December 2020

“Absolutely beautiful cottage full of character.”

Lovely and warm on arrival, very clean and welcoming. Plenty of space for our family and very comfy beds. Lovely spacious kitchen with everything we needed although could do with another big saucepan, baking tray and a colander. great to be able to take the dog and there is a safe garden and walks from the house. All in all it was a great place to spend valuable time with family over new year. Thank you!

“The cottage was lovely - warm and very comfortable with great facilities.”

There were walks from the door and lots of national trust properties nearby. We really enjoyed our stay. The only downsides were no mobile reception at all, and the inglenook fireplace was actually electric.

“Fantastic large thatched farmhouse which sleeps up to 10 people (there were just 6 of us).”

Well decorated, very clean and modern. Kitchen was well equipped also and beds/bedding very comfortable. We were very impressed and would come back. Only downside was no pub/restaurant or shop within nearby walking distance so you do need a car to explore the area but it’s a great base to do that.

Thenford Cottages

The Thenford Cottages are Grade II listed buildings with character and charm running throughout. With history believed to be dating back to the 18th century intertwined with the contemporary interior inside, the cottages offer you everything you could possibly need to enjoy your self-catered stay. Located within the tranquil lands of Kilmington not far from the River Wylye, they're within an ideal destination for walking, cycling, nature spotting, and all important picnicking in beautiful settings. With Mere just 4.4 miles away, head here for a day full of action and fun, with a selection of local shops, the breath-taking historical landmark of Castle Hill, its own museum, and wide variety of places to eat, it boasts a wide array of attractions for a small town. To take in even more of the scenery of Wiltshire, head to Cley Hill, a short but steep walk well-worth the effort when you reach the top and observe the lands that surround you, once part of the Longleat estate, it now stands as a popular area to walk, cycle, and run with locals and tourists from all over. Nearby you will stumble across the newest National Park in England; South Downs, explore it from the sky while soaring by plane, hot air balloon, or even paraglider, or take a kite to the sky with the kids for a day out full of fun for all the family. To enrich yourself in history, Longleat House, the seat of the Marquesses of Bath lets you explore the stately home by house tours, or venture through the formal gardens, with history stretching back to the 1st Viscount Weymouth, this makes the perfect spot for any culture vulture. Longleat House also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including The Festival of Light, Sky Safari and An Australian Summer. Stourhead house and its world famous gardens are just 2 miles away and in Autumn the spectacular display of burnished leaves and various shades of orange, red and yellow are not to be missed. With brilliant routes to London and surrounding bustling areas, the cottages of Thenford make a wonderful stay for all ages and interests.
