About this property

Tucked behind a row of period houses on a quiet cul-de-sac, with the front door totally hidden, this Grade II* listed cottage has been carefully renovated using local artisans and is beautifully furnished throughout. With exposed Cotswold stone walls and beams and handmade pottery.

The cottage has a characterful, well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs is a bathroom filled with Bramley products, and a sitting room with tasteful art, an open fire, TV, books and magazines. Your restful bedroom is above, under a traditional mansard roof.

Walk into town, around the local park, along the river Avon or to the National Trust village of Lacock. Cycle to the ancient stone circle of Avebury, mainly off-road. Local pubs and plenty of restaurants are a stroll. Stonehenge is a 45-minute drive, and the largest artificial prehistoric mound in Europe at Silbury Hill, is just 20 minutes.

The cottage is old and characterful. It isn't a standard building. It is set over 3 floors and is therefore not recommended for people with mobility issues and young children.

Great location for visiting the area

Good launching point for trips to Bath or the Cotswold. Chippenham is a charming location and many amenities are close. Cottage configuration is a bit wonky, but very comfortable. A guest must be comfortable with tight steps. Lisa was very accommodating as a host.

Hidden gem

Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in this adorable cottage. Lisa was so helpful and had great recommendations for things to do and see in the surrounding area. Lacock and Castle Combe were so neat.

Beautiful cottage in a good location

Artisan Cottage is a beautifully formed cottage to the side of the owner's ( Lisa) gorgeous Georgian Home. Parking is on the driveway and the cottage is tastefully decorated with luxury touches including Neptune soft furnishings, Bramley toiletries and some wonderful hand made pottery. Lisa is friendly, welcoming and a font of knowledge about things to do locally. We visited Castle Combe village, Lacock, Stow on the Wold and the nearby farm shop. On the way home we popped into Marlborough ( well worth a visit) via Avebury and next time we'll take advantage of the fact that the cottage is close to Chippenham station from where Bath can be reached in 10 to 15 minutes. Highly recommended and we'll be back!

Village Life

We rented this property because we were looking to experience British village life. The property was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and stylish. I love the local art on the walls. Easy walk to restaurants and local pubs. Easy drive to a great many sites in the West Country and Cotswalds. We’d love to come back some day and hope we can! I would recommend this property to my family and friends.
