Picturesque thatched cottage & beautiful garden setting, plenty of parking space on driveway. Typical cottage style inside, very quirky! Mind your head on the beams if over 6 foot!! Needs a bit of TLC (lick of paint).

Excellent Area, beautiful views, interesting towns. Good looking pub next door, but not open. Local people friendly.Longleat is well worth a visit, when we went the heatwave was at a peak, strongly suggest you use the air conditioned bus tour.

We found this wonderful house just like it looks on the photos.It’s an nice old farmhouse!And as we had an old holiday farmhouse in our family for years, we knew what could come with it ( e.g. spiders, low beams).The Kitchen is well equipped, we cooked dinner every day.The outside area is charming!Weather was fine and we had breakfast and dinner there. Our host Gillian was most pleasant to talk to. We got tips what to do and where to go!The house is a good starting point in every direction, with many places to reach under 1h drive. Thank you for this english country experience!
