The Central Southern England / Wiltshire region


Wiltshire is a county just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to make you feel miles from it, surrounded by rolling countryside and sleepy distant communities.
The county is home to some of the most beautiful villages in England. It is also a mysterious place of prehistoric stone sites, strange crop circles and magnificent chalk horses.
For the active there are endless options, from walking ancient ridgeways and river meadows to biking the canal towpaths. The less energetic can choose to cruise the Kennet and Avon Canal and stop off along route to visit towns and country inns stepped in history.
The Westbury / Heywood area
The cottages are central located for visiting many local towns and villages and famous sites.
Here's a taster of what's within reach:
- Just half an hour from Bath and its recently reopened Spa Baths
- Longleat Safari Park & Elizabethan Mansion
- Stonehenge
- Avebury medieval town with stone circles
- Westbury White Horse and Hill Fort carved in chalk
- Cheddar Gorge and caves
Nearby towns and villages:
- Bradford-upon-Avon
- Castle Coombe
- Salisbury
- Stourhead
There's also plenty of opportunity for walks and cycling through the stretches of beautiful countryside.

Ashe Cottage with annexe is very comfortable and with the large dining table all fourteen of us sat down comfortably for our Christmas Lunch. The annexe proved a boon to keep the four children apart to sleep without them waking too early. Ashe Cottage is lovely in winter - it must be amazing in the summer with the pool. |

I would highly recommend Ashe Cottage and I truly hope to have the chance to stay there again. As a group of hens we were looking forward to a relaxing weekend in the countryside and that is what we got! The house itself is beautiful, spacious and clean. The dinning room is an excellent location for a dinner party, especially when you get the log fire going! The sauna was a real hit with the girls, easy to use and true luxury! To match the fab house I also received a fantastic service from Jo who was on hand at anytime if I had a query. There were also welcome goodies which added that really personal touch! I would definitely give Ashe Cottage a 5* rating! |
