Relaxing Easter bank holiday in Wiltshire

We spent a very relaxing few days at Tom’s cottage in Clyde Pypard. The cottage itself is small but very comfortable and perfect for a couple, with everything you need for a long weekend. We brought our 2 dogs and there’s plenty of space outside for the dogs to explore and play without worrying about busy roads.Set in beautiful countryside, there’s beautiful walking routes on your doorstep, or a short drive in the car to places like the Avebury stone circle. Tom was very accommodating and even allowed us a late check out on bank holiday Monday. Overall a really nice weekend - we’d book again.

Beautiful peaceful escape

We had a really lovely stay at this gorgeous, clean and well-kept cottage. Good range of kitchen utensils, really comfy bed, and a beautiful location. It might have been nice to have a bit of info on local walks etc but Tom was very responsive to messages and gave us the space to relax so a great experience overall!

10/10 Short break in Clyffe Pypard

Amazing! A perfect rural retreat! We enjoyed a peaceful, cozy four-day stay in this charming cottage in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. The open fire and homely touches, like fresh milk and bread from Tom (the fantastic and friendly host), made it extra special. The cottage had everything we needed—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. With beautiful walks nearby and easy access to explore Wiltshire and its Megalithic history, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

Christmas chill out.

My wife and I took the dog and stayed at Tom's cottage for a well deserved post Christmas break. It's a lovely quiet cottage in the countryside with everything you need for a self catering break. Tom was friendly and discreet and left us a lovely home made loaf which was well received. The property was spotlessly clean with plenty of parking and surrounded by open fields for dog walking. We would quite happily book again.

We booked this cottage for our daughter and her new husband for 3 nights after they got married. Tom could not have been more helpful and accommodating - going out of his way to arrange champagne in the fridge for them on arrival. They (and their dog) had a fabulous time!!

Lovely little home from home in a stunning location

We had booked tickets for the Royal International Air Tattoo in Fairford on the Saturday, and decided to make the weekend of it to combine traipsing around an airfield with downtime in a quiet rural setting far removed from the usual city crowds. We were not disappointed! Tom's instructions to get to the cottage were perfect, and the properly had a number of wonderful and quaint features. We had a pre-bedtime snack on the Friday when we arrived and had planned to go out for a meal after the air show, but having walked for miles we decided on the full on home from home experience. The kitchen had all of the facilities to prepare a home-made steak dinner, followed by a film on Netflix. It was a very nice touch with both Netfix and Amazon Prime being available. There were a lot of other nice touches - the freshly-baked bread was delicious; we had toast for breakfast on the Saturday morning (we took the rest back with us!) and cereal with the fresh (and no doubt locally sourced) milk on the Sunday. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Tom in person, but he was always on hand to respond to messages and queries. Nothing was too much trouble, including providing additional salt and pepper supplies! We also enjoyed the eclectic collection of books lining the staircase. We have a few old books looking for a home, and will happily leave some for other visitors the next time we book this lovely cottage. Yes, we will be back!

Stayed for a few nights and had a lovely stay. Tom made sure we had everything we needed, with milk and homemade bread! Great for touring round The White Horses on the hill and there were lovely walks straight from the door. The host was welcoming, whilst giving us privacy. Highly recommend. Thanks Tom

Wonderful secluded cottage with superb views of Wiltshire countryside

The cottage is a converted stable adjacent to the main farmhouse and although close to the main house still provides privacy to the occupants. To the rear and sides are open space not overlooked by any other properties. We really enjoyed our stay for 8 nights visiting family and friends from Scotland. The place was ideal for our 2 small dogs with easy access to lovely local walks. The host Tom was excellent and surprised us with some treats on the day we arrived - fresh organic bread (yummy) and eggs, butter and milk. I got the best sleep ever in a superbly comfortable bed. Although compact, the space has everything you will need. An open fire was a bonus. All in all, a relaxing and memorable stay, and I would not hesitate to give this place 5 stars and hope to return when next down in Wiltshire. Nigel & Gary, Fife, Scotland

If your looking for a “get away from it all break” look no further!

Fab little cottage for two with all amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. Sitting centrally within the beautiful Wiltshire countryside this place has stunning views across the county and is within easy reach of many attractions. Avebury World Heritage Site, Marlborough Downs, Swindon Mc Arthur Glen Designer Outlet (if you’re looking for something to do on a rainy day and need an excuse for a bit of retail therapy!). Managed to walk to one, and see three of the eight white horses before dinner at La Strada Restaurant finished another day. Tom was a wonderful host and couldn’t do more. This place is a little gem. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Great cottage getaway

Tom was very helpful and easy to get hold of, check in and check out was straightforward and simple, beautiful cottage in the countryside with local shops an easy drive away, plenty of great areas to walk and a very cosy experience, enjoyed sitting with a nice log fire in the evenings and starting the days with a walk around the nearby fields with the dog. Will definitely be staying again

Cosy escape

Lovely little cottage with fabulous views from the top of the grounds. It was a last minute escape for my husband & I, along with our two dogs. Great walking (although the public footpaths aren’t always well maintained) with super views. Just a shame the local village pub has closed. Tom was a fantastic host & responded very quickly to any queries (& has an excellent men’s shirt business!)
