Kennet and Avon Canal: soggiorni in alloggi al lago

Truly wonderful stay - my parents and daughter travelled from Australia to spend Christmas with me and we decided to go to the Cotswolds (along with my dog). I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Tracey’s home had everything we needed, set amongst a beautiful, tranquil surrounding nestled on the lake. Picturesque views and relaxing surroundings. The house itself is beautifully presented - lots of lovely little touches and thoughtful additions. It was so easy to get around from the house to all different parts of the Cotswolds - perfect place to come back to after a days worth of outings. Nice hot shower and comfy couch and amenities. Restaurants and pubs close by within an easy four to six minute drive - dogs welcome! Thank you for a wonderful stay. It truly made our Christmas.

Absolutely loved our few days away! Can’t believe we didn’t know about this place before… so much to do for an active family. Great house with everything we needed (so helpful to have little things like sugar/washing up liquid etc so we didn’t have to bring everything with us!). Will definitely return!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The house was really lovely and well equipped for 3 families all staying together. The Estate was lovely and the facilities great, although you meed to remember to book things like the Spa we'll in advance and the pool and pizza. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had a wonderful time. The place is lovely and much nicer and bigger than the photos in my opinion. The host was really responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a trip with friends or family. Kitchen has more than enough glasses/pots/pans etc which was really helpful when cooking a meal for 6. Lovely space and I will be back :-)

We had a wonderful time here and would love to come again! The house is very clean, comfortable and incredibly well stocked with everything you could need from life jackets to a picnic rug to board games to a slow cooker! We loved using the free swimming pool everyday and had fun exploring on the kayaks and having BBQs in the evening sun on the terrace. The beds were incredibly comfy too. Highly recommend!!

Really lovely stay. Beautiful views across the lake. Spacious property and well planned and stocked! Would absolutely go back.

Lovely stay at Jim's! Had a slight issue with heating but Jim was quick to respond and sort it out. Clean house with good wifi. Would stay again if we visit the area!

Excellent accommodation - felt great to be there ! Di was pro-active in advising about the fishing pass, which enabled John to fish in the lake and catch 2 trout- wonderful for him ! The rest of party really enjoyed the house - real quality and great feel good factor. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Also, fab environment with lots to do. Wonderful walk along the canal towpath and back by Lake 6 and then on Easter Sunday a tasty and friendly cooked breakfast at the Gateway Cafe. All our expectations exceeded !!

Excellent location to visit The Cotswolds. Accommodation was great value for money, very modern and nicely furnished, spacious, clean and tidy with special extras - chocolates, biscuits, and dog treats and towels for muddy paws! Terry and Elaine are excellent hosts and very accommodating and welcoming - even allowing our dog access to the garden area. Definitely recommend and will also be returning. Thank you so much for a lovely Easter break.

Ich habe mit meiner Tochter eine Woche im kleinen Annex gewohnt. Es war super gemütlich, alles war sauber und die Wohnung -klein aber fein- hatte alles was wir benötigen. Rachel war sehr freundlich und hat uns gute Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben. Wir hatten direkt nach unserer Ankunft ein Problem mit dem Mietwagen, dank Rachel’s Unterstützung konnte dies sehr schnell geklärt werden und wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub. Viele Ausflugsziele sind von hier aus gut erreichbar, allerdings ist es wichtig ein Auto zu haben.

Very well appointed flat, very clean, very helpful hosts, great location in a great city. Would definitely stay here again!

Brilliant peaceful location exactly as described. The accommodation had everything needed for my stay. Holly was a brilliant host. Always available and very kind and friendly.

Could’ve asked for a better location - as it’s a city centre spot everything was walkable which is exactly what we wanted. If you’re after peace and quiet, this is not the place for you. Spotlessly clean, friendly host, comfy bed, with all amenities you would expect. Highly recommend!

Two years after our last stay in Binsey, we were very happy to return for another week. It was a very nice welcome, we had lovely conversations with Alison and Steve. Binsey is unique, quite, excellent if you need time to write or read. Rent a bike for journeys to Jerchio, the city center, colleges or the University hospital. We can highly recommend this place and hope to return in the near future.

Jane was an excellent host and responded to my enquiries before booking and whilst we were there. The apartment is bright and airy with a perfect balcony where you can watch the sun go down whilst listening to the birds. The spa on site is great, outdoor pool is a little fresh! You need to book a slot in advance in busy periods but Jane will send you all the details you need. We had a really relaxing stay and would stay again.

Geoffrey's place was a beautiful apartment with stunning views, especially the sunset. amazing to relax at the end of the day on the balcony. Top tier! Geoffrey was great and super helpful. He left breakfast and everything we could possibly need to cook and make ourselves at home. Would 100% recommend and if the time came would definitely stay again. Thanks heaps!

We had a wonderful stay at Aston House in the beautiful Lower Mill Estate. We were a group of 8 adults, 2 children, and a dog, and the house fitted us all comfortably with plenty of space to relax and unwind after busy days exploring. The living areas were perfect for chilling out and watching TV together. The location was ideal too – just a 30-minute walk along the Thames Path to The White Hart, which was a great bonus. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions throughout. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely stay for a few days at Jacqueline's place. Very well equipped with everything you could want - it was great having filter coffee, tea, bread, milk and a cake waiting for us on arrival. Our three year olds loved running around in the garden playing with the toy car and slide that had kindly been left out for us. Really large lovely kitchen and the whole house was deceptively spacious. Jacqueline was also a great communicator, letting us know when the place was ready on the morning of our arrival. Thanks for having us!!!

Janey was the perfect host. We arrived a little early and she very flexibly let us check-in, despite having to prepare everything herself as her cleaner was not available. We also arrived a little unprepared and on a Sunday but Janey had left all the essentials we needed to tide us over including a delicious homemade cake, croissants for breakfast the following morning, milk, butter and eggs. The setting is lovely overlooking a very large pond with a lot of visiting geese and ducks. There are little boats and life jackets for children. This is an ideal spot for a family holiday with the fossil beach at Kerridge Bay only an hour away by car and a number of lovely walks on Iron Age hill forts very close by, as well as lovely villages and National Trust properties. We would highly recommend Janey's property for a relaxing, comfortable and homely holiday. I am sure we will be back.

Great place to stay, with a couple of cute pubs nearby (make sure to check out New Inn). Quite walkable, with a playground nearby and the lake about 20 minutes walk away

From the moment we booked Anna was friendly and helpful, with a lovely welcome on arrival. The barn is extremely peaceful and in an idyllic setting. Well-furnished and with some extra touches that were greatly appreciated. Wells was a very short drive away, and Glastonbury and the surrounding area no more than 15 minutes. We would definitely look to return and will also recommend to family and friends looking for a bit of peace and quiet.

Great place to stay, we took day trips to Salisbury, Cheltenham and Bath. All were within easy reach. Such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Homely & well-equipped. Note that to use the indoor pool you have to ring them or walk over at 10:30 in the morning to book a 1 hour slot for the next day. Would definitely recommend staying here. We are looking forward to coming back.

The place was cozy and clean, just as described. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay for the full duration due to a change in plans, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Frances was always available and responsive to any questions. Highly recommended!

Jason was the perfect host. Great communication and the house was just great with all the touches of making sure our stay was as perfect as possible. It’s such a great base for being able to enjoy the surroundings. Our kids had the best time being able to use the estates facilities all as part of our stay at the cottage. Would definitely recommend.
