“This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage.”

We found it very clean in a loverly village. There was a issue with the televion and the WFI on arrival however, it was quickly resoved after I spoke with Fiona the property owner. Many thanks for that. It did not affect our stay and we look forward to staying again in the future..

- David, June 2024

“Absolutely beautiful cottage set in a great location.”

Quiet and peaceful village. The cottage is perfect and we would definitely return. Lovely cottage garden to sit and enjoy coffee or breakfast and so tastefully decorated throughout. The pub is just a few minutes walk away which does excellent food and is very friendly.

“Kings Cottage North was the perfect property for us to stay.”

A very cosy place in an idyllic village. Walking distance to the welcoming and very dog friendly Queen’s Head pub was a big bonus. It had everything we needed. Thank you!

With a lovely garden and walks on the doorstep of this property, set in a charming and interesting, picturesque village. So much to see and do, we throughly enjoyed our short break and stayed in comfort. 5 stars from us!

Alison January 2024

“A lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

We enjoyed the walk into the village and coffee shop. The log fire was great. Clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We went in January but I am sure the garden in summer would be a great place to pass the time relaxing. Thank you

- Alison, January 2024

Thank you for this lovely feedback. We're delighted you loved the cottage and also the location. We hope to welcome you again when the weather is warmer and sunnier! Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Michael January 2024

“A lovely place for a holiday - even in early January A cold week but just right for morning walks up on to the Downs; afternoon outings to Bath, Salisbury, Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum; and evenings in the glow of a log fire.”

- Michael, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us at Kings Cottage North. It sounds like you had a lovely break away, lots of walks and a lovely fire at the end of the day, pure bliss. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Simon September 2023

“Our second visit to the property - last year during the heatwave and this year in very wet and windy conditions.”

The property is well appointed and in a superb location and we hope to return. We did, however, find it slightly compromised in the wet weather in terms of drying clothes and walking and cycling boots, although we overall had an enjoyable stay.

- Simon, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Kings Cottage North. It's lovely to hear it's your 2nd visit to the cottage and your right, the walks from your door are amazing. We hope to make it a 3rd trip in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Stephen June 2023

“The cottage and its setting we're idyllic.”

We really enjoyed the cottage garden and the local countryside. Very clean and comfortable. The cottage owners encouraged the use of eco products for the septic tank but although they provided washing up liquid and hand gel didn't provide appropriate eco bathroom products or dishwasher tablets. Any issues were dealt with promptly.

- Stephen, June 2023

Many thanks for your comments, we're so pleased you had a lovely relaxing break and received support quickly when needed. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

Mick November 2022

“This cottage is part of the old rectory building and is very interesting historically.”

Have a look in the end laundry room! This cottage has been extensively modernised into a very comfortable and attractive let. The owner has used good quality fixtures and fittings throughout and the wood burner in the large, beamed fireplace, (all logs included) made this a very cosy cottage. Having said that, this was on top of the very effective heating system that made our November break perfect. The village in interesting with extensive water cress beds at one end. We had a really great week and I can't thing of anything negative to report.

- Mick, November 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed a comfortable winter break in this wonderful property, and we look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

“Lovely, very well-equipped, cosy cottage: perfect for a few days away.”

The bed was very comfy and the shower was great too. We enjoyed spending time in the garden, and walking around the village and the countryside beyond. The location is incredibly peaceful, and the locals (and the hosts) were all incredibly friendly. Would have loved to have stayed longer and will hopefully be back!

- Joanna, September 2022

Julie August 2022

“Lovely property with all facilities you would expect.”

Delightful garden. Great for walks from the front door. Local pub (Queens Head) disappointedly had very limited menu but service good. Local shop in village very handy, especially for ice cream after a long walk. Cottage handy for the coast (Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and beaches at Christchuch/Bournemouth). Overall, would thoroughly recommend.

- Julie, August 2022

Thank you for this lovely review and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay, and loved the garden. Thank you also for your helpful recommendations regarding the surrounding area. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Neal July 2022

“Great holiday cottage in the beautiful village of Broadchalke.”

We had a fantastic week in this stunning, well equipped property, everything you could ever need is provided for, including a nice big tower fan to keep us cool in the bedroom! Nice outside area to sit in overlooking a lovely Mediterranean style garden! As I mentioned, a lovely area to explore, great local pub with good food! Fantastic little village shop with a excellent community cafe at the rear, well worth a visit! If you love walking and cycling, this is the place for you.

- Neal, July 2022

Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted that you loved the cottage, garden and village and also managed to keep cool! We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Peter July 2022

“We enjoyed our very brief stay at Kings Cottage North, having to leave after only 3 nights due to a family bereavement.”

Both the cottage and the village make for a lovely relaxing break. We will endeavor to return in the near future to fulfil our planned holiday.

- Peter, July 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we're so sorry you had to leave earlier than planned. We hope to welcome you again in happier times. Property Owner

Jane June 2022

“The cottage was clean comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need for your stay.”

The village is lovely and the pub and shop are a short walk away, the pub is well worth a visit. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with lots of lovely walks and towns to visit. The garden was lovely but it was shared with the cottage next door. It was not a problem as the other cottage was empty.

- Jane, June 2022

Glad you had a lovely stay and had everything you needed at the cottage. Pleased to hear you liked the village, the pub, walks and towns. Property Owner
David June 2022

“We found the cottage clean.”

In a nice freindly village. However, the parking was difficult at times as the cottage next door had 4 cars at times on the shared car park which is on suitable for 3 vehicles. This meant we had difficult ies to park.

- David, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback and comments regarding the parking. We are addressing the issue raised, by reserving a parking space with signage for the cottage. Please know for the future, that we are on hand during your stay if you wish to raise anything with us. We are glad that you were pleased with the cottage and village. We hope you enjoyed your stay.

Anthony May 2022

“Your own garden is not enclosed, there is a secure gate across a shared driveway.”

This spoilt our holiday because constantly watching our dog incase a car moved and we didn't want her to wander into the next garden. Property in need of a good deep clean especially the sofa. Upstairs needs a touch of paint. Fridge not very big so a small cube freezer would be ideal, maybe remove the shelves and sit it on the worktop?

- Anthony, May 2022
Carolyn May 2022

“Charming spot with lovely garden & all amenities needed.”

Village also friendly with good shop / cafe & pub. I do warmly recommend it as a great base for exploring this area.

- David, April 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we're delighted that you enjoyed your stay - also the village and local pub! It's great that you made the most of the surrounding area and enjoyed seeing the wildlife on your walks. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Stephen April 2022

“This is a lovely, well-maintained property, in a very quiet location which is very convenient for Salisbury and its Park & Ride services.”

The only problem within the property was the unfamiliar cooker hob for which instructions were lacking. We enjoyed our stay immensely in a very friendly village. We were very grateful for the email information supplied prior to our stay, thank you.

- Stephen, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to see you had such a great stay and hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

Location was brilliant - pub and local shop not 5 mins walk away and plenty of public footpaths through farmland for healthy walks. I am sure we will return!

We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and all the property could provide. You are always welcome to return! Property Owner
Katy November 2021

We enjoyed our stay.

Gina October 2021

“This was a really really lovely base to explore Wiltshire and superb walking from the doorstep which is always a big plus.”

Local pub was lovely and friendly and the local shop was well stocked. The house itself was really well thought out with everything you need. Nice and warm with the log burner and the bonus of as many free logs as you need. Bed was super comfy as was the sofa which in my experience really unusual. Also a super pretty garden even in mid October. A big thank you to Fiona for the lovely goodies that were left for us. Just in case you weren’t sure we really liked this place.

- Gina, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner
Jennifer October 2021

“Lovely well equipped cottage, comfortable and peaceful with a pretty garden .”

The village has a community shop which sells all the essentials and more , the pub nearby serves delicious food and there was a bus into Salisbury every half an hour so we were able to leave the car behind one day - perfect!

Ian August 2021

“Stool and mirror in bedroom for the ladies, perhaps a couple of sun loungers could be kept in brew house and taken out when weather appropriate.”

And perhaps a TV in the bedroom.

- Ian, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Kings Cottage North. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed the cottage and we will pass on your suggestions to the owner regarding the suggestion of a stool/mirror/TV in the bedroom and sun loungers out side. I know the owner has a lovely table and chairs set already outside which are very comfy for guests to use. Property Owner
Caroline July 2021

“Kings Cottage North is a perfect hideaway for two.”

It is set in a beautiful cottage garden that gets the afternoon / evening sun - the table and chairs are in the perfect spot for an aperitif! The cottage itself was reassuringly clean and well equipped and the local area has plenty of lovely walks and things to see / do. Sunday lunch at the local pub (the Queens Head) was excellent. We hope to return.

- Caroline, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Kings Cottage North. We are glad you like it as much as we do and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner
James October 2020

“Happy with cottage and instruction/direction etc.”

Cottage was reassuringly very clean we had an enjoyable stay. Welcome pack was less than some but still very nice, living / tv area could have been better tv mount quite high on wall. Perfectly pleasant and good parking.

- James, October 2020

We are pleased to hear the cottage was very clean and you had an enjoyable stay. Many Thanks Hideaways. Property Owner
Darren October 2020

“Superb cozy cottage nestled in a quaint Wiltshire village.”

Some great cycling Into Dorset and yeh coast all within a good distance, then back to base to light the log burner and tuck into a glass of wine. Some great pubs around to, Beckford Arms and the local - queens head were lovely. Dog friendly too. The whole experience of booking, the facilities and the quality of the cottage was second to none. Great spot if you want to escape into a peaceful retreat for a week.

- Darren, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Kings Cottage North. The owner will be delighted to hear that the facilities and quality of the cottage was second to none! Hideaways. Property Owner
Nicola September 2020

“Excellent from start to finish, the only one thing i thought would be useful is a shower mat in the shower cubicle as it was quite slippery.”

- Nicola, September 2020

We are glad everything was excellent from start to finish, we have contacted the owner regarding the shower mat. Many Thanks Hideaways. Property Owner
Janet September 2020

“The cottage is beautiful, very comfortable, well furnished, clean and ideal for two people.”

However I agree with others and do not feel the grounds are particularly dog friendly. We could not let our dog out on his own in the garden as it is not enclosed and the gate at the entrance was open all of the time to allow car access for both cottages. Apart from that, we had a lovely week and would not hesitate to recommend this cottage.

- Janet, September 2020

Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience of your stay. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely week and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage. Property Owner
John August 2020

Cheryl July 2020

“We adored this beautiful, peaceful cottage.”

The garden is so pretty- we loved sitting out in the evening over-looking it, drink in hand; when it rained we sat by the cozy fire (as much wood as you want provided at no extra cost). The cottage had all that we needed for a very comfortable week's stay. There was a very thoughtful gift of a jar of local honey and hand-made chocolates waiting for us when we arrived. The village is quaint and tranquil. We often enjoyed a walk out in the evening either around the village or to the local pub; in the day there are many beautiful walks- we particularly enjoyed walking to the watercress fields (and buying freshly picked watercress). The cottage is very conveniently located for many excursions- a week was not enough! On hot days we made our way to the stunning coastal villages which are only about 40 minutes away or at other times we spent our days walking in wildflower meadows or next to glorious, clear rivers by pubs and through villages. Salisbury is also a beautiful place to visit and a day at Stonehenge is a must! We are certain this would be a beautiful place to stay at any time of the year- so we will be back. We may even book the much bigger cottage next door (or both) and bring the whole family!!

- Cheryl, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely comments on Kings Cottage North. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the surrounding areas and the garden. We would love for your to bring your whole family. Both cottages have many repeat guests. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Hideaways Property Owner
Beverley July 2020

“We have stayed in a number of very good Sykes cottages, but Kings Cottage North was certainly the best so far.”

An immaculate cottage in an idyllic location with beautiful countryside all around. Many great walks from the doorstep, could easily have stayed longer. Loved the well kept private garden too.

- Beverley, July 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding Kings Cottage. It's always so lovely to hear how much guests have enjoyed staying and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

“Cottage was as expected as always with Sykes Cottages Have already booked another break with you”

- James, March 2020
Jo December 2019

“Beautiful little semi detached cottage for two which has been refurbished to a high standard with fabulous walks from the door.”

Great pub within walking distance and local village store. The garden is not private as it is open plan to the next door cottage and the parking area. For our dog we would prefer our garden area to be enclosed so that she could be let off the lead although the owners have made the shared 5 bar gate doggy proof but the gardens are still open to next door and the parking spaces. The gardens are absolutely beautiful & we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

- Jo, December 2019
Christine August 2019

“We loved Kings Cottage North, from first arrival to our departure we enjoyed staying there very much as did our dog Skye who didn't want to leave.”

It quickly became our home from home, it's in a perfect setting and was a prefect location for our trips to surrounding areas, always a pleasure to return to it after a long day out sightseeing. The Cottage has a great feel to it, the village is quiet and the locals are friendly, there was much activity around the Church and the Community Centre, the pub and Chalke Village Stores, during our stay there was a wedding of an African Royal Family, you don't get that every day. Kings Cottage north may be small but it holds you, the facilities are first class, though the Sykes site does not make it clear what facilities are provided within the Cottage. Loved it, our stay there was over all too quickly, it's somewhere that we would definitely have no hesitation in returning to.

- Christine, August 2019
Roger June 2019

“Everything was fine.”

However we had not read the description of the property well enough though and were surprised not to find a microwave. Our fault entirely.

- Roger, June 2019

As correctly mentioned the website clearly states that there is no microwave. However, the owner will always respond to any feedback and has since added a microwave to the property to ensure a comfortable stay as possible for guests as this will always remain a priority. Property Owner
Richard Alan May 2019

“Great cottage had a lovely week there.”

The problem we had was sorted out quickly and satisfactorily. The biggest problem was that there was no microwave but we coped with that in the end. Would love to come again as the garden was beautiful and the cottage received all the evening sun.

- Richard Alan, May 2019

We are sorry that you missed a microwave during your stay. However, the website clearly states that there is no microwave at the property. However, the owner has taken onboard this feedback and will ensure that a microwave is added shortly to ensure a comfortable stay. Property Owner
Ann November 2018

“The cottage was perfect and it must be even nicer in summer.”

Everything needed was there and we were able to make the most of our short break. The level of restoration was high especially the granite kitchen worktops which was extraordinary in a holiday cottage. All round it is a lovely place in a great setting and perfect for short or longer stays.

- Ann, November 2018
Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We stayed in Kings Cottage North whilst waiting for our new house we were buying, to be completed.”

The cottage is set in delightful grounds which are beautifully maintained. The cottage itself is fairly small but very well presented and equipped. It has been immaculately renovated and sits amidst stunning countryside in the quiet village of Broad Chalke. It is in walking distance of the local pub, the Queens Head, and also the local and thriving local community run shop. It is only nine miles from Salisbury centre but has access to wonderful cycling and walking country. It is also on a local bus route between Shaftesbury and Salisbury. Next door is King's Cottage South which is much larger with four bedrooms so together the two cottages would make a wonderful destination for a large group weekend away, or a family celebration. Peace and quiet, with lots to do and see, but a hideaway if gentle relaxation is your objective.

Ms Stevens

“'What a perfectly well-thought-out "home-away-from-home"!”

Light, spacious, airy and uncluttered, King's Cottage - North sets the bar high. North Cottage has been the ideal place for me to complete work training in this area. Really looking forward to my next visit in three weeks. '

“We heartily endorse all the positive comments about the comforts of King's Cottage North.”

The week has passed all too quickly - we have seen lots, enjoyed some breathtaking walks and still feel that there will be lots to do when we come back again - hopefully very soon.

“We had a lovely Christmas break in this spotlessly clean cottage.”

Nicely decorated with the woodburner being the focal point. The generous supply of complementary logs was an added bonus.

- Laura & Jeremy,
Peter & Ruth

“Comfortable and peaceful cottage - we thoroughly enjoyed out stay.”

Walked miles of beautiful countryside and met hardly a soul - what a contrast to the overcrowded Thames Valley! Nice to be able to settle back at the cottage in the evenings with the warming glow of the wood burner stove. Thank you! Peter, Ruth and Samson the Labrador

The property

Situated in the grounds of the historic, Grade II listed King's Old Rectory, North Cottage (one of two superb holiday cottages at this location) offers guests the opportunity to stay somewhere quite exceptional.

Situated deep in the heart of South Wiltshire's magnificent Chalke Valley, where the sparkling River Ebble flows towards the cathedral city of Salisbury, a stay at this outstanding cottage will definitely live on in the memory.

Recently the property has undergone a painstaking and no-expense-spared refurbishment, where the owners have ensured the period features are mixed with modern touches, to create a truly beautiful holiday home.

We love the understated taste and style that are evident throughout the interiors.

The Old Rectory was once handed over to Henry VI as part of the endowment of the newly founded King's College Cambridge.

Centuries later, in the 1900s, the house was visited by many well-known literary figures of the time including the poet laureate, Robert Bridges and the author Thomas Hardy.

The Hollywood actress, Greta Garbo is said to have been photographed by Sir Cecil Beaton sitting on the bridge over the Ebble in the Rectory's garden!Please note: The cottages can be reserved individually with their own private entrances and gardens but if booked jointly they are perfect for larger groups of up to ten guests who will be able to make use of South Cottage's large, convivial dining area.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
