Take in the country air, relax by the pool and unwind in this characterful former Dovecote surrounded by the lush fields and woodland of pretty Wiltshire. This two-storey property has been transformed into a beautiful one-bedroom bolthole which, while offering all the modern conveniences essential for a relaxing break, retains much of its original features, offering guests a truly unique experience.
The stonework has been left exposed with the nesting holes on show along with the original timber beams which criss-cross the vaulted ceiling. A floor has been added to create a downstairs dining and kitchen area with everything guests could possible need for creating romantic suppers for two. Guests can stock up on local produce in nearby Salisbury where guests will find plenty of culinary inspiration before cooking up a storm in the kitchen, which also has a large fridge freezer, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine.
The kitchen and dining area is spacious with a glass topped circular dining table and luxurious velvet dining chairs. Pretty prints hang on the walls and there are plenty of lamps to create mood lighting - lovely for relaxation. There is also a bathroom on this level with a large walk-in shower, perfect for a hot steamy blast to start the day.
A wooden staircase takes visitors to the top floor where they discover the bedroom and lounge area.
Crisp white linens, cosy throws and an abundance of pillows and cushions make the super king-sized bed extremely inviting. The upholstered headboard and bedside lighting ensure visitors enjoy a restful night's sleep, nodding off to the hoot of an owl in a faraway tree. The bedroom area has a French-style wardrobe and chest of drawers offering plenty of space to keep belongings tucked safely out of sight.
A large velvet corner sofa sits at the end of the bed, offering guests a place to chill out. Cuddle up with a drink and a good book or catch up on boxsets and must-sees on the 50 inch television. There's also a large, freestanding bath tub, offering you the chance to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing soak at the end of the day.
On sunny days, head outside and take advantage of the lovely outdoor areas. Sip coffee and nibble pastries on the stone patio which has lovely views over the meadows. Alternatively, make the most of the luxurious outdoor sofas and heated swimming pool. It will be a struggle to move but there are many interesting places to discover nearby including the mysterious Stone Henge, Salisbury Cathedral and Messums Gallery. When it's time for something to eat there are lots of cosy traditional pubs to try including The Wyndham Arms and The Black Dog at Chilmark.

Leave a reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at the Dovecote. Karen was a great host and her three dogs were a delight. Having access to the swimming pool was a real bonus. Grovely Wood is very close and well worth visiting for the stunning avenue of beech trees. Highly recommended and deserving of 5 stars.
