Great place and location, very comfortable and spacious, kids loved the freedom! Only issues, king size bed very noisy and a bit uncomfortable, not sure if it needs looking at and the shower room downstairs floods when using the shower, I know its a wet room as such but its seems like the drainage isn’t up to the job, water even goes out into the hallway! But we will be back as its such a lovely place.

St Peters is a fantastically quirky and delightful cottage.
St Peters is a fantastically quirky and delightful cottage. It retains very much of a 'church' feel, although with plenty of home comforts and a very welcoming atmosphere. There are excellent walks from the doorstep and the surrounding area is wonderfully peaceful, as well as being well located for major attractions such as Avebury (20mins) and Stonehenge (40mins). When we visited there were a few missing light bulbs and a somewhat temperamental microwave (which rather arbitrarily decided when it wanted to work or not), but otherwise the house was well equipped and particularly excellent for pet owners, with a fully secure garden. And, as a final bonus, it is next door to a small animal sanctuary, which includes some particularly entertaining donkeys amongst its residents!
