"We had a very pleasant stay and the site was very clean and quiet."
It is a comfortable cabin and the kitchen is easy to use. The towels could have been larger and some kitchen basics like salt and pepper would have been useful. Would recommend this accommodation especially if you have a dog.
-

"A small but lovely place to stay - quiet and relaxing and a very little garden to let the dogs out as it’s entirely enclosed."
All the facilities you could need - oven, washing machine and an airer and iron/ ironing board. Nice shower room and comfortable bed. Ideal for a weeks stay to enable you to explore the local area. Very happy we chose the Log Cabin!

"We had a very enjoyable stay at the log cabin."
It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a very relaxing week away. Some people have said how small it was which I expected but actually it was a comfortable space and bigger than I thought so for two adults and a Greyhound a decent size….hopefully we will return again soon.
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"What a cute cottage!"
It was far bigger than we were expecting. Lovely comfy bed with modern en suite, The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you might need. The enclosed patio out front was fantastic for morning coffee. It’s in a very peaceful location but not far from the local shops, towns and attractions. The owners are very friendly and keep the whole place looking clean and pretty. Please try to ignore any negative comments about this property, they are unfounded!
Thank you for your appreciation , nice to know you enjoyed your stay here . Property Owner

"The cooking utensils were what we described as disgusting but the owner disputed this description."
We left after 3 days and would never recommend this cabin to anyone.
As a holiday home owner I make sure I am available if guests need anything or have any issues during their stay, if you had contacted me or Sykes Cottages whilst you were in the property I would have rectified any issues. I was very shocked to receive this review, the property is thoroughly cleaned between visits, and we have always received fabulous reviews. Property Owner

"I had a fabulous holiday in Wiltshire."
I went out and explored the surrounding areas by car and my foot. The cabin was beautiful and had everything I needed for my stay. A really lovely place and Janet was so kind. I was left a bottle of wine and chocolates for when I arrived. Wonderful place and will definitely look to go back again in the future. I would recommend this lovely cabin in the gorgeous Wiltshire countryside.

"Lovely log cabin, very cosy and comfortable."
A lovely place to come back to at the end of the day and relax - we loved seeing the ponies when we got back too! Great facilities and good use of the small space. Hosts were really helpful and generous. A good location for seeing all the historic sights in the area, shops only a short drive away.

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Log Cabin in Bushton."
We booked in for a week with our 2 Beagles, and I was expecting something rather basic as we were allowed to have the dogs with us. However, when we arrived, we went into the cabin which had all of the facilities needed, it was super clean, and very comfortable. There was also air conditioning which was fab in such hot weather, a washing machine and a decent sized fridge freezer. The Proprietors are lovely people and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"We have just returned from a lovely week break at the lodge, the facilities were very clean, the lodge is relaxing and the owners of the site were very friendly, professional and helpful the lodge exceeded our expectation."
Very comfortable, relaxing and have a lovely "feel". We had everything provided that we needed, as dog owners, we have never felt so welcome. This is a true little gem of a site and we would thoroughly recommend this site to dog owners. The walks near the site are beautiful, woods, fields, etc. We look forward to visiting again.
-

"Although on the small side,the cabin was perfectly adequate for 2 people."
The bed was comfortable (memory foam),good shower and kitchen facilities. Location was good base for travelling to Avebury and Bath. Good parking space right outside cabin. The 'B' roads are wide enough for 2 cars in the area.
-
"Good place, but only thing is that there is not anywhere at property to take dog to toilet."
You have to take dog out onto busy country road and along to field to walk dog. Late night walk before bed needs a torch.
-
"Extremely good value for money."
Very warm welcome received at the chalet and enjoyed every minute.
-
"Advised dog friendly but wanted you to take your dog to the field opposite to go to the toilet."
Not something we wanted to do late at night or first thing in the morning. Also no local information for walks or attractions left in the cottage.
-
"The cabin was very well maintained and kitted out."
Very nice indeed.

Well worth the money and would stay again.

About the location
ROYAL WOOTTON BASSETT
Swindon 6.7 miles; Malmesbury 10.7 miles; Bath 31 miles.
Situated at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills, in rural northern Wiltshire and close to the border with Gloucestershire, the friendly market town of Royal Wootton Bassett can be found. The town was granted Royal patronage in 2011, due to the part it played in the repatriation of military personnel who sadly lost their lives serving their country overseas. It boasts a weekly market and offers a good selection of local shops and inns, providing 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. The coastal resorts of Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea are just over an hour's drive for anyone wanting to dip their toes in the sea. Visit the charming town of Malmesbury and the Cotswold Water Park and with the historic cities of Bath, Oxford and Salisbury all easily accessible, this area really makes an interesting touring centre at any time of the year.
Note: No children.
Note: This property was previously called The Chalet.
