About this property
Kings Cottage South offers guests an opportunity to stay somewhere quite exceptional in South Wiltshire’s highly sought after Chalke Valley.
After careful research, the owners have spared no expense in refurbishing this charming cottage, carefully blending both contemporary and period features, to ensure maximum comfort for guests during their stay.
Once inside, you’ll find stylish interiors, full of charm and elegance. From the contemporary bathrooms to the bespoke timber and glazed frame of the dining room, no detail has been overlooked. There’s a fabulous kitchen too, equipped with everything you might need to prepare a delicious meal.
Over two more floors you will find one first floor super king-size double (zip/link can be a twin on request) with en suite roll top bath, walk-in shower, basin and WC, with another king-size double with ensuite bathroom with bath. Elsewhere, there is one first floor double and second floor twin, as well as a first floor bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC.
It really is accommodation to the highest standard, allowing you to really immerse yourself in, and enjoy your holiday. Thoroughly recommended, King’s Cottage South can be reserved individually with its own private entrance and garden or booked in combination with King’s Cottage North to accommodate a larger group of up to ten guests who will be able to make use of South Cottage’s large, convivial dining area.
Overall, this property is a great place to go if you would like to explore the city of Salisbury which is the jewel in Wiltshire’s crown.
Broad Chalke is a village nestled under the download of Cranborne Chase, between Shaftesbury and Salisbury. Cranbourne Chase is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the countryside can justly claim to be some of the finest in southern England. Walkers, riders and cyclists are particularly well served by the multitude of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes which run along the valley while a walk up to the old Ox Drove on the chalk ridge above will be richly rewarded by the sweeping views.

It could have been a little cleaner, but it wasn't enough to spoil our stay. It felt like an above average family home in cleanliness, rather than spotless. A 2 slice toaster for an 8 birth was a struggle! The kitchen and dining room were where we spent most of our time. Felt it wouldn't have been unreasonable to leave the dishwasher with one load running on departure. So, we felt a little rushed leaving at 10 o'clock after washing and drying up, putting everything back as we found it and stripping the beds. Great walks nearby, the local pub was pricey and a little clicky. The owners cannot control the pub. All in all we would return, it is a lovely place for groups and very tastefully decorated.
