About this property

Cosy romantic stay in historic Cotswold cottage

Relax in a cosy newly renovated Cotswold cottage on the edge of Bath. The Old Fire Station is a self-contained holiday cottage in the historic and picturesque village of Colerne.
Situated in the old village, Cotswold walks and hiking paths are on the doorstep leading to Castle Combe, Bath and beyond; two local pubs and a cafe and metres away.
The award-winning Lucknam Park spa and its new Walled Garden Restaurant are within walking distance if you fancy a treat. The village has a Post Office, Newsagent, General Food Store and two local pubs.
The unique coach house style cottage, built around 1740, was once the village fire station, and provides garage parking or on street parking outside the property, which is a rare find for the village.

Clean and comfy

This is the cleanest property I have stayed at. Great view from the bedroom. Owner was very nice and communicative. He left biscuits and a bottle of wine for us! A great property to stay at if you’re passing thru the Cotswolds and/or headed to Bath.

Highly recommend this accommodation in Colerne. Such a delightful and picturesque village in the Cotswolds, close to Bath and Castle Combe. Beautiful walks in and around Colerne. Fantastic property with attention to detail and thoughtful inclusions. A wonderful home to come back to after a day exploring the Cotswolds. Clean and comfortable home. Garage great to have, but can be a challenge to drive into. You will love your stay here as we did.

Lovely short stay!

Check-in was super easy with a key safe outside the door. The place was clean, comfortable, and had all necessities. The kitchen was well equipped (we didn’t really use it but had everything needed for a longer stay) plus an added touch of milk, wine, and chocolates! Colerne is a lovely village, there was a small shop a 2 minute walk away which was handy.

Little Gem

Lovely property wonderfully located for everything we wanted to do in our two day break.The property was very clean and modern, cosy and warm. Everything we needed was provided (except, strangely we couldn't find a chopping board). The bed was really comfy and we slept well. The only reason I gave the accuracy of online listing a 4 is that there is no mention I can see online that the bathroom is downstairs. As it happened, it wasn't an issue for us but might be for some less mobile.Ian was very helpful. We had an issue accessing the key box on arrival and he appeared a minute later to help. I also managed to leave a necklace there which he immediately retuned by post.Would recommend for a short stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Dean

Host profile image
We've lived in Colerne for 13 years, and have been planning the renovation of the Old Fire Station ever since we moved here from Bath. I work on an art and design website, and previously worked in magazine journalism.
Julie creates designer quilts and memory quilts for clients globally. We love village life, the walks and runs around the Colerne area, as well as travelling to find new and unique places.

Why they chose this property

We moved from London to be closer to family, and lived in Bath for a while before deciding to move to the quieter village life. We love how friendly Colerne is, the pubs are fantastic and the food at Lucknam Park is wonderful (as a treat).
The areas's walks are fantastic and we often ramble to Castle Combe, Ford for lunch and into Bath for a longer hike.

What makes this property unique

This coach house style cottage would originally store the village's horse-drawn fire cart and would be taken to the well at the bottom of Watergates to fill up. At some point in the last 200-plus years the Old Fire Station at Colerne, ironically, caught fire and for years was left unused. When we bought it the building was in poor condition, it didn't even have a floor or stairs.

We worked with local builders expert in restoring old Bath and Cotswold buildings. We began by rebuilding the internal walls, staircase, and top floor. The curves of the unique roof remain intact, as do some of the quirks that come with an old cottage, including large but low windows and uneven walls.

It took almost a year to rebuild the cottage and we love it, and we think our guests will too!
