Enjoy an idyllic stay in our beautiful home in the countryside, right on the border of Wiltshire & Gloucestershire. Whether your perfect holiday involves lots of countryside walks, exploring the local history or just curling up on the sofa in front of the fire, our home is the ideal base for everyone to enjoy!

As you come into the home, you are welcomed into the two beautifully decorated living rooms, both boasting comfortable sofas, armchairs and log burning fire. In one we have a great smart TV too, so you can catch up on your favourite shows or just watch the fire after a busy day of exploring.

We also have a stunning dining room and spacious kitchen with all the essentials you`ll need to cook up a storm!

Upstairs, you will find our bedrooms, all newly refurbished and beautifully decorated to ensure a great night`s sleep, including our master king-bedroom with ensuite, another king bedroom and another twin.

All bedrooms are also served by our master bathroom on the first floor, with a shower and a free-standing, cast iron bath - ideal if your perfect holiday involves a long soak and escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life!

For those looking to get a bit of work done on their trip, we have a great office room with a laptop-friendly desk, chair and printer, so you can tuck yourself away and enjoy some peace and quiet.

We also have a gorgeous, expansive garden for the whole family to enjoy the fresh country air!

Nestled in the peaceful countryside, Herdsman`s Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the best of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

For history lovers, the ancient site of Avebury and the iconic Stonehenge are both within driving distance. Local pubs, cosy tearooms, and farm shops nearby also make it easy to enjoy authentic country living!

Herdsman's Cottage is a beautiful house that is tastefully decorated. It has a large garden and a nice seating area outside. Everything was really comfortable and high spec. The area is lovely - really convenient for the arboretum and parts of the Cotsworld Way. We had our dog and the garden was great for a run. There was also a no through lane opposite that was nice for a stroll. We were there as a family group with mixed ages. So going forward - completing the rail in the front garden by the steps would be useful, as would a grab rail on the wall at the top of the stairs. The emails about the booking ended up in my junk folder (not the owners fault!) and I made the error of not looking for check out instructions until after we had gone (might be worth sending everything together at the start). I would definately stay again.
