Company information

Being a family run business, the personal touch is what we like to offer. Our staff will always be polite, helpful and friendly as you would expect and will go out of their way to welcome you and assist you with your stay in any way they can! The restaurant and bar caters for locals to the area as well as staying guests, so the atmosphere will always be friendly. Our place is quirky, the original building very old with some modern additions, and it sits perfectly in its surroundings.

Property information

The Canal Cottages is a family owned and established business, just outside of London, but close enough to be in reach of it. We are set along the Grand Union Canal, between it and the River Frays, just a moment away from Little Britain Lake. There are wonderful walks on our doorstep, plus the heritage of the Canal itself. Use of an excellent Restaurant and Bar, which caters various dining options and a great selection of beverages, is just one benefit of a short stay or stop over with us. Visiting London for events, sporting events, sightseeing and concerts is easy from our location, we have excellent overland and underground train links just a short distance away. Taxis in and out of Heathrow will quickly help you catch connecting flights, and not too far away the historic town of WIndsor, the Castle and LEGOLAND Windsor awaits! The Harry Potter Studio Tour and Thorpe PArk are also very accessible from our location. All of our rooms are modern, individual and comfortable, they include light breakfast snack options in room for FREE. In the summer, our large garden along the Canal is the place to be, for food and drinks, a great place to soak up the sun and summer vibes!

Neighbourhood information

Great travel links into London, we are in an excellent position to see the sights of city without the hustle and bustle of the city. Sightseeing in London, attending events, concerts and sporting events are all possible from our tranquil location surrounded by water. We are also very conveniently placed near Brunel University, LEGOLAND, Harry Potter Studio Tour and Thorpe Park are a shirt drive away. A short taxi/uber ride to Heathrow!
