Shute End is a little hamlet in Wiltshire, three miles south of Salisbury, near to the well-known area of the New Forest. It's what we'd call a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy the best of rural England. The historic cathedral city of Salisbury, with its magnificent heritage, charter market, and wide variety of stores, pubs, and restaurants, is only three miles away if you feel like exploring the neighbourhood, and a small country road close to Avon Turn will take you to the New Forest boundary in about 15 minutes.

Paul
The owners are friendly, helpful and live right next to the property. The location is fine but there isn't much within a walking distance. The local pub wasn't open and the village itself was incredibly small.

Theresa
The property is set in stunning grounds with the River Avon running along the bottom of the garden, the decked seating area offering the ideal spot for relaxing at the end of a busy day. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and the loft apartment was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be booking again.
