The space
"A truly outstanding piece of paradise in rural Wiltshire just down the road from Stonehenge. Characterful and well heeled, extremely comfortable and well thought out for a family or group with table tennis, badminton and a pretty stream with wildlife to watch. This is a cut above most properties and a joy to discover." - William
With origins dating back to 1785, Till Cottage is a picturesque country cottage with charming riverside gardens. The magic begins with a pretty approach along a 250-meter-long meandering track enveloped by trees, setting the scene for an idyllic escape for up to 8 adults plus 3 children. ‘Till Cottage’ is an attractive 3-bed thatched cottage and ‘Little Till’ a cosy 1-bed self-contained annexe with bijou garden and terrace overlooking the river.

A Unique Setting for a Unique Experience…
Nature enthusiasts and tranquillity seekers will find their haven at Till Cottage. From the graceful flight of kingfishers and herons to the majestic presence of swans and the gentle hoot of barn owls, wildlife lovers will be in their element! The riverside gardens allow plenty of space for children to run about in; there is an outdoor tree swing and table tennis for entertainment. On a warm summer’s day, guests can enjoy watching swans swim along the river Till, rustling up a meal on the BBQ and dining outdoors whilst watching the sun go down.
When the weather outside is less than inviting, revel in the warmth and charm indoors. Cosy up by the roaring log burner, savour the rich aroma of a freshly brewed coffee from our top-notch Sage Barista coffee machine, or unwind with a TV evening in the snug. At Till Cottage, even if the weather is less than perfect, your stay promises to be a warm and delightful escape, where comfort and relaxation take centre stage.

A pet fee of £30 will be added to the price of your stay at checkout. Thank you for your co-operation! For a lovely walk we recommend continuing down the track past the cottage, past the camping site, until you reach Berwick St James (home to a really lovely farm shop!).

The ceilings in the 300-year-old cottage are low in the living room so taller individuals may need to watch their head!
There is a log burner in the living room, only for the winter months (Oct - March). During these months we provide enough wood, kindling and fire lighters for 2 nights, so please bring additional supplies if you anticipate lighting more fires during your stay.
Wellies are provided :)
The Gardener comes every Wednesday.
SAFETY
There is a wire mesh fence that restricts access to the river and does extend the full perimeter of the property. Please be aware that dogs might still be able to burrow underneath, and children must be supervised at all times to prevent them from climbing over. We do not accept any liability for incidents.
