“Beautiful Cottage in a Beautiful.”

quiet village.

quiet village. Only minor negative comment would be that a few more basics would be appreciated like washing up liquid, kitchen roll, cooking oil, as we wouldn't normally take those on holiday with us. Still 10/10 tho & we'd stay here again on our next break in Wiltshire.

“Wonderful cottage .”

This is the third time in Winterbourne cottage. So clean and well equipped. A lot to see in the area. But we missed a visit to “The Black dog” . The pub is closed

- Mrs Christensen, August 2019
“Lovely, comfortable cottage which was spotless.”

Was pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the kitchen was, and how comfortable the beds were. The garden was very well maintained, well stocked with sweet-smelling flowers and extremely quiet, and the village itself was an unspoilt gem of thatched cottages around an interesting church. Also lots of good walks in the area. Just a couple of, what I hope are, helpful suggestions: you might consider changing the website info to explain there IS a freezer (I had to ask) and to take off mention of the local pub (because it's closed). In addition I didn't know if towels would be provided... We also found that every night when one of us wanted a shower at, say, 11.30pm the water was stone cold. We then had to put on the immersion heater for half an hour, which meant getting to bed later than hoped...while wondering if you were going to charge for extra electricity used (since you make it clear any gas heating used would be charged for). We never found out when the heating came on in the 'early evening' but if we washed a few saucepans after supper and then relaxed for a couple of hours before bed there was no hope of a hot bath. [You're more than welcome to publish the first para above, and hold back the second, if you wish]

“Lovely, comfortable house, out of this world!”

Spacious with a lovely garden. Food at bistro in Fonthill Bishop excellent, great views and walks from Win Green. Thank you for providing a great get-away-from-it-all place.

- Mr & Mrs Gallagher,
“We booked via "Hideaways" and the service was trouble-free.”

The property was surprisingly spacious for a two bedroomed cottage; it was cosy and well-equipped. The garden was pretty and well kept. The only surprise was that gas and electricity were not included in the price, but were calculated at the end of our stay.\ Chilmark is a very quiet village - no street lighting - but it does have a lovely pub with good food. There are lots of nice walks nearby and cycling is probably an attractive proposition. It's 12 miles to Salisbury which is definitely worth one or two visits. The nearest small town for shopping is Tisbury, 3 miles away via a very minor road. Tisbury also has a rail station and is on the line from Waterloo.

- Guest's review on TripAdvisor,
“Booking was easy and was very professionally handled, although I was a bit puzzled why it was not possible, even in off-season, to book from Sunday to Sunday - we had to leave on Saturday although no new guests were arriving that day.”

The amenities of the cottage were exactly as described and pictured on the website - best I've ever had in a self-catered cottage. However, the instructions on how to get the central heating running (found in a folder in the cottage) could have been clearer. The location in the small village of Chilmark is lovely, and it's easy to get to the nearby cities and sightseeing spots such as Salisbury and Stonehenge by car. The village pub is highly recommended as well!

“Coming back to WInterbourne Cottage was like coming home.”

It was lovely to spend Christmas and New Year here. We will return soon.

- The Christensons,
“The cottage is simply fantastic: equipped with everything, clean and tidy, we could not have wished for better, the couple who run it are very friendly and helpful.”

We recommend it to everyone!!

- Italian guests' review on TripAdvisor,
“We enjoyed the spacious feel of the cottage.”

..have been in much smaller two beds. Will look back fondly on our holiday here.

- Mr & Mrs Pavry,
“What a lovely home!”

We spent a wonderful week in this charming, well equipped house which is perfectly located between the glorious sights of Stonehenge, Salisbury and Bath. After sightseeing, we could return to this quiet oasis on the countryside. Amazing!

- The Vogt Schnabel Family from Germany,
“Winterbourne Cottage is so quiet and peaceful and the garden lovely and secluded.”

The village and surrounding area are stunning.

The property

Appealing in looks, Winterbourne Cottage is a charming and deceptively spacious place in which to enjoy a short break or longer holiday.

Set on the edge of the picturesque Wiltshire village of Chilmark, guests will enjoy spending time being part of this small rural community with a visit to the local pub or a walk around its quiet, leafy lanes.

Perfectly positioned for visiting Stonehenge which is 25 minutes away.

Salisbury, 30 minutes & the stunning National Trust property Stourhead Gardens.

Once inside, you'll find a bright and airy Living Room with French windows opening out onto a delightful rear garden, a lovely place to sit and listen to the hum of the bees as you enjoy a quiet drink or two.

A mix of traditional and modern furnishings gives a sense of times gone by while at the same time ensuring guests have all the comforts they need to be able to relax.

A good choice for families or couples alike.

The surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and gently undulating chalk downland provides wonderful walking opportunities, while there are also many delightful places to visit, such as picturesque Stourhead, historic Shaftesbury, Longleat, ancient Stonehenge, or the magnificent cathedral city of Salisbury.
