  The Fox Den Cottage is the best cottage I have ever been to in England.

  It is comfortable, cosy, has all the amenities readily available and the kitchen is spectacular, with a view of the garden and birds playing about on the lawn and in the branches near the bird feeders. The rooms are warm and comfortable with beds that you simply melt into and sleep soundly at the end of a fun day of walking around the idyllic village of Castle Combe or visiting the surrounding villages and towns. The location of the Fox Den Cottage is perfect, 20 minute drive from a very convenient Morrisons SuperStore in Chippenham, 10 minute walk from the Market Cross in Castle Combe, and next to some very lovely farmland that is quiet and soothing to the eyes with its green pastures. The owners of the cottage are extremely helpful and their hospitality is top-notch, even providing special little extras in the cottage for the guests to discover. We had a lot of fun in the cottage itself and it was great to sit down by the fire at the end of the day with a cup of tea and enjoy a nice chat by the warmth. Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended, to anyone visiting the Cotswolds or seeking a nice restful holiday in Wiltshire, this cottage should be Number 1 on your list.

  This property is an absolute delight, you feel really cosy and relaxed there.

  It is a pity there is no heater in the bathrooms, they are cold. As an old house, we unfortunately faced a power failure. It could have been resolved right away but Sykes customer service was inefficient and did not urge to resolve the problem. They just follow up with troubleshooting tickets number and emails, phone calls, but no real solution unless I personally insist and showing my disappointment . Too bad because the property has lovely owners, who felt very sorry for us. I would definitely come back, hoping I could rent through another agency. This wonderful place deserves a much nicer exposure. Excellent in every aspect. The beddings are so comfortable you literally melt into your bed.the sheets were so perfect too ! It was definitely a dreamy home.

  We had a very relaxing comfortable stay here.

  Amenities were good. We had a problem with the thermostat for the heating, but the owners swiftly came to the rescue and it didn’t interfere with our stay. The property is well placed for visiting many places in the vicinity Bath being one. A tip is to take the park and ride. Bristol, Weston Supermare Castle Combe, Lacock and Chew Valley Reservoir and. Cheddar Gorge are a MUST to see. Jenny who lives next door to the adjoining cottage couldn’t be more welcoming. A rarity we have to say. We have stayed in Sykes Cottages many times and only 2 of the owners have been friendly and went the extra mile. It certainly makes the holiday So thank you Jenny and Eric

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Fox Den Cottage.

  The property itself is situated perfectly in the idyllic Castle Combe; cosy & comfortable yet spacious and truly welcoming. It was a great space for the family to enjoy; the care and attention that has been applied to every detail throughout the cottage is so apparent. It was well-equipped & we really appreciated the extra accommodating factors of having a high chair and cot for our one year old. If you’re looking for a traditional & pristine accommodation that includes a comfy living area with an open fire, smart TV, generous sized bedrooms (one with a bath) & a fabulous dining area that opens out to a beautiful garden, this is the spot for you!

  The house is beautiful, furnished to a very high standard.

  However, we had two problems. We had several power cuts because something was blowing the trip switch. The housekeeper tried to be helpful but it was a Sunday so difficult to get someone in. We managed with that. The second, the shower in the main bathroom only produced a trickle of water and it wasn’t very warm, although there was hot water in the basin. This was difficult. We were 6 adults and we all had to use the en-suite where there was a really good shower. On a simpler note, extra mugs or cups would be handy, there were 6 but they always seemed to be in the dishwasher. A lovely house though, hopefully those things can be fixed.
