Home description
Situated in the picturesque garden of the owner's property, Ashton Lodge Cottage was formerly the gardener's cottage, for The Grange. Peaceful and relaxing, the cottage makes the ideal base from which to explore Bath, Bradford on Avon and the wider area of Wiltshire and Somerset.
Built of Bath stone, with pretty roof gables, the cottage is perfect for a couple, or a small family and many of our guests return year after year. The owner is on hand to assist you with local knowledge of the area and will be only too happy to help you to plan your stay.
The cottage is well maintained to a high standard and is within a few minutes of local shops as well as two large supermarkets and an M&S food store. There are local restaurants and takeaways nearby and a very popular pub within walking distance serving food and drinks.
Ashton Lodge Cottage - welcome!

The Central Southern England / Wiltshire region
Located in the village of Hilperton on the outskirts of Trowbridge (the County Town of Wiltshire) and just 10 miles from Bath. Longleat is one of the largest attractions in the region and there are also plenty of National Trust properties nearby as well as the perfecxtly preserved village of Lacock, location of Harry Potter and also the recent BBC series, Cranford.
Cheddar caves and Wookey Hole caves are fascinating and are imaginitively presented by means of a series of lights which identify various collections of stalagmites and stalagtites and even the legends of a witch or two!
This region is renowned for its food and farmers' markets are plentiful - buy west country Cheddar, Wiltshire Ham, Somerset Brie or freshly squeezed apple juice or cider.
Avebury, Stonehenge and numerous ancient burial sites are near at hand with Westbury White Horse offering an opportunity for a windswept walk and views over the surrounding countryside.
There are canal and river walks and the pretty town of Bradford on Avon offers history, antiques shops and honey coloured houses with small streets to discover, straddling the River Avon.
Trowbridge area
The Roman Baths, Pump rooms and the Georgian crescents are Bath's treasures. The Thermae Spa is attracting millions of visitors from all over the world who wish to sample the benefits of the thermal waters so favoured by the Romans.
