Mortimer Cottage, a charming thatched property located in the picturesque village of Wootton Rivers, near Marlborough in Wiltshire, offers a delightful retreat for families or groups of up to five guests. This 17th-century, Grade II listed cottage features three bedrooms and is ideally situated just five miles from the vibrant market town of Marlborough. With its inviting atmosphere and period charm, the cottage is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and it welcomes one small dog, making it a pet-friendly option for visitors.
The cottage boasts a well-designed ground floor that includes a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area equipped with modern appliances such as a steam oven and induction hob, along with a cozy living room featuring a wood burner for added warmth during colder months. Additionally, the ground floor houses a utility room and a convenient shower room. Access to the first floor is provided via two narrow and steep staircases, leading to a master bedroom with a kingsize bed and an en-suite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom with twin beds and a landing space suitable for a child’s z-bed.
Outside, guests can enjoy a private courtyard garden furnished with comfortable seating for relaxation, along with designated parking for two small cars or one larger vehicle. The property is equipped with modern amenities, including electric underfloor heating, Wi-Fi, and a welcome pack for guests upon arrival. However, it’s important to note that children under six years old are not permitted due to the cottage's low ceilings and steep stairs, which may pose safety concerns.
The surrounding area of Wootton Rivers is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring extensive footpaths and cycling routes, as well as proximity to the Kennet and Avon Canal. The village is home to a traditional thatched pub and is conveniently located near Avebury and Marlborough, both offering a variety of dining and shopping options. With easy access to the M4 and a regular train service from Pewsey to London Paddington, Mortimer Cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the natural beauty of Wiltshire and The Cotswolds, making it an ideal destination for a relaxing getaway.
