"Dorothy was pleasant and the location was perfect. Very clean and I loved sitting in the back yard area. If you can, use the grill provided and cook out. Thank you for hosting us."

About this cottage rental

Potter Cottage, part of a Victorian Terrrace, 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 an excellent corner store just a 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 (55 minutes).

Our cottage has an open-plan kitchen, living room with wood-burner and 2 double bedrooms upstairs with built-in cupboards, the main one featuring a beautiful cast-iron fireplace. The bathroom (shower only) is just off the kitchen. Downstairs is fitted with underfloor heating, upstairs there are panelled wall heating, each room of which is operated by individual remote controls. Please note that the stairs are narrow and therefore our property is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The sofa in the living-room doubles as a sofa-bed, so is a useful short-term facility for extra visiting guests: please let us know if you require this, so we can provide appropriate bedding etc. There will be an additional supplementary fee of £20 per person per night.

Our TV provides both terrestrial and a streaming service with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and many more.

Outside: There is a parking space directly opposite the cottage, in front of the green garage door for 2 small cars or 1 family one. Please note this space is not suitable for vans or commercial vehicles. Parking on the High Street (first come, first served) is free.

Rental includes use of our beautifully rustic garden, opposite the property. It’s mostly laid to lawn with decking at the end and comfy garden furniture (cushions in small wooden lean-to next to barbecue), perfect for a glass of something chilled in the evening. A barbecue is provided, but we would really appreciate it if it could be clean and emptied before leaving, ready for the use of our next guests. Many thanks.

We have several sheds and are happy to store bikes or other sporting equipment during your stay.

We live 2 doors away from the cottage, so are usually on hand if necessary.

Our lovely cottage, recently refurbished, is situated in the heart of the pretty village 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, an excellent corner store, delicatessen and a part-time bakery just a 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 (55 minutes).

There are plenty of lovely walks nearby and the Kennet & Avon canal is within easy reach for fishing and cycling. Our cottage is also only a short distance from the station for trains to Newbury/Hungerford (5 minutes) Reading (35 minutes) or London (55 minutes). Parking is free (first-come, first served) on the High Street.

We provide clean bedding and towels at the start of your stay which are changed either weekly or at our guest’s request. Access to the dryer is in a shed in the garden.

The nearest town, Hungerford (around 3 miles away), has a Co-Op, Tesco and Boots pharmacy. There is also a fantastic traditional butcher and a weekly Wednesday open market.

A continental breakfast including freshly baked pastries, cereals, bread, as well as tea, ground coffee and fruit juice can be provided on request at a charge of £8.00 per person or £14 for 2 persons.

The Woodburner. The fire will be made up seasonally for guest use and a complimentary basket of kindling and kiln dried logs are provided: subsequent baskets are charged at £10.00. The fire provides additional heating not only in the living room, but also the radiators in the kitchen and the bedrooms. So technically, if you are using the wood burner, there is no need to turn on the wall heaters upstairs. However, if the fire is roaring you may hear a curious ‘kettling’ noise, hollow and rather rhythmic: don’t be alarmed, it’s just to do with the pipe-work, and will lessen once the fire is at an even burn.

Washing machine. Please always use the Calgon tablets provided (unwrap and add to main compartment in drawer) as the water here is extremely hard. Do not dry clothes on the radiators or in the house as these cottages are very prone to condensation.

TV. Our TV provides both streaming and terrestrial services.

Tumble-Dryer. Located in the first garden shed. We provide organic wool drying balls which helps to dry clothes faster and make garments softer when added to the drum during the drying process. You are also welcome to use the washing line in the garden.

We had a lovely stay with friends and went to Newbury Races which was a couple of stops on the train which is a 5/10 minute walk from the cottage The cottage was very nice 2bedrooms the smaller on is a bit small but fine for a few nights The kitchen is well equipped in fact the only down side was the shower which was very low pressure and the temperature kept changing so you had to jump in and out otherwise it was wonderful and we would use it again if staying in the area

This was a lovely clean cottage in a charming part of the country. My father came with work (as usual) and he appreciated the well equipped garden room office.

The outside of the property needs kerb appeal especially at the back of the property. The bathroom tiles needed a good clean around the shower. There was no milk on arrival and the coffee was old in the tin. The garden and decking was unkempt and hazardous. The property is unsuitable for anyone who as mobility issues. We dont have any mobilty issues but felt unsteady on the stairs.
