What our customers say about their holidays
Mr Williams - Verified booking
Trailside is a cosy cottage sleeping 4 just off the camel trail. Its in a great location for a 2 mile stroll or bike ride into Padstow, or a longer trek in the other direction to Wadebridge. A nice touch was to be left some cornish team, coffee and buscuits. The cottage has a spiral stair case and you definitely have to mind your head when entering the hobbit sized door into the loft bedroom. If you are an adult, using the upstairs toilet standing up is challenging due to the low ceiling. Even with good lighting and reminders be prepared to bump your head :) So you will need to keep a close eye on small children and I would not recommend it for anyone less mobile. Generally its well kitted out with a respectable Kitchen and downstairs bathroom but some of the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired. Lack of tumble dryer is probably less of an issue in summer months, but don’t forget to bring your own hair dryer as the cottage does not provide one for your use. If you want to go off grid its a good option as the internet is 1.3mbps making browsing the web difficult if not impossible. You can’t stream anything. Again, with children no internet is a problem. (I think the owner is improving this)

What a fabulous place to stay.
The property has everything we needed and was in such a peaceful location. The hot tub was the cherry on the cake. The owners were lovely and made us feel so welcome. All the little items provided at the start of our holiday were a lovely touch. There is nothing to fault and I really hope we will be back next year. You get used to the narrow roads and they are worth it for the beautiful location of the property. It was a real wrench to leave and we had such a relaxing time. There are a couple of lovely pubs a few minutes drive away situated on Bow Creek another lovely setting. I recommend The Maltsters Arms for great food and service (Keith Floydâs old pub). The hosts were so helpful with where to go and what to do and we made the most of the advice. Most places less than 20 miles away and little more than 30 minutes drive. We visited Dartmouth, Totnes, Salcombe, Bantham, East Prawlthorpe, Gara Rock and Hope Cove to name a few. Great coastal walks with stunning views. The Round Robin trip was also a great day out with open top bus from Totnes, Steam Train, Ferry, a stop in Dartmouth and a Dart river cruise back to Totnes. Highly recommended it. A perfect holiday in a perfect property

Such a lovely, clean, cosy cottage!
We were welcomed by the owner on arrival and we knew that they were always available if needed, but they left us to enjoy our holiday in peace. Although we were staying during the week of Storm Dennis, the cottage was always warm and cosy, with an extra radiator and electric fan heater available if necessary. The shower worked well - nice and clean and with ample supplies of hot water. The little kitchen had all we needed and we also could have used a washing machine in the adjoining workshop if we had so wished. We loved the beams and character of this cottage and felt totally at home and at ease from the start. The bed was very comfortable and clean, with a really snuggly duvet and soft, fluffy pillows. Outside, there is a good sized back lawn and garden, shared with the other cottage, which I imagine will be a lovely sun trap in the summer and which was perfect for walking our dog first thing in the morning. As a base for exploring Wiltshire, this was the perfect place to stay and Urchfont itself is absolutely gorgeous - all red brick and thatch, with a village pub and duck pond - idyllic! We would certainly recommend The Pottery for a relaxing and romantic holiday.

This was a lovely cottage in rural Wiltshire.
Great base for exploring the Cotswolds and ancient historical sites. The owners were very helpful and available throughout the stay. The cottage stays nice and cool under the tree canopy and the Milky Way can be seen on a clear night. There were many little woodland creatures and even a green woodpecker, vole and wood mouse rustled in the garden. Only a couple of thoughts to make it great for dogs would perhaps be a small closing gate on the back garden to enclose little rascals like mine in so that they canât escape to the road. I had to keep my runaway on his lead. Plus just a thought to swap the tub chair for a squishier chair. I suffer with health problems and had a bit of body pain from sitting in this chair. So a squishier chair would add more comfort to the stay. Maybe a couple more mugs too just to make it a really relaxing holiday as the mugs run out quickly so more washing up to do. I know itâs lazy but itâs a holiday! I saw an iron but didnât find an ironing board. Perhaps a couple more glasses too tumbler style. But it was very pleasant. Very peaceful location, pretty village and very pleasant stay.

When we arrived the owners greeted us and showed us where they lived in the very nearby house and offered to help with any problems or queries which was nice.
The cottage style home was really quaint and pretty, the lounge part looked over the garden and the kitchen was off the lounge, so everything was easily accessible. The cooker was electric, so not the easiest to regulate but I got used to it. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the whole experience. The owners were very helpful as we took our dog Luther and they showed where local walks were. We were only around 3 miles from Devizes which we like very much, as we love the cafe near the canal, which is dog friendly. We also found The Milk Churn which is near Melksham, again dog friendly. We loved the pond in Urchfont which had lots of ducks swimming in it or walking around, very pretty. The village also has a post office and pub. We were given a reusable shopping bag with Urchfont on it, which we thought was a lovely reminder of our restful stay in Urchfont. Very pleasant and enjoyable stay.
