Roan Cottage

Very clean, had everything I needed for a lovely stay, very dog friendly peaceful location with Lydriard Park just down the road.

The cottage was warm, clean and very comfortable.

The beds and bedding was perfect which led to a wonderful sleep. Its location was ideal for Swindon and surrounding areas. It was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The WiFi was good and fast. All in all I would rate it 10 out of 10. We will certainly stay here again.

Es ist eine wunderschöne Unterkunft.

So ruhig gelegen aber doch alles in kürzester Zeit erreichbar. Sehr schön war auch das Hunde Paket mit Näpfen und Handtüchern. Die vielen Prospekte halfen vor allem bei den Ausflügen und der Garten wurde von unserem Hund geliebt. Wir würden immer wieder kommen.

We enjoyed our stay at Roan Cottage.

Although we did not meet the owners we appreciated them keeping in contact by text messages to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was very clean.

The cottage is spacious and comfortable enough and we appreciate the efforts to sustainability.

However, maintenance is poor. Creaking chairs, very uncomfortable sofas, outdated facitilities, no cleaning materials. The pictures of the cottage do not show the ugly backside right next to an enormous farm shed. No privacy as the only outdoor space is in front of the cottage facing the street. If one has to share the front garden with the tennants of the nextdoor cottage the owner could at least have planted some bushes to provide some privacy. And why let two cottages and then only provide one garden furniture set which one has to set up oneself, having to drag it through the cottage to the front garden? For us it was clear that the owner pays as less attention to the cottage and their customers as possible. That is not what we are used to when booking via Sykes.

We had a very comfortable week.

The cottage is ideally placed for exploring Wiltshire, and beyond. Facilities, generally, are great. If there was one negative, it would be the shower cubicle, which is quite small. Otherwise, very happy with our stay.

Had a really good and relaxing holiday and also like to thank the owners for the help they gave us.

Great property, well maintained with everything required to make our stay great.

Easy access for checking in and out. Thank you for providing a fantastic accommodation.

Property and amenities were great.

The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. We would certainly stay again.

Really lovely stay.

Well equipped kitchen, nicely furnished and it was really cosy. The enclosed garden was great for our children and dog.

had a wonderful stay would be better with a kingsize bed but we survied the cottage has everything we needed we equipted and spaceious alison and simon were easy to contact over all lovley quiet place

We stayed in Roan over the Christmas holiday, the cottage is clean and has everything for a perfect break including good Wi-Fi.

The cottage is very close to a large park with lovely dog walks, a playground and cafe but also very close to Swindon for retail therapy. Alison is in regular contact if you need anything. This is our third stay and every time has been excellent . We also booked Brindle cottage next door if you need a family get together

Nice cottage, great location for dog walking.

Beautiful Lydiard Park a quick walk away. Enjoyed our stay. Good facilities, everything we needed.

The cottage is nearby a beautiful Lydiard Park.

The cottage is very clean and with a fenced garden at front wich is nice for dogs.

Roan cottage was very comfortable and pleasant.

There was everything we needed, the owners were very friendly. There was plenty to do in the area. This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending it.

A lovely cottage with a warm welcome.

The cottage was clean & had all needed for a comfortable enjoyable stay. A quiet ideal position to travel around the area. The owner did not bother us in person but sent an email on our arrival to check all was well & to wish us an enjoyable stay which gave a personal touch to our stay.

Excellent holiday property, set in Wiltshire country side, lots of dog walks, nice and quiet, accommodation had every thing you could need for a stay, very clean and well equipped, a selection of games for rainy days.

Had a nice and comfortable stay.

Owner was very accommodating. As the weather was bad, we made good use of the kitchen and board games.

This is definitely an amazing place to spend few days in cozy and quiet place.

Great cottage.

Everything there we needed. Response when the toilet broke was faultless.

We had a fantastic week at Roan Cottage.

Very friendly owners and a lovely area surrounding the cottage - perfect!

We have had the most brilliant stay thank you so much to Alison and Simon see you next year

Was a fantastic place to stay everything was spot on with the bungalow and even the little touches left for us and the dog.

Great place for a base and plenty of places to see and visit in the area or not too far away. Would highly recommend and would deffinetly book this place again. Thank you very much x

We had a lovely stay.

The cottage was homely and clean, well equipped with everything we needed. The owners were great, going extra length of posting our forgotten house keys. The area is nice with plenty of walking opportunities, exploring and family outings. We would higly reccomend.

Very spacious and well furnished property in a good location.

Convenient for walking in Lydiard Park. It was comfortable and warm (once the initial chill was off after the first day). M4 motorway wasn’t a problem at all, however the lane immediately outside the cottage was often very busy! A most pleasant stay - we would return.

Fantastic cottage very homely and perfect location We will be rebooting.

We had a wonderful stay at Roan Cottage.

It is situated on a farm with lovely outlook, but very close to both Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett. Hosts were lovely, very helpful and checked everything was OK when we arrived. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

Clean and comfortable cottage and the milk eggs and chocolate on arrival was welcome as were the dog treats for Sid.

Great idea to leave us dog towels too as we forgot to bring any which is unlike us. Thank you.

On the whole a good cosy cottage with very comfortable beds and ideally placed to visit various attractions in Wiltshire, however, the cottage would benefit from some new towels and bed linen as these were rather tired.

An extra lamp in the living room would also have been useful.

What a lovely place.

It’s super quiet with lots of lovely walks around, and also decent pubs too. The cottage was spacious enough for 2 adults, 2 children and a dog. The garden is perfect for the dog too. The owners were very accommodating, would definitely recommend

Perfect location, clean and well set up.

No fuss and easy to find. Much appreciated!

We had an amazing stay and the owners are fantastic - excellent cottage and location

Lovely property, well appointed, ideally located with both a beautiful park and a pub just down the road.

Easy access from the M4, easy access to Swindon. Brilliant location for cycling, walking or water sports. We had a lovely stay at the cottage which is spacious and beautifully decorated. Plenty of parking and easy to find. The directions on the website were spot on. Would highly recommend. The owners were also really lovely and the property was spotless. Such a great place to stay. Hope to come back soon

It was amazingly clean, well kept property!

We had everything we could want in the kitchen too cook for a family. I think the only thing I would add would be a coffee cafetière, but we highly recommend this property. Simon & Matthew were lovely. Thanks for a great stay. Paula LB

Second visit and will visit again.

Roan cottage is exactly as described in the listing. Well equipped cottage that makes for a very comfortable stay.

Had a great time at Roan Cottage.

A real feel of home from home. Very cosy and was short of nothing. Really enjoyed our stay and will definately be returning. Thank you.

This was our second stay in a warm and comfortable cottage.

Ideally situated for exploring the area.

Lovely property, ideally located, very comfortable had a really lovely stay and would not hesitate to book again.

Place was fabulous exactly like description on Sykes website very clean comfortable.

Local to amenities and good base to travel sites around the citswolds and area. Was nice to entertain family who live local and would highly recommend this place and will definitely return. Excellent week away

Roan Cottage provided a very convenient base for exploring the south Cotswolds and beyond into Somerset.

The accommodation was fairly basic in comparison to our usual bookings but it was very good value being significantly cheaper than our usual options. It was clean, with a useful lawned garden for our dog and comfortable but we found the shower cubicle very small and the cooking facilities fairly basic. Overall, a well-located, comfortable cottage representing very good value.

A lovely, clean comfortable cottage in a beautiful part of the world.

We would love to come back sometime.

Roan Cottage was a very relaxing place for us to us as a base for the week and explore the wonderful activities and places of interest that Wiltshire and the Cotswold’s have to offer.

A hidden gem.

Fantastically well placed in a small hamlet outside Swindon.Easy access to Lydiard park to walk your Dog. The facilities are outstanding. Full Credit to Alison & Simon. Thank you so much

Lovely cottage everything you needed for a comfortable relaxing break

The floor was very slippery could do with a rug, but other than that, it's well equipped and very clean.

The owner was very helpful

Beautiful cosy cottage in a fantastic area, well equipped, love the open plan living area and two large bedrooms and a massive bathroom.

Plenty of lovely walks on the doorstep

Lovely stay

Beautiful 2 bedroom cottage on the outside of a farm with a few houses nearby - very quiet and peaceful - it also has Brindle Cottage attached to it - loads of space for 4 adults and a dog so not over crowded - shops about 3 miles away

The cottage was excellent, every thing clean, comfortable and well designed.

The only thing that was missed was the microwave and fridge needed a clean.

Had a lovely time perfect for a break away with our dogs.

Sykes has once again lived up to it's high standards.

We have never been let down by yourselves and were delighted to find Roan Cottage just as we had hoped. We would have stayed longer if we could. Alison and Simon (the owners) were friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to book another holiday with yourselves - Roan Cottage is high on the list!!!

What a great place to stay!

Quiet location next to a farm. Perfect for us. Comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped. It was a home from home. We would definitely like to find a reason to stay again. Great host, available to answer queries.

We enjoyed the are, it was so beautiful and so much history.

We had wonderful sunny weather and loved sitting outside in the evening watching the world go by. The owners were really friendly but not intrusive. We would definitely go back as it felt like home from home. So comfortable

We had a wonderful time at Roan Cottage!

Our son lives nearby and was getting married,we usually stay with him and his girlfriend but needed more space this time! Plenty of space in Roan Cottage for two adults,two teenagers and our dog. Superbly clean and super facilities- I iced and decorating the four tier wedding cake there. After the wedding we had time to visit nearby Avebury and Bristol, plus plenty of dog walking in Lydiard Park ,which is next to the cottage. Super touches such as text messages on arrival and departure to check all was okay, and biscuits,milk and eggs on arrival. Recommended highly!

Really nice cottage clean and comfortable and the owners didn’t bother us but made sure we were happy which was appreciated.

Lovely area plenty of places to visit.

The cottage was clean comforyable and well equiped.

The location was great for exploring North Wiltshire and beyond, close to Swindon, Royal Wootton Bassett Marlborough, Corsham and M4 for Bristol and Bath. Quiet location on a narrow road. Supermarkets close by and Wootton Bassett has a selection of smaller shops to wonder around.

From arrival to the end of our stay we were in complete relaxation.

Great location and hospitality and left to our own devices! Will definitely be coming back, very convenient for The Cotswolds and surrounding areas! Cottage is very clean and specious. Large garden with plenty space for your pets to roam! Thank you so much to Alison and Simon for having us. X

The only thing I can say about it was the cottage was excellent, one thing was odd, that everytime the lamp by the TV was switched on when the TV was on it turn the TV over to the DVD.

.

One of the best equipped cottages we have been to.

Owner made contact to ensure everything was ok. Park only a two minute walk away which is great with a dog yet you are only minutes away from the centre of town.

Lovely quiet place to stay, very handy for the M4

Roan Cottage was extemely clean and comfortable and when we arrived we found Alison and Simon had left us eggs, milk and apples from their garden.

They'd also left some doggie treats and a towel for my dog, Snoop, which has never happened in all the years we've used holiday cottages. I'd also sent a text asking about dog friendly pubs in the area and Alison had left us a hand written list which was very helpful. We'd definately recommend this cottage for it's home comforts, location and the thoughtfulness of it's owners.

Good location for day trips to Oxford, Bath or the Cotswalds.

Cottage very comfortable, had all amenities you need.

A thoughtfully, well-equipped, clean and very comfortable cottage; greeted with welcoming little extras.

The owners were unintrusive yet readily available if required. Beautiful location and a great touring base. A variety of supermarkets and restaurants a short drive away. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

This place was fantastic, a real home from home.

Lovely touch by the owners leaving some chocolate and some dog treats & they were very caring and attentive with calls and text messages. We loved it that much that we have already booked to go again next year. I would highly recommend this place as a base if you want to just relax and watch the world go by. You could also get to Bristol in 45 minutes which we did. Swindon is a few minutes away too. You can do as much or as little as you like.

Roan is a comfortably well equipped cottage,near to amenities, situated in a lovely part of England.

close to transport links.

A lovely holiday home just 2 homes together on a working farm - beautiful countryside - can get 2 a lot of places from here - it was home from home with everything that I'd need including washing machine and dish washer .

This was a great cottage especially for someone with restricted mobility.

It was in a great location, quiet clean and comfortable. The owners communication was great and the little extras were appreciated and a surprise. We enjoyed so much we have just booked it for next year

It was very pleasant and we met the owners who were very pleasant too.

We know the area well and it was therefore well situated for us.
