About this property
Ivy Cottage is a beautiful stone-fronted holiday cottage in a picturesque countryside location on the outskirts of Colerne in Wiltshire. Boasting a characterful interior and welcoming nine guests in four thoughtfully furnished bedrooms, Ivy Cottage is the perfect retreat for families or friends looking to explore Wiltshire’s countryside with two of their beloved pooches. Your relaxing getaway begins when you park in the designated off-road spaces and enter your new home-away-from-home. A spacious sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a crackling wood-burning stove, greets you; the perfect place to unwind after a full day of tranquil countryside walks. Later, step into the kitchen/diner, which is equipped with everything you might need during your stay; cook up a storm here and gather the family around the large dining table to enjoy your culinary delights. If the sun is shining, head outside to the private patio, where you can fire up the barbecue and indulge in some alfresco dining. Be sure to raise a glass to your getaway as the stars begin to fill the sky overhead. When the sky darkens, head back inside and freshen up in either the family bathroom or the shower room before going upstairs to the first floor to choose between three bedrooms: a king-size, a double, and another double that can be made into twin beds on request. There is also a bunk bedroom on the ground floor that the kids are sure to love! Make cherished memories with the ones you love most at Ivy Cottage!

The village of Colerne is situated in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in west Wiltshire, close to both Chippenham and Bath. The village has a Post Office, shops, pubs and a village hall. Close by is the town of Corsham, which offers a vibrant weekly market, and is renowned for its numerous Grade ll listed limestone buildings, many of which have been used as locations for TV series and films. Locally, Corsham Court is well worth a visit where the impressive art collection can be admired or visitors can enjoy the scenic parkland, designed by Capability Brown. Easily accessible is the stunning city of Bath, where there is so much on offer, catering for all tastes, from the magnificent architecture of the Georgian terraces to the celebrated Roman Baths and wonderful abbey. With ample opportunities to eat out, or indulge in a bit of retail therapy, you really are spoilt for choice. Alternatively, take the short drive to the 13th-century village of Lacock, or to Castle Combe, once named England’s prettiest village. Colerne provides visitors with a charming base from which to explore this diverse area.
