Kemble is a charming village and civil parish in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, sitting on the fringes of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village hosts a good selection of attractions and amenities worth exploring, with its church having a Norman door and a tower dating from 1250 being particularly interesting. Alongside its historical delights and stunning scenery, you can find amenities such as a Post Office with store, an inviting pub, perfectly situated next to the train station for after a day of exploring the surrounding wonders of the Cotswolds and beyond. Kemble was once an important railway junction; however, it now offers access to Swindon and London Paddington, as well as westbound services to Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa letting you explore the very best of the area. The Cotswold Airport can be found on the edge of the village, previously hosting the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic display team, the airfield is now used by light industry, flying clubs and by private aircraft owners, as well as boasting events including two annual air displays, well worth seeing whilst in the area. Take a stroll around the local park, or delve into the depths of the Cotswolds aonb for a truly breath-taking experience.

It was cosy, clean, well equipped and provided the best base to explore the surrounding area. We received a very warm welcome from the owners. I would also recommend the Tavern Inn which provided delicious meals and a friendly service. We joined in with the Bingo night( and won the jackpot!) and had a well cooked Sunday roast. Thank you all for a lovely stay!

We loved just sitting and looking across the fields, taking in the view and the gorgeous sunset. The pub next door is lovely with good food and the owners are very friendly. A great base for exploring the Cotswolds. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The hut is very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Beautifully furnished and felt at home. Excellent Wifi. We were even kindly left a welcome bottle of milk and crusty loaf. The views from the hut are stunning with gorgeous sunsets. We dined at the Tavern Inn pub which is directly opposite the huts. The food was delicious - would highly recommend the Sunday Roast! Can't wait to come back - we love it here.
