“A beautiful stay at The Old Workshop. Such lovely surroundings just a short drive from Bath. It was great to experience the city of Bath but then coming back to a peaceful accommodation that felt just like home! It was spotless but super homely and would highly recommend. Alison was super helpful and friendly right from booking to us checking out. Will definitely be staying here when next visiting the area! Thank you.”
