Jay & Jeff are lovely warm people and welcoming generous hosts. They have found a lovely balance between being inclusive & informative while still respecting guests' needs for space/privacy.
The twin room was small but worked for me and my mother - the beds are very comfortable! The house is in a nice neighborhood that is fairly quiet at night -- the only noises that woke me up were birds just after sunrise. The kitchen is lovely and has nice chairs & a sofa where jetlagged visitors or insomniacs can go read a book without disturbing their traveling companion and Jeff says a day room is coming soon. Jay is a real whiz and does an amazing job keeping up the rooms the household and maintaining a beautiful garden.
If you are athletic - you are only 2.75 mi walk/run from Bath University where the general public can swim in the 50m pool for only 3.25 pounds (it's an awesome pool). There's a bus line nearby and once you get your bearings - you will find it's no problem getting around but that traffic can be a bit of a bear in Bath.
If you love animals - there's even a nice elderly black & white cat who guards the driveway from the springy cushion of a mini-trampoline in the garden of a neighborhing house as well as dogs dogs dogs EVERYWHERE if you just step out onto the street you'll meet them.
Or you can go to the Cats& Dogs Home of Bath. I really liked the neighborhood and it's the kind of place I'd like to live -- access to Roman ruins in a cute town from a nearby village that is close to a 50m pool with cats and flowers everywhere? Can't go wrong can you?
I found Beech Cottage through AirBnb - https://www.airbnb.co.uk/users/show/3021434 - it's my first experience with the site and so far they are making me very happy!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
