Photos and Description of the Wiltshire vacation cottage rental Self Contained one Bedroom Annexe midway between Salisbury and Shaftesbury

The Old Woodstore is the beautifully appointed self-contained annexe of Grade 2 listed 14th Century The White Cottage. Situated in stunning countryside in a tiny peaceful hamlet, it nevertheless is fortunate to be within close walking distance of the award winning Wiltshire gastropub, The Compasses Inn whilst at the same time being close to major tourist attractions such as Stonehenge, Wilton House, Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat, Bath, Stourhead and Gold Hill, Shaftesbury. Wonderful walks from the front door can be followed by tea by the fireside and then a top class meal at the pub. The Old Woodstore has recently been totally refurbished and offers every modern convenience from WiFi to large scale LCD TV with DVD. Underfloor heating and a Woodburning Stove complete the picture. Easily reached by motorway and mainline rail, it is under 2 hours from London and offers the perfect romantic weekend getaway or a longer stay taking in the lovely sights and views of South Wiltshire.

Amazing property in a lovely setting

Davino Brighton
Review Submitted: February 2, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
Thanks so much for a lovely stay in your cottage.

The cottage has everything a couple could want, log stove plasma tv, great walks nearby. Great pub just across the road, The Compasses inn.Superb food. Also the Beckford Arms which is worth the 1 hour walk.

We will return in the summer.

Thanks Soo

The perfect retreat

Tim Rigg London
Review Submitted: December 6, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
A few thoughts and memories - Great fields, lovely walks, bright moon, amazing bed, lovely stewing apples, happy happy dog, toastie and warm wood burning stove, the finest of country pubs and pub lunches(being English and from the country myself, its not something I say lightly), welcoming and very frinedly hosts. A perfect retreat from city life, to recharge and relax. Clean and all the amenities you could want (Including a wall mounted 40+ inch wall mounted flatscreen TV!!!). We will return and have told our mates to do the same. Thank you Soo and Rob. See you again next year

Lovely, peaceful cottage in beautiful countryside

JW Away London
Review Submitted: November 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Spent 3 days with my pregnant wife to get away from it all and what a perfect place to do it in. The cottage is beautifuly decorated with lots of nice touches from the owner including breakfast stuff being left for our stay. The owner was lovely, helpful and even gave us some apples from the trees in the garden.
The pub is literallly across the road and whilst the walks in the area are lovely there are a number of towns to explore too. Both Salisbury and Shaftesbury are an easy drive away.
A perfect place to get away from it and relax, and just two hours from Richmond. SO nice to have a woodburner too!

Lovely break

C & T London
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage is very tastefully decorated. We enjoyed some peaceful walks in the surrounding countryside and lovely meals in the pub across the road. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away from it all. An easy and relatively short drive from London yet it could not feel further away!

A perfect 1st year Anniversary weekend!

Vincent L London
Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
First of all, Soo and her husband have been the sweetest of hosts, going as far as providing us with shopping I'd sent them a list of in order to prepare lovely meals for my lovely wife. She, by the way, had no idea of where I was bringing her for our 1st year Anniversary...

The cottage is like a postcard out of a great fairytale illustration: beautiful little garden, very warm and cosy living room/kitchenette, modern yet hearty bedroom/bathroom... Every new step and every minute spent there made us want to stay way longer than only a weekend.

There's a lovely unforgettable pub just 30 seconds up the road, with friendly staff, great grub and a nice selection of local beers to boot. Highly recommended!

The countryside is beautiful and you'll find plenty to see if you like to walk in enchanting surroundings.

Going back to the cottage itself, we had all our meals outside because we were blessed with awesome weather but if we just wanted to cosy up on the sofa... We had a lovely little fire going on, a great big flat screen TV and an entertaining selection of DVD movies, as well as an iPOD dock!

What else can you want for a lovely, relaxing weekend in the country?

We recommend the White Cottage with all our heart and would love to come back again!

Thank you so much!
