Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the cleanliness of the cottage, highlighting it as well-equipped and very clean, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The location is highly praised for its picturesque village setting, proximity to local walks, and a friendly village pub. It's also noted as a great base for exploring Wiltshire and nearby historical sites.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable. However, a few guests suggested improvements such as a squishier chair and noted the high step into the shower could be challenging for some.
Facilities are generally appreciated, with mentions of a well-functioning kitchen and garden space. Some guests suggested additional amenities like more mugs and glasses, and a gate for the garden to improve the experience for dog owners.
Hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, with gestures like fresh flowers, milk, and a local souvenir bag. While these gifts are warmly received, they are personal touches and may not be a standard offering for all guests.

It was just what we needed for a couple of days of peace and quiet. Lovely location, cottage was small but very comfortable and exactly what we needed for a change of scenery. Would throughly recommend for short stays.

Claire and Phil made us sooo welcomed and couldn't do enough for us. We were able to host family and friends over a short periods. The only downside, was, the local pub was not operating at its full potential. However, if one wanted to eat out there are plenty of other eatery nearby. If one is looking for somewhere to chillax in quiet surrounding at a reasonable cost then, The Pottery is a must.
