“Pretty cottage in an understandably busy tourist spot so be prepared for people looking through your window / taking photos!”
Adjacent to a pretty churchyard, plus church with bells which ring on the hour. Nice cottage garden at the back of the property to sit out in. Access is also granted to the grounds of the hotel with a beautiful giant sequoia on site. We didn't have any problems with access, even on the day of a wedding.
Owner very easy to contact and deal with. Really nice welcome pack, which accommodated intolerances - thank you.
Very well-equipped kitchen, with everything you need should you wish to cook, though there are no shortage of pubs nearby for food.
Superficially clean, especially bed linen, towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, glasses and crockery.
Dusty in parts e.g., beams, skirting boards, around / underneath some of the furniture, plus some dusty cobwebs around the property. We asked for a second clean to be performed, which was accommodated quickly and partially completed.
This is the countryside, so we had some guests in the form of pill lice, spiders and flies, but there is a very large UV-light fly zapper in the kitchen which will deal efficiently with anything airborne.
Great base from which to access lots of nice places easily, e.g. Bath, Longleat, Salisbury, Wells, and we also ventured down to the New Forest which was lovely.
Wi-Fi worked well considering the rural position of the cottage, no phone signal with our network provider, but the owner provides a landline for essential calls.
Thank you for your comprehensive feedback comments. Castle Combe is certainly a very pretty and popular village. The cottage does have the advantage of being situated within the private grounds of the hotel, so is more secluded than other areas of the village may be. We are pleased that you felt well accommodated for by the attentive owner, especially the welcome pack for your dietary needs. The beautiful 400 year old cottage has many character features crafted from natural materials, such as wooden beams and stone walls. Your comments have been taken onboard by the housekeeper. She does pride herself in the upkeep of the property and receives excellent scores in the cleanliness of the cottage. We are glad that you had the opportunity to explore further afield in this beautiful area.
