Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating a high standard maintained by the owners.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, accessibility to local attractions and walks, and the beauty of the surrounding countryside, making it an ideal rural retreat.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the property cosy, well laid out, and the bed particularly comfortable, contributing to a restful stay.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. However, a few guests noted the absence of a shower and the presence of low ceilings, which slightly impacts the score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the personal touches like homemade cake and fresh flowers. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, they are unique gestures and may not be a standard offering for all stays.
About this property
Tisbury Wiltshire 2.3 miles. The Barn at Frog Pond Farm is in a picture-perfect setting, tucked away with a private entrance in the quintessential village of Ansty in Wiltshire. A homely abode lying deep within the luscious green county of Wiltshire, this wonderful dwelling offers the ultimate romantic haven for two. Having achieved an outstanding rating with guests, The Barn welcomes many return visitors who complement the property on the standard of its accommodation, attention to detail and the beautiful, tranquil setting. Key features include the ground-floor sitting room with striking floor to ceiling double height windows – emanating light throughout the day – first-floor mezzanine reading area, dressing room, bathroom and bedroom with westerly views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The pretty blue king-size bedroom comes with crisp white bedding and a plenty of storage. The bathroom is equally inviting with a large cast-iron bath and hand-held shower, although due to the construction of The Barn the headroom is a little limited. The outside dining terrace enjoys pleasant views and a sunny aspect, and has proved particularly popular. When you can just about manage to tear yourself away from this idyllic home away from home, you will love being right at the heart of an area, designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The small but thriving community of Ansty were winners of Best Kept Small Village in 2019/2020 and right on the doorstep, you will find some lovely walks - begin with a walk to the grounds of Old Wardour Castle, before exploring Cranborne Chase and beyond.

For pub lovers, there are several excellent establishments within a short drive including The Royal Oak at Swallowcliffe, Beckford Arms in Tisbury, Compasses Inn at Chicksgrove, King John at Tollard Royal, The Grosvenor at Hindon, The Museum at Farnham and the Horseshoe at Ebbesborne Wake proving to be particular favourites. Local attractions include Stonehenge, Larmer Tree Gardens, Wiltion House, Salisbury Cathedral, Stourhead, Longleat, Shaftesbury Gold Hill, Sherborne Abbey, Bath and of course, The Jurassic Coast. When it's festival season, Glastonbury Festival is only a short but scenic drive away. For a holiday to remember for a lifetime, book a stay at The Barn at Frog Pond Farm.

A great welcome from Gail and the property was very clean, tidy and comfortable. We enjoyed following the route for your favourite walk that we found in your guest information folder. We also enjoyed your baked treat of banana cake and we did take advantage of your kind offer to pop the extra Frog Pond Farm apple juice in our bag to enjoy at back at home; that is delicious! Highly recommended, we really enjoyed it.

Comfortable, relaxing and in such a peaceful location, but with so much to do and see on the doorstep or within a short drive. in fact we enjoyed it so much that on our drive home we booked to go again next year!

Looking out the floor to ceiling window was awesome even on rainy days. So many places to visit within easy reach and by using the park and ride facilities made it easy. A warm welcome from the owners and very helpful.
