“The cottage has some damp issues as some parts of the walls were flaking & it smelt damp.”

The French doors could not be opened because of rotting woodwork. The view from the front window was marred by rubbish from the Benet Hotel, which to be fair the caretaker had asked them to remove. We have stayed in better for less & feel it is in need of a refurbishment. However its location in the village for shops, pubs & walks was very good.

- Mr Henbest, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on Mews Cottage. The owner has arranged for the property to be checked. They are aware of the rubbish from the hotel and have been in contact with the County Council to try and get this resolved. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Owner relations

“Lovely, snug cottage.”

Facilities were all as described. Only downside were the sofas, they are rather worn and very low and we both struggled to get up. Delightful to light the log burner and enjoy the quiet. Although there is no WiFi we did get reasonable mobile reception upstairs.

- Ms Roberts, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback on The Mews Cottage, we will pass your comments on to the owner. Lighting log burners is a wonderful thing to do and we are glad you were able to enjoy this. Owner relations

“Perfect cottage for us to get away from it all.”

It did feel a bit damp to us, so would suggest one of the radiators be left on at all times.

Mrs Ould August 2020

“In general the cottage was fine but it felt really damp.”

Also think the sofas could be replaced as very uncomfortable. Also on arriving at the cottage looked out the window just as a rat ran across the path!!!!!!!! Not the greatest start,apparently the pub that the cottage is joined to did have a rat problem which was supposed to have been dealt with, we did only see the 1 rat but that was enough.

- Mrs Ould, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Mews Cottage. We take all feedback very seriously and will pass you comments on regarding the soft furnishings. Owner relations

“No, we were very happy.”

Tisbury proved to be very central for the visits we wanted to make, and was also a lovely village/small town in its own right. The very easy rail access to Salisbury was a pleasant surprise

Mr Clarke August 2019

“Very cosy cottage.”

Ideal for exploring wiltshire and Dorset. Absolutely no bother from the pub next door. Tisbury is one of the friendliest villages I have ever been to. Only criticism is the patio doors need some work on them so they can be securely locked.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We stayed here for one week which just happened to coincide with Tisbury's annual carnival.”

The cottage is perfectly situated in a quiet mews just off the High Street and the town. Though small, it has everything you need for a good holiday. The cottage itself is delightful - cosy, warm, clean and well equipped. The owner's personal touches make it feel very homely. Lots to see within easy driving distance, and some lovely local walks. We particularly enjoyed our visit to Old Wardour Castle which is about ten minutes drive from Tisbury.

Mr & Mrs Culpin

“We have really enjoyed our week in your beautiful, cosy and homely cottage.”

The location is great and everything is within a short stroll. Lots to do and see; train service to Salisbury was excellent and Old Wardour Castle is worth a visit. We easily re-couped our National Trust subscription in the week! Thank you for the helpful advice and cards on arrival (and we did enjoy the Carnival!). Best regards.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“The Mews Cottage in the heart of the gorgeous town of Tisbury is clean, comfortable, well equipped, quiet and a great base for country strolls in all directions.”

A private car parking space was an added bonus. We could not have chosen a better location for the final week of our UK holiday. Day trips to Dorset & the Jurrasic Coast, Blenheim and Portsmouth were easily achievable and of course some of Wiltshire's key attractions (Salisbury and Stonehenge) are very close by!

“The Mews is a beautiful cottage, beautifully renovated and very comfortable.”

I have been there already two times, and when I saw it on TripAdvisor I couldn't miss to write a review! The cottage is perfectly located: 5 minutes' walk from the train station and two steps away from the supermarket (and don't miss the delicatessen store!). You can't miss the Mews: it is so charming and cosy that I can wait to go back there for the third time next autumn! You can't miss it!

“Every year we spend our holidays in our beloved England and mostly the houses we rent were good but your cottage is better: cosy, friendly, comfortable and clean.”

Thank you a lot.

“We have had a great time in this lovely village in this pretty cottage.”

The bed was very comfortable and the decor throughout the cottage is delightful - clean & fresh throughout. The village of Tisbury has every amenity even though it's quite small.

The property

Tucked away just off Tisbury's high street, The Mews Cottage is a charming, white-washed, period cottage.

The property is comfortably furnished throughout with many homely touches, ideal for a couple looking for a break in a vibrant village in the heart of Wiltshire.

With light and sunny south-facing rooms, you'll have a great view of all the local comings and goings from the upstairs windows.

Outside there is a garden area with decking at the front of the cottage and there are endless walks right from the front door.

A great base for exploring this relatively undiscovered part of Wiltshire.

About the location

TISBURY, NEAR BATH

Shaftesbury 12 miles; Salisbury 15 miles.

An interesting, lively village on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, well served by a good selection of inns, shops, a library, a bank, a garage and with a regular rail link to both London and Exeter. The village is set in the valley of the River Nadder, a good fishing river which gently meanders its way down to Salisbury and where herons, grey wagtails and even kingfishers may be seen - a bird watchers paradise! Along the valley, the lush green countryside provides superb rural walks and cycling. Full of history, the nearby mill predates even the Domesday Book. A visit to the local churchyard reveals a famous 1000 year old yew tree and also the graves of Rudyard Kipling's parents, who lived here. The village serves as a great year round base for exploring this interesting area. Within a short drive are Wilton House, Shaftesbury, Old Wardour Castle, Stourhead, Stonehenge, and the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury.

Note: Children aged eight and over welcome (unsuitable for those under 8, except babes in arms).
Sorry no WIFI but you can access it in pub next door, the Bennett Arms, or Beacons book shop.
