Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kennet and Avon Canal

What can I say…the house was just perfect for our stay. Beautifully appointed, clean and luxurious. What a treat to have a coffee in the sunshine in the mornings, overlooking the lake. Cotswold Water Park Retreats were amazing. Very easy to book paddle boards in advance, great communication and the hot tub was checked at least twice while we were there. It’s like everything was thought of. It made it so easy for me and my family to focus on spending time together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone and I would love to come back.

We booked The Stables for a couple of nights, including for it to be used as the bridal getting ready space on the morning of our recent wedding, as it is only 10 mins from Priston Mill. It was absolutely perfect and Nancy went above and beyond to help make it work for us including making space on the drive of the main house to allow wedding suppliers to park. The space was light and bright and surrounded by a gorgeous garden and it felt really private and peaceful. It was very well equipped with everything you’d need and actually seemed a larger space in person than in the pictures! Special thanks go to Nancy for making it extra special for our wedding and including some lovely bubbly in the fridge which was a really thoughtful touch.

It was so quiet and peaceful, felt so relaxed and comfortable, hope to come back again

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.

Amazing stay! The hut was exactly like the photos and just as described The thoughtful touches Prosecco milk cake hot chocolate and chocolate were lovely and really made us feel at home The hut was well appointed and everything had been well thought through and we did not want for anything The fact the washing up was done for you again added to the experience! The hot tub and view were beautiful and we were so lucky with the weather we made full use of the outdoor space Great recommendations on walks and places to eat! Thank you for a fantastic stay and being an amazing host- you went above and beyond!

We had a lovely stay at Victoria’s! The house was spotless and had everything we needed including baby things (travel cot, high chair and stair gate). The garden was completely enclosed which meant we were able to let the dogs off their leads while we sat outside. And wow the garden is a real sun trap! I would recommend the Barford Inn (4 min) walk for good pub grub and a nice outdoor area. We also spent the afternoon in the grounds of Wilton House which has a fantastic playground for toddlers and kids and a lovely cafe. Three nights wasn’t long enough so we’re hoping to come back in the near future!

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!

Beautiful piece of tranquility. Carol’s place is situated close to everywhere you would want to visit in the area. The cottage is cosy with a lovely log burner and very comfortable bed, we were even given a lovely chocolate cake on arrival! Beautiful cottage, beautiful gardens, couldn’t have asked for more. Carol was a wonderful host, thanks for everything.

We had a lovely time. Love the location. Perfect for walkers. Inside was light and airy. Bed was very comfortable. The animals were happy and friendly and the area has lots of wildlife. We enjoyed going for walks and visiting Hungerfords Elaine's for lunch. Look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful location, very helpful host! Very understanding when we checked out late because the baby needed to be fed!

I had a wonderful stay at this property during my trip to Bath! The location was absolutely amazing—super convenient with quick and easy routes straight into the city, which made exploring Bath so simple. One of the standout features was the parking: it was easily accessible and there was always space available, which took a lot of stress out of the trip. The house itself was spotless and very well maintained. It felt comfortable and welcoming from the moment I stepped in—a perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. Overall, it was a great experience and I truly hope to stay here again on my next visit to Bath. Highly recommended and thank you for having us!

Absolutely beautiful accommodation and a beautiful garden! Everything was spotlessly clean and there was more provided than I expected. Lucy is a fantastic host! I highly recommend this lovely place in a picturesque part of the country.

We had a lovely time at Arch Cottage. The house is in a great location, full of character, and with a lovely garden. Will couldn't have been more helpful, and quick ro respond. We were celebrating joint birthdays and it made it extra special being in such a lovely house. Thank you Will.

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

We had a wonderful six days at Pat’s lovely property. Pat and Tony were great hosts, they made us very welcome. The area is very peaceful with lovely walks for us and our dog. We would certainly recommend the Wagon House as a really nice base to explore this lovely location . Regards Tony and Pippa

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 had the most amazing stay at Upton Borne Lodge for my best mates Hen. Nothing was too much trouble for the host and they came with so many recommendations of activities & food from the local area. The house was spotless and just as described with flexible options for sleeping arrangements. The hot tub, pools, sauna were perfect additions. We didn’t leave all weekend as we had everything we needed! Gill & George were so helpful with everything and it’s well worth the price!

Beautiful peaceful spot in the Cotswold countryside. The cottage is spacious and well equipped with great walks straight from the door. The pool was such a fantastic asset and really added to our holiday.

Calm place and well maintained, we enjoyed the stay.

We are all family of four, we really enjoyed our stay, the cottage is just as described both in the pictures and the listing details. the surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, the perfect get away! Rachel was very responsive and helpful. We all had a wonderful time and hope 5o be back soon!

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.

We (family of 4) went looking for a peaceful, tranquil setting to enjoy some family time together and that’s exactly what we found. A beautiful setting, simple yet satisfying accommodation, access to a lovely swimming pool and a good pub within walking distance ticked every box. Fiona was a fantastic host, and we cannot thank her enough for opening up her home and letting our little family enjoy it! We will be coming back
