  A lovely comfortable property in a great location.

  Only a couple of small issues prevented us from giving this the 5 stars it should deserve: 1. There was an issue with the key box when we arrived so we couldn't get in as the box was jammed. We phoned the emergency contact and this was quickly sorted out but after a long journey this wasn't the best start. 2. The property description said it was a large private drive. It is, but it is shared with another property which I believe should be made clear. The people staying in the other property did not have a dog and would leave the front gates open which caused us a bit of stress as we wouldn't know when they were coming in and out and we had to be extra cautious before letting our dog out. Also, there was no fencing off between the properties so if someone else did have a dog you would need to be careful if you didn't want them to mix with yours. 3. There was a paddock at the back which we were hoping to run our dog around and also play some badminton in. Sadly the area is not maintained and the grass is extremely overgrown. We have a dachshund and they are prone to back issues (if you have a taller dog you'd be fine) and he had to jump to try and move forwards so we gave up before he hurt himself and obviously you couldn't use it for badminton either. 4. I don't know if it was just because of the weather or the fact it is an older property but there must have been at least 50 spiders who had made themselves at home. One of our party is an extreme arachnophobe so we shoo'd out as many as we could but it did feel like a losing battle as more kept appearing during the week. Overall, we loved the property (the facilities in the utility room were perfect for cleaning up the dog after a long wet walk) and its location and the Salutation Inn next door does amazing food

  The property is beautiful and we really enjoyed our family christmas stay, but the downstairs of the house was cold, for the size of the rooms the underfloor heating is not enough to warm the rooms especially the main lounge during the winter.

  We couldn’t even tell it was on. We hardly sat in there as it was always cold. It’s such a shame the wood burner is not in use as i feel that would have warmed up the areas lovely. Unfortunately for us it was very windy during our stay and some of the windows were very droughty which also didn’t help in some of the rooms. There was also no tv in the main lounge and felt it was a waste of such a lovely area. It didn’t feel at all cosy. The property is advertised as having two televisions but there is only one in the games room. Not sure why the room is advertised as a games room, it is a second lounge with the tv in it. Unfortunately, the tv is not tuned into terrestrial tv but luckily my son-in - law had netflix. This is also a lovely room and found it to be the warmest room downstairs. Upstairs is lovely, and with the radiators it was nice and warm, but the far bedroom windows were also very droughty. The main bedroom ensuite smelt very musty when we arrived, but it did get better with use. This might need addressing. All in all the place is beautiful and in a lovely location and we loved it. The reason for the 4 stars is that during winter we felt the downstairs needs more heating for the size of the rooms, curtains at some windows for the droughts and maybe a radio or a cd player as the only entertainment is in the far lounge.

  Beautiful property.

  Well situated near Castle Combe and accessible to all major roads nearby. Plenty of off street and secure parking. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms as well as two ample sized living rooms. The kitchen had all the facilities needed and ample crockery and cutlery as well as a lot of storage space. Just a few minor issue that would make this the perfect property and which could be easily rectified: 1. The blind in one of the bedrooms did not function properly but could be easily fixed with the right tools 2. The listing specified 2 x Smart TVs. There was only one provided and this did not have a television box hence we were unable to access terestial television. 3. Only 2 dishwasher tablets were provided. We had to wash dishes every day. These need replenishing if dishes are to be washed properly every day. 4. The key box was old and not functional. Once we had accessed the key we could not close the key box. A more modern one similar to that of the Stables opposite should be provided. 5. The garden area around the property needs maintaining. It was very overgrown, which was a shame because it had the makings of a lovely peaceful area

  Myself, my husband and adult son spent 5 nights at Troopers Cottage.

  It was a lovely presented, clean and comfortable cottage. The bedrooms are small especially the bunk room but this was indicated by the photos and was something we were expecting. The bunk bed was large enough for an adult and according to my son very comfy. The heating system was very efficient, warming the house quickly. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked well. The shower room was very clean with a very powerful shower and lots of soft towels. Unfortunately on our last day we experienced a problem with parking. We had parked our car out the front of the property each day without problem. My daughter joined us for the last couple of days of our stay and parked at the back of the property as advised by the owner, Overnight somebody cut the wires on and stole her electric door mirror and damaged her headlight. I would not recommend parking in this particular area. This said we still enjoyed our stay very much, especially being able to walk into town, Anna was very welcoming and efficient and the welcome basket of goodies much appreciated.

  We booked Stables Cottage for a party of four friends to explore the local area, Devizes and the nearby Neolithic sites.

  The property was in a stunning location removed from the main road being very peaceful, secluded and relaxing. Plenty of wildlife around. We arrived late on Friday and the owner came to check on us the following morning. We had a visit from a very friendly dog who was not disruptive in the least. The basics were provided on arrival (thanks!) and there was no lack of kitchen utensils and c ookware. The property is a good walk from Bowerhill & Melksham and I would not recommend that due to the busy roads. There is a bus stop outside the property entrance and on the other side of the road. If you need a taxi service I must recommend AAP Taxis who happily ferried us around. The property is near a bridleway so plenty of excuses to stretch your legs and there are also plenty of public footpaths nearby. In short a lovely property to get away too, if you want some peace and quite with the chance to explore thrown in too. We would come back again.
