“Just returned from an idyllic week staying at this beautiful cottage.”
Privately owned, but within the grounds of The Manor House Hotel, this lovely cottage was our base while visiting Wiltshire...and we loved it. It's only a few yards from the main hotel and also the two pub/restaurants in the small village itself. So great for anyone wanting a short walk in the evening for a drink. We ate at The Castle only once, which was ok, but there are much nicer restaurants just a few minutes drive away, including our favourite - The White Hart, Ford. We had 2 really good meals here, in very comfortable surroundings. We can also recommend The Biddestone Arms, where we sampled their award winnings pies...absolutely delicious!! The cottage itself is quite beautiful - with very comfortable furnishings, lovely bathrooms (2) and everything you need if you want to cook for yourself. The interior has been tastefully modernised, whilst retaining its charming and quaint cottage feel. It has a lovely terraced garden with comfortable seating for 'al fresco' dining - we spent many hours out here enjoying the tranquil surroundings. The owner - Barbara, gave us lots of information on places to visit, and recommendations on where to book for dinner - thank you Barbara. She was also keen to hear our views on our return, and grateful for the couple of suggestions we made. Highly recommended! \
