Setting on the deck and having morning coffee and evening drinks. Plenty of villages near by that you can walk to and enjoy the scenery.

This property is magnificent. It is decorated in excellent taste--with a few splendid camp touches. Furniture and fixtures are all high quality. There is a beautiful garden where you can doze, listening to the stream, watch birds, or read. It is situated in a small village of handsome buildings, including a green. No stores. Just homes. It is easy to get to Cirencester, the nearest large town with excellent marketing facilities and restaurants. The owners deal expeditiously with any issue that arises.

This cottage was perfectly situated to allow us to visit all the places we wanted to see - Salisbury, Bath, Oxford and the Cotswolds area generally. There was so much more we could have done if we had more time as the whole area is so beautiful. The house was perfect for my husband and I, and his mum who was travelling with us. The upstairs bedroom with little winding staircase suited us well and downstairs was good for her - both have lovely bathrooms. There are several different levels in the flooring even downstairs so it wouldn't be suitable for very elderly folk, but we loved it. The garden and setting is lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked being able to cook for ourselves, but also enjoyed excellent food at the nearby pub in Barnsley. It's worth booking for their restaurant as some nights it gets busy! The parking is great but the roads in and out of the property are small (by Australian standards) and best suited to a smaller car - but possible in a standard size sedan (with wife guiding you!). I would certainly book here again; it was all I had hoped for!
