Edington Cottages - Hillside Cottage

Wellies, waxed jackets and walking sticks are waiting to be taken on some fabulous walks along with your dog, the kitchen is bursting with kit and you can ask for everything in advance – a fully stocked fridge, an honesty bar in the Trailhead Cabin, even a private chef. But the food at the pub is seasonal, local and delicious so you could have all your meals there, including breakfast. Pop into the farm shop for stocking up and buying gifts; order spa treatments, foraging courses or history tours.

Bedrooms (one downstairs) are hugely comfortable with en suite showers like steam rooms, Bramley soaps and lotions, fluffy towels and robes – this feels like staying at a posh hotel with family or friends. Spill out on warm evenings to the garden, cool off in the plunge pool, warm up in the hot tub or sauna.

Walk or bike through woodlands onto Salisbury Plain, return to light the fire pit, try out some home-brewed beers, watch the night skies.
