Kennet and Avon Canal: soggiorni in cottage

Had a brilliant stay for my partners 30th birthday! The cottage was really cute and cosy and the hot tub was brilliant too. Really comfortable bed and a 20 minute walk away from 'The Shears Inn' pub which is great for a drink and we also had a lovely dinner here. Lorraine (the host) was very responsive via messages and was prepared to go the extra mile for us at all times.

Simply stunning, the pictures don't do it justice. the locations & views were awesome. The property is very well laid out, well equipped and the quirky decor suits the propert perfectly. The outside space is so well thought out go get the most of the views. The real star of this place to me was the hot tub, just sitting in there and admiring the views - just perfect

A beautiful well appointed cottage, lovely and clean with comfortable beds. The hot tub in the well kept private garden was a bonus. Poppy was responsive to questions and queries and had left some lovely personal touches to make check nice and smooth. Bath is just a short drive and there are lots of local pubs for a lovely meal out. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful. We would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful stay, such a beautiful house in such a beautiful village! Everything was lovely., super comfortable and clean. Tori and Jack were great hosts and we would love to come back one day!

Had a wonderful relaxing stay at Carley’s house. Close to a main road but quick access into nature with lovely creek trails that we used for walks and runs. Really cosy feel inside with a nice living space to spend time and very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Outside there are plenty of options with multiple sitting areas if the weather is right and the spa was perfect at the end of each day to unwind even if a little tight for 4 adults. Carley was very communicative, we didn’t have any issues but I’m sure they would be solved quickly if there were any!

A really lovely location, very private and peaceful. There were so many nice local walks and a lovely Jacuzzi to sink into afterwards! The cottage was really cozy and very warm. Meng was really kind and generous with advice and was always ready to offer recommendations and encouraged us to ask if we needed anything. An amazing host, an amazing cottage and an amazing weekend getaway!

Jamie and Dan were brilliant hosts. We were welcomed with the key in the door ready for arrival with a bottle of Prosecco and a bottle of milk for a cup of tea! The cottage was beautifully presented - perfect for a couples retreat. The cottage is very tucked away however, Jamie’s instructions were spot on so made it very easy to find. Dan messaged us to check that we had everything that we wanted and to just let them know if we needed anything. We based ourselves here and went to and from Gloucester and Cheltenham. A lush weekend and would highly recommend!

We had a fab stay, thank you! Hot tub first thing in the morning next to a field of donkeys and ponies catching the morning light - what more could you want?? We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. Family of 4. Kids aged 7 & 9. The outdoor sandpit & play equipment would be more suited to younger kiddies but our two still enjoyed them & they were just happy with the jacuzzi really. The owners were very welcoming and informative. Gave some good recommendations… Esme’s tea rooms in Brockenhurst was one of them. Yum! Best scotch eggs and cake selection ever! Would have given 5 stars, but the decor could do with a little refresh & kitchen equipment was a bit of a mish mash. Bring your own salt and pepper, sugar and tea, too. Hand soap and washing up liquid was provided.

Perfect little find for our trip to the Cotswolds! The cottage was lovely, very well laid out, nicely designed interior finishings and felt very homely. The host Amanda, couldn’t do enough to assist during our stay. She was very friendly. We would happily visit this place again. Thanks for having us! Chris & Stella

We had such a wonderful stay, so much so we didn’t want to leave. Hilary was such a welcoming host and the cottage was so beautiful. Our whole family loved the cottage and we definitely want to come back. There’s so much to do in the area too. There’s lots of toys at the cottage for kids, including bath toys and a really cute outdoor kids dining table. Once the kids were in bed it was also so lovely and cosy for the adults. The pianos were also a great touch, we loved playing them and teaching the kids how to play. We would recommend the stay to everyone.

We loved the cottage ,so clean and comfortable and the garden/stream /swing and animals were a real hit with the children. We were made to feel very welcome -homemade cake ,lovely coffee ,bread and eggs ,such a nice touch with Easter eggs for the kids . Thank you Tracey and Dave .

Firstly thank you Paul & Sarah for your directions. If you put the cottage post code in to your sat nav it will have you carrying out a U turn on the A31 so please note the directions given. The cottage is in a lovely location and was cosy, well furnished, well equipped and clean. The garden was lovely and great for our dogs but small dogs can squeeze through gaps in the fence (Paul is aware and is planning to block off any escape routes). There were fresh tulips and shortbread to greet us, which was a lovely touch, as well as lovely toiletries. Paul & Sarah were responsive to any queries or needs we had. There are lovely walks through the forest right on your doorstep. There is an outdoor hose for washing muddy footwear and paws. There are outside lights but the torch inside the cottage came in handy. We would happily recommend the cottage for a relaxing break.

From entering the tree lined driveway to arriving and seeing the view from the property, we were delighted with our choice. The interior didn't disappoint - very welcoming, well laid out and clean. The kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms clean and plenty of hot water for showering. Very peaceful location. Our host was very quick to answer any queries. Great to find some laminated maps/instructions for walks in the immediate area.

A beautiful location to stay for my daughter's wedding celebrations.

The bungalow is clean, comfortable and provided all that we needed for a short Easter break. The living area was equipped with all the basics, as well as with free Wi-fi and Netflix, although no other channels were available. The tv was small (32"), especially when seated on the sofa or armchair. During our three night stay, the local Forest School and Oakraven Centre had children attending courses, so there was something of a mini 'Rush hour' in the morning and evening. It was not a problem but required wariness for walkers and opposing traffic in a single track road. The woodland walks locally are good and plentiful, Lorraine providing good guidelines to other attractions and trails. A beautiful area.

Amazing stay at Wydean for our first anniversary! Lovely walks nearby and fantastic hosts who were always on hand if needed. Would definitely stay again :)

A beautiful remote location with views of Severn Estuary. The cottage had everything we needed and was very homely. We hope to be back soon!

An oasis of peace and tranquility. Judy’s house was tucked away behind a gate and accessed via a secluded courtyard, perfect for a morning cuppa or sundowner. We had a very relaxing stay, communication with Judy was prompt and helpful. We were able to park in the nearby disused pub which is a short walk away along the country lane.

Beautiful cosy cottage within walking distance of all that Cirencester had to offer. We loved our stay. We met Rupert and Olive the Cockapoo in their garden, they gave us a great welcome and shared tips on places to walk and restaurants to visit. Thank you :)

I loved everything about Little Pippins - the space, the calming decor and the location. Everything that was provided had been well thought through. Richard and Kelly were also exemplary hosts in every respect. My stay was one of my best Airbnb experiences. Caroline

We absolutely loved our stay here. Hazel wrote to us and gave clear instructions for arrival as well as coming to say hi once we got there. The accommodation was lovely and cosy. The amount of space to walk around in the forest was excellent even if we weren’t brave enough to do the flying fox. The Dutch hot tub was excellent once we got it hot and we spent a lovely evening listening to the sound of the forest. Highly recommend (my 4yr old loved all the books as well)

Had a lovely two night stay here! so quiet, cosy and peaceful ☺️ Pamela was very helpful and friendly too. Would highly recommend for a relaxing weekend away!

A beautiful cottage, bath with a view and lovely hot tub in private garden. Provides everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Beautiful location, so peaceful. The barn with pool table and gym was a great addition. Responsive host too, a really lovely welcome when we arrived.

We had a wonderful 4 day stay at The Bothy. Beautiful surroundings and the cottage’s was cosy and well equipped. We enjoyed the woodburner. Alicia and Christopher responded quickly and helpfully and gave us a lovely warm welcome. Their home made bread and marmalade were a lovely treat. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable with excellent WiFi. The TV is not so good with poor reception but there are plenty of DVDs.
