  A lovely comfortable property in a great location.

  Only a couple of small issues prevented us from giving this the 5 stars it should deserve: 1. There was an issue with the key box when we arrived so we couldn't get in as the box was jammed. We phoned the emergency contact and this was quickly sorted out but after a long journey this wasn't the best start. 2. The property description said it was a large private drive. It is, but it is shared with another property which I believe should be made clear. The people staying in the other property did not have a dog and would leave the front gates open which caused us a bit of stress as we wouldn't know when they were coming in and out and we had to be extra cautious before letting our dog out. Also, there was no fencing off between the properties so if someone else did have a dog you would need to be careful if you didn't want them to mix with yours. 3. There was a paddock at the back which we were hoping to run our dog around and also play some badminton in. Sadly the area is not maintained and the grass is extremely overgrown. We have a dachshund and they are prone to back issues (if you have a taller dog you'd be fine) and he had to jump to try and move forwards so we gave up before he hurt himself and obviously you couldn't use it for badminton either. 4. I don't know if it was just because of the weather or the fact it is an older property but there must have been at least 50 spiders who had made themselves at home. One of our party is an extreme arachnophobe so we shoo'd out as many as we could but it did feel like a losing battle as more kept appearing during the week. Overall, we loved the property (the facilities in the utility room were perfect for cleaning up the dog after a long wet walk) and its location and the Salutation Inn next door does amazing food

  The property is beautiful and we really enjoyed our family christmas stay, but the downstairs of the house was cold, for the size of the rooms the underfloor heating is not enough to warm the rooms especially the main lounge during the winter.

  We couldn’t even tell it was on. We hardly sat in there as it was always cold. It’s such a shame the wood burner is not in use as i feel that would have warmed up the areas lovely. Unfortunately for us it was very windy during our stay and some of the windows were very droughty which also didn’t help in some of the rooms. There was also no tv in the main lounge and felt it was a waste of such a lovely area. It didn’t feel at all cosy. The property is advertised as having two televisions but there is only one in the games room. Not sure why the room is advertised as a games room, it is a second lounge with the tv in it. Unfortunately, the tv is not tuned into terrestrial tv but luckily my son-in - law had netflix. This is also a lovely room and found it to be the warmest room downstairs. Upstairs is lovely, and with the radiators it was nice and warm, but the far bedroom windows were also very droughty. The main bedroom ensuite smelt very musty when we arrived, but it did get better with use. This might need addressing. All in all the place is beautiful and in a lovely location and we loved it. The reason for the 4 stars is that during winter we felt the downstairs needs more heating for the size of the rooms, curtains at some windows for the droughts and maybe a radio or a cd player as the only entertainment is in the far lounge.

  The Fox Den Cottage is the best cottage I have ever been to in England.

  It is comfortable, cosy, has all the amenities readily available and the kitchen is spectacular, with a view of the garden and birds playing about on the lawn and in the branches near the bird feeders. The rooms are warm and comfortable with beds that you simply melt into and sleep soundly at the end of a fun day of walking around the idyllic village of Castle Combe or visiting the surrounding villages and towns. The location of the Fox Den Cottage is perfect, 20 minute drive from a very convenient Morrisons SuperStore in Chippenham, 10 minute walk from the Market Cross in Castle Combe, and next to some very lovely farmland that is quiet and soothing to the eyes with its green pastures. The owners of the cottage are extremely helpful and their hospitality is top-notch, even providing special little extras in the cottage for the guests to discover. We had a lot of fun in the cottage itself and it was great to sit down by the fire at the end of the day with a cup of tea and enjoy a nice chat by the warmth. Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended, to anyone visiting the Cotswolds or seeking a nice restful holiday in Wiltshire, this cottage should be Number 1 on your list.

  Beautiful property.

  Well situated near Castle Combe and accessible to all major roads nearby. Plenty of off street and secure parking. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms as well as two ample sized living rooms. The kitchen had all the facilities needed and ample crockery and cutlery as well as a lot of storage space. Just a few minor issue that would make this the perfect property and which could be easily rectified: 1. The blind in one of the bedrooms did not function properly but could be easily fixed with the right tools 2. The listing specified 2 x Smart TVs. There was only one provided and this did not have a television box hence we were unable to access terestial television. 3. Only 2 dishwasher tablets were provided. We had to wash dishes every day. These need replenishing if dishes are to be washed properly every day. 4. The key box was old and not functional. Once we had accessed the key we could not close the key box. A more modern one similar to that of the Stables opposite should be provided. 5. The garden area around the property needs maintaining. It was very overgrown, which was a shame because it had the makings of a lovely peaceful area

  This property is an absolute delight, you feel really cosy and relaxed there.

  It is a pity there is no heater in the bathrooms, they are cold. As an old house, we unfortunately faced a power failure. It could have been resolved right away but Sykes customer service was inefficient and did not urge to resolve the problem. They just follow up with troubleshooting tickets number and emails, phone calls, but no real solution unless I personally insist and showing my disappointment . Too bad because the property has lovely owners, who felt very sorry for us. I would definitely come back, hoping I could rent through another agency. This wonderful place deserves a much nicer exposure. Excellent in every aspect. The beddings are so comfortable you literally melt into your bed.the sheets were so perfect too ! It was definitely a dreamy home.
