• "The photos don't do the property justice, it was far better than expected and has a real wow factor."

  Perfect for larger groups as the rooms are so spacious allowing groups to be in the room doing different things but feeling inclusive - the pool table was a great bonus. All the bedrooms were comparable which went down well with everyone. Location is very quiet and Martin was so helpful throughout our stay, especially sorting out the hot tub for us. Overall a great place to stay.

  G. Avebury, Uffington, Castle Combe and more. What is special about this property is that even with nine people it never felt crowded. The pool table and hot tub were very welcome!

• "Stunning property - loved it!"

  We had a wonderful holiday at The Anchorage. The property is amazing, so much space and light and extremely well fitted out to very high standard. We were greeted by Martin the owner who could not have been more helpful, and provided us with a tray of fresh organic eggs from the farm which were voted the best we have tasted. A lovely touch. The kitchen/ diner is very spacious and airy. The dining table seated all of us comfortably. Martin made us twin beds where needed, the beds were super comfy and the bathrooms extremely well appointed. The pool table/lounge was great too and as mentioned in another review has the most gorgeous chandeliers. The gardens and views from the property are spectacular. The utility room and washer and dryer were incredibly useful especially with two little ones in our party. The log-fired hot tub was great too. Thanks for a brilliant stay. Highly recommend The Anchorage, we will be returning and indeed have already booked another visit!

• "Our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish."

  The property provided everything that was needed to make our stay a very memorable one. We were welcomed by the owner on arrival and made to feel extremely comfortable from the moment we arrived, and he gave a tray of eggs as a welcome gift(Would have preferred a tray of lager!!) We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is thinking of booking it. Can’t wait to stay here again.

• "Lovely house."

  Great layout of bedrooms. Facilities were fantastic, we loved the hot tub and the pool table. Washing machine and tumble dryer were a real bonus, we came home with lots of clean clothes instead of lots of washing. Plenty of parking. Loads of space for all of us to spread out and not be on top of each other. Would recommend to all my friends.

• "What an amazing cottage."

  I say cottage lightly the place is huge. Martin was really welcoming and always on hand (even on Boxing day). The rooms were spotless. We did have one maintenance issue that wasn't resolved but I appreciate calling for a plumber over Christmas might have been a tad difficult. All in all a great stay, we cannot wait to return.

• "Our weekend stay at The Anchorage was incredibly enjoyable."

  All 10 of us (friends/family) were extremely impressed with the property and the facilities. We were met on our arrival on the Friday by Martin, the owner who showed us around. Martin was very helpful and available by phone if we needed anything. The pool table and hot tub were a hit with all of us. We ventured out to Malmesbury on the Saturday. We decided to spend a relaxing day at The Anchorage on the Sunday and set ourselves the challenge of completing the 1000 piece Amazon Rainforest jigsaw which we finally managed to complete before we left Monday morning. We were all in agreement that it was definitely a place we wanted to come back to in the future. What a brilliant place you have Martin.

• "Have just returned from a wonderful weekend break."

  The moment we walked through the front door we knew we had booked a winner! An absolutely stunning place to stay. 10 of us went to the Anchorage for a friends birthday treat. There was so much room. The kitchen/ diner is huge. The dining table seats 10 comfortably. All bedrooms bar one were en suite, but even then the bathroom was so close to the room. Martin made us twin beds where needed. The lounge has the most gorgeous chandeliers in different colours. The gardens and views from the property just wonderful in their autumn colours. All in all breathtaking ..... we will return! P.s ..... just reading other reviews ....no eggs for us

  Thanks Catherine. It was great having you here for your celebrations. I am glad you enjoyed the property with particular mention to the lights in the lounge. It makes the many hours spent hanging the multi coloured glass droplets worth while after all ;-). Look forward to yout next visit. Martin. Property Owner

  It was very clean everywhere, the rooms were all wonderfully decorated. A perfect location. There were 8 of us staying in th 5 bedrooms and we never felt on top of each other as this property is so spacious. We didnt really want to go out anywhere and leave the wonderful property. Martin, the owner introduced himself and we knew he was available should we need him. No issues at all. We would definitely return to this property or one of the others on Nables Farm.

  Absolutely loved the house and no doubt will be returning. The owners have gone to great lengths to make sure everything you can possibly need is there. Lovely big house that accommodated 9 of us easily. Martin provided us with so many eggs that were delicious. Location is great just off the M4 and for visiting so many local towns. Lovely setting and enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the last of the summer sun. We plan to visit again and go to Bath and Bristol next time. Highly Recommend.....

• "The house is magnificent with a huge amount of space for 10 to get away from each other."

  One day was incessant pouring rain so we never went out and had a lovely day. 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms are ideal although it’s a pity one is not en suite although it is very close. Lighting the hot tub is fun and we even got it too hot and had to wait for it to cool.

  Hi Wendy. Glad you had a great week and the house worked well for the group. We agree, A shower room for every bedroom works well for large groups. A little tip for the hot tub - if it gets too hot then just top it up with cold water from the spa tap alongside (like you would a bath) as appose to waiting for it to cool down naturally. Hope to see you again sometime. Martin. Property Owner

• "Lack of general information on property, local facilities in the area and kitchen utensils would have enhanced our stay."

  Saying that The Anchorage was very comfortable ,clean and spacious inside and out and well positioned.

  Thank you for your review. I’m glad you found the property comfortable, clean and spacious. Information provided within the guest book and provisions given, particularly in reference to the kitchen, have up until now, been more than adequate for previous guests. That said, upon receipt of your list, I did fulfil your wish list and provided you with the items you believed to be lacking whilst pointing out the items that were already in the property that you missed. However, with all good intentions, there will undoubtedly always be something that is of convenience that you use at home, but not necessarily an item that is provided within a holiday rental property. Therefore, I thank you for allowing me to add to the inventory and these items remain in the property for future guests should they too find them of use. Should you and your friends be looking to ramble again in Wiltshire, then I look forward to welcoming your return. Martin Property Owner

  Everything brilliant. Only slight negative were the number of flies !

  Thank you for the review and glad we were able to host a double celebration on the farm. No doubt memories were made. For those venturing to the countryside for a farm stay, particularly in summer then flies are a way of life. That said, there are fly nets on external doors and an air ventilation system to move fresh air around the house without the need to open windows. We look forward to welcoming you back for the next round of celebrations. Martin. Property Owner

  The house was beautifully decorated and furnished and was spotlessly clean. The hot tub and pool table are great additions. All in all we couldn’t fault it. There was acres of room for a family of 7 both inside and outside. It is great for a family with young children as there is a substantial enclosed garden, that they managed to use most days, despite the weather. All in all we had a wonderful stay. Also a big thank you to the owner who was there to answer all our queries, and not forgetting the wonderful eggs supplied on our first day. Definitely gets 5 stars from us.

  Hello May. Thank you for the glowing review. So glad the property worked well for you and your family. Oodles for space for everyone. Hope to see you again. Martin Property Owner

  There was ten of us, all adults, and we all had a lot of space. Each of the five bedrooms were excellent. Property was very clean throughout. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it did look very inviting. Owners very kindly left a huge tray of very tasty eggs from the farm, which we enjoyed! We had two people with mobility impairments, who both slept on the ground floor bedrooms. They found it easy to navigate the cottage.

  Hi Amit. Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed the weekend with us and found that the property provided you with plenty of space still even with 10 adults.

  Great host who kindly said we could arrive a little earlier which was an extra bonus. Also lovely showers with plenty of hot water and ample parking. In fact I don’t think he did himself proud in the description of the inside of the property as it was quite exceptional. However, there were a few items that were missing which I thought to privately message him about and a couple of suggestions to make which would hopefully, enhance the property.

  Both the property and surroundings are beautiful. It was an ideal place to spend a relaxing weekend with friends. We loved the hot tub (thank you to lovey host, Martin, for helping us to get the fire going on the first night) and we really enjoyed a walk around the farm and bluebell woods. The property itself is stunning! Beautifully appointed bedrooms, huge kitchen and living room and the wonderful suntrap terrace. We loved everything about The Anchorage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

  Hi Laura. Thanks for taking the time out to review your stay with us. I must say I am an expert in fire lighting now which is handy. Any time someone is struggling with getting a good fire going then I am the man to call!! Glad you also wandered the farm and took in the sights, sounds (and yes) smells of the farm.

  Eight of us stayed here and it felt really spacious. The quality of the house and the furnishings was fantastic. There has been so much thought gone into everything. The kitchen and lounge areas are particularly stunning. Everything was immaculate and the beds were so comfortable. We didn’t use it but there was a separate room with a TV and Games-station console which children would love. We did use the pool table. The property was on an organic chicken farm and the fresh eggs that were left for us were delicious. The hot tub which was heated by a wood burning stove was lovely and didn’t have any chemicals which was an added bonus. We will be back , it is the best property we have stayed in. Malmesbury and the Abbey was an enjoyable visit and there is a short train ride nearby if you want to visit Bath. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
