Holiday cottage accommodation in Rowde, Wiltshire

Accommodation details

Set in an enviable position with direct access to the towpath of the Kennet and Avon canal, this idyllic barn conversion is a great base for families and groups of friends. Marvel at Caen Hill Locks (1 mile) or head into the centre of Devizes (2 miles) to pick up essential supplies and explore the medieval history of this bustling market town.

Within 14 miles is ever-popular Bath, a delightful city where you can visit the Roman Baths and other historic attractions, as well as the many restaurants, pubs, and high street shops. The charming village of Box is also within easy reach, plus Bradford-on-Avon, Chippenham, and Lacock (all within 14 miles), which is home to a historic abbey and picture-postcard streets often used as a filming location. Adjacent to the owner’s home and attached to a similar property, privacy is assured in this carefully converted, character barn.

Once inside, you'll be met by a striking, open-plan living space, complete with a crackling wood burner and Smart TV, all you need for a relax movie night together. When stomachs start to rumble, move through to the ground-floor kitchen/diner; a spacious room filled with natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and garden doors.

Here, find all you need in the vibrant and large kitchen space to whip up holiday feasts for the group, who can gather at the long, wooden dining table that looks out to the peaceful garden and surrounding countryside. When day turns to night, find the first bedroom on the ground floor; a welcoming twin room served by a well-appointed, en-suite shower room.

The remaining bedrooms are upstairs, past the mezzanine-style landing. Here, find a sumptuous super-king-size bedroom set under the eaves, with an impressive window framing views of the surrounding countryside and canal. Another cosy twin bedroom completes the interior, both with ensuite bathrooms, with a bath and WC. Large French doors lead from the kitchen/diner onto a private, open terrace with uninterrupted views across the lawn to the countryside and canal.

Gather here for memorable, al fresco evening meals or quiet morning coffees ahead of a day of adventure.
