Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently mention the cottage being spotless, with high-quality bed linen and towels provided. The attention to cleanliness is frequently commended, indicating a very high standard maintained by the owner.

The cottage is celebrated for its great location, ideal for visiting Bath, Wells, and Glastonbury, with easy access to local shops and pubs. Its position in a peaceful village is also appreciated, although one review mentioned it being in a modern housing estate.

Comfort is a highlight in the reviews, with guests finding the cottage cosy, warm, and well-equipped. The beds are noted as very comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, there is a mention of minor maintenance issues and building works next door, which slightly impacts the score.

The owner's thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of a warm welcome, homemade cake, and helpful information provided. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.

About this property

Crooked Well is a historic, semi-detached stone cottage resting in the popular village of Timsbury, conveniently situated for access to Bath and Bristol. A charming two-bedroomed cottage in the very heart of the village, yet peaceful in a so-called ‘select’ cul-de-sac with its own parking area for two cars, it makes a wonderful choice for a couples' escape or a family retreat to the countryside. Originally built in the 1840s, the property now offers a homely base from which to spend quality time with your loved ones; enter into the dining room, conveniently situated so you can sit down and enjoy a warming cup of coffee after a day of exploring, before moving into the sitting room to retire for the evening. Flick on the freestanding, electric fire, which can be moved if an open fire is desired, and turn on the Smart TV for an evening of lighthearted entertainment; this room also boasts a sofa bed, perfect for those with limited mobility who don't want to tackle the stairs, with a convenient cloakroom being on this floor too.

    The village/town environment was very friendly and generally it was nice to enjoy politeness and smiling faces. The local amenities were just to our liking and we made good use of them. Everything was in walking distance.

    If you are unsteady on your feet you may find the stairs a bit of an issue but I wouldn't want to exaggerate the problem. The immediate area around the cottage is quiet and in the village there is a very agreeable pub, a handy Coop and a lovely cafe on 'The Square' which does lunches of near gourmet quality at a reasonable price. Bath and Bristol attractions are nearby and Park and Ride systems for each are easily available in the car. Here you can enjoy the delights of both city and countryside. We did both and had a thoroughly relaxing week.

  • Pamela

    It is situated within easy walking distance of the Timsbury village shops. The cottage is very well equipped . The owner has provided a wealth of helpful information as well as interesting family history concerning Crooked Well. High quality bedding and towels are provided as well as toiletries and kitchen cleaning products. Timsbury is within easy distance of Bath, Wells and the lovely Chew Magna Lake. The owner endeavoured to make our visit as welcoming as possible and even made us a delicious fruit cake. I highly recommend Crooked Well for a happy holiday.
