This stunning converted barn sits within the heart of Wiltshire, adjacent to the owner's property and located between Chippenham and Lacock. Chippenham is within a mile, a very short drive away and home to many shops and eateries, with plenty there to keep yourself busy. A little further afield is the Georgian Spa town of Bath, famous for the Bath spas, theatres, racecourse and rugby ground and makes a wonderful base from which to explore Somerset and the Cotswolds. There is a host of popular attractions to explore, Longleat, Lacock, Stonehenge, Stourhead, Glastonbury and Cheddar Gorge to name but a few.

A shingle path leads from the parking area through the garden to the private entrance of this beautiful converted barn. Just inside the door is a stunning open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with original stone walls and high wooden beams. The stylish kitchen area with centre island is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer dishwasher and washing machine. There is a comfortable dining space adjacent, perfect for mealtimes. Take time to relax in the lounge area, where there are inviting sofas for curling up and watching a film on the TV. There are three bedrooms to choose from, a twin room with TV and Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom with a shower over bath and WC (also accessed from the hallway). The very impressive and large super-king-size bedroom has a Smart TV and an en-suite wet room with shower and WC. Completing the accommodation are twin beds on the mezzanine level above the living area.

Heading outside you will find a pretty shingle terrace with garden furniture, perfect for al fresco dining or a spot of stargazing. The gardens and views are peaceful with plenty of wildlife to watch and a lovely pond with extra seating, the perfect spot to lose yourself in a good book or enjoy a nice glass of wine on those warmer summer nights. Off-road parking for two cars is available to the side of the property.

The owner was very accommodating. There was a nice hamper waiting for us on our arrival. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable, Lovely country setting, ideal for walking the dog. Great proximity to Bath, about 30 minutes away and only a few minutes to Lacock, which is a must see visit.

I can recommend a holiday at the Dovecote. Our family enjoyed a relaxing stay at this delightful cottage set in a peaceful location close to rural walks. (We saw 2 deer on lower lawn). Barbara the owner is friendly & helpful but not intrusive. I enjoyed our chats about plants (she gave me plants to take home). The welcome pack was much appreciated.Read more Dovecote is nicely decorated, well equipped, clean & comfortable. Main bedroom doorway is low so mind your head. Id love to return in the future. Hide

This cottage was perfect for us. The master suite is amazing, you feel like a star. All the beds are very comfortable and the bedding is top quality. TVs in every room and a fully equipped kitchen is just the tip of the iceberg. Most importantly our Boxer dog was very happy and had a lovely time too. The garden is lovely for her to explore and the Read moresurrounding walks a treat. But the best thing about the cottage was the owner. Barbara was lovely to us and couldn't do enough seeming available 24/7. Hide

Had a fabulous stay at the cottage, great location and having fantastic weather helped! We felt like we were in France, such a French vibe from the buildings. Lots of walks from the cottage into the surrounding countryside. Walked into Chippenham in 20 minutes across the fields. Lots of lovely places to visit nearby.
