Kingswood is a lovely suburban village in South Gloucestershire, resting near Bristol and Bath.

The village is home to a handful of takeaways, a shop, a supermarket and a selection of bars, giving you everything you need for a self-catering break. With two fantastic tourist cities within easy reach, the village is an ideal base for exploring this scenic area. Just outside of the village is a picture-perfect Nature Reserve, Magpie Bottom, where plenty of peaceful strolls and bike rides can be enjoyed in the milder weather. Venture out into Bristol for a trip bursting with culture; spend an afternoon in The Georgian House Museum, or enjoy a peaceful day at Brandon Hill and admire the views of Cabot Tower. Slightly further afield is the historical city of Bath where you can take in the stunning architecture of the city and even squeeze in even more history with a day at the Roman Baths and The Jane Austen Centre.

We enjoyed fantastic food & atmosphere at the local, The Boot Inn. A memorable bike ride with our bulldog in tow to Tom o the Woods & The Navigation Inn, who kindly borrowed us matches to light the log fire on our first night. We wish we could have stayed longer, with so much more to explore at nearby Stratford upon avon, Leamington Spa & NT properties. The cottage was well equipped & extremely comfortable. Hot tub & log burning fire made for a very relaxing stay on a drizzly Saturday. The spa robes, fizz, flowers and welcome card were a lovely personal touch. Thank you! We highly recommended Kingswood Cottage and will sure to be back.

We had an incredible stay and the cottage is exactly as per the photos. One thing to note was that there was no tea or coffee, and there were no coffee pods for the coffee machine. Not sure if the guests before us had used the last of them, or if they were just forgotten to be topped up. Everything else was immaculate.
