Such a wonderful place to stay. We’d go as far as to say that it’s the nicest place we’ve stayed in. Jackie is so lovely and kind. There are so many thoughtful touches and the place was spotless. We’ll definitely book again in the future. Highly recommend.

This was our third visit to the cottage. The property is very well maintained and is very clean and comfortable. There are wonderful views across the countryside. The property is very conveniently located to get out and about to Oxford, Bath. Salisbury. Marlborough and a number of other places. We will definitely come back again.

What a stay! Truly a luxurious little piece of paradise for us to escape to. The hosts had thought of everything, and our comfort was clearly a top priority. Absolutely spotlessly clean, and the quality of the bedding and the products left for us to make use of were thoughtful and lovely, and the space was just out of this world. So much room for us to spend the weekend mooching together and catching up as a girls trip. If we could change one thing? Slightly bigger bath towels, but that’s probably more a read on the size of my hips that the place itself!!
