Quirky property

The property was very interesting. Lots of nooks and crannies and so many books on all subjects. The weather was splendid so we could enjoy the beautiful garden. We had our dog with us, the garden is fully enclosed so we knew she was safe if she went wandering. The property solid and was very cool when outside was really hot.

All that is pictured

A lovely historic end of terrace house and garden, as shown in its picture. We'd assumed that several homes were pictured, but this is all the destination. The interior is packed with vintage and antique objects so young children or dogs must be careful.

Beautiful house, lovely garden, nice little village

Impressed with the house, the photos in the listing don't do it justice. An old but very lovely house with plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 small dogs. Beautiful garden (fully walled/enclosed so dogs can run free), off street parking (although tricky with an SUV/big car!) and very comfortable. Can highly recommend.

Beautiful house and garden

We had a lovely stay in Seend at this property, which is beautiful and perfect for our weekend catch up with friends. The garden is large and tidy and we enjoyed having a BBQ. The area is very quiet and there is a nice pub within walking distance. We would recommend this house, which was larger than we expected! It felt very cosy at night.

Herrliches, historisches Anwesen

Das äußerst charmante und mit wertvollen Antiquitäten ausgestattete Cottage bietet alles, damit man sich in England zu Hause fühlen kann! Die Umgebung ist wunderschön, es gibt viele Spazierwege mit herrlicher Aussicht. Der eingezäunte Garten ist ideal für Familien mit kleinen Kindern und Haustieren. Edward ist ein hervorragender und charmanter Gastgeber, der uns persönlich in Empfang genommen hat und uns vertrauensvoll sein wunderschönes Haus überlassen hat. FeWo dient nur als Maklerportal, die eigentliche und herzliche Kommunikation erfolgt direkt mit dem Eigentümer. Vielen Dank, Edward, es war ein Höhepunkt unserer Reise!

Very nice break

We had a very nice break at Edward’s cottage. He has been very helpful and kind and the house was just a perfect place to relax and enjoy the Cotswolds. Can only recommend!

Beautiful relaxing country retreat

This was the perfect getaway for the Easter holidays with the kids. The kids (3 and 5) enjoyed the well kept lawn for garden games and the patio dining area was fantastic when we had friends to visit for dinner. The home has a beautiful country charm. The kitchen although small was so well stocked with cupboard space and cooking utensils, just what we needed when cooking for friends. The house is well positioned for bike rides along the canal tow path. We had a wonderful time.

Lovely period home convenient to Salisbury, Bath, and Stonehenge

This is a lovely, excellently maintained and cared-for old coaching house. It is comfortable, spacious, and charmingly decorated. Very convenient for visiting local historical sites or for tramping through the scenic countryside.

I was extremely satisfied with my stay!

I was completely blown away when I walked through the doors and saw a beautifully updated cottage from 1700. It was charming yet very spacious. We made many day trips and the cottage was a perfect central location to them all. It was so nice to end the great day at our cozy home with multiple wood burning stoves, and wake up in this great homey space. Edward is a wonderful host!

Beautiful, cosy and very welcoming...

We spent Christmas 2017 at this very tastefully furnished cottage. Thanks to the owners for putting up a. Christmas Tree and other decorations - it was so thoughtful! Perfect for the dogs and plenty of walks from the cottage too. I can thoroughly recommend it as a getaway place.

A beautiful house, very tastefully decorated. The gardens are just as beautiful!

We had a great stay at Greenheys. Four friends and I wanted a weekend retreat away to someone quaint and with good local walks - this suited us perfectly! We found a lovely pub down the road and had a refreshing walk along the canal. The house is wonderful, old and beautifully decorated. The gardens are very pretty too!
