About this property

Charming Kintbury Cottage

This charming Victorian terraced cottage is situated in the heart of Kintbury. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby and the Kennet & Avon canal is within easy reach for fishing and cycling. The village has 2 nice pubs and a very good corner store just a few minute's walk away. The property is also only a short distance from the station for trains to Newbury/Hungerford (5 minutes), Reading (35 minutes) or London (50 minutes).

The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with blinds (privacy assured even when semi-closed) and a separate dining area, with an extendable table (seats 6). There is also a washing machine and access to a tumble-dryer. The living room is equipped with a TV and a deluxe easy-folding Furl double-sofa for a delightful night's sleep. Instructions for opening the sofa-bed is in our instruction manual on the kitchen table. Please let us know if you are arriving late, and we will set up the bed for you on request. The main source of heating is a lovely open fire. The fire will be made up seasonally for guest use and a basket of kindling and kiln dried logs (plus subsequent top ups) are provided free of charge. There is also an alternative source of heating in the electric log effect stove which nestles under the TV. Just pull forward and plug in: the temperature is controlled with switches at the side.

There are two rooms upstairs: one is equipped with a comfortable double bed, wireless charging bedside lamps and a projector for guest use where you can rather luxuriously watch a film from bed, with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ accounts, and enjoy your own private cinematic experience, The other room is primarily set up as office space with a printer & fast unlimited internet access (58 MBP), perfect for working from home. This room also includes a dressing area with cupboards and hanging space. Please note that the stairs are narrow and therefore our property is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

We have a large shed and are happy to store bikes or other sporting equipment during your stay.

We live next door to the cottage so are available for any help or guidance during your stay.

This is an ideal location for exploring Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire, with the pretty market towns of Hungerford & Marlborough only 5 and 20 minutes drive away. Avebury stone circle is 40 minutes away.

Kintbury has a railway station with a regular hourly service to Hungerford (5 minutes) Newbury (7 minutes) Reading (35 minutes) and London (50 minutes). Off-street parking is also available for a small/medium car unless you possess Ninja parking skills (which some of our guests impressively do)!

Our cottage includes a dedicated office which is the ideal space for anyone working from home. The 'home cinema' is an added bonus to chill out and relax at the end of the day. The nearest town, Hungerford (around 3 miles away), has a Morrison's, Tesco and Boots pharmacy. There is also a fantastic traditional butcher and a weekly Wednesday open market.

Kintbury cottage

Marked the "location and area" down one star. Not fault of the cottage, the parked vehicles in the narrow through street meant that getting through requires patience and a bit of give-and-take with oncoming through traffic. Otherwise 5*

Schönes Objekt in ruhiger Lage

auf der Rückreise nach D haben wir einen kurzen Stop bei Dorotheas fewo eingelegt. Das Haus ist funktional eingerichtet und typisch aufgebaut für den Charakter kleinerer Orte im Süden Englands. Die Kommunikation mit Dorothea war unkompliziert, da die Vermieterin direkt im benachbarten Haus wohnt.
