Beautifully presented cottage in a great location with everything you could possibly need for a short getaway. Pretty much next to Shearwater Lake, a lovely spot for a gentle walk with or without your four legged friend. We used as a base to explore Longleat and Stonehenge both of which are a short drive away. The welcome pack with fresh bread, milk, jam, butter etc was much appreciated. Would absolutely return.

Caroline cottage is very comfortable. Lots of interesting artwork and artefacts. Pleasant outdoor seating area. Generous welcome pack. Loved the open fire. If you enjoy wildlife and countryside walks it's in a perfect location. Shearwater lake is a short walk down the lane. Would recommend Caroline cottage.

Fantastic break in a wonderful cottage. One of the best welcome packs we have had with everything you need for the start of your holiday. The cottage is very cosy and a real home from home with a log fire and large comfortable sofa. Great walks for the dog at Shearwater Lake which is only 100 yards away. Longleat only 5 miles away, as is Warminster where you can get supermarkets and plenty of cafes and pubs. Catch the train to Bath from Warminster Station or drive to the Bath park and ride. Ideal when visiting the Bath Christmas Market which we recommend if you are staying around Christmas. Would certainly stay again.
