The Experience

A pretty village, a charming cottage; you’ll sleep soundly in what was once the old forge. Step through the grand oak door into a light and airy open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. The beamed ceiling soars above you, ancient chimneys have been cleverly restyled; in an old doorway a wood-burner (with logs on tap) keeps away chills, as does the underfloor heating. Cosy up on plump beige sofas with spotty cushions while the cook beavers away in the kitchen: they’ll be happy with the double oven and all the mod cons. You get extra glasses and crockery, a picnic set, travel cot, fresh flowers, a barbecue. Eat at the oak dining table (or outside in your own little gravelled garden with colourful tubs). Immaculate bedrooms are down a couple of steps: both overlook the well-kept courtyard and the owners home; one has an en suite, there’s an extra bathroom and a handy laundry room. Wander the fruit-laden orchard, find the village playing fields and explore further for gentle walks through woods and farmland. Nearby eateries are plentiful: from pub grub to Michelin stars. Relaxing.

Reviews

Flora, London

I cannot recommend Anvil Cottage highly enough. Gill and Andrew were so welcoming and ensured our stay was perfect from beginning to end. The cottage was beautiful; so spacious, clean, comfy and well equipped - every detail had been considered. Biddestone is charming and accommodated for the perfect mix of quiet time in the countryside with trips out to nearby attractions such as Bath. Anvil Cottage was a real find and we will be returning!


Mark, London

Our second stay and Gill could not be more accommodating to us and our guests. The accommodation is spacious, warm and comfortable. Two lovely bedrooms with very comfortable bed. The kitchen is very well equipped. Beautiful village and location. Very close to Bath and historic properties.


Ginny, Arundel

We loved our stay at Anvil Cottage. It was the perfect place to keep warm and cosy during the winter weather. It’s a really glamorous and luxurious conversion of an Old Forge with incredibly comfortable beds, underfloor heating, a high tech kitchen and 5 star hotel style bathrooms. We can’t wait to return next year!


Tim, Melksham

Anvil cottage is a really luxurious and beautifully renovated Old Forge. We stayed here as a family with my two children on two separate occasions and thoroughly recommend it. All the beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms are of an exceptionally high standard. It’s the perfect place to stay in a beautiful Wiltshire village, surrounded by lovely countryside and a perfect base from which to explore Bath.


Anne and Geoff, Perth West Australia

Sawdays properties have never let us down, and Anvil Cottage was no exception! Blissfull beds and high quality furnishings, and the luxury of two bathrooms. The garden was enchanting, as was the village of Biddestone, with local pubs only a walk across the green, with cute little ducks waddling around. Heavenly, thank you.
