“This was a fantastic property and an excellent base to explore the surrounding area.”
Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We booked Moat Cottage to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday because she loved living in the same cottage and Britford village when she was a child.”

It was wonderful - the cottage has been carefully extended to provide a modern kitchen and bathrooms yet retains the original cottage layout, features and charm. She was thrilled. We had lots of fun re-creating photos of our family at the cottage 70 years ago with our family today! We arrived late in the evening but the owners had ensured that the cottage was warm and fully prepared. The kitchen is very well equipped - we wanted for nothing. The garden is lovely and I imagine would be great for a barbecue on a summer's day with the kitchen open to the garden. Britford is still a beautiful and unspoilt village, the Saxon church is just along the lane and Robert's Farm Tea Shop just a short stroll away is also lovely. We felt as if we had stepped back in time by 100 years but with all the home comforts of today. Compliments to the owners for taking such care over everything.

“The Moat Cottage was fantastic; we all had such a great time and left with heavy hearts.”

If you could pass on our thanks to the owners I would be grateful. Fabulous cottage and we will definitely return.

The property

The Moat Cottage is a detached property which was formerly the gardener's residence to an historic moat house.

The property lies in the tranquil and ancient village of Britford situated on the banks of the River Avon 3 miles to the southeast of Salisbury.Britford has one of the oldest Saxon churches in the country.

From the village you have a commanding view of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral and a 15 minute stroll along a riverside footpath will take you to the centre of the City.

This is an idyllic setting to experience both town and country.

The Cottage stands next door to the owner's house but enjoys a completely private plot together with a secluded patio, garden and off-street parking.

A significant amount of care has been taken by the owners to preserve the original character and features of the cottage while at the same time, providing stylish and 'state-of-the-art' accommodation.

Their efforts have won awards and you will be charmed by the original brickwork, small pane windows, original internal shutters, and exposed beams.

The Cottage has under floor heating, top of the range kitchen and bathroom appliances, traditionally made George Smith furniture and Porta Romana lamps.
