Description
The Milk House is a beautifully refurbished old dairy with wonderful views over our farmland and wood. It is within a few minutes of Erlestoke woods, the Salisbury Plain & the Erlestoke 18 hole Golf Club. Stonehenge, Bath, Salisbury & Marlborough are all within 30 minutes. There is a double bedroom on the ground floor with a bathroom next door, very good for the more immobile and at the other end of the cottage is a single bedroom (where, on request, we can put a proper 8th bed up), there is a toilet and basin in the next room. Upstairs is a twin room and a double room with a family bathroom in between, which has a beautiful antique roll top bath. All the bedrooms can fit in a cot (or two) or the 8th proper bed, depending on your group, We have furnished the Milk House with antique prints, furniture and old photographs of our historic dairy. We have taken a great deal of care to make it supremely comfortable with all the modern conveniences: lighting, fibre optic WiFi, playstations and everything you could need in a modern kitchen to cook and to entertain yet with a traditional touch.
There are many different walks to do directly from the house. We are next to the Salisbury Plain, the largest area of unspoilt chalk land in Europe. Erlestoke Woods are even closer and no one can miss the carpet of bluebells every spring. We have our own huge vegetable patch, orchard with plums, pears, and apples where you can pick produce and flowers in season right by the cottage.
The house and buildings were built in the 18th century, and our wood was where the original saxon settlement here was founded, with coins still being found very recently by our neighbours. We are in idyllic surroundings with wonderful views over the edge of the Salisbury Plain. There is so much to do nearby yet it is lovely enough to just relax and do as much or as little as you want.

“Gem of a rural family cottage”
The Milk House is even better than the photos - very comfortable and extremely spacious the cottage is well equipped and tastefully decorated. Large and comfortable beds with nice linen. Peaceful rural views. We stayed over a long weekend for a wedding nearby and easily hosted a lunch for 10 the day after with a lovely afternoon relaxing in the orchard and walking nearby. The trampoline was a big hit! Excellent communication with Becca the owner who was very flexible with the timing of check in and check out which made a huge difference- much appreciated. Also with Carol who does the cleaning and made us feel very welcome. All in all a wonderful stay in a beautiful place.

“Quaint English Property”
A relaxing break spent in a beautiful quaint English property, full of character and with a stunning orchard garden. Friendly host. Pretty village, which was one of many. Very friendly locals. Good base to tour from, with Bath, Stonehenge and even the coast, not too far away. Glorious weather finished the holiday and we would definitely visit again!
