Well equipped cottage in a really good location. Great for visits to National Trust, Corsham Court, Bowood Estate & other gardens etc. Good sized bedroom with a comfortable bed & good shower. The parking is a slight issue, particularly if there is another car on the drive. The best way to park is to pull up outside on the road & then reverse onto the drive & pull forward into the space. The road can be very busy. It would also be helpful to be able to reverse the car back to the cottage to unload on arrival & load again when leaving as it is not easy to navigate through the side door, especially in the rain! That said I would still recommend the cottage, it was nice to come back to after a day out in the less than summer temperatures! Thank you for the milk & biscuits etc, greatly appreciated.

The lodge is clean comfortable and well equipped. It is central for town amenities. The host provided maps and leaflets regarding places of interest as well as games and dvds for extra entertainment, in fact I believe they had thought of everything! We hope to go again as there is so much we have still to do!
