Royal Wootton Bassett Tranquility

My husband & I had a wonderful seven night stay at the delightful Herons Nest. It is in such a picturesque location & everything one could want for in a country cottage. Nothing was too much trouble for Hillary (the owner ) who made our stay just perfect & we loved every minute of being there. We even had deer out in the surrounding fields, which was lovely to see as we were having breakfast at the large kitchen window. We would love to return one day & highly recommend it. Thank you Hillary. ++++

The perfect Getaway

We had a great long weekend at Heron’s Nest. Hilary welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around. The property is lovely, very clean and well maintained. It is in a quiet, rural location, but still only a few minutes drive from all the amenities in Royal Woodson Basset. It is perfect for walks and exploring Wiltshire and Somerset. I would definitely recommend.

Ein schöner Aufenthalt in einer schönen Gegend

Hillary hat dieses Haus liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Ich fand besonders gut, dass es eine Mappe mit Vorschlägen zu Restaurants und Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung von Lyneham gibt. Der Aufenthalt war leider nur mit einem langen Wochenende sehr kurz. Die Zeit hat nicht ausgereicht, um alles an Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erkunden. England ist auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert.

About the host

Hosted by Hillary Walter

We are a family of 5 who have have recently renovated and extended our home and cottage. We love being outside and enjoy gardening. We have a small holding consisting of a variety of chickens, pigs, sheep and two ponies!!

I enjoy making jams, chutneys, cakes etc. Nick (my husband) has just bought a Smoker for fish and meat and has been experimenting with that!

Understandably, our friends call us Tom and Barbara!!

Why they chose this property

We bought Burrington because of its location. We are situated down a very quiet lane surrounded by fields with a view of Tockenham wood, which has Tockenham Lake within it. You could hardly believe we're only 2 miles from Royal Wootton Bassett and therefore have easy access to the M4 - which makes Heron's Nest an easy to get to retreat!!

What makes this property unique

There are plenty of wonderful things to experience whilst staying at Heron's Nest. Most notably the Natural Swimming Pool! A fabulous experience which people come back for!
There are wonderful walks in and around us. Plenty of fabulous and interesting towns and cities to visit, Bath, Oxford, Marlborough, Bristol, Castle Combe and the Cotswolds are all within an hours drive

The property itself is well equipped - I have tried to create a home from home kitchen. The sitting room has all the normal appliances one would expect plus a variety of games.
