“The four of us enjoyed a lovely holiday in this above average property.”

It was very warm (we never needed to light the log burner), comfortable and extremely welcoming particularly with the beautiful Christmas tree.

It was very warm (we never needed to light the log burner), comfortable and extremely welcoming particularly with the beautiful Christmas tree. There are lots of places to visit in the area and good food available at the friendly village pub. Thank you to the owners for the eggs and other extras, all much appreciated.

“There were a few issues.”

Silly things like no hooks on bedroom or bathroom doors. Also we felt there should have been some literature on howto adjust the heating. We only saw the owners once and found it difficult to call them. Other than that a nicely equipped cottage in an excellent location.

- Mrs Ive, December 2019
“Absolutely fantastic cottage in a superb location.”

Martin the host came and introduced himself on arrival with a dozen fresh eggs and was very friendly and responded to any questions before the holiday more or less straight away. The cottage had everything you needed all high quality equipment, you couldn’t have asked for anything better. Only thing we was a little bit disappointed with was the listing said there was a washing machine but there wasn’t one but it wasn’t a major problem at all. Would definitely like to come back here again.

“Superb cottage lovely location”

Stayed for a weeks holiday in this beautiful cottage as a family of 3. The cottage was absolutely beautiful was well equipped with all good quality items. You didn’t need to leave the cottage you could quite easily stay in and enjoy the luxury (which we did on a couple of occasions) Martin was the perfect host he came to introduce himself on arrival with a dozen fresh eggs from the farm and before the holiday he answered all questions more or less straight away. The only thing we was a little disappointed with was the listing said there was a washing machine but there wasn’t but it wasn’t a major problem at all. We would definitely love to visit this beautiful place again, thank you Martin.

“The cottage was absolutely perfect.”

Very comfortable and beautifully furnished. Very warm and cosy and lovely to be able to use the wood burner in an evening. The eggs and milk were a lovely thought and Martin was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We loved the peace and quiet and the cows grazing on the field behind, even the calf in the garden some mornings! The cottage is so accessible for so many places to visit. We had a super week and the cottage was definitely 5*.

- Mrs Freeman, October 2019
“What a lovely cottage.”

We had a great week at Woodmans cottage, Martin was very helpful & made sure we had everything we needed.

- Mr Wild, September 2019
“The cottage is very modern but comfortable with everything we needed, very friendly greeting from Martin.”

The farm is in a beautiful setting, it was great to see cows & chickens outside the window.

- Mr Taylor, June 2019
“What an amazing place to stay!”

A beautiful, quiet country location, the cottage exceeded expectations and more! Very clean, modern and well equipped! I wasn’t ready to leave!!! Martin was very friendly and made sure I was settled in ok and made himself available for any queries. Definitely recommend this beautiful cottage if your looking to relax! I’ll definitely be coming back again! Thank you :)

- Mr Quigley, May 2019
“Woodmans Cottage is a lovely place to stay on a working chicken farm.”

A great place from which to explore South Cotswolds/Wiltshire and the surrounding area. Lovely treats on arrival from the owners such as fresh eggs and organic milk. Would definitely consider booking it again in the future.

- Mrs Kinsella, May 2019
“Lovely cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break away.”

The owners are superb and supply you with fresh eggs on your arrival very friendly and welcoming. It is a working farm so you have to appreciate the noise and smells that go with this! Did not bother us. Beautiful part of the country so plenty of places to visit nearby and lots of walk within close proximity. The local pub is a few minutes drive and again friendly, welcoming and great home cooked pub grub. We will be going back!

- Miss Laird, May 2019
“We had a lovely week in this beautiful quiet cottage located in peaceful surroundings.”

Nothing was too much trouble and when we asked for an extra couple of items for the kitchen, they were bought and hand delivered the very next morning by Martin the owner. It was a lovely touch to have fresh milk and organic eggs on our arrival too. It was lovely to visit the chickens on their free range farm and surprised how friendly they were. The cottage was located in a great area to explore the Cotswolds and the local town Chippenham is only a 10 minute drive and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a peaceful getaway.

- Miss Heyburn, March 2019
“The property is exactly as described.”

If you want peace, quiet and tranquility then this place is ideal. It is an organic egg farm with plenty of wildlife about if you watch carefully. Plenty to see and do locally. The owner, Martin is friendly and helpful but does not intrude upon your holiday. There if you need him. The gift of fresh organic eggs, milk and biscuits were a treat not often experienced in holiday properties. Coffee and tea available on arrival. A place to enjoy!

- Mrs Woosey, March 2019
“A great holiday in lovely surroundings with great access to Bath, Bristol and surrounding areas.”

The house itself had many more features than expected; underfloor heating, good WiFi, good surrounding parking, a nice little garden area, and a well-stocked kitchen with a very quiet dishwasher. The house itself is on a small farm but disruption from this was minimal - we didn't hear any noise at all. The hosts were very friendly, and the resident chickens are great fun to watch! The pub at the end of the road does good food and a great monthly pub quiz, and the house is within easy travelling distance from at least two major supermarkets. The only note is to ensure you look at the map on the website, as the road the house is on is quite long with quite a few properties along it. Thanks to Martin for the stay.

- Miss Cambridge, February 2019
“Great holiday was had by all.”

Excellent cottage, good location, very warm welcome from host, and we had the bonus of good weather as well! Looking forward to returning in the future. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Mrs Barber, February 2019
“Cannot fault Woodman's cottage!”

It was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. In a stunning location in a lovely county with easy access to major road networks. We were greeted by Martin the owner on arrival then when we got inside we found a dozen fresh eggs, organic milk, tea, coffee and biscuits to get us started. All the amenities were modern including under floor heating! I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Wiltshire. We will definitely be returning in the near future! Thank you! Ade & Fay

- Mr Davison, January 2019
“Enjoyed a long winter weekend at the cottage with friends.”

Fantastic open planned area with underfloor heating, great for socialising, in a cold winter night. Walks on the door step- no need to get in the car, however, convenient for accessing beautiful and historic places such as Bath and Malmesbury. The extra touches were very much appreciated-Xmas tree, bottle of sparkly, gorgeous nibbles and of course the eggs!

- Mr Caddle, December 2018
“The cottage was beautiful and exceeded our expectations!”

It really gave us the country cottage feeling with the added benefit of being on a farm - something our sons loved! The owner was friendly and came to check on us to see if we were okay and enjoying our stay. The location was fantastic and the views from the cottage are lovely. The eggs provided were wonderful. I think our boys would have loved to have explored the farm more so we'll have to book another stay...

- Mrs Taylor, December 2018
“A beautiful place in a wonderful setting.”

Everything was there to make out stay comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely go back.

- Mr Sykes, December 2018
“Excellent”

Arrived for a weeks stay and the cottage is beautiful. Very modern and clean, with everything you need. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms and well equipped kitchen Easy to get to just off the M4, lovely to see fresh eggs, Tea,Coffee and Milk on our arrival. Cannot wait to explore

- susie144, September 2018
“Woodmans Cottage is a lovely place to stay, close enough to explore the Cotswolds and all the wonderful attractions the area has to offer.”

The owner Martin is very hospitable, stopping by to ensure we had everything we needed whilst personally delivering a dozen fresh eggs from his hens! Nothing was too much trouble and he was very helpful if we had any questions. The cottage itself was as advertised by Sykes. Very clean and comfortable throughout, has everything you need for staying in and cooking if you didn’t fancy going out. Many cozy nights spent in front of the log fire relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. Such a quiet and peaceful location, ideal for relaxing and recharging your batteries. We hope to return in the near future. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

- Mrs Wood, September 2018
“Fabulous cottage converted to a really high standard.”

The only thing which was misleading was the implication that the cottage had its own washing machine - in fact it's shared with one of the other properties and is in a separate building. Nonetheless we loved the place.

- Mrs Dams, September 2018
“We stayed at the Woodmans Cottage for one week and we were extremely pleased with its location - in an idyllic setting in the countryside but so near junction 17 of the M4 that we were able to motor off to sight see Salisbury, Bristol, Bath and Oxford.”

Martin, our host, welcomed us to the property personally and among the small treats that were in the cottage included a dozen free range eggs, from the hens on the farm, and a bottle of organic milk. The cottage itself was spacious (for four of us), clean and well maintained, with all mod cons. I would certainly recommend anyone wishing to visit Wiltshire to stay at the Woodmans Cottage as its a great base for a fab holiday.

- Mrs Mitchinson, August 2018
“We've had an excellent time in Woodmans Cottage.”

The cottage and surroundings where relaxing and peaceful. The cottage itself was equiped in very high standard. There was absolutely nothing what wasn't right.

- Mr Smit, July 2018
“The location was such, that it was easy to get to places without a lot of hassle, whether it was by M4 or main and country road.”

- Mr Tomassi, June 2018
“Lovely cottage in fantastic setting on a beautiful farm but close to the m4 and other major roads for exploring the area.”

Would benefit from a barbecue outside and some instructions/ useful information. Cleanliness could have been a little better, kitchen worktops were a little dirty on arrival as was the fridge which let down the super dressing of the cottage.

- Mrs Bradley, June 2018
“Wiltshire is a stunning County, which is why we chose this 'away from it all' break.”

We anticipated beautiful timeless, greystone villages and elegant historic towns. What we were not ready for was 'Woodman's Cottage'. It's beautiful, spacious features, extremely comfortable furnishing (both living and bedroom areas) are aimed at one thing to provide for the visitor everything they require for total comfort. With a rich agenda of sights to see, places to visit, it was SO comforting to know that the cottage was there to welcome our weary return and provide such comfort each evening. The superb showers were a big hit! Martin Lewis, the owner, made us immediately feel at home; making himself available for information, guidance and any assistance we might have required. All this on top of providing for the weary new inhabitants, a dozen organic eggs, milk, tea and coffee. Nothing was too much trouble for him! Visitors could not ask for a better host! We will certainly be returning to Woodman's Cottage; if there is a vacancy! This is our first experience of Sykes Cottages and on the strength of this, we could not recommend the company highly enough! Thank you so much for a very special experience.

- Mrs Ditta, June 2018
“We followed the directions provided with ease and found the farm which has quite a drive with goats and chicken on either side.”

The property looked lovely and once inside we were very impressed. The cottage was well presented, with all the amenities we needed for our week away. Milk, organic eggs, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits were provided so we didn't need to go off shopping straight away. Within the cottage there was plenty of hot water, the bed was very comfortable ensuring that you were well rested for the next day, the bathroom has a very powerful shower and underfloor heating. We loved opening the curtains in the morning to see the cows from the rear of the cottage. Martin introduced himself on our first afternoon telling us about the cottage and local area and told us to call him if we needed anything. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this lovely cottage to our friends and family.

- Mr Page, May 2018
“This is a lovely cottage, very tastefully decorated and furnished.”

All the fittings were of a high standard and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our week's stay there and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

- Mrs Daniels, April 2018
“This is a fabulous cottage.”

Beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds and quality bed linen. Also both ensuites have fantastic showers. It's very peaceful and a lovely base for touring the Cotswolds and surrounding areas. We had a warm welcome from Martin and he checked in on us the next day to make sure we were happy with everything. There was a welcome tray with coffee, tea and biscuits and milk in the fridge. There was also a dozen organic eggs left for us which were delicious. Our hosts were also very kind as to leave an abundance of Easter eggs as we stayed over the Easter holidays. Greatly appreciated by our daughter and myself! This is somewhere I can see us staying time and time again. I can't recommend Woodmans Cottage enough.
