Holiday Cottages in Wiltshire
Neolithic stone circles, white horses and sweeping downs
Chalk downs roll out for miles beneath enormous skies, ancient stones stand where they've stood for thousands of years, and villages built from honeyed limestone seem to have been left entirely undisturbed by time. Our holiday cottages in Wiltshire put you right in the middle of this landscape, a county that trades the crowds of its more famous neighbours for something quieter and, in its own way, far older.
Castle Combe may be regarded as one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, but Wiltshire is home to some equally enchanting places. So, if you are looking for that picture-perfect English village, without the crowds then pay a visit to Biddestone, Grittleton or Slaughterford, which despite its rather bloodthirsty name is a gloriously tranquil spot.

In the north of the county lies the town of Malmesbury. This is England’s oldest borough and is filled with history. 17th-century shops and medieval streets sit under the gaze of the 12th-century abbey. Likewise, this thriving market town often hosts music and food festivals.
Wiltshire is known for its rolling hills, much of which forms part of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is plenty to explore, from the incredible Salisbury Cathedral, with the tallest spire in England, to the glorious Roman city of Bath, famed for its mineral springs. The county is also rich in prehistoric sites. Stonehenge needs no introduction, but don’t miss Avebury, home to the largest prehistoric stone circle in the world and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Animal lovers can spend time at Longleat, the first safari park to open outside Africa in 1966. Home to more than 120 species, it also plays an important role in wildlife conservation. Guided tours of Longleat House are available alongside the safari park.
