Review of Spring Wharf - a great place to live

Sarah (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Spring Wharf, BA2

Oct 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Really good location to live in. A short walking distance of a large supermarket and a lovely walking route that connects to green spaces. Bus stops are in close proximity to the development with frequent buses into the city centre. It is very easy to get to shops, restaurants, pubs and bars. There is a multi-purpose arts venue next door that do events which is great for the local and wider community.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Promptly. Communicating clearly with me and updating me at all times.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

That there would be a lot of building work happening nearby.

A great place to stay - but please remove the scaffolding on The Mill

Sept 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Very central location. Right next to Bristol Road which has many lovely bars such as the nowhere bar and the Royal Oak. The streets of Bath are very clean and living next to a main road allows for easy access if you have a car.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management have responded to the majority of questions queries and concerns, however I have not received a satisfactory response as to why the scaffolding is still up.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Defiantly participate in all of the events organised by Spring Wharf. It’s a great way to get to know your neighbours
