Both Rachel and James were so hospitable, after a mix up by myself they were able to accommodate me and my dog. The room was high quality and a great location to walk or get the bus into Bath.

Despite receiving confirmation from Rainbow Wood Farm, and also emailing and once again confirming our booking with them directly, myself and my family arrived to be told they had no record of our booking and that no rooms were available to us. We had travelled from North West England to stay here and are unfamiliar with the area and had no idea what to do next. Who we spoke to then said he didn't know of the bookings fully as his wife was away who would usually handle this and seemed rather uncertain of how to help us further. We all began to find other places to stay locally for our 2 night visit. He offered to book us an Air BnB but under his name, but only showed us photos on his phone and, as we were unfamiliar with the area, turned this down. The Air BnB was also unsuitable for our needs and what we required. We instead asked for a refund as we found a local Travel Lodge with availability. We received an email asking for bank details to issue a refund, which we replied to promptly. We did not receive our refund until the next day after prompting them to issue it, which after finding and paying for alternative accommodation we felt should have been issued immediately and we should not have had to prompt them for this. We were then also offered a free nights stay but this had to be used within the next 6 months. Unfortunately we will not be booking again with Rainbow Wood as this was highly disappointing to our trip to Bath.

The room was reasonably nice, but small. Although we arrived at 3.30 we saw neither hide nor hair of the owners, and the key was left in an envelope hanging outside the door.  …

I have recently stayed here with my partner and baby, the hosts were very accommodating. They were happy for our 5 month old baby to come and stay, they came in and cleaned the room for us in the day which was really nice of them. They leave shampoo, body wash, a kettle, Nespresso machine, towels and everything you could want.This was our first holiday since having a baby, were very worried about what people would think, the hosts here were very welcoming and honestly made our holiday perfect. Thank you.
