“We had such a lovely, restful stay.  It was a real pleasure to see (and feel) your passion for craft.  It comes through in every detail.  Beautiful! Thank you.”

“Lovely to stay again.  The Craftsman’s Cottage is truly embracing and very spoiling.”

“From the water glass on our bedside table to the ginger cookies on the Christmas tree, nothing was left to chance.  Truly a home away from home.  Thank you for making this an unforgettable Christmas and presenting us with all the comfort one could wish for.”

“After a sleep under a Siberian goose down duvet, a Lefroy Brooks shower with Bramleys bath products, I am tucking in to our hamper (comes with the cottage rental) of home made bread and jam, local eggs and trying to choose from the wide selection of teas and ways of making coffee. Best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in – all dedicated to British craftsmanship. Near Babington House, Longleat, Stourhead, Wilton. Or just an escape from it all.”

“What a brilliant idea and gorgeously comfortable cottage. From the homemade touches to the exquisite furnishings, this is the kind of laid back luxury it’s impossible not to love! The surrounding area is perfect mini break territory, too: Semley’s dairy and local shop, gentle autumnal walks, a lovely dinner at the Beckford Arms and brilliant day trips to Bruton, Longleat and Messums … We recommend the fish pie from Tisbury fishmongers too! Such a special place, thank you xx – PS The gingerbread arts and craft biscuits are so special. Betsy spotted the blue flowers on the wallpaper in our blue room. I hadn’t noticed the connection!”

“Perfect weekend in a perfect cottage.  Beautifully furnished and appointed with everything you could need.  We could have stayed forever.”
