A lovely cottage in a quiet peaceful location.The welcome pack was the best we have ever had , with the bread butter jam and cheese.It would have been nice to have walked more locally, but unfortunately it rained most of our stay.The hand soap and laundry smelt lovely.We would definitely visit again, as close to family near Bath and Pewsey. We had to move the larger coffee table to the side as there were 2 other side tables. Our dog would not walk down the outside steps, so we had to use the patio doors to go in and out with her. This could be removed to make clearer access.She is a big dog so we were unable to carry her down the steps safely.I think the room would be better without it there.

Caroline Cottage was an absolute dream for a Bank Holiday getaway. We were greeted by Ian as he watered the wonderful gardens. Although the beautiful garden adjoins the owners, we were given total privacy (wonderful patio + furniture) and the dog was happy, secure and thankfully, didn’t stray into owners garden as he had plenty of room of his own. Inside is simply amazing; very comfortable, immaculate and well equipped. Welcome pack was a super surprise - 1l milk, homemade jams, cheese, crusty loaf, butter, orange juice and sparkling wine. During the heatwave, the cottage remained cool especially in the bedroom. A wonderful 4 poster bed but very limited in space at the bottom to manoeuvre. A small compromise! Loved strolling around the lake (a moments walk away) in the sunshine and visited the on-site cafe. A little disappointed at the local pub (down the lane) due to no main food at the time (oven issues) and problems with beer pumps. Found wonderful pubs in perfect river locations while out on our daytime ventures. Would truly recommend Caroline Cottage and will most definitely return. Bravo to extremely considerate and welcoming owners of a fabulous cottage getaway!
