• "The property is very well equipped, not sure I can think of anything that was missing, and in a beautiful location."

  We were greeted by the owners,who were lovely and gave us directions to walks etc.. The large fully enclosed paddock was perfect for the dog. There are many walks from the property including my favourite, along the canal to the village, stopping at the post office to buy freshly baked cakes! It was a perfect break.

• "A lovely, warm, well presented, comfortable and spacious cottage."

  Plenty of storage in every room. The added bonus was the dog proof paddock, excellent for our very energetic spaniel! We visited four National Trust properties Ashdown Hunting Lodge, Basildon, Lacock Abbey and Mottifont as well as Crofton Beam Engines. A walk to Great Bedwyn was also enjoyed. The railway line didn’t bother us.

• "Although it is mentioned that the trains run we had not realised how close they were and still going in the early hours of the morning."

  There was no heating in the shower room so nowhere to dry towels. There seemed to be a lot of activity in the night in the roof scampering and also in the floor above the downstairs bedroom.

  Spacious and cosy. Well equipped and thought out. Some nice little touches too.

• "Accommodation is spacious and well equipped with good WiFi."

  There is direct access on foot to the canal towpath and many local walks. Some people might find the trains passing close by an irritant but we enjoyed seeing them and especially counting the freight trucks. Savernake Forest and Vale of Pewsey are interesting and relatively quiet areas to explore. Cottage and surrounding area absolute gems.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at the Clock Tower."

  The house was well equipped, comfortable and very clean. The owner made us feel very welcome and had thought of every detail. Excellent value. The dogs loved the paddock. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with lovely walks directly from the cottage. It is an area of England unknown to us but we will be back and would have no hesitation in booking the Clock Tower again.

• "We had a really lovely time, as did all our guests."

  The only negative was the last two nights my husband woke up with backache. It came as a shock that I needed to be “buzzed” into the gate on arriving at the property. As a result I think that I was quite sharp when asking to be let in

• "A very comfortable place to stay and one where a great deal of small items you would normally have to supply yourself were already there."

  Very clean with good facilities which made you feel at ease as soon as you set foot in the place. This was a great place to stay and use as a base for visiting other areas, walking, or for even chilling out in the garden. We have a dog and there is a lovely well fenced secure paddock where she could run around with out the fear of her getting out. If I had any criticism of it, there are some areas of the property that could do with some attention and I am sure that is in hand, and is also just my observation. This in no way spoilt our time there or detract us from the fact we had a lovely holiday and would recommend it to anyone. We would like to thank you for a most enjoyable holiday.

• "We have two large dogs and enjoy staying in rural locations with access to many walks."

  The clocktower is an ideal spot for this, with the very large ancient wood, Savernape close by, the canal tow path and lots of right of way across other woods and farmland. We also found several local pubs serving excellent food at reasonable prices. Visitors have access to a very large field to exercise their dogs and there is no worry about dogs getting out into fields full of livestock (a big concern for us), that enabled us to relax a bit more. The property is very comfortable, lovely beds and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners live on site, not instrusive and very friendly, so if there was a problem I wouldn't have hesitated to have a chat with them about it, but the need didn't arise. We had a lovely a wonderful enjoyable week.

  We had a wonderful stay again, Mary and her husband were friendly and helpful especially when the microwave wasnt working and they replaced it immediately. We are looking forward to returning in December

• "Very well equipped and clean."

  Field for the dogs a huge bonus. My only issue is the lack of ventilation in the bedrooms. I realise the underground room would be difficult but having no windows to the outside in the other two bedrooms I felt was strange especially as I like open windows at night.

• "Fantastic, well equipped, cottage in an amazing location Clock Tower Cottage is in an amazing location, with fields all around and the Kennet And Avon canal a few minutes’ walk away."

  It has its own secluded garden, access to a huge paddock, and is a really quiet and relaxing environment. We loved just sitting watching the wildlife, which included rabbits, red kites and buzzards. The owners, Mary and Martin, are lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. They had lots of advice about the area, and things to do and see, and were able to recommend walks, local amenities, and pubs. The cottage itself is really well equipped, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. There were lots of pamphlets and other information about things to do in the area, including a set of booklets describing local walks. The cottage is really spacious, especially the lounge, which has great views over the surrounding countryside, and everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy. This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in, and we can highly recommend it. We will certainly be returning in future.

• "We had a great stay."

  It would be nice to have somewhere to hang washing outside and BBQ would be good for summer months. It doesn't mention the electric gate on description, so we were slightly suprised by this. Everything was available inside, nice suprise to see there was a tumble dryer. Lovely area and good walks nearby.

• "After many false starts we finally managed to have our holiday at Clocktower Cottage."

  Mary greeted us on arrival and explained about using the key fob to enter the main electric gate in the car when accessing the cottage. The cottage was in immaculately clean and very spacious. We took the downstairs bedroom which was huge and with its own en suite. Although below ground level it was airy and sun pipes and electric provided adequate lighting. Large enclosed paddock beside cottage which dogs loved. Situated in a beautiful and quiet part of Wiltshire with access to lots of walks and some lovely country pubs. Highly recommended.

• "Clock Tower Cottage is a wonderful place to spend time with family."

  It is in a great location with wonderful gardens and the bonus of the huge paddock for the dogs to run around. We had a great time playing with the Frisbee; there is so much space. The cottage is immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay; having the owners living nearby was a bonus. They are so friendly; their local knowledge of the area was really helpful and they welcomed us at the start to make sure everything was ok. Giving us information about the towpath walks and nearby woodland walks, as well as information about the nearest shopping facilities was very useful. I would definitely recommend Clock Tower Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.

• "The dog friendly and dog secure accommodation, garden, and paddock meant we could totally relax."

  Our 2 springers loved the freedom of the large paddock (which was an unexpected bonus). There were several pamphlets for local walks which covered different distance and started/finished at local Inns serving good and well priced food. The shops in the village served our needs and were both welcoming and reasonably priced. The keyword for the whole holiday was relaxing - and with the bonus of very welcome long distant views. Added advantage of having the Host nearby to help in case of any problems.

  Fridge had not been cleaned. Worktops not clean. Food crumbs over the sofa in the lounge. Furniture in lounge in poor condition. Outside furniture in the garden literally falling apart. Basement bedroom damp. Basement bathroom very damp & smelt damp. Owners dogs pooing around the area we were staying. Not pleasant. We picked up after our small dog always. Owners dogs running freely around guests accommodation which should not be happening. As we were told to arrive later than original time we had booked because of deep cleaning reference Covid that is a joke.

• "Perfectly equipped for our family for a work/staycation."

  To wake up to the green fields, no noise except the birds and rabbits was an absolute delight. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you need for the kitchen. The local walks, bike rides and pubs were amazing...and people actually talk to you! The owners could not have been more accommodating for our nervous dog...they built a fence around the garden to have a safe place for him to roam....VERY grateful and happy for their kindness. They told us we would relax after being in their cottage and YES we certainly did. Exactly what our family needed to get out of the ‘rat-race’ and reconnect. Thank you

• "A lovely, roomy and comfortable venue, and every possible accessory we could possibly have needed for our stay."

  Having dogs, it would be preferable if they fenced the immediate garden around the property, to stop escapism onto the very narrow and busy road outside, and to stop any aggravation to other properties on site. In mitigation, access to the very large paddock was great for exercising the dogs, but not very feasible when an animal needs to go out during the night, or first thing in the morning, without having to get dressed first.
