very comfortable bed and large en suite.
Delicious breakfast cooked by lovely Pat.
Overall, extremely good value for money. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway.

One nights stay to visit local attraction
This is a beautiful cottage, set in gorgeous countryside. Steve was an excellent host. The room was large and comfortable, the bathroom was also spacious and the water was very hot. The included breakfast was excellent, cooked breakfast made to order, all ingredients were very tasty and fresh from the local farm shop.
Darren
Beautiful property in a quiet area. Owner was very helpful and we had a great breakfast.
Erin
The property itself was very pretty and for the price we paid it was worth it. However, I found the place very unclean, the limescale on the kettles was very unpleasant and off putting. The shower needed an update and a good clean, it sprayed in every direction other than at you. We pulled on one of the curtains to close them and found several spiders that had clearly been there a while. I appreciate it’s an old building so the odd spider I would have let go but it should be a lot cleaner than it was.
The bed was comfortable and the house itself was very warm for the time of year, both me and the person I was with slept well. Plenty of towels were provided and lots of books if you wanted to read.
In cases of arriving in the dark I do think they should have written instructions on how to get there as it felt really dangerous driving down single track lanes not knowing at all where we were. As there’s a specific safe way to get there that is not made clear.

What a delightful gem, full of character, great location in the countryside, comfortable and a fabulous breakfast prepared by Pat who was lovely, will be back

Scary and lonely place
The only problem with this is that this is located in fields and was scared to death as no one at property and everything is self-service. Only stay if you are not scared of staying all alone in no man's land.

Breakfast was really good
Susan
The room was cosy, the bed was comfy and the shower was amazing. It was also nice and quiet as we were in the middle of nowhere!
However, we did have lots of cobwebs in our room and a rather large spider for company.
I wasn’t that impressed with the breakfast as no alternatives were offered but my boy did like it.
Didn’t find the hosts particularly friendly!
My car also got boxed in so struggled getting my car out!

The histiric cottage, views, breakfast and host Steve are all exceptional and we would have very happily stayed for longer if it fitted in our holiday plans.It is very a welcoming place and we were fortunate our trip coincided with some of his lovely family visiting him.
Note if considering booking you need to be able to use stairs.

An absolutely lovely old building and I loved the books collection in the lounge and our room. It was warm and cosy and the conservatory is a lovely place to sit and relax. Also the lounge a lovely place to sit with a cup of tea and watch a bit of TV. It's in a quiet peaceful location and the host made us welcome and cooked us a lovely breakfast. Al in all a wonderful stay and when we can save some money, we will be back !

Excellent value B&B in a character cottage
Excellent value in a comfortable, character-full cottage with a spacious bedroom, separate bathroom set in a remote location midst beautiful surroundings. A full English breakfast is included, together with cereal, juice, toast, tea/coffee as required. No evening meal is provided but pubs are a short drive away.
Francesca
Based on the photos and past reviews we had high expectations for this stay in Bradford -on Avon, but the experience went above and beyond what we imagined. The beautiful, historic and marvelous surroundings along with a home that had everything a guest could want- comfortable bed, hot strong shower and the most quiet we have experienced in years- maybe decades. And the town of Bradford-on- Avon is, in our opinion. better than Bath - just as historic without the tourism.
Heather
This is such a lovely place with a lovely host! He was very welcoming and helpful without being overbearing. The landscape around is amazing and it really feels like being transported back in time! Thank you so much for having us!
Luiz
It’s a 400 years old cottage, very well maintained. The house takes you to a trip of memories of the old ages. It’s possible to watch the sunrise through the bedroom window, the breakfast was incredible good and the host is a very nice man with a great sense of humor. It’s a bit noise in early morning due to the thin floors so we can hear everything from the room on the top floor but overall was a great experience. Thanks Steve!

This property was a very old beautiful stone cottage with gorgeous gardens. So charming. The proprietor was very kind and helpful. He cooked us a nice English breakfast in the morning. Unfortunately I think the property may be a little too much for him to handle as our sleeping room and bathroom were not very clean. There were cobwebs with spiders around the sink and in the overhead beams. I killed a small significant size bug when I got up in the night. There is no tv in the room and no shower-just a tub with a sprayer. It was fun looking at all the antiques but I wish everything didn’t seem so dusty.
Gary
We stayed for one night after seeing the summer solstice at the henge, Steve the boss was very friendly the cottage is situated in a very quiet area described by Steve as the middle of nowhere. Our room was equipped with all we needed and clean, full English breakfast in the morning was very good, all in all a very nice place to stay.
Gerald
This is a rural English residence. It is located a few miles outside Bradford on Avon. We enjoyed the english garden and the surrounding fields. Our host was most gracious. We enjoyed a delicious fresh breakfast. The taxi ride from the train was about 10 mins. Also good service.
David
Great getaway in a charming environment
We only had one night at April Cottage but wished we could have had more. The rooms are clean, tidy and supplied with tea, coffee, biscuits and a kettle. You also get the use of a kitchen and living room in this lovely house. In the morning you are served a delicious freshly cooked breakfast in the dining room. The owner is an enthusiastic amateur historian and the evidence is everywhere as you enjoy your breakfast. The surrounding country side provides lovely views and walks and is a short distance from the charming town of Bradford on Avon where there are lots of opportunities for lunch, dinner, cream teas and trinket shopping

Not great
The place was really tatty and could do with a deep clean. Cobwebs galore, and a filthy bathroom with hairs everywhere.
You can clearly hear guests in other rooms talking.
A ridiculous check in window of 5-7pm!!
Absolutely non compliant with any fire safety (regs from Oct 23 require smoke alarms, torches, blankets and fire doors in every room - we didn’t witness any anywhere apart from 1 very old battery alarm on the landing. This place is an accident waiting to happen. Beware.

A really beautiful quintessentially English cottage in an idyllic location. Very quiet. Steve is a great host. Breakfast - I had the full English - was perfectly cooked. I was there for three nights and loved it.

An excellent stay.
A beautiful, charming place away from the hustle and bustle, a home away from home. The room was impeccable, the bed was comfy and the shower worked perfectly. Steve and Pat served a yummy breakfast and my request to accommodate my 5 year old was provided for. Plus point that we got to say hello to Steve's two horses that are now happily retired. I'd absolutely recommend this place for anyone that loves the quiet countryside.

My wife and I spent two nights at the cottage and were very happy we chose this property. The owner greeted us upon arrival with a warm welcome before showing us to our room, which was neatly laid out. We were given the freedom of the house. After spending time in Bradford upon Avon and Bath, we enjoyed a late night drink in front of the fire both nights to unwind. Breakfast was freshly made to order, or there was a wide choice of cereals and yogurts.
The only niggle was the ongoing and regular sound from the bathroom that could be heard every minute or so for a few seconds. Sounds like a boiler or immersion heater activating before cutting out. This made it tricky to sleep on first night but no problem on the second.
I would highly recommend this property and we'll definitely go back if we want to stay in the area again.

Lovely peaceful break for family with five yr old
We had the best time at April Cottage. Such a lovely peaceful place, we only had one night there but feel very nourished and well rested. Steve was very friendly and helpful, and Pat made us a beautiful breakfast. Oat milk was sourced for us at the last minute and we were able to get a bit of toast for supper too. Our five year old loved the garden and there were lots of nature books for him to read and a big corn field to play about in. Cant think of a single thing that wasn't absolutely tip top. Even the bath was the best bath I've ever had. Maybe a little toy box would be nice for kids, but we didnt really need it.
Thanks so much, we'll be back xxx

A perfect home away from home
A lovely place to stay. I was visiting numerous places on Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset and this was a perfect central location to base myself from. A lovely breakfast prepared every morning fuelled me up for the day and the room was a beautiful cosy place to rest my head at night rounded off by beautiful views from the bedroom window. A wonderful place to stay at a fantastic price.
