Fishermen’s Retreat

4 Tucking Mill Cottages, Midford, BA2 7DB, Bath

Description

A veritable rural retreat, Fishermen’s Retreat is an award winning haven of calm where you can totally escape from the bustle of Bath and relax in the beautiful Midford Valley beside the Midford Brook.

Fishermen’s Retreat

One of a rank of 4 cottages built for the Somerset Coal Canal workers in the late 1800s and renovated today to  4 Star standard and has now been awarded a Gold Star for exceptional accommodation and welcome.

Sleeping facilities are on the first floor with a king size luxury 1400 pocket sprung bed in the master bedroom with crisp Egyptian cotton linen and a small overnight guest room.  There is also a sofabed in the sitting room. With the original fireplace and wood burning stove the sitting room is very welcoming and comfortable.    There is also a pine dining table for 4 in the window alcove so you can watch the birds feeding as you eat.  This is more like a home than a holiday cottage.

Just outside the front door there is a small private patio with table and chairs where you can pop out for a quick cup of coffee and admire the roses.

Fishermen’s Retreat has a south facing mature garden leading down to the Midford brook where there is a stone built barbecue on the brookside patio.  There is nothing more enjoyable than relaxing with a glass of wine while your cook is at work!  Wildlife abounds here with a variety of birds..kingfishers, warblers, heron, cormorants all frequent visitors, preying on the local trout.
