“A lovely holiday cottage, set in an ideal location for exploring all the many sights the local area has to offer.”
Ms Lees May 2019

“Really lovely cottage and perfect for our weekend.”

The host was helpful in suggesting things to do with our small children in the area. There were also lovely touches such as milk/tea/coffee in the kitchen, and shampoo and toothpaste in the bathroom.
Mrs Akers December 2018

“Had a lovely Christmas in the cottage, which was warm, cosy and peaceful, and some sweet welcoming touches which were much appreciated.”

It was just what we needed, in a lovely village, local shop had everything you could need and The Volunteer was great, lovely staff, extensive gin menu and huge portions! Malmesbury is a very quaint little town, and we enjoyed Chippenham and Cirencester. There were a couple of little things in the cottage that I have fed back to the owners, who were very welcoming and friendly. We do agree with other comments re the proximity of the cottage to the main house, not that the owners were intrusive at all, far from it, we just felt more conscious about disturbing them when coming and going, but that’s just personal feeling. Thank you again for a memorable holiday.

“Owner was very nice however the photos do not accurately reflect the condition of the property.”

It looks more tired than the pictures show. It is directly on a country lane and is very loud when vehicles go past (even from the upstairs bedrooms).

Thank you for your comments and I am sorry you were not entirely happy with your stay. The owner has said that the property sits on a blind corner of a country lane so traffic can't go too fast but given that it is harvest season, there may be more vehicles passing than usual. The owner would have happily addressed any issues if they were raised with her but got the impression you had a nice stay when you were leaving. Owner relations

Mr Ooms

“We were a party of six: parents, children, grandparents and found the Somerford Cottage to be roomy and light.”

\ \ \ It was a wonderful surprise to find such comfortable and unique accommodations after a long day on the road. The owners welcomed us with a tea/cookie treat upon arrival. The cottage was very clean and the grounds were exceptional. Our hosts were very hospitable and friendly, providing us with suggestions for our trip.
Mr Galvao

Mrs Ryan

It suited us very well.
Mr Byrd

“Lovely location, welcoming hosts, clean accommodation as described”
Valery

“The cottage is a gem of calm and well being in the beautiful English countryside!”

Very functional cottage for a family (we were 2 adults and 4 children) and perfectly decorated. The living room is perfect for relaxing and there is a very functional kitchen. Flawless. Similarly, the location is excellent within a few miles of Bath or Oxford for a change of scenery. For those who love the English countryside and its villages, this is ideal. The garden is beautiful even though the proximity of the owners makes it a little impersonal. That's the only downside: the house owners are adjacent to the cottage. The gardener, who takes care of all this, is adorable and very considerate. Without hesitation, we are delighted with this stay. 10 unforgettable days in a beautiful cottage!\ Valery, August 2016
Mrs Horner

“It was beautiful, with wonderful gardens.”

The house itself was clean and we felt very comfortable.
