The decor was beautifully done, EVERYTHING was explained thoroughly- how to light the fire if you didn’t know, the Netflix log in, where things were etc. it was quiet, serene.
We didn’t cook but if you wanted to- there is oil, basic spices, salt pepper etc.
They even leave butter milk and bread for you. Honestly-
The thought, care and love that goes into this place is wonderful.
Everything was perfect. There were no complaints.

Wonderful location! Not far from lovely Bradford with supermarket, restaurants etc.
We went to Lacock but Bath super close too!
We used the on site dog field for our little sausage which was a bargain and she had a blast.
The place itself is roomy, comfortable, warm!
Nothing we didn’t like!

We recently stayed at The Old Pool House with our 2 dogs whilst visiting family in Bradford on Avon. The Old Pool House was perfect for our stay. It is in a quiet are on the estate so my dogs were relaxed and chilled. The accommodation has a perfect kitchen and the owners even left us a pint of milk in the fridge and a lovely loaf of bread. The fact that there are 2 dog fields on site that could be booked separately made our life so much easier…the dogs got to have a good run around before settling in.
We loved it, there was nothing to dislike!

High standard accommodation, privately situated in pleasant grounds. A real gem. We were reluctant to leave! Very well appointed with nice homely touches. Didn’t see the owners, but their instructions worked quite well. A lovely place 😊

The Old Pool House is a superbly equipped hideaway. Beautiful decor and furnishings with all the touches of elegance. The enclosed log fire is a real plus. You'll never want to leave. I've already booked my next stay!
Unfortunately I hit the icy cold snap from the arctic and the bathroom underfloor heating took a while to kick in. Once it did, it was very cosy.

This property was stunning in every way, it was luxury and full of so much character.
Myself and my friend had a two night break to catch up and we both enjoyed our time in this beautiful and very stylish house. We will definitely return. This is the jewel in the forrest with plenty of relax time.
If you are looking for a quiet few days away in luxury then book. Great value for money.
The owners had thought of everything and more, the property was complete with all the mod cons and had everything you would need for a few days away.
The bed was so comfy, the fire was amazing and it was great to also have air con! I loved the candle there so much i went and brought it. The bedding and cleanliness was exceptional.
Thank you so much for making our stay so lovely.
There wasn’t anything to not like at all

Location and venue - both of which were outstanding. The decor is very imaginative and the wood burner was a wonderful extra.
No information about the area in the studio we could find. The wifi was not as strong as we expected and caused problems when watching tv.

Liked the decor, quirky, lots of bits & bobs , which gave it character, which i love.
Loved the bed/ bedding , so comfortable, warm & cosy !
Location beautiful & peaceful.
The TV could be a little tricky to operate, no live TV, streaming channels for everything, which requires using personal log in details , abit of a faff !

This is a beautifully done studio ; everything is top notch from the bedding ,beautiful throws and toiletries to the kitchen equipment (and even the toilet rolls ..!!) loved the wood burner and the outside space . Very dog friendly ; they adored the excercise fields well worth booking ! Thanks for the beautiful fresh dahlias and groceries. Amanda couldn’t be nicer . We want to come back asap but especially in spring to see the arch in bloom !!
Nothing. Wish we’d stayed longer

Lovely location and clear signs to check in. The pool house is done beautifully with everything you need. Board games and the fire were a great touch and the extra dog box of goodies. You’ve thought of everything! Defo be back again :)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Old Pool House. The studio is stylish, beautifully decorated, and finished to the highest standard. We were welcomed with delicious fresh bread, which was such a lovely personal touch. The studio is incredibly private and peaceful, tucked to the side of the owner's property but completely secluded. We loved the cosy fireplace, the spacious shower, and the comfortable bed - everything about the stay was just perfect. The grounds and surroundings were stunning, adding to the overall charm and beauty of the property. Amanda, the owner, followed up to make sure everything was perfect, which made us feel so cared for. We were also thrilled that our two little dogs were warmly accommodated - a huge plus for us. It truly was one of the best stays we've had and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious, private and pet-friendly retreat. We've saved your number on our phones and will definitely be returning. Thanks for sharing your beautiful space with us.
Absolutely nothing.

The estate was beautiful and the pool house was quite private from the main house. We enjoyed having the beautiful and well-maintained grounds outside our door. I really appreciated walking into the pool house and seeing a large vase of fresh flowers on the counter. When we walked into the kitchen, we noticed a large loaf of fresh bread on the cutting board and small pink bag, contains a sweet gift. In the living area, there were numerous throws and two large wooden bins of kindling, firewood, and matches, if we chose to make a fire. Outside our door was a large wood table and chairs, holding another vase of freshly cut flowers. I regret not having taken the time to sit outside and breathe in the fresh air, but we wanted to see the many sites in the area. The kitchen was well equipped, even though we didn't cook anything there. It did have a nice coffee press and plenty of ground coffee. We loved being able to hear the birds instead of traffic.
There's nothing we didn't like. We spent three nights there and I wish it could've been longer.

The whole flat was decorated beautifully, really felt at home and didn’t want to leave!
It was all great!
5.0 / 10.0
The bathroom was spacious and large and the water had great temperature.
The bed whilst on the smaller side was very comfortable.
There was bread (out of date unfortunately), butter, cereal and milk provided.
The property was out of town and definitely not walking distance to any restaurants etc.
The parking is on site but quite a distance from the pool house across uneven ground which makes it difficult to wheel suitcases etc from the car, and not great when it’s raining.
The pool house has a lot of ‘stuff’ in it which makes it very cluttered.
There is only one comfortable seat in the house - a single armchair. The couch provided to sit to watch TV is like sitting on cement.
The curtains on the windows are extremely long and grotty and falling off the windows.
These are a trip hazard. There were many spiderwebs in the house and it was dusty.
The hosts didn’t engage at all other than a young boy directing us where to park.
The power points near the bed are behind furniture and hard to access.
These pool is empty and looks to have been for a long while.

Well presented with quality fittings throughout. It has abundant style but also charm that gives it a homely touch. Everything was spotless and Amanda was easy to communicate with but never intrusive. Nice touches with lovely fresh flowers and provisions to greet us.

Property was really nicely decorated and very comfortable, quiet and private. The kitchen was fully stocked with equipment and the host had left bread, butter and milk for us, as well as tea and coffee which was lovely! Bathroom was lovely and had very nice toiletries. The property was easy to find and the host came back straight away when I had a question about something.
I paid for 3 guests so was expecting the sofa bed to have been made up- especially for the price! But it wasn’t, so I had to make it up myself. All the linen was there ready to go.
There was some dog hair on our bed linen and I am really allergic to dogs! This would obviously not put off dog lovers though.
There was quite a bit of dog poo around the pool.

Really nice pool house in stunning grounds. Very close to the centre of Bradford-on-Avon, just a short 2 minute drive or a little walk. The pool house was just perfect for our overnight stay and would definitely come back for longer in the future. Perfect, many thanks.

The pool house had everything we needed for our stay
Very comfy bed
Excellent shower/ bathroom
Aircon unit was fabulous
Located 15 minutes walk from town
Very nice welcome pack, milk, fresh bread, butter, tea, coffee
We arrived earlier than expected & were told the PH wasn't quite ready, so we sat & waited a while, we decided to leave our luggage & go for lunch as it was very hot and we'd had a long journey
If the woman had said come back in 1/2 hour or given us some idea of when we could get in I wouldn't be writing this, yes we arrived earlier than the time we'd agreed, but a little more than 'not yet' would have been better
Although I've mentioned this, it wouldn't stop us staying here again as overall our stay wal lovely

The host had kindly left fresh bread, milk butter and plenty of tea fresh coffee and seasonings olive oil etc to cook with as well as a thank you for booking coaster! beautiful fresh cut flowers in the room! plus dog bed and dog treats, firewood for the winter..
A lot of thought had gone into ensuring there was everything we needed with great quality bedding bathroom and sofa and chairs even a newspaper and books to read. We loved it and it was a lovely private space with dog walking field close by so everyone was happy! A short drive to Bradford on Avon with lots of cafes and restaurants made for a perfect relaxing stay. Thank you :)

Property larger than we expected. High quality appliances, shower, fittings etc. Extremely dog friendly. The setting was incredible. King sized bed extremely comfortable. Amazing trees & bird song, woken by a song thrush every morning. Sturdy outside dining furniture. Left in peace, dog fields brilliant, fresh eggs available. Brilliant supply of logs & kindling so on our one cooler evening, we could enjoy the log burner. Such a relaxing & enjoyable stay for us. Recommend the nearby New Inn. Thank you Amanda & James
We missed the Wisteria arch being in bloom by a few weeks, the scent would have been incredible!

The space outside, just fantastic for the dogs.
We were lucky with the weather when we arrived. We took our recliner sun loungers and enjoyed relaxing in the sun.
The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed our stay and so did our dogs!
Just fabulous!

Attracively converted and decorated little studio flat. Situated within a few minutes drive of a small -ish Sainsbury's and the lovely town centre. In beautiful grounds, private and safe-feeling, great if you're on your own
Could have been a bit better equipped with some of the basics ( like kitchen scissors) and the bedsettee is not particularly comfortable to just sit on. Allthough all on one level there are steps down from the garden and car parking to where it is, a lip in the doorway to step over and a step up into the shower, so be aware if booking for anyone with a physical disability. I wasn't happy to discover no protectors on the pillows.

What a find! A gorgeous well appointed property which was perfect to show an American friend some quintessential England. We really hit the jackpot finding this one, and I would come back and stay again in a heartbeat.
Nothing, it was so magical!

Lovely quiet location. Very comfortable bed. Lovely decor and some great touches ( lovely soaps, breakfast food, logs )
Shame it didn’t have a hob (just one cooking ring). Sofa bed wasn’t that comfy but for one evening was fine

Beautiful location. Comfortable bed, Great T.V and WIFI. Personal touches- Fresh flowers, milk, bread etc. Had a Soho Farmhouse type style- Relaxed, stylish but homely. Loved everything about it. Perfect stay.
There was nothing that we could add to improve our stay.

A little gem in a beautiful and peaceful location just outside of the town. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make the place welcoming and homely including bread, butter, coffee and milk on arrival, beautiful flowers on the table, candles, books and much more. Loads of logs and kindling (we were warm enough without a fire). Cute kitchen with everything you need for a short stay. Super bathroom with great shower. And to see that the dog is most welcome was lovely with bowls, dog bed (a bit small for our boy), toys and a doggie biscuit jar provided. No extra charge for the dog which is such a rarity these days. Didn't have to make use of the dog field as we had busy days but I imagine this could be very useful. Wonderful stay and would definitely return if in the area.
We like a firm mattress and the one on the bed was quite soft but this is obviously just our preference and didn't prevent us from enjoying our stay.
