"This is such a gorgeous cottage in a beautiful location and I’m especially grateful to the owners for being really communicative throughout our stay."
There’s a little Post Office/village shop a few minutes’ walk away too - all-round a lovely countryside retreat!
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Kings Cottage South. It's so lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and the lovely walks. We hope to welcome you for another stay very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"It's a great place for a family stay, the house has everything you need."
It could have been a little cleaner, but it wasn't enough to spoil our stay. It felt like an above average family home in cleanliness, rather than spotless. A 2 slice toaster for an 8 birth was a struggle! The kitchen and dining room were where we spent most of our time. Felt it wouldn't have been unreasonable to leave the dishwasher with one load running on departure. So, we felt a little rushed leaving at 10 o'clock after washing and drying up, putting everything back as we found it and stripping the beds. Great walks nearby, the local pub was pricey and a little clicky. The owners cannot control the pub. All in all we would return, it is a lovely place for groups and very tastefully decorated.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Kings Cottage South. We are so pleased you all enjoyed yourself and we have passed on your feedback to the Owner with regards to the cleaning and toaster. We hope to welcome you in the future for another stay. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"A lovely property, very comfortable and beautifully fitted out."
The Aga style hob and oven was a bit of a challenge but we worked it out. The two dishwashers are much appreciated with a group of several people. The garden is at the front of the house and the driveway leads to a road so our dog who has terrible recall had to be closely supervised. The same would apply to children! As with virtually every property we have stayed at, the additional built in Neff double oven could do with a major clean using a scourer. We did not use it because of this. Otherwise, a really enjoyable stay.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you mastered cooking on the Everhot. It is a luxurious feature of this cottage, which many of our customers love, particularly during the winter months. The garden is not advertised as enclosed, although in fact it does have a secure gate onto the road, which is dog-proofed. We are sorry about the Neff oven. It is cleaned every changeover but we will give it a further, extensive clean. Best wishes Fiona Property Owner

"This cottage was extremely well equipped, particularly the kitchen."
It was very comfortable and the location made it ideal to visit places of interest in the area.

"We loved the cottage, Nice bedrooms with bathrooms and a large modern kitchen with diningroom."
The owner was very helpful. The garden is beautiful but not realy suited for children.
Thank you for your feedback. We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your comments regarding the garden. Hopefully this did not leave a lasting impact on your stay. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"This is an absolutely wonderful cottage."
Not only in a beautiful village, with picture postcard vistas, it is extremely well presented and equipped, even if you had the full quota of guests, which is not always the case. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very much hope we will visit again or even the smaller cottage next door. Close to Salisbury, Wilton, Stonehenge, Old Sarum and Amesbury and plenty a bit further afield too. Really, the best of all worlds, countryside walks, city history and heritage. Highly recommended. Would be ideal for a family get together. Marvellous for Christmas. Due to age and layout of cottage there are some low ceilings, varying levels and narrow staircase. This is is only important if you have people in your party that may find it tricky. I would recommend asking if it is likely to be an issue for you. That said my 83 year old mother in law managed ok, carefully! Has downstairs loo which makes life easier. Lovely pub, just refurbished and reopened and community shop, post office/café was very handy. Don't miss Reddish House, former home of Sir Cecil Beaton/Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp, all but next door.
We're so pleased that you all had an enjoyable stay and packed in lots of exploring, it is a great area. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

"Excellent stay at Kings Cottage South, the perfect Christmas holiday rental."
Without question one of the best holiday rentals we have ever stayed. The cottage is very well equipped, furnished and spacious. Ideally located, set in lovely countryside with great walks, and a cosy village pub 10 minute walk away. Will definitely consider staying again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you had a fantastic stay! We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes, Hideaways Property Owner

"We stayed at Kings Cottage South in December for our annual family pre Christmas trip to Longleat Festival of Lights."
We were two families with little ones aged between 3-7 and the cottage was absolutely perfect. It was clean, warm and welcoming, lots of character and nicely finished, kids loved exploring the different levels and room layout. Great kitchen and well equipped. Good location too. We had a great time - despite Longleat actually closing on the day we were supposed to go due to bad weather! Lots of fun memories made - so thank you Kings Cottage South
Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you and your children enjoyed your stay at Kings Cottage in December. We would love to welcome you again - in better weather. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner

"Kings Cottage South: a place for happy returns Our family made its second visit to Kings Cottage South for a week at the end of August 2022."
It was as beautiful, tranquil and as good value as ever. The garden and the river seemed (to our relief after experiencing the effects of drought in London) in pretty good health and added greatly to the experience. The accommodation is maintained to a high standard and the owner has made sure that the kitchen and other downstairs spaces have plenty of entertainments, puzzles and books. Broad Chalke is terrific: river or hill walks, beautiful church, two good pubs, the Queen Head (gastro) and the White Hart (family), and the fabulous, highly professional community shop complete now with a coffee shop. A wonderful place to stay. Date of experience: 20 August 2022
So pleased you had another lovely stay at Kings Cottage South. It was as ever as beautiful, tranquil and you enjoyed the walks, pubs and community coffee shop. Thank you for leaving feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Best Wishes, Hideaways. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Kings Cottage South."
The cottage is extremely well equipped with everything you might need. We loved the garden and outdoor seating and enjoyed a BBQ in the sunshine. The bedrooms are all of a good size our little ones loved the attic room and enjoyed having their own floor. The cottage offers plenty of space and has a few different seating areas where you can enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. Broad Chalke is a lovely little village and has a great little shop for essentials and we highly recommend the Queens Head pub. Both the shop and the pub are within a 10 minute wander of the cottage. We highly recommend Kings Cottage South and would definitely like to return in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback and we're delighted you and your little ones enjoyed the cottage and made the most of the garden, village and surrounding area. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

"8 adults, a baby and a dog, we all had enough space."
The sun room was our favourite space with the “everhot” aga my favourite item. As expected in a grade 2 listed cottage, the upstairs beams/ceiling are a little low in places with lots of protective leather padding. Showering for the taller lads became a different experience each time resulting in much laughter around the table. Beautiful location, great village-fresh watercress, wonderful walking from the house and awaking to the beautiful May dawn chorus was an absolute pleasure (it will be miss)
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback and we're delighted that your family (and dog!) enjoyed your stay. We hope there weren't too many bumped heads when you left! We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

"Kings Cottage South was a great place for a group of friends (such as ourselves) or family."
The living areas were spacious and the kitchen well equipped. The log burner, the aga and underfloor heating kept us cosy and warm. Everything was very clean and the owner greeted us as we arrived late to help us find the key. Sykes Cottages and the owner were very responsive for any queries we had. There seems lots to do in the area although for us as the weather wasn't good we visited some lovely local pubs (recommended by the owner) or played board games in the evening which was great fun. We would happily go again.
We are happy to hear that you had such a good time whilst staying with us at Kings Cottage - South. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

"Lovely stay at Kings Cottage as a group of school friends!"
The space was exactly what we were looking for and was well equipped, very comfortable in a scenic location. The only slight niggle we had was an issue with the shower head in one of the bathrooms but the owner was easily reachable and it didn’t bother us enough to detract from our stay. We will definitely be back!

"We literally can’t fault a thing ."
The attention to detail is perfect . It is a wonderful place to stay , for location, peace, comfort , facilities, space etc. Owner is available if needed , and quick to respond . I would say it’s probably the best place we have stayed for everything. Very relaxing ...

"This cottage was fabulous."
Excellent location, high end kitchen and finishing throughout, great for a family of 8 adults to stay. Oh and the local village pub, minutes walk away really was the icing on the cake. Fabulous food and service. We had a wonderful week!

We would love to welcome you back! Property Owner

"Brilliant holiday rental set in glorious surroundings."
Our hosts were lovely and extremely prompt in sorting out the one issue we had. A slightly better equipped kitchen, (more cooking utensils), would have been nice but its not a game changer and it certainly wouldn't stop us from recommending a stay. We have a fantastic week
Thank you for your feedback, we are are so pleased you had a lovely time! There is a jar of utensils on the side and also plenty more in the draw which perhaps was overlooked. We would be delighted to welcome you back. Property Owner

"This cottage was lovely with lots of space and everything you could need from a home away from home."
Great kitchen and dining room, really cosy. The location is great and convenient for Salisbury. We did a walk around the village and to the neighbouring one. Really nice countryside all around and a very welcoming local pub. Salisbury was a fabulous city. Seeing the cathedral is a must. All in all highly recommend Kings Cottage South and a trip to Wiltshire.

"Very nice cottage, good facilities With a great kitchen/diner and lots of walks etc to do nearby."

"We found Kings Cottage South a wonderful holiday house for a large family of all ages with the luxury of spaces that include an outstanding dining area for 8 off the kitchen, 4 fine bedrooms (one rather magnificent), and a kitchen that boasts two dishwashers among much superior equipment."
Just outside we explored the beautiful Chalke Valley, complete with clear chalk stream, green fields, and walks that suited everybody from the ambler to the hillwalker. The owner is thoughtful and supportive; she has ensured that sound precautions to make the house COVID safe do not obtrude or spoil the special experience… we had a very good week indeed!
Thank you for your amazing comments on Kings Cottage South! Property Owner

"We went as a family to celebrate my 70th birthday,myself my husband our son his wife and 3 year old daughter and our daughter and her husband."
The cottage was large enough for us all and was set in a rather quaint village. We were within driving short distances of Longleat Stonehenge and Salisbury. It was equipped with everything we needed and more including double crockery and cutlery and even 2 dishwashers. Also the communication with the owner whilst there was very good. Would definitely use again and recommend

"We had a really great week away at South Cottage."
Such a lovely place to stay and set in a tranquil village. The cottage is very well equipped, we particularly enjoyed the double dishwasher feature! The place was super clean and the owner got in touch beforehand to assure us of the extra measures put in place to comply with COVID regulations. When we were there, the owner was very helpful and easily available to ask anything by email or text. Broad Chalke is a good base to explore Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire. With young kids, we enjoyed a trip to the Army Flying Museum, the ruins at Old Sarum, Avon Beach, the New Forest and Cholderton Charlie’s Farm. All in all, a fantastic holiday!
Thank you for providing feedback on your recent stay at Kings Cottage. We love hearing how much you have enjoyed your stay and welcome any comments on places to visit. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

"Wonderful holiday cottage."
This exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful week away. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped and has a great home from home feel. It was very clean and with the current covid regulations on place we felt extremely safe. The complimentary tea, coffee, local honey and chocolates were very welcomed! The village has a little park which entertained our little ones and a lovely welcoming pub where we could sit outside easily. Lovely walks around the village. We will be returning.

"Superb cottage, very spacious and spotlessly clean, very well equipped with beautiful gardens, we had a wonderful week."
Location is great, walking distance to village pub and shop, Queens Head pub highly recommended. Great base for visiting the area a week wasn't enough time to see what we wanted to a return visit it on the cards.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments and we would love to welcome you to the cottage in the future so you can continue to explore the area. Property Owner

"The cottage was in a beautiful location, very well presented, spacious, clean and superbly equipped for a larger group of people."
Sykes customer service was fantastic when I had an inquiry they were polite and friendly on the phone and responded to me with a call back the next day as promised. A very happy Christmas holiday for all of us.
-
"The cottage was absolutely beautiful, in a lovely village which was close to everywhere we went, Heavy horse centre, Durdle door, Salisbury, Shaftesbury."
Although most places are approximately 3/4 hour away the roads are good and accessible, easy to follow with sat Nav / directions. The cottage had everything and more, there wasn't a kitchen utensil that was missing, plates, glasses etc The cot and highchair were in place. Beautiful bedrooms, bathrooms, towels & loo roll. A good folder left with helpful advice etc on all the appliances cottage. Absolutely above and beyond expectations - a cottage we will be visiting again xx
-
"Garden is nice but not enclosed so dogs need to be on a lead or know their boundaries."
-
"Great holiday let."
The facilities in the cottage were exceptional, everything you could possibly need & more! The only minor thing was that the garden was not fully enclosed, the gate was not totally escape free for small dogs!! We got over this by putting a line on the lawn to secure him . Would recommend a holiday here.
-
"This was a superb place, lots of room and perfect for our purposes - a reunion of old friends from university."
The cottage is superb and the kitchen is really well equipped. The dining area is lovely and the bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable. We were particularly grateful that a late request to split up the beds in the main bedroom was complied with at short notice. The village itself and the surrounding area is delightful.,
-
"Really nice house and gardens in a lovely village."
A great kitchen and dining area which works really well for a large group; Aga style and traditional cookers, warm floor, good lighting and thoughtfully stocked with the things I invariably forget to bring (tin foil, cling flim, sugar, salt pepper, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid etc - as well as books games and DVDs in the sitting room - some places ive stayed are very bare. Its a nice area too - not far from a local pub, nice walks through the village and surrounding farmland via bridleways and footpaths and interesting to see the watercress farming too.
-
"It was a real pleasure to re-visit Broadchalke and King’s Cottage South – the perfect place to take time out after a hectic few weeks."
Plenty of over-indulgence but some good walking too – some familiar haunts but also some new territory. We were very impressed with Hambledon Hill Iron Age settlement near Iwerne Minster, and enjoyed joining the locals for their coffee morning in the village hall. This is a very special hideaway. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable.
-
"Kings Cottage (South) was absolutely perfect for our XMAS break, not only was the location excellent, with all amenities close at hand, the cottage is very well equipped to a very high standard and the space offered by both the very large dining room and separate sitting room allowed those who wanted to read a book or newspaper the space to do so, without a television on in the background."
Would highly recommend this property for parties comprising different generations and it certainly worked for us.
-
"The house was spacious and we were able to walk every day either from the house or within a 10 mile radius."
Broad Chalke was an ideal centre to base ourselves and within walking distance of the pub and village shop.
-
"Kings cottage south is a stunning property in a lovely location."
Really well laid out and finished to a very high end. There were a few things that could be added. Hair dryers in each room, and a cup or something in the bathroom to hold toothpaste. Finally there was a noice in the master bedroom that woke my parents up each morning and sometimes in the night. We think it was the boiler in the next door property as the flew came out of the roof close to their room. The local area was very picturesque with a watercress farm at the end of the road. The local pub was within easy access and the food very good. We met a few villagers and we were greeted with a warm welcome. With all this in mind we would love to return to Kings cottage and Broad Chalke
Mr Spain, we are sorry about the boiler and wish your parents had told us, as it would have been put right immediately. Regarding hair dryers in all bedrooms, we already provide one for the house but will increase this provision in future. Property Owner

If you get chance go and see the Great Bustards on Salisbury Plain, well worth it!!

About the location
SALISBURY
Andover 17 miles; Southampton 23 miles
The medieval city of Salisbury is the jewel in Wiltshire's crown, dominated by the majestic 13th century Gothic cathedral. The cathedral offers 750 years of history including Britain's tallest spire, the world's best preserved original Magna Carta, and Europe's oldest working clock. The surrounding cathedral close, full of architectural gems, is bordered by the River Avon and ancient Chilmark stone walls. The city offers historic streets with charming half-timbered buildings, traditional pubs, characterful shops and a twice-weekly market. Or, stroll along the Town Path and take in the awe-inspiring views across the water meadows towards the cathedral. After dark, there's a thriving arts scene, including one of the country's leading repertory theatres, a lively arts centre, cinema and a wealth of independent restaurants. Should you want to explore further afield then a short drive from Salisbury takes you to Stonehenge, the National Trust's Stourhead House and gardens, majestic Wilton House, as well as the New Forest National Park, and the Hampshire and Dorset coasts. There's so much to see and do in Salisbury and surrounding area that your only concern will be finding the time to do it all!
