Shockerwick Cottage - Stunning Country Views

Summary:
Located in a rural, peaceful hamlet just outside of Bath and overlooking the rolling hills of Somerset, Shockerwick Cottage is the ultimate home-from-home for your trip to Bath.

With comfortable beds, multiple living areas and driveway parking, the cottage is equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing country getaway. We're also dog-friendly so your four-legged friends can come and bask in the stylish countryside.

The Space:
KITCHEN
The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to make a delicious meal during your stay. Featuring a hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, kettle, toaster and all the plates, bowls and utensils you can think of, you'll have everything to make you very own 5-star meal, overlooking the valleys.

DINING ROOM
The dining room features a very large, wooden dining table with enough seating for 10 guests! The dining room is situated in the new extension, featuring a large skylight and floor to ceiling windows, allowing floods of natural light to flow in and light up the space. In the summer months, the french doors open out onto the patio where you can enjoy your dinner alfresco style!

LIVING ROOM
The living room is part of an open-plan design and follows on from the dining room. Featuring an enclosed wood burner, a large smart TV and lots of books to keep you entertained, you've got all the ingredients for the ultimate, cosy night in.

SNUG/GAMES ROOM
Also on the ground floor is a snug/ games rooms which also has a sofa bed. This room contains lots of games, books and puzzles and is the perfect hideaway spot for a bit of wind down time. There is also a large desk through this room should you need to work remotely during your stay - made possible by our super fast WiFi which is also free for you to use during your stay.

BEDROOM 1
Bedroom 1 is located on the ground floor and is part of the newly renovated garage conversion. It features an en-suite as well as a comfy king bed adorned in crisp white linen.

BEDROOM 2
Bedroom 1 is on the top floor and features a comfy double bed. It also has its own en-suite with a walk-in shower, WC and basin. The bedroom features a cosy 'nook' with room for clothes storage and natural light flowing in through the windows.

BEDROOM 3
On the first floor, you'll find bedroom 2 which features a cloud-like double bed for you to sink into a deep slumber. There is plenty of storage available for your personal belongings so you can really settle in and feel at home.

BEDROOM 4
Bedroom 3 is also on the first floor and features a comfortable double bed, perfect for a deep slumber. High-end, crisp white linen is included for your stay so you can sleep in style.

BEDROOM 5
The fourth bedroom is accessed via a small flight of stairs following on from the snug/ games room and features a comfortable single bed, adorned in crisp white linen.

BATHROOMS
There are three bathrooms in total spread across the three floors. Bathroom 1 is accessed via the kitchen and features a luxury walk-in shower, WC, basin and antique mirror. Bathroom 2 is on the first floor and again features a walk-in shower, WC and basin. With marble tiling from floor to ceiling, you'll feel like you've just stepped into a luxurious spa. Bathroom 3 is an en-suite in the master bedroom on the top floor and features a walk-in shower, WC and basin. Fluffy white towels, bath mats and high-quality toiletries are included for your stay.

GARDEN
The garden features a blend of patio and greenery, with outdoor furniture so you can enjoy the warmer evenings alfresco style! But the real star of the show is the breath-taking view, overlooking acres of the rolling hills and stunning valleys of Somerset.

PARKING
We ask that you bring no more than 3 cars as there is limited parking availability at the cottage. You're welcome to park 2 cars on the driveway and 1 on the road outside.

Guest Access:
Guests will have the entire cottage to themselves. The cottage is spread across three floors so you must be able to climb stairs. One bedroom is located on the ground floor (accessed via a small flight of stairs) all others are accessed via stairs.

While the single bed on the mezzanine level and the single sofa bed in the snug room are both full sized and would fit an adult, we suggest that these are more comfortable for children.

The Neighborhood:
The beautiful City of Bath is less than 5-miles away and has an array of activities, shops, bars and restaurants to keep you entertained. Bath is also home to Bath Abbey, The Roman Baths, The Pump Rooms and the Thermae Bath Spa.

Located in a rural hamlet between Bath and Corsham, there is so much in and around the cottage to keep you entertained. Lacock national trust village is just a 15 - minute drive away, as well as the historical village of Castle Combe and the market town, Chippenham.

There are multiple footpaths that can be easily accessed from the cottage so you can go on a beautiful walk in the countryside.

Other Things to Note:
Please note this cottage is not a party/ hen do/ stag house as it is situated in a quiet, rural neighbourhood. There is also only space to park 3 cars at the cottage (2 on the driveway and 1 on the road outside)

Xmas stay
Whilst the property was really good with great accommodation, the disappointment was - the wood burner which we got going never delivered any heat. I have 2 at home so I know how they work. In the kitchen, in a property for 8 adults comfortably there was no toaster, or anything to weigh ingredients.
