The village itself has a shop and pub as well as a country park, perfect for long walks or cycling. Further amenities can be found in the nearby town of Trowbridge, which is only 2 miles away and offers a blend of high street names and independent shops. Many of the region’s most popular attractions are within easy reach, including the beautiful city of Bath, Bradford-on-Avon with its charming canal and riverside walks, Longleat House and Safari Park, Stonehenge, Lacock Abbey and Village, Corsham, Stourhead and Frome, which are all within 20 miles drive.

There is a useful separate WC just next door, complete with a dog shower ideal for use after muddy walks.

This luxurious space is fitted with a generous shower, beautiful freestanding bath and WC.
