  The cottage is very close to a large park with lovely dog walks, a playground and cafe but also very close to Swindon for retail therapy. Alison is in regular contact if you need anything. This is our third stay and every time has been excellent . We also booked Brindle cottage next door if you need a family get together

• "Very spacious and well furnished property in a good location."

  Convenient for walking in Lydiard Park. It was comfortable and warm (once the initial chill was off after the first day). M4 motorway wasn’t a problem at all, however the lane immediately outside the cottage was often very busy! A most pleasant stay - we would return.

  Thank you David for your feedback as it is very important to us. We are sorry to hear that you found our cottage a little chilly on the first day. What a shame you didn’t mention this when we messaged on your first day to check everything was ok for you. We would have guided you through the operating instructions which are also inside our information folder left on the table. We were also sorry to hear that the single track road outside the cottage had been very busy. Unfortunately there had been temporary traffic lights on the main road from Swindon to Royal Wootton Bassett that week and traffic then tends to use the smaller roads to avoid the queues. We are glad you had a pleasant stay overall though and hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future! Kind regards Alison and Simon Property Owner

• "On the whole a good cosy cottage with very comfortable beds and ideally placed to visit various attractions in Wiltshire, however, the cottage would benefit from some new towels and bed linen as these were rather tired."

  An extra lamp in the living room would also have been useful.

  Many thanks for your feedback Gillian, we are pleased that you were comfortable in our property and liked the location. We use seersucker bed linen that is non iron; it can give the impression that it is older than it is but it is relatively new. We are sorry that there was no table lamp. Unfortunately it was recently damaged and we haven’t got round to replacing it yet but will be asap. Thanks once again for your feedback we have taken your comments on board and will address them.

• "Roan Cottage provided a very convenient base for exploring the south Cotswolds and beyond into Somerset."

  The accommodation was fairly basic in comparison to our usual bookings but it was very good value being significantly cheaper than our usual options. It was clean, with a useful lawned garden for our dog and comfortable but we found the shower cubicle very small and the cooking facilities fairly basic. Overall, a well-located, comfortable cottage representing very good value.

  We value your feedback and are pleased that you found our property well located, good value and comfortable etc. As your comment regarding the shower may put other guests off from visiting our property we would however like to confirm that the shower is a standard size which suits most people.
