Flittermouse Cottage is a quaint early-19th-century bath-stone cottage tucked away at the end of a peaceful no-through lane in the village of Wingfield. Sleeping four guests and one infant, it’s an ideal retreat for couples, friends, or small families seeking a base from which to explore Bath, Bradford on Avon, Longleat, and the surrounding countryside. One well-behaved dog is welcome (please ask before bringing two). Built by the Love family for their estate workers, Flittermouse Cottage forms part of a charming Grade II listed row of five unique cottages. Inside, the cottage is full of character and thoughtful details, offering two comfortable bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and the other with a king that can be converted into twins. The inviting lounge features a log burner, with logs and kindling provided for your first fire, alongside a Smart TV, DVD player, dining table, and board games. A travel cot and highchair are available on request. The modern kitchen is well equipped for relaxed stays, with a dishwasher, washing machine, induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge, coffee bean grinder, and toaster. Downstairs, the bathroom includes a generous shower and a small bathtub, with Bramley toiletries supplied. As you’d expect in a cottage of this age, the stairs are steep and one doorway has a low clearance, adding to its historic charm. Outside, the cottage has pretty front and rear cottage gardens, furnished with seating, a dining table, and a charcoal barbecue. While there’s no lawn, a lovely walking path is just a minute away, perfect for dogs and morning or evening strolls. There is parking available for 2 vehicles. Wingfield is a peaceful village surrounded by beautiful Wiltshire countryside, with the popular, dog-friendly pub The Poplars within easy walking distance. The historic town of Bradford on Avon is just a short drive away, offering excellent shops, cafés, and riverside walks.
