About the home

This beautiful fully renovated & modernised 19th Century stone cottage is packed with interesting features and English charm. The large kitchen with range cooker, dishwasher & fridge/freezer, leads into an open dining area with an expanding table seating up to 10. There is a downstairs cloakroom and two sitting rooms, one with a feature fireplace with wood burning stove to compliment the gas central heating. The wooden curving stairs will take you up to split levels above with a total of 4 bedrooms (3 double/twin, 1 single) plus an extra open plan area/room with an extra single bed, set over the two upper floors with a bathroom and a shower room too. One of the double rooms is accessed via the twin room. We are always happy to discuss flexible sleeping options for larger groups.

The garden is to the front and side of the property, with the luxury of 2 off road parking spaces and is mostly patio with stone steps taking you up onto the decking and roof top terrace area with excellent views of the canal lock opposite. With such a wide selection of local and regional activities, you'll be spoilt for choice whatever time of year you visit.

“5* accommodation at a realistic price!” Lock Quay Cottage in Bradford on Avon is 5* accommodation for 9 adults with excellent living and dining/cooking space. Nine members of my family stayed at the cottage for week in August in preparation for our daughter's wedding in West Lavington with the reception held at The Barn at Wick Farm. It is excellently placed at the side of the Kennet and Avon canal and close to the very charming town centre. Lots of places to visit in the area and plenty of coffee shops and tea rooms to visit after a day sightseeing. Parking is limited but with 5 cars, we managed to park 3 outside and offroad at the cottage and sufficient space locally to park the other two. Excellent welcome pack awaited us with all the essentials before having to visit the local Sainsburys, just a 5 minute walk away!! Would definitely recommend a visit to this cottage - the bedroom in the roof space is like a sanctuary away from the rest of your group!!
