"We had a lovely week at Breach cottage."
We had two adults and two children (aged 10 and 5). The weather was lovely so being able to open the patio doors out onto the courtyard meant we could hear the birdsong from the living room. The girls loved playing in the garden. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed and had a good variety of dishes and crockery. We enjoyed some meals outside on the patio with the evening sunshine.
Phil and Claire were very welcoming as was Toby their dog. Toby was often kept on a long lead outside which gave the girls an opportunity to say hello to him when we came and went from the cottage - he was very friendly and we enjoyed seeing him. Phil and Claire were on hand to give us suggestions for places to go for a walk and information about the area but otherwise we were left to our own devices. Urchfont is a beautiful picturesque village.
Thank you for a lovely comfortable week.

"Lovely friendly owners, accommodation set in a very nice village close to army ranges which is great if you like hearing helicopters and and tanks when an exercise is in progress."
Lots of places close by to visit and lots of countryside to walk in with many byways to walk along too. Ideal place to base in Wiltshire.

"Breach Cottage was amazing!"
Small but perfectly formed, it is a 2 bedroom accommodation (one very comfy double, one twin), with lovely lounge (two very comfy double sofas), kitchen/diner and bathroom all on one level, very clean and with everything you need. There was also a very pleasant outside area with chairs and table. It is completely separate from the owner’s cottage, with its own entrance and off road parking space. Claire, the owner, is on hand to help if necessary, and she and Sykes Cottages were quick in replying to our request. Set in a beautiful village, it is close to small shop, post office and pub (sadly not open due to covid). There are several lovely walks nearby. We had a great day in Winchester, about an hour away, where, along with visiting its beautiful cathedral, there are lots of things to do and see. Highly recommended and would stay again! Thanks Claire!

"The cottage is based in a beautiful setting and is a good base for visiting surrounding areas."
It was lovely and clean upon arrival but is in need of some maintenance there is a strong damp smell when you open the kitchen cupboards and it makes the things inside smell of it as well. It’s quite an old building and was warm enough in Aug, but I wouldn’t like to stay in there in the winter months. The owners who live next door are very friendly, but not in your face interfering.

"We stay in around ten cottages each year ."
Breach Cottage left us disappointed are a welcome pack of only one item a pint of milk. There was no coffee and only six tea bags which meant on our arrival a dash to the shops in Devices which also includes buying toilet rolls as only one supplier . We were not impressed .

"Lovely week in Breach cottage."
Cottage is comfy warm and cosy and we loved coming back to it each day. Urchfont is a very friendly village with great walks and a well stocked little shop. Quiz on the last sunday of the month in the local pub the lamb was excellent. We visited Avebury Devizes Salisbury Marlborough and Hungerford. Didnt bother with Stonehenge as it costs 20 pounds each. Avebury stone circles just as good and free. Hungerford great for antiques. Ate at the Royal oak and the Millstream both excellent

"An excellent holiday venue."
What I particularly appreciated was that the owners lived next door in Breach House. We were met on arrival and there was frequent contact during the week we were there. Not because we needed anything extra but mainly a chance to know the couple, who were very pleasant and like us, retired.
Just to say we believe this is the third time Sykes have found us accommodation and every time we have been well satisfied. We hope to be able to use you again

"What a fantastic cottage."
This cottage gave us everything we needed for our weeks family holiday and we will certainly be returning again.
The cottage is far more spacious than the photos show and was well equipped with everything we needed.
The cottage is situated in the most beautiful little village which my children loved walking to feed the ducks at the nearby pond.
Would highly recommend to everyone x

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The cottage feels larger than was apparent from the photos, and perfectly equipped for a family of four and a dog. When we arrived there was milk in the fridge and shortbread biscuits on the table. The enclosed gardens were large and lush. Urchfont is a lovely village which has rightly won best-kept village competitions recently. Just over the road from the cottage is the local primary school with a large playground, and walking paths alongside fields and leading into ancient woodlands with self-guided paths to views overlooking a white horse carved into the hillside. We were also extremely well situated for days out in Marlborough, Devizes and Salisbury. The kids were asking us to stay longer, and family who saw my photos online were asking for details of the cottage - I am certain we will come back again.
