No-Smoking rule is waived however in the garden !
The Wilderness-A luxury
non-smoking holiday cottage Smoking is at last on the way out! We
decided long ago to take the plunge and go completely smoke-free, and in three
years of operating I don't think we've had a single occasion when the rule has
been broken so the whole house always smells fresh. There is ample space in the
garden however if you have a guest who hasn't seen the light!
History of The
Wilderness; Set in 2/3 acre of private gardens "The Wilderness" dates
from 1640 and was originally a pair of farm cottages believed to belong to the
estate of Heywood House nearby. The house features original oak beams and is
bursting with character. The ceilings are low in many places and some of the
bedrooms are quite small but this all just adds to the charm ! The original
buildings were sympathetically extended in the nineties to provide a very large
master bedroom with a super Kitchen/diner below. Seasoned oak beams were used
to match the style of the existing property. The self-contained annexe
cottage was added in 2000. There is double link door between the two
kitchens. There is ample private parking at the front of the
house.
Heywood is ideally situated
for visiting The Roman City of Bath, the ancient Saxon Town of
Bradford-on-Avon, and all the historic attractions of South West England! We
are just 40 mins from Stonehenge and Salisbury and 30 mins from Bath by road.
Westbury Railway Station is 1 mile away with regular direct trains to Bath (20
mins) & London (90 mins). The local Pub with it's
fine real ales and superb food is just a short walk across the fields. There
are many excellent golf courses in the area and daily or weekly golf tours can
be arranged.
The Wilderness is "Child Friendly" and entirely
non-smoking.
