A cosey little cottage in a beautiful quiet village, near enough to Marlborough for shopping and visiting local stately homes and wonder at the effort taken to construct Silbury Hill and Avebury. Very convenient for visiting family living close by.

A lovely cottage in a quiet little hamlet just a few miles outside the small town of Marlborough, all having lots of character. With wide open skies and countryside it was a pleasure to drive on the relatively quiet open roads and country lanes with far less traffic than I'm used to, It's easy to get to all the neighbouring attractions, heritage siRead moretes, towns etc. A very pleasant surprise, wholeheartedly recommended.
