"We really enjoyed our stay at Shutts House apartment."
We had a lovely warm welcome from Nigel (and Ruby) and enjoyed a cup of tea sitting in the garden on our arrival. The apartment was clean, warm, comfortable, quiet and very well equipped. It was well positioned for visiting Salisbury, Winchester, Stonehenge, Devizes and many other places. We hope to return to Shutts House to continue our exploration of the area - we would not think of staying anywhere else!
Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and and also that you managed to visit so many local attractions. We look forward to welcoming you again! Best wishes Manor Cottages

"The house has a nice view and is located in a quiet area."
It has the potential of being a great house. BUT it's not well kept: mold everywhere (even on the curtains), dust webs, dirty carpet. We have disinfected the kitchen and the tools before using it (dirty pans, dirty oven, dirty microwave). It needs some serious cleaning and updating urgently. The sheets in our bedroom had already been used (hairs, used handkerchief?), which we find unacceptable in a house of this price range.

Lovely and relaxing garden setting. Good location for visiting Salisbury and many places in the wider hinterland. Close to the New Forest. Well appointed and very comfortable. Excellent welcome pack- best we have had in any property stay. The owner is a very helpful host. We always enjoyed having a chat with him. We were sorry to leave after 2 weeks!

What a wonderfully clean property. It is a beautiful gem in the Wiltshire countryside. Nigel thank you for such a wonderful welcome pack. I even had to go to the local store to order Mr Bumble museli to take home! The local pub the Fox and Goose were very welcoming to us and our Boxer Beau.

"Shutts House ground floor apartment is ideal for everyone, but particularly for people with limited ability."
We didn't use the garden as it was so cold, but we could imagine how nice an alfresco meal would be in the summer. With the owner living above this didn't cause any disturbances. Coombe Bissett is an ideal location for some great days out, for example, Salisbury, Winchester, Shaftesbury and the Military Badges on the hills around Fovant. The local pubs were very friendly and served good food. Our favourite was the Yew Tree at Odstock. Walks in the countryside were not undertaken due to the torrential rain the previous week causing the entrance to the village being flood. However, the Nature reserve was a lovely walk just above the house and will be wonderful in the spring and summer.

"We stayed at the Shutts house for 21 days and we were very happy to discover that the property is exactly as it's listed with even more information provided by the owner once you arrive."
We were with a dog so the garden was such a huge plus (we just wish the garden was fully surrounded by fence where the parking is). The location of the house was just foot steps away from the beautiful fields of Coombe Bissett which was amazing for walks! The welcome basket was SO spoiling with lots of yummy local goods- Thank you! Nigel was extremely helpful, friendly and hands on anything we asked for (even finding out about local bus routes as we're not from the area). To our surprise on arrival we had a Christmas Tree decorated in the living room and the apartment was festively decorated which was a fun bonus! Over all we're very happy we got a long vacation out in the country in a place we loved to come to back to every day :)
Thank you for your comprehensive feedback. We are pleased that you and your dog loved your stay. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future.

"A very comfortable place to stay within easy walking distance of the local pub, even on a dark November night."
We were welcomed by an amazing welcome pack, the most generous any of us had ever seen in many years of renting accommodation for holidays through Sykes. The local pub is excellent, very friendly with a good selection of beers and food. The owner was very helpful sending us comprehensive information about the property, access and welcome pack & keen to help us and make us feel at home. And some final essential comments: the showers were excellent with plenty of hot water, the beds were comfortable and the seating area excellent. A good place to stay with beautiful countryside on Cranborne Chase for walking and easy access to Salisbury (park and ride nearby) and Stonehenge. Altogether an excellent place to stay.
Thank you so much for this lovely review which is much appreciated. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay (and the welcome pack!), together with the convenient location in beautiful countryside. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages

"I couldn't be happier with this lovely holiday apartment with a most gracious and kind owner on hand!"
It is located in a lovely village with a most marvellous shop/post office for all your needs. It is close to Salisbury which is a very nice city and the famous Salisbury Cathedral where one can view an original Magna Carta penned in 1215. The English, Wiltshire countryside is beautiful. I very much enjoyed the facilities offered but couldn't make good use of the outdoor terrace with lovely underlit table as the weather was mostly dull and inclement but not an impossible situation. Altogether I can highly recommend this holiday rental.
Thank you for your very kind comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope we can welcome you back again during better weather, so you can enjoy using the outdoor terrace.

"The weather let us down but the cottage didn't."
The cottage was bright, clean, modern and very stylish. The welcome pack was abundant. Thank you. The showers were both hot and powerful. Lots of kitchen utensils and equipment. The beds were comfortable and there was also a choice of pillow softness or firmness. We couldn't use the garden furniture (due to the constant rain) but it was clean and looked nice. Our children still liked to run around the garden, when the sun decided to behave. TVs in each room was a bonus, as well as the tumble dryer. NB. If you have a dumb moment like we did, to get hot water running from the tap in the bath, push the tap all the way down!!! A nice stay in a stylish and modern house.

It was very private with a lovely garden (must be great to sit and eat outside in the summer). I loved that it was all on one level, so perfect for our family (ages 15 - 87). Nigel’s welcome pack was generous and much appreciated. Once we’d followed the instructions for the heating we were able to get the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms/en-suites warm, like the rest of the apartment. Coombe Bissett is a super village (fabulous shop and handy pub), with Salisbury on the doorstep. We also visited Stonehenge and had a day out to the New Forest, both easy distance.

It’s even nicer in reality than it looks in the photos; so spacious and luxurious, offering every facility we could have wished for during our stay. The beds were fantastically comfortable and everywhere was immaculately clean. Nigel was the perfect host. He emailed us a week before our stay with ample helpful information including directions, general information about the property itself, plus various useful tips on local places to eat and visit. He also provided us with a lovely welcome pack of goodies. As mentioned in the listing, Nigel lives upstairs in the property with a separate access, but we never once felt observed at any time during our stay. He manages to strike the perfect balance of being welcoming (he popped round to say hello upon arrival and check we were ok) whilst also being extremely discrete and allowing us total privacy. We found Coombe Bissett to be a small but picturesque village with lovely dog walks over Coombe Bissett Down right on the doorstep. I can’t recommend this property highly enough.
