  Such a lovely, clean, cosy cottage!

  We were welcomed by the owner on arrival and we knew that they were always available if needed, but they left us to enjoy our holiday in peace. Although we were staying during the week of Storm Dennis, the cottage was always warm and cosy, with an extra radiator and electric fan heater available if necessary. The shower worked well - nice and clean and with ample supplies of hot water. The little kitchen had all we needed and we also could have used a washing machine in the adjoining workshop if we had so wished. We loved the beams and character of this cottage and felt totally at home and at ease from the start. The bed was very comfortable and clean, with a really snuggly duvet and soft, fluffy pillows. Outside, there is a good sized back lawn and garden, shared with the other cottage, which I imagine will be a lovely sun trap in the summer and which was perfect for walking our dog first thing in the morning. As a base for exploring Wiltshire, this was the perfect place to stay and Urchfont itself is absolutely gorgeous - all red brick and thatch, with a village pub and duck pond - idyllic! We would certainly recommend The Pottery for a relaxing and romantic holiday.

  This was a lovely cottage in rural Wiltshire.

  Great base for exploring the Cotswolds and ancient historical sites. The owners were very helpful and available throughout the stay. The cottage stays nice and cool under the tree canopy and the Milky Way can be seen on a clear night. There were many little woodland creatures and even a green woodpecker, vole and wood mouse rustled in the garden. Only a couple of thoughts to make it great for dogs would perhaps be a small closing gate on the back garden to enclose little rascals like mine in so that they can’t escape to the road. I had to keep my runaway on his lead. Plus just a thought to swap the tub chair for a squishier chair. I suffer with health problems and had a bit of body pain from sitting in this chair. So a squishier chair would add more comfort to the stay. Maybe a couple more mugs too just to make it a really relaxing holiday as the mugs run out quickly so more washing up to do. I know it’s lazy but it’s a holiday! I saw an iron but didn’t find an ironing board. Perhaps a couple more glasses too tumbler style. But it was very pleasant. Very peaceful location, pretty village and very pleasant stay.

  When we arrived the owners greeted us and showed us where they lived in the very nearby house and offered to help with any problems or queries which was nice.

  The cottage style home was really quaint and pretty, the lounge part looked over the garden and the kitchen was off the lounge, so everything was easily accessible. The cooker was electric, so not the easiest to regulate but I got used to it. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the whole experience. The owners were very helpful as we took our dog Luther and they showed where local walks were. We were only around 3 miles from Devizes which we like very much, as we love the cafe near the canal, which is dog friendly. We also found The Milk Churn which is near Melksham, again dog friendly. We loved the pond in Urchfont which had lots of ducks swimming in it or walking around, very pretty. The village also has a post office and pub. We were given a reusable shopping bag with Urchfont on it, which we thought was a lovely reminder of our restful stay in Urchfont. Very pleasant and enjoyable stay.

  The cottage was beautiful and would recommend it to friends but it is missing the 5 star as there were one or two niggles. The shower in the bedroom without the bath definitely needs to be a power shower. There were no soaps etc supplied and the host say that most people prefer their own but they still should be provided. The kitchen is perfect apart from there is no microwave, kitchen roll, tin opener or scissors (very useful for cutting the rind off bacon when making a full English breakfast for my friends). Also the food that was left complementary for our arrival was not to the usual standard. It should always be artisan bread not just o loaf from a supermarket. Other than that perfect.

  This is a beautiful cottage and very well maintained.

  The owners are helpful and speak if they see you but leave you alone to enjoy your holiday in peace. Just one note to anyone with a physical disability but doesn't need a fully accessible property, the shower is very high to step in and out of, approx 10" with nothing to grab onto and the sofa is very low. This would not impact anyone without a disability so please don't think these comments are a negative. The property does not advertise itself as accessible so this is just a comment for those of you that may have difficulties with the above mentioned. A lot of tourist attractions are close by and you can be on the coast in about one hour 30 mins.
