Welcome to Barge Cottage
Barge cottage is a self catering holiday cottage situated in an enviable spot fronting the Kennet & Avon canal at Bathampton. Only 2 miles east of the Centre of the World Heritage City of Bath, it is an ideal base from which to explore Bath, the Cotswolds and surrounding area.
This one bedroom, late Georgian former canal-workers' cottage is a perfect retreat for couples wishing to enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating cottage holiday. There is gas central heating throughout, the cost of which is included in the tariff, as is electricity, bedding (bed made-up) and towels/tea towels, basic cleaning materials, plus a small amount of tea, coffee and laundry products to get you started.
The cottage has a strict ‘No Smoking’ policy, and is available throughout the year (minimum stay three nights). Sorry, no pets.
There is no vehicular access to the cottage but free car parking is available in the village car park adjacent to the George pub (approx 150 yds).
Barge cottage was built in 1835 and has many character features associated with a property of this age - some of the walls and floors slope, the ceilings and doorways are slightly low in places, and the stairs a little steep.
Whilst the property has been recently re-decorated throughout, these original features have been retained as not only is the property Grade 2 listed, they are also what makes the cottage so special.
