• "All in all a very restful weekend, the cottage was clean and tidy and there was supplies to have a cuppa before unpacking."

  Plenty of room to park, the little garden was a sun trap where we enjoyed breakfast, on the first night a very good curry from over the road was welcome and a handy shop or two in walking distance. Nice, quiet and restful stay. The owners of this property couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and we can recommend them any time

• "Lovely stay in a lovely property owned by a lovely couple ."

  The Old Cart Shed is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. Peaceful yet with great transport links to many places to visit in that area of the South. We could not have asked for better and it felt like home from home especially for our nervous rescue dog who settled in immediately. Very clean , comfortable and there was everything you could need for a self catering break. We enjoyed Royal Wooton Bassett and Calne and could not resist a trip to the Swindon Designer outlet complex, just be careful as my credit card took a beating. Will we come back to The Old Cart Shed? You bet we will !!

  Thank you for your lovely feedback Graham. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed staying in our property and found it homely. Thank you once again and we also appreciate your kind words regarding the cleanliness; it is really appreciated! We hope to welcome you back in the future.

  My dog Polly and I had a very comfortable stay. It was very different to anywhere else I have stayed in the past. If you like to stay in accommodation that leaves you constantly finding different little curiosities then this is your cottage. It had everything you would need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. I especially liked the unique little garden, as did Polly who spent a lot of time investigating (sniffing) her way around the plants and the flower pot man.

  Our 14 month daughter was with us and we very very grateful for the high chair, baby towel and cot bed, as well as eggs and milk provided. We did bring our own mattress for the cot bed which I would strongly recommend others do. The cottage is well furnished and the kitchen well equipped with basic, well used items and plenty of crockery and cutlery. The location is great and we were able to easily travel to a number of great walks locally. Overall, a great place to stay for exploring the area.

• "Absolutely fantastic little place, full of character and felt spacious inside."

  There was everything we could possibly need, including a delightful surprise of a few things to get us started on our break. The property was quiet, despite being near to roads and a roundabout, and was warm and cosy during the cold weather that accompanied our stay. Added bonus - the hot water is almost volcanic! Perfect for a soak in the tub after exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. The hosts are very helpful by phone or text should you need anything but allow you to enjoy the peace undisturbed. Would highly recommend - ideal as a base for exploring or just as a romantic getaway.

• "Although it was a nice stay the owners ought to think about replacing the washer with a washer/dryer as the radiators could not be used to help dry clothes that took 2/3 days to dry as there was only convector heaters that could only be put on for 2 hours when out for the day so the clothes were still wet when we came home."

  Also there is 2 TVs in the property neither are smart nor even have Freeview so not only can you not use wireless features you can't stream anything from your phone to either set, the TVs must be over 13 years old as smart TVs/ Freeview have been out over 13 years this was the most disappointing aspect of the holiday as we don't go out a night time. We ended up having to watch stuff on our phones which was not as good as watching on the TV they need to bring at least 1 TV up to date or failing that say in the listing that the TVs are not smart and dont stream content. We are not all pensioners uninterested in what TV has what features !! Also left a quarter bottle of milk?

  Thank you for your feedback; we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay despite it probably being the wettest week of the year! We are however saddened to read the review that you left. As you can see from previous feedback we always score very highly. Had you raised any concerns to us during your stay we would have been more than happy to assist you in anything that you may have required. We could have helped dry out your wet clothes and happily popped round to help explain how to view our TVs that show all the freeview channels. We accept that we don't have smart TVs but could have lent you our amazon firestick or DVDs from our own collection. We have found that a lot of guests who need to stream bring a cable to connect to the TV however we have taken on board your suggestion and will look to replace them with smart TVs in the future. We are sorry that you didn't appreciate our small amount of milk but we do provide a 'welcome pack' which includes tea, coffee, milk, chocolates, dishwasher tablets, a washing machine laundry sachet, washing up liquid, hand soap, toilet rolls, kitchen roll and other condiments to help start off your holiday. We are fortunate in having a small supermarket literally across the road for anything you may need. kind regards, Alison and Simon Property Owner

  It is very well equipped. The owner had left us a few eggs and milk and there was tea and coffee in cupboard, together with a few treats for our dog, dog bowls and dog towels too. We did not meet the owner, but did receive a friendly text to welcome us. There is a comprehensive folder containing useful information of places to eat etc. Although we did not sit in it very long, there is a very small enclosed garden, which is quite sunny. There is a garage, shop and pharmacy just across the road and, within 5 minutes walking distance a pub. (Does not serve food). All in all a homely little cottage and an ideal base to discover Wiltshire. We would not hesitate to return.

  The owners had kindly left some basic supplies in the fridge and cupboards and a box of choccy biscuits too - made me feel very welcome. Heating and hot water were excellent - particularly important as it was a very wet November week. I would happily recommend it to anyone thinking of staying there.

  It is extremely well equipped we lacked for nothing. The bed is very comfortable and we slept very well. Mr and Mrs Matthews were there if needed (they were not) and were very friendly.

• "The Old Cart Shed is a very well designed property that is a joy to stay in."

  There is everything you could need for a comfortable stay. It is perfectly equipped with everything that you need for a great stay either a long or short stay. There is even a garden to sit in when the weather is good. The owners e very welcoming and are there if you need them but give you complete peace during our stay. Almost opposite there is a Costcutter shop that has a Post office and a Chemist that is very handy and a petrol station too. But one of the best things nearby is the Spice of Asia restaurant . It does the most amazing food and has an enormous menu with something for everyone. They also do take away too. The Old Cart Shed is perfectly paced to explore Wiltshire. While there we went to Lacock abbey and the Fox Talbot museum and Village where Harry Potter was Filmed. Then Swindon Designer Outlet and the Great Western Railway museum, Avebury with the stone circles, and then lastly the Caen Hill Flight of locks that are amazing. If you go to the Great Western Museum in Swindon keep your ticket and when you go to the Designer Outlet next door you can get a free car park ticket !! There are so many other places nearby that we will have to return to see more of the area. We would fully recommend this lovely Holiday rental to all ages and hope you have as enjoyable time there as we did.

• "The owners were very helpful and friendly, the property was very clean and very quiet."

  The property was full of character . It was a great location for us, as we visited some national trust places near by. Shops, petrol and takeaways all very close by. All within walking distance from the cottage, approx 5- 10 mins ( petrol and shop and chemists over the road from cottage ) . The driveway of the cottage was actually off the mini island, which made it ideal for our daily trips as the 3 roads from the island led to all major routes.

• "I've never used Sykes before and it was all so easy!"

  ! The listing was easy to understand and comprehensive. It was a very last minute booking over the busy Easter period so i needed to phone in - the girl who took my phone call was very helpful and really nice. The Old Cart shed was cosy and warm upon arrival with a great welcome pack of eggs, milk, biscuits, tea, coffee etc. It had everything you could need ie every faculty like wifi, hair dryer, millions of tv channels and even dog bowl with treats. Also lots of local information, (i highly recommend the Indian across the road.) We love Avebury Stone Circle and that area which was only a 20 minute drive. Allison and Simon the owners were so attentive but also gave you absolute privacy and were really lovely people. Highly recommend Skyes and the Old Cart Shed in Lyneham.

  It manages to be both spacious and cosy. We had a wonderful relaxed new year there. It's a short drive from Royal Wotton Basset and the villiage of Avebury where we saw the amazing 4000+ yeras old stone circles. The owners were friendly and helpful and even left us a little new years gift even though we didnt se them the whole weekend we knew they'd be there if needed. There were shopsm takeaways and things to do just a short walk away too. We didn't want to leave, it's a perfect little living space.

  Plenty of local amenities within walking distance, the enclosed garden is perfect for sitting with a drink and relaxing and the walk along Farthing Lane is brilliant for the dogs and owners to stretch their legs and soak up the countryside.

• "I have never felt compelled to write a review before but The Old Cart Shed was fantastic."

  It was exceptionally clean (and I am a clean freak). It was very, very well resourced and private. It had a beautiful outdoor area where you could sit in peace. Inside was warm and comfortable with lamps and under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. The shower although attached to the taps in the bath was very powerful. There was plenty of storage room and cupboard space. The owner met us after calling him as it was quite difficult to find. He was very helpful and did not disturb us at all over the weekend. I would definitely recommend and return. The pub over the road is quite run down and closes early if there are not many people in. The Curry house over the road is great, one of the best curry's I have had in a long. time.

  There many good walks in the area with good views and easy parking. Talking of parking it was excellent at the cottage as the car could be parked right outside the door just right for packing and unpacking when it is raining. We enjoyed our visit and especially appreciated the way the dog had his bowl and towels waiting for him.
