Feels more like your own home than a holiday home. Everything you would need was provided and more. Plenty of room for 4 of us. We all slept so well the beds were so comfortable. I must say one of the best welcome packs provided which really helped on our arrival. We made great use of the hot tub. Great location. Highly recommend a visit to Lacock. Lovely garden centre in nearby Melksham which has amazing food. Whitehall Garden centre in Corsham has a brilliant Christmas shop. We had a lovely meal at Moonlight Indian restaurant for our wedding anniversary. Owner Amber contacted us to check everything was OK with our stay. Highly recommend. One of the best properties we have stayed in. Thank you so much for a lovely stay

Everything provided, from bedding and furniture to kitchenware, was of the highest standard and the house was spotlessly clean.

Good quality appliances and furniture. Hot tub was wonderful and a definite plus. Kitchen very well equipped. The beds could be been a bit more comfortable. Electric charging point was an essential for us and a key reason for booking. Electric charging was rather expensive at 50p per kWh and front drive was not so easy to park on, as it is round a tight corner. Location is good as it is walkable to the town centre. Good location for touring.
