“All round great cottage, excellent facilities, host very friendly and helpful.”

Great pub opposite. Good roads to local visitor attractions too.

“Lovely cottage and surroundings, everything provided that we needed.”

Very pleasant and helpful owner. Regarding Sykes I initially booked the cottage for a long weekend then extended it for a week, for which I had to pay another booking fee which seemed harsh as it was an extension and not a new booking.

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that the cottage provided you with everything you needed. We will pass your feedback through to Sykes regarding the booking fee. Manor Cottages. Owner relations

“You told us that there was a garden with this property.”

However, there was no private garden. Also, the cottage was next to a very busy, noisy main road. We were expecting it to be a very quiet cottage with a garden so that we could relax and have a bbq. Due to the situation it was not possible, so a bit of a disappointment. Not sure we would use Sykes again as not accurate details were given to us.

The property

Stable Cottage stands in the grounds of an impressive Grade II listed mansion in the small village of Worton, 6 miles from the attractive market town of Devizes.

Stylishly presented, the accommodation comprises the smaller part of the former Carriage House, which has been carefully restored by its current owners.

Ideal for families or friends to explore this gorgeous part of Wiltshire.

Guests will have access to parts of the extensive grounds surrounding the main house, including use of the hard tennis court, the adjoining, secluded walled garden and former deer park beyond.

The main house and garden is of considerable architectural and historical interest.

Built in the early 20th century, it was reputedly used by Churchill, Eisenhower and Sikorsky for secret meetings during the 2nd World War.

Enter into a modern, recently refurbished and well equipped kitchen (which also gives access to a separate w.c.).

On the ground floor there is a large and very comfortable lounge area with open fire, dining table and comfortable seating for 6 guests.

On this floor you will also find a single bedroom.

Upstairs you will find two further bedrooms; a large room with king-size double, and a room which can also be set up as a king-size double or 2 single beds (please advise of your preference at the time of booking).

On this floor you will also find the family bathroom (bath with shower over, w.c.

and wash basin).

Outside, enjoy a cobbled courtyard garden area immediately in front of the cottage with garden furniture as well as access to parts of the grounds around the main house.

The house provides an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions of this fascinating part of Wiltshire.

The area is rich in prehistoric sites such as Avebury Stone Circle, Silbury Hill and Kennet Long Barrow and is also of interest for its industrial past Crofton Beam Engines and a working windmill at Wilton.

Narrow boat trips can be enjoyed on the nearby Kennet and Avon Canal and there is plenty of good walking on Salisbury Plain with immediate access onto a public footpath from the house.

The historic towns of Bradford-on-Avon, and Marlborough, well known for their antique shops, pubs and restaurants, are a short drive from Worton,while the Georgian city of Bath, a World Heritage site, the cathedral city of Salisbury and Stonehenge are within half an hours' drive.Further afield, The Cotswolds and Oxford are within reach for a day's excursion.
