The Annexe

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.

“Perfect Hen Weekend accomodation” Ashe Cottage really provided our 14 strong hen party with the perfect accommodation, location and facilities for our weekend. The service from Heywood Holidays was brilliant, very clear instructions, the cottage and annex in perfect condition, help with organising transport to and from Bath and a great rate for our stay. Upon arrival we found the cottage to be spotless, all of the beds made, the heating on (which in Feb made a huge difference) and the fridge holding a lovely welcome gift. Location wise we couldn't have asked for better, a slightly hairy stroll in the dark to the local pub but had our female sense of direction not have taken over, the instructions left by Heywood would have got us there with no problems. 30 minutes from Bath. Neighbors who were happy to help carry things from our cars for us. And another hen party the other side to make things even more interesting. The cottage is fully equipped in kitchen, bathrooms and annex so we couldn't have asked for more. After breakfasts and dinner for 14 the dishwasher was a very welcome addition and the two large fridges were perfect. Check out was easy with no problems, as long as the cottage is left clean and tidy which we felt was perfectly reasonable given the state we found it and all cleaning equipment is provided (Bar washing up liquid and tablets for the dishwasher). Our only tiny issue was that given the property is very quaint and quite large we found that the heating wasn't sufficient to keep us warm all night, despite leaving it on constant. It was however an exceptionally cold weekend, the annex had no problem and after we figured out how to light the gorgeous log fire in the dinning room on the Saturday night (logs provided at a small cost) we were perfectly toasty for the rest of our stay. Jo was available over the course of the weekend to ensure we had no problems and we did utilise her when we couldn't figure out how to use the oven! We were even given a little call on Saturday afternoon to check we had arrived safely and that we were happy with everything. Couldn't have asked for more, would thoroughly recommend and happily stay again.

“Delightful cottage for a relaxed weekend away” We all really enjoyed our weekend at Ashe Cottage. The set up was perfect for our group of 13 adults and 3 children. The annexe meant our baby could get some peace and quiet. The main cottage was the hub for entertainment and big meals. We stayed during the winter so couldn't take advantage of the pool but we enjoyed the sauna! Location was ideal for us - really handy for train pick ups at Westbury. A highlight of our stay was the short walk to the local pub through a farm full of pigs, geese and goats - perfect for the kiddies. Booking was super easy and the cottage's owner was very welcoming and friendly. Would love to return in the Summer.

“Cosy cottage ideal for fun and relaxation!” The cottage was perfect for a long weekend with friends celebrating a 30th birthday. Local area is great for walks with friendly local pubs. The Longs Arms in Steeple Ashton is definitively worth the short drive for Sunday lunch. The booking experience was friendly and easy! Will definitely visit again sometime.

“Lovely house with fantastic outside facilities - great for a stay with family or friends!” We stayed for a hen do with 14 women and made the most of the BBQ area, pool and paddock-like garden at the back of the property. The facilities were great and the owners very friendly and accommodating. Only slight problem was the number of bathrooms for the number of women staying in the house, but just meant we had to time things well. Very large dining table, however the tv room was a little snug for 14 adults. Would thoroughly recommend the house for family or friends staying, particularly if the weather is good!

“Fabulous weekend” We stayed in Ashe and Wilderness cottages for our wedding weekend. Our group consisted of family and friends young and old, who travelled from the North East for our wedding. Everyone was... more

“Perfectly set up for families, lots of outdoor space and the pool was great.” We were very lucky with the weather, so we made the most of the lovely swimming pool. Lots of room around the pool with tables and chairs, and well fenced off with a self closing gate for safety. Lovely little field behind the pool which allowed for space for the children to run around and also very good trestle tables and benches for outdoor eating. The barbeque was brilliant, and although we didn't use the sauna, two little girls in our party took it over as 'their house'! Only downside is that the kitchen is narrow and difficult to work in with more than two people, but on the plus side, there was plenty of crockery, glasses etc. so the dishwasher didn't have to be on the whole time to compensate. There was plenty to do and see in the area, and overall it was the best holiday accomodation that we have been to on our family annual breaks.

“Fantastic location, property has everything you could need and lots of space” A great base from which to explore various attractions around the area, such as Stonehenge, Lacock Abbey, Avebury, etc. The houses slept all 12 of our party comfortably. The main house has 4 large double bedrooms (one of which is downstairs) and a single bedroom upstairs, and the very seperate annexe has 3 double bedrooms, but has a bathroom, other toilet and kitchen and seating area. There was also a closed area for playing football, games at the back, as well as the swimming pool. Plenty of seating round the pool, although could possibly do with a few sun loungers? Plenty of outdoor space for eating. Inside the property has a large dining area, with a smaller sitting room. All very well equipped and very comfortable stay. Highly recmmend especially to people with kids.

“Nice House - Great Holiday” 15 of us shared the house and annexe and it was comfortable and clean with a nice pool and sauna in the garden. Some of the rooms are a little small but there is plenty of space overall. There's not much more you could want from a holiday cottage for a large group or a family with plenty to do in the surrounding area as long as you have enough cars. We also used the local leisure centre and white horse riding centre and would recommend them. Would definately reciommend the steaks from the Lopes Arms in Westbury, amazing value!

“Beautifully presented, well thought out holiday cottage” I organised a hen weekend for a group of 15 girls and found the host to be very helpful when booking and she made the process very simple. The added extras that you can book through the host, such as the potential for beauty treatments, minibus service and in house chef, make planning very straightforward and takes a lot of legwork out of it. The cottage was beautifully presented and in terms of crockery and kitchen equipment it is very well thought out - we didn't want for anything. The cottage was immaculate and very comortably accommodated all 15 of us. The sauna was a nice added extra for the Sunday morning. Well worth a visit and the surroundings are beautiful.

“Fantastically organised and fabulous facilities for ease and enjoyment.” A large group of friends with almost as many children were wonderfully accomodated by Jo and Ashe Cottage - we loved it. Everything was easy and ultra comfortable for a weekend locked in the cottage by the log fire while the snow fell outside. Plenty of space for the adults and the kids to play and all the comforts of home ... Many thanks and very highly recommended.

“Perfect Home from Home” 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.

“Beautiful setting for a fantastic Hen weekend!” 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!
