About the home

This lovely cottage sits on a quiet road, overlooking the Kennet and Avon canal, yet is within easy walking distance of the pretty town centre of Bradford on Avon. There are many lovely walks or cycle paths from your doorstep. Take a boat trip along the canal or just wander through the old town and visit the interesting local shops. There is also a large park close by with tennis courts and childrens play areas.
We have retained many original features in the property, including fireplaces, wooden panelling and quarry tiled kitchen, but the cottage had a modern feel.
We provide attractive linen and fresh towels, with good quality crockery and all the cooking equipment you would need. You have a private parking space next to the cottage and a pretty patio garden with BBQ for those warm summer evenings and you will be spoilt for choice when deciding where to eat, with so many pubs and restaurants to walk to.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
We take great care of this lovely cottage - all the rooms are well furnished and equipped, and we personally clean and prepare it for our guests, to make sure it is up to our high standard.

On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms and a spotless bathroom, with powerful shower. The twin room has an original cast iron fireplace, wooden panelling and views over the canal and town. The double bedroom is on the second floor and has original beams and far reaching views. The quarry tiled kitchen/diner is cosy and well equipped, and the sitting room has leather sofas and a brazier style gas fire for extra warmth.
You will find the location of this little cottage hard to beat.

Further details outdoors:
We have a private, walled patio garden with hardwood furniture and BBQ. Although it is a small area, it is a lovely place to sit for your breakfast in the morning, or on warm summer evenings. A parasol is provided for the table.
There is a private parking space next to the cottage - once your car is parked, you may not need to use it again!

“Fantastic Cottage - Ideal Location” We stayed at Lockview Cottage in August 2011. Inside the cottage is lovely with everything you need for a perfect holiday. The cottage is in a great location very close to the canal, with plenty of places to eat and drink close by. Bradford on Avon is a lovely town, the valley through to Bath is gorgeous, and canoeing/cycling etc. all close by. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning - thoroughly recommended.
