This three floor stone cottage is charming, and located in one of the nicest parts of Bath. The delightful high street (deli, coffee shop, etc) and access to canal walks and the Skyline walk were my favourite things about the outside. In the cottage, the dining kitchen is lovely, the enclosed patio garden very convenient, the living room comfortable (though note the TV is quite old and isn’t really a SmartTV though you can get Netflix), and the superking bed really cosy. We had a great stay. I was staying in a cottage managed by the same company immediately before and they were very helpful in moving me without a gap - and even driving my luggage to the new property!

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the lovely cottage. The location is in an excellent suburb with easy and quick walking access to the city centre (5-7 minutes). The local amenities (co-op, deli', and pubs) had everything you'd really need on your door-step. We would recommend the White Hart which is just at the end of the road. The welcome pack was a very thoughtful and nice touch - thank you Laine for arranging this. All amenities/utensils you would need are available in the cottage. The parking space was a great bonus (we never used the car during our stay as everything in Bath is within walking distance). Regards Bath itself we would recommend the Sky Line walk (approx. 6 miles) for great views of the city. The Roman Baths were very interesting and took a couple of hours to get around. Overall we had a very positive experience and if we ever stay in Bath again we would certainly look to re-book this property.”

We stayed at this cute cottage for our mini staycation. The location is great. Very easy to walk into the centre. If you are arriving by car, be warned that the car parking is very tight. Narrow lanes and a difficult space to manoeuvre into. The train station is very close so I would recommend using it. The cottage is very quaint and has lots of period touches. I would stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ralph Allen Cottage. The rooms were very clean and nicely furnished. The courtyard garden was pleasant as well.
Widcombe is an area with interesting shops and pubs. It is like a village, although in the town. The white Hart pub and the Ring o’ Bells are both good for atmosphere and food. The deli take out food was excellent.
I was a bit worried about the spiral stairs as we are both “getting on a bit now”, but we were fine with them. The stair rope is really good.
We both know Bath really well as it is my home town and still one of my favourite cities.

We loved our stay in this stunning cottage. Perfect location, very clean and comfortable. We were sad to leave and wish we could have stayed longer! The management company were also exceptionally helpful and the check in process was very easy. We also felt safe given the current pandemic.

Charming, well-appointed 3 storey cottage with private paved patio garden, providing all home comforts including welcome for a Maine Coon cat also needing a change of scene after lock-down. Spacious enough to host a grown son and partner for a couple of nights, as well. Delivered with superb and caring customer service, set in the heart of Widcombe across the street from an artisanal gin distillery, down the road from an exceptional garden centre and farm shop, and around the corner from excellent restaurants and friendly pub.

This is a fabulous base for exploring Bath and the local area. the cottage is beautifully done-up and arranged, with thoughtful provision of everything from crockery to outside seating. All the furniture etc is high quality and comfortable. The access to the city is outstanding; the parking space is very convenient, though we were grateful not to have brought a larger car. Strongly recommended: we would book again with no hesitation.

Nicely renovated cottage, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Parking space handy but access might be a bit tight for a big car

“Great location, only 5 minutes walk from the station & town but quiet at night. Comfortable clean house, perfect for relaxing in. The stairs may be a little tricky if you have any mobility/balance issues but it was fine for us. Friendly welcome when we got there & they provide a really useful binder of local restaurant recommendations (& a few treats for our first night!). Had a great weekend.”

Even though the cottage is on a road, you don’t hear traffic noise... perfect place to stay.”

We very much enjoyed our visit to Bath and our time at the delightful Ralph Allen Cottage. We experienced two extremes of weather, cold and wet and unusually hot! The cottage coped admirably with both extremes and was well equipped. We found all the rooms attractive and comfortable, ideally suited for a relaxing stay.
We were particularly taken by the surrounding area and the delightful Widcombe High street , with interesting shops, pubs and food shops, not to mention the Farm Shop a short distance up Prior Park Road. We felt we enjoyed the best position in Bath. We were away from the crowds which gather near the Abbey and Baths, yet any of the famous sites and museums were only a few minutes away, over the footbridge, or a by a slightly longer stroll along the River Avon path.
We would have no hesitation in singing the praises of Ralph Allen Cottage to anyone planning a visit, provided they were prepared to do a bit of walking and exploring. We discovered several local buses and even visited Wells on the double-decker bus.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Bath. This is a second time we have used bath holiday rentals and once again have not been disappointed in anyway.
Ralph Allen cottage is a very well appointed clean and comfortable home from home with everything you could need for an enjoyable relaxing break.
The excellent location within easy walking distance of the city centre and delightful local shops just a few steps away. The canal with its locks and lovely walks is just around the corner.
I am sure we will be back to this beautiful city and will definitely be using bath holiday rentals for our stay.

“Wonderful cottage, loved the complimentary milk, wine, etc. sparkling clean, great location, quick walk to Bath, canal side. Weather perfect for enjoying the outdoor garden area. Spiral staircase may be a bit steep for young children and elderly or for someone with physical challenges. Would recommend to family & friends and would definitely stay again. Rachel Massachusetts”

“A charming old cottage, very comfortable and cosy with all amenities. Circular staircase needs care, when navigating! I particularly liked having 2 entrances, one directly onto the street. Staff in the office very helpful and accommodating.”
