Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I love that I can walk straight into town and have access to everything within 15-20 minutes. But I also am able to ‘escape’ and not live in the city centre. The bus stops right outside which takes you straight into town or up to the uni of bath. Equally having Oldfield park station on our doorstep is so convenient.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have always responded very quickly and effectively
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That there would be so many events - it has been such a good way to meet people

Quiet location close to Bath city centre

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lovely quiet location, even though it's on one of the main roads into Bath city centre. The development is within walking distance of the station and shopping area, but there are also regular buses into the centre and on to Bath's two universities. Secure parking places can be rented for an additional cost.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
These were usually resolved quickly, although we did have an ongoing minor issue with a heated towel rail!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything went pretty smoothly for us and I'd recommend Spring Wharf to anyone looking for a base in Bath.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Ideal location. Range of coffee shops, cafes, supermarkets and local shops nearby as well as being a quick, flat walk into town. Close to some lovely pubs and green spaces. 5 mins walk from oldfield park train station, and also on a number of bus routes which is really helpful.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Management are really friendly and approachable, we never have any issues raising anything with them and they have always been incredibly helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The staff here organise really great events for tenants such as summer parties, pub quiz nights and wine tasting etc. They are always doing lovely things like leaving bunches of lavender in reception for residents, or organising community dog walks.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The development is exceptionally well maintained and provides a safe and welcoming environment. The grounds are beautifully kept, communal areas are always tidy, and the overall standard of the property is excellent. The location is convenient, and the community has a friendly, peaceful atmosphere. I really love the events that the team host. Justin and the Reception staff are amazing! Parking can be a little tricky with no guest parking, but this is only a minor inconvenience. Overall, any small issues are addressed quickly and efficiently
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The maintenance man (didnt catch his name) deserves special recognition. Had a small issue moving in with some loose cabinets but it was dealt with super quick!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
No visitor parking can make it a little hard to have family around, but it is a very busy area.
