Lovely place and area which is fantastic for stonehenge which has been on my bucket list for a long time. My only criticism is the insecure garden which put me on edge a bit as i have a chiweenie with intermittent hearing loss.

A exquisite cottage in a blissfully peaceful location. Amazing views and lovely walks from the cottage along the river. The cottage has everything you could need for your break and is well equipped. The dogs loved the freedom of the garden and we all enjoyed quiet evenings by the open fire. Would definitely recommend to others and I will be booking again.
