Fitz Farm Cottage

Type: Self-Catering

This is a delightful cottage well maintained by its owners, offering very comfortable and well equipped accommodation.
Originally a Victorian herdsman’s cottage with a more recent extension, it is situated next to a larger 17th century house, with access from its garden onto a field and from there onto footpaths which pass through woodland. The village of Dinton is situated in the Nadder Valley some 8 miles to the west of the cathedral city of Salisbury. As well as having a local shop, pub, church and excellent plant nursery, it also boasts two National Trust properties, Little Clarendon, a Tudor house and Philipps House (c 1820), together with Dinton Park, which offers many attractive walks.

Within easy driving distance are Wilton House, (palladian style mansion) prehistoric Stonehenge, Longleat and Stourhead (18th century, English landscape style gardens) to name but a few of the many visitor attractions in the area. For children, Farmer Giles Farmstead 1 1/2 miles away, provides excellent entertainment for children with its large variety of animals. This is also a lovely area for walking and for enjoying South West Wiltshire’s much admired country villages where good pubs are still plentiful. Dinton is also accessible to London, a 2 hour car journey via the M3 and A303, to Bath, approx. 50 minutes’ drive and to the South Dorset coast, also reachable in under an hour.
