    How it was so well equipped, we literally couldn’t think of anything else we might have needed it was all there. It was so clean and warm. Plenty of hot water and everything worked really efficiently

    Alles stond klaar voor een rustig en warm welkom. Makkelijk contact met de uitbaters. Absolute rust in de tuin en een gezellig terrasje maakt een zeer relax verblijf.

    Gorgeous, very quiet location, ponies as neighbors, yet close to shops and restaurants in Royals Wootton Bassett. Hostess is friendly and helpful! We stayed in The Nook cottage rather than the Poddy but viewed the Poddy too. And both properties...

Neighbourhood information

The large village of Lyneham is situated at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills, in rural northern Wiltshire, close to the border with Gloucestershire. Lyneham is probably best remembered as the base of the RAF’s Hercules fleet; the base was closed in 2012 and now hosts a Defence Training College. The village is well served by local businesses, including restaurants, pubs and shops, whilst the larger community of Royal Wootton Bassett is just 4 miles away. The friendly market town of Wootton Bassett was granted Royal patronage in 2011, due to its link with the repatriation of military personnel who sadly lost their lives serving their country overseas. It boasts a weekly market and also offers a good selection of local shops and inns, and provides an ideal touring base from which to explore the attractions of Wiltshire and beyond. The town is close to the historic Lydiard Park, Bowood and Longleat, with the ancient sites of Avebury and Stonehenge nearby. Visit the charming town of Malmesbury and the Cotswold Water Park, and with the historic cities of Bath, Oxford and Salisbury all easily accessible, makes Lyneham an ideal base at any time of the year.
