"Six of us had a wonderful stay at Cosy Cot."
The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated, with a very cosy living room with a fire. Lovely garden and views of the church. We travelled to Salisbury by train and took the bus to the village. We stayed for three nights and went on various walks around the area, including to the Rainbow on the Lake pub in a neighbouring village for lunch (great food), and to Stonehenge (long walk, great views). I would recommend this cottage.
Thank you for your feedback and we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Cosy Cot and it sounds like you made the most of the area also. We hope to welcome you all again for another stay with us soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"On the whole we had a great time and the cottage is beautiful and set in a lovely spot between other thatched cottages and a church."
One problem we had was the oven did not seem to work very well (although we ate out most days, so not a major issue for us). There was no hot water on our last morning (again not a major problem for us as it was the last morning). What a great place though.

The facilities are very good, the house and garden are beautiful. There are countless beautiful destinations within easy reach of Stapleford. It was a marvellous two weeks in the south of England!

"We loved this cosy cottage and had a great stay."
It was very clean and every comfort was provided including the kitchen equipment and generous provision of towels and bathroom accessories. The garden was delightful (when weather permitted us to relax outside) A little gem!
Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you had such an enjoyable stay and managed to relax in the garden too. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Oven very difficult to use."
Knobs broken and heat on hob uncontrollable - oven needs replacement. Shower not easy to use - tap not functioning properly and water temperature hard to regulate. Double bed in bedroom too large for room.
The plumber visited promptly same day I believe and fixed the broken thermostat . Sorry about the oven knob as you didn’t make us aware. In a historic cottage it’s difficult to furnish to please all needs. Sorry Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cosy Cot."
It was picture perfect and very comfortable. The location was tranquil and well situated for day trips out to numerous places in Wiltshire and it's neighbouring counties. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for helping make our holiday a good one.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, we're delighted you had an enjoyable holiday. Cos Cot has an ideal location and is a lovely base to come back to. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

"We have just come back from a lovely stay at the Cosycot."
The property is very pretty in a quiet location. The beds were so comfortable but I would suggest a darker curtain in the back double bedroom. A few of the windows need fixing, so that they can close properly. The pelican pub is walkable from the cottage along the road or you can go across the field which is quicker. We also took a bus into Salisbury which stops at the bus shelter just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. It only cost £2.00 & comes once an hour. There is also a lovely church which you can visit. I would recommend the Cosycot for anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing weekend away in the country with special friends.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback on your stay at Cosy cot. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your retreat and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We hope to welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, HideAways. Property Owner

"Absolutely stunning cottage in a superb rural picturesque location , easy reach of Salsibury,Poole,Stonehenge ,cheddar and much more, Four adults enjoyed a wonderful 5 days, the cottage facilities were clean and had everything you needed , Only thing that really marred my stay was the double mattress in rear room, was so uncomfortable ,and the bedding could have been of a better quality, resulting in four nights of poor sleep, however the rest of my party in the other two bedrooms did not experience this, so I would suggest this mattress may need replacing and invest in some winter bedding for winter guests."
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're delighted you loved the cottage and location but sorry to hear that you found one of the mattresses uncomfortable. We hope this didn't impact your stay and have passed on these comments to the owners. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage we loved it, lovely warm and cosy our greyhound loved the underfloor heating."
Well stocked with everything you may need, lovely box of chocolates. Kitchen well equipped but some pots and pans could do with replacing. The cooker works well but the oven needs at least an hour to get up to full heat turned up to full power to cook the Christmas dinner but once we sussed this it was great, could do with some instructions. Thank you so much we really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for your great feedback. We're so pleased that you all, including the dog, had a cosy stay. Thank you for the comments re the kitchen equipment, we will look into this with the owner. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

"Our stay at CosyCot was lovely ."
The property is lovely and in a beautiful location . It had everything we needed and was such a lovely place to relax in . I spoke to the owner the day before we arrived and she asked if we needed anything that wasn’t already provided. I would recommend a stay here.
Thank you for this lovely feedback and we're so glad you loved the cottage and location which made for a relaxing stay. We hope to welcome you again. Hideaway Cottages Property Owner

"Great house !"
We loved it. Visited Salisbury and bath. Great walks. The pub the boots inn was a little bit disappointing. We enjoyed to cook in the kitchen an ear outside.
Brilliant you loved Cosy Cot and the walks. Sorry to hear The Boots was disappointing but glad you enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and managed to eat outside. Thank you for leaving feedback. Best Wishes Hideaways. Property Owner

"We had a lovely time at the cottage, it is a beautiful place."
However, we were a party of five and only four bath towels and one hand towel were provided. Also there is no lock on the bathroom door which was quite inconvenient at times. The bed linen was clean but not ironed. I know that the cottage is old but there was peeling paint in a few places, which could very easily have been touched up. Paying over a thousand pounds for two nights, it was disappointing, purely because of the lack of comfort.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and we're glad you had a lovely time at the cottage. We're sorry that you encountered a few issues during your stay and appreciate you bringing these to our attention. There are plenty more towels in the main bedroom and had you messaged me as per the information on the welcome sheet we would have been able to assist. We use an external laundering service who do press the sheets but perhaps they were creased from the very hot covid wash that we insist on. Our handyman has since repaired the broken lock on the bathroom door which we were unaware of so I do apologise for any inconvenience. Finally, Cosy Cot is a 16th century period property with walls made with old materials and no cavities - they have to breathe so we have to use lime mortar paint. This is prone to regular peeling and we do try and maintain them as much as possible. However during busy turn around times in July and August we cannot have enough drying time so we do these repairs in the shoulder seasons. Thank you for pointing this out and we will do our best to tend to it as soon as possible. Property Owner

"We loved the beautifully appointed Cosy Cottage!"
Classy furnishings and bathroom. Warm and cosy, with ample of space for a family and dog. A lovely village with great local pubs, it was truly a great stay in a lovely county! Thank you! Mark Waters

"Cosy Cot is a beautiful cottage a tranquil setting."
We were a group of six adults for the weekend and two of us stayed for the week. There is ample space for six but there were a few queues for the bathroom! The kitchen is well equipped and the separate dining room is great for family meals. We would have loved to stay longer .
Thank you so much for your feedback and we're delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Cosy Cot. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

"The reason for the low score on comfort was due to the heating in the bathroom and the bedrooms."
I did contact the contact person several times but they were unable or not willing to come and sort it out they keep saying we have played with a thermostat which we hadn't touched. This left us cold on several nights in the bathroom and bedrooms.
Thank you for providing your feedback and we're sorry to hear of the issues you encountered with the heating in the bathroom and bedrooms. We have passed on your comments to the owners and hope that this did not have a lasting impact on your stay. Property Owner

"The cottage is beautiful and reasonably well equipped and would have been a perfect place to relax."
The heating or lack of it and the lack of hot water due to boiler failure was inexcusable especially as the owner claims she was there in the morning of our stay. The shower head needed changing because of the build up of limescale and we could not wash or shower for the whole 7 days. Rather than coming out to visit the property to help us out the owner sent the plumber 4 times to keep trying to fix the issue. We then had the plumber for 4 days whilst trying to relax. If this happened to my house that I rent out I would be mortified but the owner kept needing to be chased during the holiday and to be honest we felt wasn't really that interested by the fact that she didn't come out to inspect the issue. At the end of the day, I would have refunded 100% as the holiday was not as described due to the lack of relaxing. I would have accepted 50% as a reasonable offer for the complete disastrous holiday. Instead a derisory sum of £200 taken off. The result of this is one disgruntled customer who now feels leaving a bad review for the property. If only the owner would understand the problems that were of her making and the lack of understanding since to her customer
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us. We are extremely sorry you had a negative experience at Cosy Cot. The owner did every thing possible to rectify the issue and was informed by the plumber you did have heating and hot water throughout the duration of your stay with reduced pressure which was out of the owners control. It has not been fully restored. We are pleased you received a partial refund as recompense for the problems encountered. Property Owner

"Stunning thatched cottage."
Underfloor heating and open fire makes it super toasty. Comfy bed with tv in bedroom. And thank you for being dog friendly.

"Cosy Cot is clean, tidy and well equipped."
There is plenty of space inside and outside. We appreciated things such as a washing machine, dish washer and the wood burning stove. The bathroom is an extra nice feature of the house and it had both a comfortable bathtub and a shower. Even though the parking was not directly on the property it was close and convenient. The cottage itself is a nice looking building (inside and out) and its setting is also most appealing. We are from outside the UK and it was our first time visiting Wiltshire. We found it a pleasure to come home to Cosy Cot each evening we stayed there. The owners of Cosy Cot are conscientious and considerate. I would stay there again. I would recommend it to others.

"A lovely little cottage that suited the two of us well."
However, the heating system need re-setting. The upstairs radiators come on the middle of the night but not at all during the day. The underfloor heating is very nice but on certain days it went off completely. We were hoping to return for a winter break but not being able to trust the heating will put us off.
Thank you for your comments on Cosy Cot, the heating is controlled and unfortunately previous guests had changed the settings. The owner wishes you would have contacted her whilst in the property as she could have either attended the cottage or gave instructions over the phone on how to adjust the heating. Many thanks Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Great cottage and beautiful location but being realistic if there were six people in the 6 beds it's a bit of a push with one bathroom and toilet, both of which are in the same room."
Very comfortable for 4. Beautifully done inside and lovely front garden to get the sunset and rear courtyard area. There is a rear upper garden but the number of wasps put us off using it! Huge apple tree might have been the attraction. The Bell Inn pub 5 mins drive in Wylye highly recommended for lunch dinner and prosecco afternoon tea! I'll be coming back.
We would love to welcome you back! Property Owner

"Cosy Cot is a lovely cottage in a great location."
It worked really well despite the heat wave. We loved watching the world go by during the cool mornings and evenings.

"CosyCot Cottage is as quaint and cosy as it looks."
Comfortable beds, roll top bath, high ceiling dining room, beautiful apple tree in the garden and next to the beautiful village church. It was clean and equipped and ideally placed for quiet countryside peace and exploration. Julia was an amazing and responsive host. Much, much needed relaxation from London and NHS mayhem!

"Loved the cottage, very comfortable."
Loved the peace and quiet of the village. Husband, ex postie even managed to chat with a local, also a postal worker!. Rather a short break so not much time to assess. One or two small things, it was very warm downstairs, no notes on turning down the heating, although we had 2 small children so it was good for them. They loved the warm floor! We did not use the cooker, only the microwave. We couldn't find any instructions and it was not a model were are familiar with. The wood fire, the same, although I would be wary of using it with small children around, and it wasn't needed this time. We would like to come back for a longer visit, but won't be eating out every day like this time, so the oven instructions would be useful. Elder daughter in the small bedroom failed to find the duvet, tucked under the pillows like a hotel does, until she stripped the bed on the last day. We had a few stubbed toes on the step down to the dining room, but we eventually got used to it and nothing broken.
Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and have passed your comments on to the owners. Property Owner

"It is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage, so it was very pleasant to stay in it."
The only remark we have is that some more information would be nice, e.g. about rubbish collection, where to get some more fire logs, where shops are, etc. But overall very pleasant and indeed cosy cottage!
We have put your suggestions to the owner. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely stay. Property Owner

"The cottage is warm and comfortable, with a lovely big kitchen and a fantastic patio area and garden."
We had everything we needed. The area had so much to do: we cycled to Stonehenge and visited Salisbury and Bath. Lots of wildlife and countryside on the doorstep.
-
"Cosy Cot is a beautiful cottage."
We had a wonderful week catching up with friends. The surroundings are peaceful and perfect. It is a lovely place to go for walks or jump in the car for a drive to Salisbury. We had snow on our stay making everything even more beautiful.
-
"I would like to thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage with us."
We have thoroughly enjoyed it. The visit was made extra special because I could bring my human family with me. P.S. I would recommend the Boot Pub in Berwick St James for wonderful pub meals and genuine dog friendly environment.
-
"Thanks for a lovely stay in a very picturesque cottage."
Excellent facilities and a stunning environment. Salisbuy is a great town and there are plenty of places to eat. For those who are interested, Stonehenge is also worth a visit. Many thanks.

"Such a charming cottage in a truly picturesque location."
We all enjoyed the Cosycot experience - would definitely come back!!

"We had a very enjoyable stay so much so we decided to stay a extra night."
The cottage and surrounding area are beautiful and this made our weekend perfect..... we both had an amazing time. Cosy Cot was exactly what we wanted.
-
"My wife and I and our dog stayed here for a very relaxing week."
The cottage is lovely to look at from outside and equally impressive inside, spacious and well maintained. Outside, the gardens are well maintained and spread over 3 levels. The village is picturesque with a church next door and other thatched cottages in the street. There are a few good pubs locally and Salisbury only a few miles away.
-
"We had a truly memorable week at Cosy Cot exploring the many different attractions that Wiltshire has to offer."
Stonehenge, Bath and Longleat were all visited and didn't disappoint. Cosy Cot was just what we needed in terms of comfort as well as being very picturesque. Evenings were spent by the fireside dining in and playing board games. All this plus an excellent broadband connection - who could ask for more?
-
"Cosy Cot is a lovely cottage, full of character, very well equipped and with everything you need."
The location of Stapleford is beautiful with Salisbury nearby. PS our dogs loved it immensely too!
-
"Cosy Cottage is a lovely little country retreat."
Perfect for 3 + Doggy.Great local walks are available nearby. We also made the easy 20 minute journey into salisbury and visited the cathedral. The Home is lovely and warm, the wood burner is perfect and a great kitchen for cooking. The garden is great for dog to explore. The property has a great location next to the church. All in all a wonderful weekend away - We'll be back!

"A beautifully presented and lovingly furnished country gem, situated near to Salisbury and the historic Stone Henge."
Cosy Cot provided a fantastic getaway for myself, my husband and 3 other friends (all 30+). The cottage itself is the perfect size for 5-6 adults or 4 adults and 2 kids- the only drawback is there is only 1 bathroom so you do have to juggle a little in the mornings! Having said that, the bathroom is quite large and well equipped, with a nice sized shower and bath. Bedrooms are also ample and the living room and dining room are comfortable and plenty big enough to accommodate this number of guests. The vaulted ceiling and show piece chandelier in the dining area were spectacular. The log burning hearth is a nice touch and the owners supply a small amount of logs to use here if you so wish. There is also a nice sized garden area, though it was too cold for us to use this! An addition of a hot tub would make this the actual dream! The kitchen is well equipped and I was impressed to see matching table wear (this never happens in holiday rentals!) It was also useful to have a dishwasher and the range cooker was stunning (although some instructions for this would be useful and we couldn't find any induction pans). The kitchen was well stocked with condiments and cleaning supplies. The under floor heating was an absolute luxury that we all loved, and there is also heating for upstairs - just take care to ensure this temp is turned up high enough during the day or the evenings can get a bit nippy. When we arrived the cottage was beautifully clean and tidy and it really is a chocolate box, picturesque treat, right in the countryside. For those interested, it's also right next to a Pokestop! Parking isn't ideal (you park just down the road) but there is plenty of space and because it's so quiet in the area, it isn't really too much of a problem. There are also a few pubs nearby, so if you fancy a walk for food you wouldn't have too far to go. There is a nice little farm shop about a 3 minute drive away too, which also serves breakfast and lunch (and the meals were lovely). It's also not too far from Salisbury, where you have literally hundreds of places to choose from to eat in, and plenty of really nice pubs, ranging from the contemporary to your more traditional British. Overall, a brilliant place to stay at a very competitive price for the quality of accommodation that you experience.

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.
