This delightful cottage is an ideal base for those wishing to explore the Wiltshire and Cotswolds areas. Located in the tranquil village of Rode, within 0.5 miles to two local pubs and opposite the village school.  Rode is 8 miles from Bath and 5.5 miles North of the very trendy and Bohemian town of Frome popular with shoppers, and art lovers.  Bradford on Avon (5 miles) is a lovely place to amble around the cobbled streets and enjoy some tasty eateries.  Enjoy memorable days out at Longleat Safari park (8 miles S) Walled Garden at Mells (8 miles SW) and Farleigh Hungerford Castle (3 miles N). More relaxed days can be spent enjoying leisurely walk along the River Frome (0.5 miles N).

Open the stable front door into the inviting living room tastefully decorated with comfort and style in mind. This is a great space to unwind from the business of life, read a book, enjoy watching a movie or simply cuddle up in front of the fire and discuss the day's adventures. The kitchen/dining room has a lovely rustic feel with quirky cupboards and a farmhouse range cooker. You’ll find everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast for your days' explorations or a quiet romantic meal for two. As the night draws in, head upstairs for a comfortable and tranquil night’s sleep in the king-size bedroom. At the end of the hall is a double-size shower with a hand basin and WC.

A really lovely cottage situated perfectly for country walks and pub dinners. A charming, friendly village not far from Bradford on Avon and Bath for days out. It was a perfect stay for ourselves and our dog.

Warm and cosy cottage in a beautiful and quiet location. All of the villagers we met were so friendly and welcoming when we were out and about. Great place to stay for country walks; visiting the lovely rural towns of Frome and Bradford on Avon; numerous National trust properties, gardens and historic places of interest. Both pubs are worth a visitRead more and we have every intention of a return visit. Hide

Townsend Cottage is a beautiful, comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage in a friendly and attractive village. We loved our stay there and have already planned our return trip. The owners have thought of everything most of their guests might need. The arrival instructions were very clear and the system works well. We received a very warm welcomRead moree from the Cross Keys which is about a minutes walk away and serves fabulous food. It is a busy pub and booking is advisable. Hide
