In the summer months, the french doors open out onto the patio where you can enjoy your dinner alfresco style!
LIVING ROOM The living room is part of an open-plan design and follows on from the dining room. Featuring an enclosed wood burner, a large smart TV and lots of books to keep you entertained, you've got all the ingredients for the ultimate, cosy night in.
SNUG/GAMES ROOM Also on the ground floor is a snug/ games rooms which also has a sofa bed. This room contains lots of games, books and puzzles and is the perfect hideaway spot for a bit of wind down time. There is also a large desk through this room should you need to work remotely during your stay - made possible by our super fast WiFi which is also free for you to use during your stay.
BEDROOM 1 Bedroom 1 is located on the ground floor and is part of the newly renovated garage conversion. It features an en-suite as well as a comfy king bed adorned in crisp white linen.
BEDROOM 2 Bedroom 1 is on the top floor and features a comfy double bed. It also has its own en-suite with a walk-in shower, WC and basin. The bedroom features a cosy 'nook' with room for clothes storage and natural light flowing in through the windows.
BEDROOM 3 On the first floor, you'll find bedroom 2 which features a cloud-like double bed for you to sink into a deep slumber. There is plenty of storage available for your personal belongings so you can really settle in and feel at home.

BEDROOM 5 The fourth bedroom is accessed via a small flight of stairs following on from the snug/ games room and features a comfortable single bed, adorned in crisp white linen.
BATHROOMS There are three bathrooms in total spread across the three floors. Bathroom 1 is accessed via the kitchen and features a luxury walk-in shower, WC, basin and antique mirror. Bathroom 2 is on the first floor and again features a walk-in shower, WC and basin. With marble tiling from floor to ceiling, you'll feel like you've just stepped into a luxurious spa.

PARKING We ask that you bring no more than 3 cars as there is limited parking availability at the cottage. You're welcome to park 2 cars on the driveway and 1 on the road outside.
Guest Access: Guests will have the entire cottage to themselves. The cottage is spread across three floors so you must be able to climb stairs. One bedroom is located on the ground floor (accessed via a small flight of stairs) all others are accessed via stairs.
While the single bed on the mezzanine level and the single sofa bed in the snug room are both full sized and would fit an adult, we suggest that these are more comfortable for children.

Located in a rural hamlet between Bath and Corsham, there is so much in and around the cottage to keep you entertained. Lacock national trust village is just a 15 - minute drive away, as well as the historical village of Castle Combe and the market town, Chippenham.

Xmas stay
Whilst the property was really good with great accommodation, the disappointment was - the wood burner which we got going never delivered any heat. I have 2 at home so I know how they work. In the kitchen, in a property for 8 adults comfortably there was no toaster, or anything to weigh ingredients.
