About this property
Tucked away on the outskirts of Corsham in Wiltshire, is this wonderful first-floor studio apartment, Blue Bell. Enjoying a fantastic location just a stone’s throw away from the stunning Cotswolds AONB and an elevated position showcasing country views, Blue Bell is an idyllic dwelling for a couple seeking a romantic retreat. Park-up in one of two off-road parking spaces, before climbing the wooden staircase up to your new home from home. Look forward to impressing your other half with tasty meals prepared in the kitchenette, ready to enjoy at the breakfast bar or dining table, both with seating for two. If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on the front decking as you admire the rural views and sounds of nature as you eat. After dinner, retreat inside where you can settle down with a good book or recount the day's adventures, as the woodburning stove adds a gentle warmth and glow to the space. Wash away the day with a refreshing shower before climbing into the sumptuous double bed to catch your rest ahead of another adventure-filled day. Will it be exploring the Cotswolds AONB? Brushing up on your local history at the Chippenham Museum? Or indulging in a soothing soak at the Thermae Bath Spa in Bath? The choice is yours when you stay at Blue Bell.

Bath, the historic capital of the United Kingdom, is only seven miles from the charming Wiltshire market town of Corsham. Poldark and The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher are just two of the many television shows and movies that have been filmed in the town's numerous limestone structures, many of which have been used as film sets. The remarkable art collection at Corsham Court or the picturesque grounds built by Capability Brown are both worth a trip to the nearby town of Corsham.
The city of Bath is a lovely place to visit, with a wide range of attractions, from the Georgian terraces to the Roman Baths and the abbey, all within easy reach. You have a plethora of options for anything from fine dining to shopping therapy. To get a different perspective, take a short drive to the 13th century village of Lacock or to Castle Combe, which was once voted England's most beautiful village. At any time of year, Corsham provides a delightful, historic base from which to explore this area's diverse landscape.

Craving some country charm, this cottage offered us the luxury of comfort and peace and quiet for the ultimate relaxation. Even the attention to the smaller details (loaf of bread) was an unexpected extra, that was made the experience even more special. Sorry, we didn't have any of the bread, as we brought our own. Hope it didn't go to waste?!" Overall, it was an amazing stay and hope to be back again.

Enjoyed seeing deer and hares in adjacent field and hearing owls after dark. Great walks in the countryside from the property and lots of places to visit nearby. Good facilities for the size of the property including a very comfortable bed. Appreciated the essentials such as bread, butter and milk provided on arrival.
