Shepherd's Cottage, rural retreat - double bedroom

The cottage is set in the midst of rural countryside, with nearest neighbours 1/4 of a mile away. Yet, it is jut 5 minutes drive from Downton, and 10 minutes to the outskirts of Salisbury and 15 minutes to the centre of Salisbury. You will often see wildlife, whilst having a cup of tea/coffee/beer or glass of wine, whilst sitting at the kitchen table. Log fire in sitting room. It has one double room and 1 room with twin beds. If you book both rooms, then your bathroom with be private. The space There is a log fire, to light whenever you wish, in the large sitting room. I light it every evening, even late in the evening in summer, for the joy of looking at it! I have a well behaved black labrador dog. And 2 chickens that roam the garden. And hopefully in early June, a gorgeous tortoiseshell kitten. The cottage is smoking friendly, although absolutely no smoking in bedrooms or bathrooms. Guest access As well as your own bedroom, and the bathroom, also the kitchen and sitting room. During your stay Mostly I am around, although do not wish to intrude on your "space". Very occasionally, I go away, and if I do not have guests, I have a cottage sitter. Were I to go away, I would check with you first, to see if you would prefer me to be here (to keep the home fire burning), or if you would enjoy the cottage to yourselves.
