“The cottage & garden was perfect.”
Everything you needed was there with no expense spared. Loved the cat and the chickens! It was so peaceful surrounded by trees and woodland yet so close to all the places we wanted to visit -
Longleat (20 mins by car)
Stourhead (NT, 15 mins)
Stonehenge (NT, 20 mins)
Lacock (NT, 40 mins)
Shaftesbury (10 mins) Find Gold Hill there (Hovis advert) & the museum (free) is lovely
Salisbury (30 mins, use the P&R at Wilton)
Wardour Castle (EH £6 entry, 15 mins)
Weymouth & Portland (1 hr) Dont use the P&R, it's expensive & there's plenty of parking there.
If yr National Trust (NT) members the 3 places above are included in yr membership.
Villages we recommend to visit - Tisbury (lovely coffee shop & deli), Hindon (good pubs) & East Knoyle (support the village shop) + lots more
This was a memorable stay for us. The cottage was absolutely beautiful. Quality toiletries, fluffy cotton towels & robes, comfortable BIG bed, pint of milk in fridge, all washing & cleaning products + breakfast condiments eg jam, honey etc all provided. The garden had a Lutyens style bench plus table & chairs surrounded by lavender, roses & delphinium filled flower beds. Paula & family are great hosts & provided a perfect place to stay. Book it, you won't be disappointed!
