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

Dominic, Oberaegeri

Absolutely gorgeous cottage, full of character and in a wonderful location. The cottage has a quite splendid front door, a spacious living room full of character and a really well stocked kitchen. The orchard was in full bloom as was the garden and it felt like another world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Great location to do day trips to Avebury and the villages around Bath. Plus great pubs and hiking in the vicinity. Gill was most welcoming - we really enjoyed our 1 week stay and look forward to returning in the future. Dominic and Kate


MICHAEL

Highly recommendable! We stayed during a long weekend early December '14 and found this place exceeding our expectations. Very clean, roomy, modern appliances, comfortable furniture, stylish décor with attention to detail, and quirky boutique feel thanks to the love the owners have taken care of the place with. The "Welcome!" hamper and flowers set us off on the right foot and naturally the owners were very helpful with a little boiler glitch on departure day, which did not dampen our positive impressions we left our home for almost a week with. Meets even "high German expectations"! :)
