Great stay at Figwillow

We enjoyed the great home and the garden. The host was very reactive and nice. From the house, we could explore many sites (Oxford, Bath, Stonehenge, the Costwolds, etc..) and make a day-trip to London.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived.The owner was very friendly, and communication before and during our stay was excellent.The location is perfect—close to the charming village centre while also being just a short drive from all the amenities in Swindon. Our dog enjoyed the stay as much as we did, and the surrounding area was great for walks.We had a fantastic holiday and would happily return in the future. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Host profile image

We've been welcoming guests to our holiday properties for over 20 years and have loved every minute of it. These days we've chosen to slow the pace a little and focus on our beautiful holiday cottage, Figwillow, here in the heart of Wiltshire.
As we live nearby, we're always on hand if you need anything during your stay, while still giving you the space to relax and enjoy your holiday.
When we're not looking after Figwillow, we spend our time caring for our rescued animals and enjoying a quieter way of life. We truly believe there's nothing more rewarding than helping our guests create happy memories that last a lifetime.
This year we've added air conditioning to the living room, ensuring everyone stays cool and comfortable during the warmer months—as dogs and their well-behaved humans are always welcome at Figwillow!

What makes this property unique

Why Guests Love Figwillow Cottage

At Figwillow, we know that dogs are part of the family, so they're treated that way! Unlike many holiday cottages, dogs are welcome throughout the entire cottage, so there's no need to leave anyone behind. The whole property has practical hard flooring with rugs, making it comfortable for everyone while being ideal for muddy paws after a countryside adventure.

For energetic four-legged guests, there's a fantastic private dog walking field just three miles away. It can be hired by the hour and conveniently booked online, giving your dog a safe, enclosed space to run, play and explore.

Inside the cottage, we've installed air conditioning in the living room, helping everyone stay cool and comfortable during the warmer months—both dogs and their well-behaved humans!

Figwillow is perfectly located within easy walking distance of the historic market town of Royal Wootton Bassett, where you'll find a wonderful selection of dog-friendly pubs, cafés and independent shops. Whether you're looking for a leisurely stroll, a relaxing lunch or an evening meal, you'll find a warm welcome for both you and your dog.

Our location also makes Figwillow an excellent base for exploring Wiltshire and beyond. We're within easy reach of the beautiful Cotswolds, the historic cities of Bath and Bristol, and many of the region's most popular attractions, making it easy to enjoy everything from countryside walks to sightseeing and shopping.

Whether you're planning a relaxing break, an adventure with your dog, or a base for exploring the South West, Figwillow offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience and a genuinely warm welcome.
