The Cottage - Access and Details

The Introduction
Our self catering cottage is attached to our home, where we also provide bed and breakfast accommodation. The house dates from the 17th century and is Grade II listed and whilst the cottage is a newer addition it is old with period features, that may make access difficult for people with limited mobility.

Pre-Arrival
We are located on a minor road between the villages of Dinton and Wylye. Whilst we are in a peaceful location it is not ideally situated for those travelling without transport. The nearest bus stop is approximately 1 mile in Dinton and the service stops early in the evening.
There are several taxis companies that operate from Salisbury and we are happy to provide their contact details.

We are a working farm with sheep and for the comfort and safety of all our guests, regret that we are unable to accommodate pets.
Brochures and menus can be provided in large print if required, but unfortunately we do not have facilities to provide these in Braille.

We can be contacted by telephone, fax or email (details in Contact Section).
