Charming 1660's Thatched Cottage.

This beautiful cottage is a listed building which retains many of its original features. Conservation is a priority and we use local craftsmen using traditional methods and materials to renovate this unique property.

It is set in the Lockeridge Dene (a dry valley), and is surrounded by fields full of Sarcen stones. In pre-historic times some of these stones were dragged 3 miles to make World Heritage Site, Avebury Stone Circle.

There are many other Neolithic sites to see in the area; West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill are among the best known locally. Stonehenge is about 25 miles away and an easy drive.

There is a bluebell woods just up the hill which is amazing in late spring, but beautiful anytime of the year. We are on the North Wessex Downs so it's great walking country. There is the National Cycle Route 45 a mile away, as well as good off road cycling. If you're not feeling energetic the cottage is very cosy and a great place to sleep, relax and rejuvenate. It has a beautiful English country garden with an guest area for you too use.

Marlborough is our nearest town about 3.5 miles away. It is a market town with a Waitrose and Tesco supermarket as well as great shops and restaurants including Rick Stein's Fish Restaurant, Indian and Italian restaurants. More locally there is the village pub which serves good food, or the Bell at Overton which is more of an Indian restaurant.

Marlborough hosts a music festivals in late July. There is also the Marlborough Summer School in July and August with a vast array of courses and Children's Activities.

Cute cottage stay
We loved our stay, the house was cute, tastefully decorated and true to the era it was built in, as per the photos. Jessica went out of her way to help us after we had transport difficulties and was an excellent host.

Family friendly
The house was ideal for our family group, 2 couples and 2 little ones. Host was exceptionally friendly and kind. Had a cot for the baby and actually purchased a highchair for our convenience as well. The location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds, Wiltshire, Stonehenge and Bath and all surrounds and close to easy access from London. Great local pubs and near a playground. Certainly recommend.

Chocolate box cottage
Delightful picturesque cottage in lovely quiet countryside. The cottage was clean and well supplied with all you might need. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful clean white bedding and when we arrived there was a welcoming log burning fire to greet us.

Perfect getaway
The cottage was quaint, cozy and comfortable. The stairs were quite steep, but easily navigated by our family. Jessica was very welcoming and gave us great tips on where to eat. Ours family enjoyed her friendly dogs.

Serene!
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here. The cottage is charming and immaculately clean. The beds are large and comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting in the garden and exploring the many footpaths nearby. Jessica was attentive and available whenever we needed something, but we also felt we had all the privacy we could want. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Wiltshire hideaway
A lovely 17th century attached house - all that you might expect but with all mod cons. Just the place to relax and unwind. Very pleasant unobtrusive owner lives next door. Friendly cows over the hedge wanting to say hello. We all need something like this!

Pure magic
Our family of five (mom and dad, kids aged 11, 9, and 6) stayed here for two beautiful days. This house is magical and our stay was 100% worth the drive from London. Scrupulously clean; comfortable beds; with all the kitchen amenities we needed. We spent a wonderful day exploring the neolithic sites of the Avebury World Heritage Site, which are very close by. A Waitrose is available for groceries in nearby Marlborough. There is a small playground across the street that our children really enjoyed. Our host Jessica was helpful, responsive, and kind. We cannot recommend this special place enough – would return in a heartbeat.

What a wonderful stay
This is a most idillic property.. Think the “The Holliday” cottage coupled with a wonderfully comfortable bed and ancient standing stones on the doorstep. Jessica is a wonderful host and made our stay very comfortable… when we arrived a roaring fire was set and a warm welcoming cottage. You really won’t go wrong

Amazing cottage with lots of amenities
We were so pleasantly surprised by the cottage! The pictures don’t do it justice. A gorgeous set up with a lovely log burner. Lots of amenities and the cottage was so well equipped, they’d thought of everything. Would definitely recommend and would visit again

Heaven on Earth
Words and pictures are not enough to properly convey the tranquility and magic of this cottage. So peaceful and relaxing, this cottage was exactly what the doctor ordered. Waking up to the horses grazing in the pasture across the road, and the endless walking trails all around. Every evening we lit a fire and curled up on the couch. I wish I never had to leave. We are already talking about returning again and again in the future.
