Home description
Combining luxury and character, Kemble Cottage is special - it is stylishly presented and provides superior accommodation for 2 - 4 people (2 ADULTS PLUS UP T0 2 CHILDREN - WE DO NOT LET TO 2 COUPLES) and all our guests fall in love with it. Set in a quiet lane but within two minutes walk of the delightful and picturesque town of Bradford on Avon with its selection of independent shops and boutiques. There is an indoor swimiming pool in the town. A car isn't essential as you can walk from the station which links you to Bath and London. With so much to see and do in the locality, Kemble Cottage really is your home away from home........
When it was two separate cottages, Lord Carey of Clifton (formerly the Archbishop of Canterbury) lived in the right hand cottage as a boy, with his mother and three siblings when the family was evacuated to Bradford on Avon during the war.
Many guests comment on the high standards within the cottage and also the great location - Bradford on Avon may not be as well known as nearby Bath but it is a most charming place favoured by residents of Bath who like to visit the unusual upmarket shops, fabulous selection of eateries (from Thai to Tapas) and walk along the charming street and discover river and canal walks.
Set over two floors with two upstairs bedrooms (master has king size four poster), both with views over the town; bathroom with bath and shower, kitchen with washer dryer, cooker, microwave; sitting room with dining table, colour TV and DVD, (plus loan of a good selection of DVDs) games and cards. Freshly laundered White Company bed linens and soft towels provided within the rental cost. The cottage is thoroughly swept, cleaned and polished between lets. We can provide highchair and travel cot and bedding on request, at no extra charge.

The West Country / Somerset region
Being so close to Bath, this is going to be your main point of interest but this area has so much to see! Longleat, The Cotswolds, Avebury, Stonehenge and the maritime history of Bristol are all within easy driving distance. London is 90 minutes from Bath, by train.
Somerset is a county rich in farmland and produce - Cheddar cheese is one famous natural product and Wells Cathedral is famous for brass rubbings and the swans who feed at the ringing of a bell. Wookey Hole Caves nearby and Cheddar Gorge are both naturally formed places of interest and the Outlet Village at Street is perfect for a shopping trip for bargain hunters.
Wiltshire has many charming towns, Corsham, Castle Combe, Lacock (a National Trust Village) and Biddestone which all boast the local Cotswold architecture. The Kennet and Avon Canal, which passes through Bradford on Avon, gives the opportunity of many interesting walks and the River Avon provides boat trips.
Bath / Bradford on Avon area
The Museum of Costume, 1 Royal Crescent, The American Museum, The Roman Baths, The Pump Room are all popular attractions as well as the wealth of Georgian architecture including the famous crescents and The Circus.
Bradford on Avon boasts 17 pubs and restaurants and the town is often referred to as a miniature Bath as it is set on hills and is built of honey coloured stone. From great pub food to a locally favoured Thai restaurant, most tastes are catered for. It is a delightful town which still has market day every week. The Bridge Tearooms have a reputation for transporting guests to a bygone era and serve wonderful old fashioned cakes, teabreads and crumpets with pots of real leaf tea and tea strainer! It is one of the last bastions of the independent shop keeper with a wide selection of shops, boutiques and antiques shops.

Further details indoors: Originally two cottages, Kemble Cottage was possibly built for the weavers of the town of Bradford on Avon. It makes a perfect base from which to explore the Georgian City of Bath with the Roman Baths and newly opened Thermae Spa as well as numerous museums and places of interest.
Kemble Cottage has beamed ceilings in every room and is furnished and equipped to an exceptionally high standard. Your comfort is very important to us and cleanliness is one of the areas we pay particular attention to.
Whether you are planning a family holiday or a romantic break, Kemble Cottage will provide the location and perfect accommodation to suit your needs. With the train station within walking distance, you can even leave the car behind for a day out. We offer you the warmest welcome and would like you to return.
The accommodation is in 2 bedrooms and the cottage is suitable for up to four people. The master bedroom is very spacious with a lofty beamed ceiling and has a kingsize four poster bed - a stunning room. Bedroom 2 is limited in space and therefore has bunkbeds (full size with quality mattresses) but this room is really only suitable for one person or two children.
There is unlimited on street parking and you can usually park right outside the cottage. All in all, very well located.
