Bed was super comfy, house had everything we could need. Went on a couple of walks around the area in between the wet weather, and took a drive over to Lacock. Also went to Lowden Farm Shop a few miles down the road which is great for supplies if you're cooking (and also has logs if you need them). Ate two great meals at the Methuen Arms and Mother and Wild. The house is well situated to walk up into town. Made the most of the hot tub and log burner and generally enjoyed a really relaxing time.

On arrival there was a beautiful Christmas Tree all lit up, the property was warm and there was some goodies for us which were very much appreciated. The property is decorated to a very high standard and very convenient for getting about with local shops a short distance away! Very comfortable beds too!

I had a lovely email before arrival checking and ensuring we had all the details we needed. The facilities at the house were amazing/clean and easy to use. The bedrooms were fantastic in size and it was the best holiday home we've had. Pub was only a 5 minute walk and loads of lovely field walks to take the dog within 5 minute walk as well.
