The bungalow was perfect for us as a base to explore nearby attractions including Tittesfield, Westonbirt arboretum, Salisbury and Bath is even easier with the direct bus. The house was clean, warm, spacious and well equipped. The beds wonderful comfortable. The owner even took the time to warn us of a temporary road works which might inconvenience us.

We received a detailed email from Anne before arrival so everything went smoothly there. The cottage was as described and fitted the bill perfectly. Our dog loved the secure garden. Anne responded quickly to a query about where we could take him for a walk and it was a great spot, maybe 10 mins walk to the grounds of Corsham Court where he had a great time every day. We visited Chippenham and Lacock and would recommend both, but to be honest the whole family just needed some downtime and the fact that we didn't do much exploring is proof of how comfortable the cottage was.

Close to a lovely town centre, yet quiet. Clean, (deceptively) spacious and well-equipped. A lovely winter break.
