“The Cook House is a little gem of warmth and comfort, a real home from home.”

It is really clean and the owners ensured we had everything we needed for a super holiday. The cottage is well situated for days out with Salisbury, Devizes and Stonehenge right on the doorstep. I would recommend The Cook House for all types, families, couples, groups, it is well suited for all who want a relaxing break away from it all.

“The lodge is really cosy and comfortable.”

Everything was clean and tidy. A real bonus having three bathrooms and the water temperature and pressure were excellent. It was lovely to look out of the windows and see the farm animals and wildlife. We'll be booking the Cooks House again.

“The listing did not mention how close the property is to the road.”

We could hear cars going by at night which disturbed our sleep. The shower needs a shelf to hold soap, shower gel and shampoo. The beds need a top sheet because we were very warm under the duvet and we would have liked the option of a cooler covering. Otherwise, we were very pleased with the cottage.

Thank you for your feedback, we are grateful for all comments which can assist us in improving our guests stay. There are fans in the property, and we have invested in lighter bedding as per your suggestion. With regards to comments on the description of the property and the adjacent road - the road is a single track unclassified road leading to the village and a B road, with the nearest town 6 miles away. The property was built last year, and we took into consideration the visual aspect, and as the rear of the property faces the road, no windows are on that side of the building. This means that all the walls adjacent to the road are very well insulated. However the hedge at the entrance needs to fully establish itself, and as the hedge at the rear of the property continues to grow we trust that this will help mitigate the issues raised.

“The Cook House is a beautiful property which has been sympathetically designed to fit into the beautiful landscape.”

Peaceful location amongst the fields of the owners farm, sharing breakfast on the terrace with the heard of cows. All of the facilities were perfect with 3 lovely sized rooms and bathrooms making it ideal for a family with older children or a group of 6 adults. Lots of lovely details such as the welcome pack, books on local attractions and stories, a range of games for late evenings or when the weather is not perfect. Lots to see and do within a short drive away as well as lots of little picture perfect villages along the winding country roads. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cook House and would highly recommend.

“A lovely property, everything clean and well-maintained (as you'd expect as it was only built in 2023) in a quiet location.”

Three bathrooms was a particular treat. Nice welcome basket (and even asked in advance what sort of milk and bread we'd like) and well-equipped kitchen. Washing machine, rotary airer and pegs much appreciated - though a washing basket to take the clothes outside would be a welcome addition. Our only gripes would be curtains and duvets: Thicker/more curtains and/or blinds are needed, as we were woken up early by the light coming in and the property got very hot (even though only low 20s outside) due to sun getting in even when we closed curtains during the day and particularly through the front door/full-length window where there were no curtains at all. Usual trick of closing curtains on sunny side and opening windows on the other doesn't work when you're on holiday and therefore out for much of the day (and you are asked to close windows when not in, a sensible precaution anyway particularly as all on ground floor). This would be exacerbated by duvets being pretty heavy (10 tog I'd guess?) though this is a common issue in holiday cottages so we've learnt to bring our own lighter duvets or simply sleep under the duvet covers only. Plentiful places to eat and visit locally - we had good meals at Well at Bulkington, Bell in Great Cheverall and Nerano in Devizes, and enjoyed trips to Caen Hill Locks, Westbury White Horse, Lacock Abbey and Avebury. So on balance I'd thoroughly recommend for autumn through to spring but not necessarily in summer, though we still had a lovely break.

“Lovely accommodation surrounded by green fields.”

Lovely and peaceful by day and night. The property was extremely clean with all the equipment you could possibly need for a holiday stay. The beds were lovely and comfortable. Thank you for the welcome pack - it was very much appreciated.

“What a wonderful trip and home!”

! The Cook House was immaculate and had everything we could have needed. It was stocked full of information books for the house, the surrounding areas and all information we could have needed. There were games, toys to keep our toddler entertained for days and well equipped and stocked. The farm is beautiful and so peaceful. We had the most wonderful stay and will definitely be back! The owners were so great too! They greeted us on arrival and were at hand if we needed anything. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

“The Cook House was immaculately presented, with all the facilities a family of 5 (and more) could need.”

The property is located on the outskirts of a really pretty village and is well positioned for visiting the local market towns, Stonehenge, Longleat and numerous National Trust properties. We were welcomed by the owner, who kindly explained how to access local amenities, such as the walking route to the nearby fishing lake and location of the village shop. We were pleased and surprised to find a lovely arrival package, consisting of milk, bread, butter, tea, coffee, wine and even Easter eggs for the children. Conveniently, there is also a dishwasher and washing machine, for which tablets were available for our use. The property has ample parking, underfloor heating that kept the whole place cosy and warm, and the three bathrooms meant that we all had plenty of space to get ready each day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cook House and would not hesitate to return. Many thanks for a beautiful stay.
