  The location is wonderful for visiting many beautiful areas,The Cotswolds,Bath,Nearby Gloucester and Somerset.

  The little pony and the sheep in the paddock next door to the cottage were lovely. Comedy cottage is very pretty to look at and certainly it is pleasant to sit outside of an evening. Unfortunately,for us,we found comedy cottage uncomfortable to stay inside for the following reasons which could be rectified to make a more positive experience for guests. We found there was no privacy with the staff walking past frequently to and from the attached shed for gardening equipment,as the doors are so big it's very easy to see into the entire downstairs and we could not relax,yes we could shut the big barn doors but it was extremely hot and sunny.putting some obscuring film on the doors,or tinted glass,would make the downstairs more private and hopefully keep it cooler.Upstairs was more comfortable by far but up under the eaves it was uncomfortably hot and with only one fan for the whole place we had to keep moving it room to room.air conditioning would be great. Nowhere to sun bathe due to lack of privacy,as well as staff tending to shrubbery,there were staff cleaning out a van with a very loud radio,the dog being walked by,deliveries arriving outside the doors.To avoid this is to go out or sit and melt upstairs.I'm not sure what the answer is to the privacy and hopefully to many it won't matter if out all day . The welcome pack of bread butter,milk and biscuits were very welcome,thank you.I would advise on the listing to bring everything else which in other cottages are usually present,a few tea bags,salt,pepper,tissues,a couple of coffee sachets,tin foil etc,. We picked up the dog poo as always but didn't know where to put it,perhaps a small dog poo bin somewhere? We stripped the bed as requested(no pillow or duvet protection

  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.

  The Comedy is a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

  A spacious well appointed kitchen/eating area downstairs and a comfortable lounge, bedroom and bathroom set in the eaves upstairs, with just the right amount of quirkiness to keep it interesting. A table and chairs outside the front door provide a great setting for a reflective drink at the days end. This is a great base to travel around the Southern Cotswolds, Somerset etc for sightseeing and long walks, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of long local walks directly from the cottage. We both appreciated the relaxed friendliness of our hosts and the local people we bumped into on our rambles. We returned home after our week relaxed and ready to return to real life.

  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!
