What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage itself was quaint and comfortable.

  When we arrived at 3pm on December 22nd we couldn't work out where the published parking for 2 cars was. We went into the Social Club where we found out it was in an alley where they put their empty metal containers. We went into the cottage and it was freezing in there. No heating had been turned on and no instructions how to use it or appliances, necessary if you are from another country. I called the number in the book but just got static, and then the phone was hung up. We found the controller, but it didn't work. Again, we went into the club where a customer came upstairs, thought the batteries were dead, and got some from his van. Then problem solved, heating worked. The stairs were very not very people friendly. Should have had another handrail on the other side. Dangerous if young children are staying there. The day before we were leaving, when we got back to the cottage in the evening, we found a car in our parking place and no other space available. When we went into the club, we were told the 2 parking spaces listed for Milford Cottage were actually to be shared with another one. Luckily, one of the customers was leaving the club, so we were told we could take his spot. Lastly, we couldn't lock the lock box, so we called the number again and said we were leaving the key on the dining table and the door open.

  Shutts House Garden Apartment surpassed our expectations.

  It’s even nicer in reality than it looks in the photos; so spacious and luxurious, offering every facility we could have wished for during our stay. The beds were fantastically comfortable and everywhere was immaculately clean. Nigel was the perfect host. He emailed us a week before our stay with ample helpful information including directions, general information about the property itself, plus various useful tips on local places to eat and visit. He also provided us with a lovely welcome pack of goodies. As mentioned in the listing, Nigel lives upstairs in the property with a separate access, but we never once felt observed at any time during our stay. He manages to strike the perfect balance of being welcoming (he popped round to say hello upon arrival and check we were ok) whilst also being extremely discrete and allowing us total privacy. We found Coombe Bissett to be a small but picturesque village with lovely dog walks over Coombe Bissett Down right on the doorstep. I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

  Perfect little getaway!

  Beautiful location, clean home and great facilities. We booked this place as a last resort due to being let down with the previous property, but we were not disappointed with the outcome. Ardsley Cottage turned out to be a much better option. The kitchen has all the things you would need (a few more cleaning supplies would be handy), with a dining room attached where you can sit round a lovely big table to enjoy a meal together. Moving into the spacious living room, you find big comfy sofas to sit and relax in, along with a smart TV. Upstairs there were 3 bedrooms set up with bath and hand towels for each guest and 3 laundry bags to pack away bedding at check out. The large bathroom was great for showers or baths (bathroom lock wasn't working). Finally leaving the best till last ... the GARDEN. Incredible scenery surrounding the house with the added bonus of the hot tub (with British weather, it could do with a gazebo of sorts to provide shelter from strong winds or rain). Highly recommend this property!!

  We came as a family of six, plus 2 year old toddler, we all agreed we would love to return to this fantastic property.

  Great to meet owner Nigel who provided lovely local produced foody items, and everything needed to make guests welcome. Super size beds, so comfy. Beautiful, spotlessly clean, stylish house. Lovely well kept garden, with lots of outdoor furniture and space for grandson Oliver to enjoy the fantastic weather we had. Thank you also to Nigel, for providing an inflatable bed for toddler Oliver. Village post office just a short walk away, which provides essentials, very friendly staff too….Location great for touring surrounding areas, we visited Salisbury, Stonehenge & Corfe Castle and a little local farm with animals for children to pet. Also great walks close to the house and well equipped children’s play park. Thank you again Nigel, for making fabulous memories of our family holiday to Wiltshire. We would definitely recommend this beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️holiday home. Dee Douglas and family

  The cottage is tastefully decorated and was lovely and warm on arrival.

  The 2 double bedrooms are very generous in space with comfy beds. The larger bedroom has a smaller bedroom coming off it that contains bunk beds, fine for children. The cottage was very clean with all amenities that you would need in the kitchen. The dining table is quite small but we were fine eating on our laps. The cottage is owned and run by a community social club which is a lovely addition to the property. The staff there were super friendly and invited us to attend their New Year’s Eve gathering with live music. Our teenage children were very happy as there is a full size pool and snooker table and a dartboard plus it is dog friendly. The area is lovely, plenty of walks including one alongside a golf course accessible just 5 mins walk up the road. We highly recommend the Palfrey restaurant and the Ice Cream cafe, both a 6 min walk away. Highly recommend this property and would return.
