Mehr zu dieser Unterkunft

Charmantes Cottage aus den 1660er Jahren.

Dieses schöne Ferienhaus ist ein denkmalgeschĂŒtztes GebĂ€ude, das viele seiner ursprĂŒnglichen Merkmale bewahrt. Naturschutz hat PrioritĂ€t und wir verwenden lokale Handwerker, die traditionelle Methoden und Materialien anwenden, um dieses einzigartige Anwesen zu renovieren.

Es befindet sich im Lockeridge Dene (einem trockenen Tal) und ist von Feldern voller Sarcen-Steine umgeben. In prÀhistorischen Zeiten wurden einige dieser Steine 3 Meilen gezogen, um zum Weltkulturerbe Avebury Stone Circle zu werden.

Es gibt viele andere neolithische StÀtten in der Umgebung zu sehen; West Kennet Long Barrow und Silbury Hill gehören zu den bekanntesten vor Ort. Stonehenge ist ca. 40 km entfernt und mit dem Auto leicht zu erreichen.

Es gibt einen Glockenblumenwald gleich den HĂŒgel hinauf, der im spĂ€ten FrĂŒhling erstaunlich ist, aber zu jeder Jahreszeit wunderschön. Wir sind auf den North Wessex Downs, also ist es ein großartiges Wanderland. Es gibt den National Cycle Route 45 eine Meile entfernt sowie gute GelĂ€ndefahrrĂ€der. Wenn Sie sich nicht energisch fĂŒhlen, ist das Cottage sehr gemĂŒtlich und ein großartiger Ort zum Schlafen, Entspannen und VerjĂŒngen. Es hat einen schönen englischen Landgarten mit einem GĂ€stebereich, den Sie auch nutzen können.

Marlborough ist unsere nĂ€chste Stadt etwa 5 km entfernt. Es ist eine Marktstadt mit einem Waitrose- und Tesco-Supermarkt sowie großartigen GeschĂ€ften und Restaurants, darunter das Rick Stein's Fish Restaurant sowie indische und italienische Restaurants. Lokaler gibt es die Dorfkneipe, in der gutes Essen serviert wird, oder die Bell at Overton, die eher eine Gastrokneipe ist und sehr zu empfehlen ist.

In Marlborough finden Ende Juli Musikfestivals statt. Es gibt auch die Marlborough Summer School im Juli und August mit einer großen Auswahl an Kursen und AktivitĂ€ten fĂŒr Kinder.

Fabulous cottage. Very large rooms, considering age of property. Beautifully clean, comfy beds with crisp, white bedding.Bathroom has stand-alone shower which is powerful, as well as a bath with shower attachment (we did not use this). Kitchen is as described. We didn't need anything extra, but it is worth saying that there is no microwave or air fryer, if these are important to you.Check-in is very easy - turn up and go in. This is not a high crime area. The property may be a little difficult to find in the dark, however, as Google maps wanted to take us quite a way away, and what3words tells you to stop on the main road and walk across a field(!). When booked, I recommend viewing the maps and dropping a pin - ignore where Google wants to send you. Also note that although wifi is excellent inside the property, there is no signal outside at all, so you may not be able to call the owner if you get stuck.Nice pub 5 mins walk away in the village which does food. Avebury and Lacock are really easy to get to for sight seeing, and Malborough is really close for some shopping / cafe culture.

Jessica was the perfect host! Very friendly and accommodating. Property is magical: gorgeous gardens and certainly an old world feel! Best feature in my opinion is the cozy wood-burning fireplace. Beware that two of the bedrooms are upstairs and can be accessed only by a narrow staircase. The beds are comfy and plenty of outlets for charging devices.One thing about the location is that there are minimal transport options if you don’t have a car of your own. If not then you have only a few buses a day (none on Sunday’s) to get to the downtown Marlborough area for shopping or dinner out. otherwise it’s a great stay!!!

Comfortable, Cosy, Charming Cottage

We wanted a quiet, rural retreat in a character cottage and this place totally delivered. It may not be for everyone, but we knew what we were getting when we came. The house was built in 1710. The cottage, with its thatched roof has all the character you could ask for. The kitchen and bathroom are modern, well equipped and the sitting area is comfortable. There's a spacious downstairs bedroom that was has been added with two large bedrooms upstairs. The beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed the wood stove on cool evenings and the connectivity and video options. There is no cell service. Lockeridge is an attractive, friendly little village with a good pub. It is only 4 miles from Marlborough, which is a delightful old market town with many eating and shopping options. Just a couple of things to know going in: the ceilings in the kitchen and sitting area and the doorways are what you would expect when it was built. In other words, my head touched the ceiling and I had to duck under the beams and doorways. (I'm 6'2") Also, the stairs to the bedrooms on the first floor are treacherous - narrow treads, with a curve at the bottom, and the risers are exceptionally high. They are not for anyone with mobility issues. Our host was friendly and helpful. Wiltshire is beautiful with rounded ridges offering views and islands of woodland between the pastures. Lots of historical properties and gardens to explore. If this is what you are looking for, we recommend it!

This house was absolutely amazing!!! There was enough room for our whole family of five and everything was very clean. The location was a dream and the village of Lockeridge was so picturesque.. Jessica was on top of everything and was a wonderful host. I highly recommend this cottage for a perfect vacation or quick get away.

Truly Gorgeous! - Just watch your head! :-)

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. Communication with Jessica was fantastic and she is such a joy! The house is absolutely everything you would want from a Cotswold Cottage. The location is perfect for a base from which to make daily day trips all around the Cotswolds and surrounding areas. Just be sure to watch your head if you are like me, over 6 ft tall. I bumped mine a few times, but honestly, it just was all part of the charm of an amazing and historic property. Without question, I can recommend staying here, and it would sleep 6-adults very comfortably! Thank you Jessica, we LOVED our time in your cottage!!

A really lovely house in a beautiful peaceful location. Comfortable ( especially the beds) and cosy. So nice to be able to go for walks straight from the front door and an ideal spot for visiting Avebury and other ancient sites in the area. The owner was friendly and helpful. Would love to return.

Family friendly

The house was ideal for our family group, 2 couples and 2 little ones. Host was exceptionally friendly and kind. Had a cot for the baby and actually purchased a highchair for our convenience as well. The location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds, Wiltshire, Stonehenge and Bath and all surrounds and close to easy access from London. Great local pubs and near a playground. Certainly recommend.

Pure magic

Our family of five (mom and dad, kids aged 11, 9, and 6) stayed here for two beautiful days. This house is magical and our stay was 100% worth the drive from London. Scrupulously clean; comfortable beds; with all the kitchen amenities we needed. We spent a wonderful day exploring the neolithic sites of the Avebury World Heritage Site, which are very close by. A Waitrose is available for groceries in nearby Marlborough. There is a small playground across the street that our children really enjoyed. Our host Jessica was helpful, responsive, and kind. We cannot recommend this special place enough – would return in a heartbeat.

Heaven on Earth

Words and pictures are not enough to properly convey the tranquility and magic of this cottage. So peaceful and relaxing, this cottage was exactly what the doctor ordered. Waking up to the horses grazing in the pasture across the road, and the endless walking trails all around. Every evening we lit a fire and curled up on the couch. I wish I never had to leave. We are already talking about returning again and again in the future.

Comfortable stay in cottage from history

My sister and I stayed here with our elderly parents (85 and 77). The location was convenient for day trips to Bath, Cotswold, Stonehenge and the magna carta in Salisbury. The house was spectacular and cozy. My parents stayed on the ground floor (the upper level where my sister and I stayed requires steady feet). Jessica had a fire going when we arrived and my dad was thrilled. He loves a wood stove and this made him very comfortable. We cooked breakfast every morning in the small but fully functional kitchen. This was a perfect setting for the launch of our tour of England and Scotland. If you arrive after dark, be sure you've looked at the property on Google earth so you know your way around.

Relaxing Retreat

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend in this beautiful cottage. It is very well-equipped, spotlessly clean and has the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. We all slept well. The large garden is really lovely and we had a happy time enjoying our meals out there. We loved the peaceful location in the pretty village with countryside or woodland walks on doorstep. The local pub is a few minutes walk away. We received a friendly reception and had an excellent evening meal there. Jessica was welcoming, really helpful and an excellent host. Communication was prompt and helpful before we arrived. We really loved our weekend and would certainly return without hesitation. It’s a gorgeous place to stay.

The perfect location for a relaxing break. The cottage is wonderful, as is the garden, and the kitchen includes everything that could possibly be needed . The stairs could be a challenge for someone who is unsteady on their feet, but then again there is a bedroom downstairs too.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Jessica Neild

Bild fĂŒr Gastgeberprofil
The cottage has been in the family for many years. It belonged to my late mother, an artist who painted the local area. Her creativity and eye for detail is evident in the cottage that she restored over the years and it's garden which she designed and planted.

After 30 years of living and working in London as a market researcher, I took the plunge and gave it all up to live the dream here in the country. My days are busier than I had imagined, tending to guests, the house, garden as well as my dogs is a full time job, but very rewarding. I love this life; the outdoors, feeling the seasons change, getting my hands dirty in the garden, raising turkeys, horse riding or whatever is my latest craze.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

History, beauty, charm, cosiness and authenticity.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

This is a magical place, both the cottage and the surrounding area are steeped in history and beauty which give it an amazing feeling of timelessness and continuity. The local history starts in pre-historic times; Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, to being on the edge of the Viking invasion where the Anglo Saxons of Wessex held them off. There are later Elizabethan manors, and grand estates of 16th and 17th centuries, etc..

The cottage, which is two adjoined cottages, were cowmen's cottages as this was dairy country. They were built for the workers of the local farm in the village back in the 1660's and were purchased from it by my parents 300 years later.

Nowadays there is underfloor heating downstairs downstairs and central heating upstairs, so you can enjoy the history with all the modern comforts you need. Being a listed building, everything is done with conservation in mind and without interfering with the old feel and beauty of the place.

You can walk out of the front garden, through a gate, and into National Trust owned fields full of Sarcen stones, or take the track across the road up to the West Woods. From there you can continue walking to the edge of the downs and see Iron Age Hill Forts. You can walk to Avebury Stone Circle through a Sarcen stone valleys and across the Ridgeway. Or you can drive!
