Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kennet and Avon Canal

The property was perfect, the pictures are lovely and they reflect the quality. The property once there is outstanding and very peaceful. It’s one of those hidden Gem AirBnBs, we loved the stay and will hopefully return.

the only improvement i would recommend is to have a air conditioning unit. the temperature didn't go below 25oc in the lodge.

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at The Stables. It was just as beautiful as the photos suggested and a perfect location for visiting Bath. It was a simple hop onto a bus at the end of the drive and be in the city centre within 15 mins. The quality of the furnishings in The Stables were clear to see & made our stay that much more luxe to help celebrate my 40th birthday. We had great weather and took full advantage of the hot tub to relax after a long day exploring Bath. We had a couple of queries for Nancy during our stay and Nancy was very quick to respond in a very polite & helpful manner. Thanks for a lovely stay Nancy!

We had a lovely stay, beautiful surroundings and an excellent hot tub! Would recommend to anyone looking for a walking getaway!

Great location in the middle of Castle Combe, to stay in a property with so much history was fascinating. The house was clean, everything worked, beds are very comfortable. Marlit replied promptly to our questions making everything very easy. We had a great stay.

I cannot fault this home! We all kept commenting on how lovely it was during our stay! It was a lovely location for visiting Paulton's Park (the main reason for our visit to this part of the world) and we also went to Stourhead which was beautiful, but the house made family time so easy and enjoyable. In the lead-up to arriving, I contacted Victoria quite a few times with some questions and she couldn't have been more accomodating of my baby brain! Thank you! we've already recommended it to friends! x

I took my partner away for the night for his birthday (Paddington) the dog came to which having Jeremy’s place dog friendly was added bonus! The hut had Eveything you needed for a night away! Very private with the feel like u were in the middle of nowhere! Was lovely watching the Deer and rabbits in the field in the morning. Couldn’t recommend enough! Will defo be back soon!

This is our second trip here and it certainly wont be the last! We had the most amazing stay. The setting is perfect, the accommodation is perfect and the hosts are perfect! We even had 2 little dog friend's throughout our stay. Thank you so much and see you next time!

This place is really beautiful. It was clean, comfortable, plenty of space for one/two people, and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The garden area is beautiful. This place is like its own little nook and I felt very secure and safe here. I really appreciated the extra amenities — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, feminine toiletries, cotton pads, makeup remover, lotion, milk, cereals, jam, butter, etc. It really is the most perfect place to stay in Bradford on Avon. It’s only a short walk into town and Marsha & David provide tons of information about the town and surrounding area in a big binder. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Hope Cottage is amazing. The location is wonderful, the house itself has everything you need and makes you feel like you're staying in a proper British cottage. Sarah is an amazing host: she answered any questions I had very quickly and was just in general very kind. One thing to note: the house isn't built for tall people. I'm 181 cm tall (about 5'11) and I had to bend down a bit whilst going through doorways or using the shower. It didn't really bother me, but it's just something to be aware of. Whether you want a quiet retreat or a homebase to explore the area, this is an amazing place to do so!

I was sad to leave! Lucinda’s place is fabulous - I felt right at home. Everything about her place exuded peace and comfort. Easy access to wonderful restaurants and darling shops. Lovely to just walk around Tetbury as well as easy access to Kemble train station where my colleague and I took day trips to Oxford and Bath. The bathroom was spotless and I took a bath every night in that wonderful tub. I wasn’t traveling with children, but Lucinda’s place is set up for children - books, high chair, toys - all lovely. I hope to go back!

Lyn and David are the most wonderful hosts! David build the home from the ground up and it is very beautiful! We loved how homely it felt, comfortable beds, views that are out of this world and a really peaceful place to be! We can’t thank you both enough for allowing us to share your slice of Mendip Hills beauty!! Lyn left some homemade scones which were to die for! We have to revisit as we didn’t explore all the amazing walks and Wells in more detail , and would not think twice to stay again. PS there is a beautiful little shepherds hut nearby with the same amazing views also built by David (Lyn said because he was bored!) Hopefully David remains bored, we look forward to his next amazing space/s. We highly recommend you visit!

Lovely cottage, big bonus is electric car charging and dog friendly. Comfy beds, real fire place and good board games. We had a lovely time

For us it was a great place for our stay. Hosts were quick to respond to any questions. And the home met our needs in full. Fully equipped with good quality things. Thank you James and Sean for everything. Patricia

We had a gorgeous weekend at Colindale Cottage to attend a nearby wedding and couldn't have been more delighted with our stay. Karin and Viv our hosts were friendly and welcoming and we immediately felt relaxed in their beautiful home and garden. Karin has thought of everything and there is not a thing we'd change. We slept SO well and woke to the sound of birdsong in the peaceful garden. We were very grateful for breakfast items thoughtfully and generously provided and can't recommend this property highly enough!

Thank you for a lovely stay. It was very relaxing and the accomodation was perfect. We went to the Potting shed and the Trouble house as recommended and both were great. Many thanks again

Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

We spent 6 days at Rob’s place with our 3 children. The weather was not our friend but the onsite swimming pool meant we still had a fabulous time. The hot tub was a great addition to the property. The cottage had plenty of room for us all & the spa facilities were fantastic. Great location as well, we had a lovely morning wandering around Cirencester. Rob was super helpful. We used 2 of the recommended places to eat & both were fantastic options. Lovely stay!

We've just returned from another wonderful stay at this property in Long Sutton. As returning guests, we were delighted to find it just as perfect as we remembered. The location is stunning, offering peace and tranquility, and the property itself is immaculate. This time, we particularly enjoyed the pool and sauna – a real treat! We can't wait to return. Many thanks to George and Gill for the amazing hospitality.

Absolutely beautiful—both the house and the surroundings! To stay in such a remarkable, comfortable, clean and beautiful, old place right in the heart of the cotswolds—it was truly lovely. So peaceful and quiet! Rachel was a kind and helpful host right next door. Make sure you pay good attention to her directions to get there—it was a little tricky. Also, the ceilings in the bathroom, living room and dining room really are only about 6 feet, with doorways and other things even shorter. We’re tall and we still loved it but it’s definitely something to keep in mind. The kitchen and bedrooms were all much taller. We’d love to return one day and stay again!!! Thanks you!

Rosalind was a very friendly and communicative host. She offered a range of breakfasts and recommended some lovely local walks. The property was in a fab location with lots of nice walks/pubs nearby.

The magical barn ✨ We had a wonderful stay at the Gate Barn. The location is simply beautiful - within the grounds of a gorgeous home. The barn was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The kids loved their bedroom and slept so well - enhanced by exploring the grounds and expenditure energy on the trampoline and swing. Sadly the pool was being cleaned (maybe check availability) but regardless we had a wonderful stay. The Wilde Story did lovely pizzas and The Mitre pub is having an amazing garden renovation. We will definitely be back ❤️

Lovely spot in friar woods , we did a bit of touring around the sites and even managed an evening in bath with a 20min walk to the train station - Jenny and Richard were both very acclimating and made our weekend lovely with ideas and just a lovely feeling, would love to come back and see more of the local walks etc

What a fantastic stay we had at Kate’s place. She was an incredible host, nothing was too much trouble for her. The pictures really don’t show how gorgeous it truly is & it’s so much larger than the pictures show. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back in the future xx
