The cottage is in a lovely quiet hamlet with easy access to Salisbury, Stonehenge, the south coast & the New Forest. There are good pubs within walking distance & pleasant walks for the dog.

A pretty little cottage on a lovely quiet street. Beautiful bedrooms. Downstairs, a bit small if you were staying with 4 adults. Very thoughtful that there were towels, bowls, bags and treats for the dog. We did find the A338 very noisy when sitting in the garden. (Small part dual carriageway: traffic speeding up) And as garden lovers we found it aRead more bit of a pity that the garden was brown: brown grass and mostly empty brown borders. (But understandable with the drougt in spring and summer 2025) Hide

An exceptionally well equipped and appointed cottage that is a pleasure to stay in. The design of the interior space is excellent and the cottage is very cosy and comfortable, notwithstanding that it is very old and characterful. Situated in a highly picturesque hamlet within easy reach of Salisbury this accommodation is highly recommended!

The cottage is really cute and cosy and beautifully decorated and furnished, lovely quiet location with easy access to Salisbury. Comfortable beds and a hot and powerful shower. We had a couple of small issues which we have reported but overall we had a lovely week and would stay again.
