Perfectly equipped and a lovely location. The pub next door was really welcoming and we loved watching the boats. The bathroom, bedroom and storage areas are really generous and well equipped, but be prepared for a 'bijou' living area, basically a sofa in the kitchen. But a very comfy one!

Nice comfortable place with everything I needed. Very convenient for the canal and a twenty minute walk to the town centre. Bradford on Avon is very pretty - if you're lucky you might see some Morris Dancers!

Small but spot on for what we needed. Someone has already commented that it has everything you need and nothing you don't, and that's right. Very friendly and helpful owners, loads of parking, comfortable bed, good shower. Good base for walking and days out.

We spent Christmas here, we were met with a warm welcome from Andrew the owner as we arrived, there was bottle of fizz, minces pies ,and a Christmas card in our bungalow an unexpected surprise. I was concerned the place was going to be abit small going of the photos of the interior, but again surprised how much space we had and how lovely and warm Read moreit felt. Great place comfortable and with easy access to Bradford-on-Avons center and a bus stop just outside the entrance Full recommended Hide
