Country Cottages Near Bath

About Us

We’re just 5 miles from the World Heritage City of Bath and 2 miles from the picturesque market town of Bradford on Avon. Our cottages are surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty filled with Cotswold stone walls and country lanes, perfect for walking and cycling. Our location provides our guests with a wealth of attractions, even on a rainy day!

The Bowles family farm

The farm has several hundred sheep (and lambs in the spring!), 2 llamas, a horse called Corky and a mad chocolate labrador named Millie. We farm sheep for Hartley Farm shop and have arable land on the farm. The Bowles family have been farming in Winsley for over 200 years and in the area since the late 1400's. Great Grandfather Bowles also used to own the Village Pub. Winsley is a wonderful place to live and the ideal place to stay when visiting the South West.

The cottages

Our seven tastefully furnished single-storey cottages have been converted from old cow byres. Comfortable and cosy, they’re themed for the countryside, and are ideal for couples, business breaks and for groups of family and friends.

• Indoor Heated Swimming Pool (12 metres x 5 metres and heated to a minimum of 30 degrees centigrade)
• Games Room with table tennis, table football, a pool table, books and garden and board games
• Walled Garden area (all enclosed)
• Laundry Room with two washing machines and two tumble driers
• Wi-Fi internet access in all cottages

Excellent local shop, pub and farm shop/cafe

We have a large village co-operative shop/newsagent/off licence, Hartley Farm shop/cafe and The Seven Stars pub all under 500 metres.

Cream teas aren’t just for Devon

You will be greeted with a warm welcome and a locally-produced cream tea on your arrival. Uncle Geoff provides the clotted cream from his Jersey herd in Beckington at Ivy House Farm.
