A rural retreat in Wiltshire
This secluded cottage in the Vale of the White Horse, near Pewsey in Wiltshire is hidden away in the garden of a converted church. With a private garden backing onto a bluebell wood, it’s a charming bolthole for one or two people.

Ian7 April 2024Fenella’s cottage is a great couples’ hideaway, we loved that it was sooo peaceful and private with such a variety of wildlife on and around the spacious property.Spotlessly clean and very well equipped, I can’t think of anything needed that wasn’t provided. We were exploring the Neolithic sites and the cottage made an ideal base….we’d love to come back in the summer.Bruce16 March 2024What a wonderful place this is and what a lovely host Fenella is. From the moment we booked she could have been more helpful. The place itself is in beautiful quiet surroundings and is the perfect place to unwind. The facilities are new and all the instructions are provided along with a lovely welcome “pack”. Thank you so much. There is so much to do and see in the area that we will certainly be back. Thank you againCarol25 February 2024This was an amazing and magical place to stay. The pictures were accurate, Fenella was a lovely host and the cottage was exceptional. We celebrated our wedding anniversary here which was private, secluded and extremely peaceful. The kitchen was well equipped with the added touch of a Nespresso machine and milk frother! The location was great for us to explore Bath and the local pub Seven Stars, which the food and service was exceptional. For a private peaceful getaway, Fenella's home ticks all the boxes and we shall definitely be visiting again, the energy in the cottage was just sublime and I have taken away some wonderful memories especially of the gardens and surrounding woodlands. Thank you Fenella for sharing your beautiful, peaceful, tranquil home. Much Blessings!Stephen17 December 2023An outstanding property! Immaculately clean, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, luxurious bathroom and a large comfy sofa. The view from the lounge of the woodland beyond the garden was delightful giving an air of calm and tranquility. We received a very warm welcome from Fenella and felt assured of her assistance should it be needed. It wasn't, as everything had been carefully considered and already in place. We visited many places of interest (Marlborough, Avebury, Winchester) and enjoyed an afternoon driving through the New Forest. This cottage has to be one of the best places we have stayed in!Hamira4 December 2023The cottage was probably the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in - spotless! It was also very spacious, the kitchen has everything you will need and a personal highlight for me was the shower, which was hot (bonus!). The bed was comfy; we had a great sleep as it was so quiet and peaceful. A beautiful cottage, left feeling very rested. Went to the local pub for Sunday lunch (The Seven Stars) - highly recommend it. Fenella was a great host, thank you.John17 November 2023Lovely accommodation, exactly as described. And I really enjoyed my stay here.Jamie25 October 2023I was looking for a secluded and peaceful place to stay for much needed rest and relaxation . Fenellas AirBnB was absolutely perfect for my needs . I stayed for 7 days and really liked my stay . Fenella was a respectful and courteous host . Their were nice walks too from the property in the surrounding countryside. I would definitely recommend a stay here . Thankyou FenellaJulie16 August 2023Would highly recommend booking this accommodation - it is definitely worth 5 stars with plenty to do in the surrounding area, including some lovely walks. Fenella has thought of everything and we much appreciated the ‘added extras’ on arrival. We plan to return soon - a hidden gem!Madeleine17 July 2023Rarely been to such a peaceful and secluded place where so much thought has been given to the way it is appointed and where there has been so much attention to detail. If you're looking for a quiet get-away where the only sound is the wind (or rain!) in the trees and birdsong then look no further. We were particularly impressed with the quality and range of crockery, cutlery, utensils, glasses etc and liked the way the bathroom was fitted. Sadly, due to poor weather when we were there we weren't able to use the garden but it would have been beautiful to relax in if it had been drier and warmer. Lovely to have no passing traffic. Fenella was a very attentive and welcoming host, without being in any way intrusive, and the milk, flapjack, wine and flowers waiting for us were much appreciated. Definitely hope to return!Lourens17 May 2023Eigenlijk willen we deze locatie NIET aanbevelen, om de kans het grootst te laten zijn om er met liefde terug te keren op onze volgende reis naar Zuid-Engeland. Als je van rust houdt, is dit een fantastische plek, voor twee personen. En de ontvangst is heel gastvrij. Fenella en Duncan zijn op de achtergrond beschikbaar, maar je ziet of hoort ze eigenlijk niet als het ook niet nodig is. Als het wel nodig is, reageren zij heel alert.Voor ons de beste plek tot dusver in Zuid-Engeland.
lynne a13. August, 2023.Perfect Cottage This is the best cottage we have ever stayed at. We were booked for one week but wished we had stayed longer as cottage was immaculate with everything we needed for our stay. Fenella and Duncan were very welcoming. Lots to do in surrounding area. We hope to be able to return next year.Dreamer2819498214923. July, 2023.PEACE AND QUIET IN THE COUNTRYSIDE - AND SO MUCH MORE! We had a fabulous 10 day holiday in this beautiful and spotlessly clean cottage. Our third visit (so far) and we are eagerly anticipating a return visit next year to wind down and completely relax. We returned home feeling like we'd had a holiday and that is due to the peace and quiet of the cottage and surroundings. Fenella is an excellent host; very welcoming, on hand if you need her but not intrusive at all. There are nice touches such as milk, chocolates, cake, wine and useful toiletries in the bathroom. She really has thought of everything! We loved the blackout blind in the bedroom for really good sleeps and the recently fitted freezer which came in very useful. The kitchen had everything we needed and the whole cottage is obviously well looked after and cared for. We had a rainy evening in catching up with certain acts at Glastonbury on the TV and, unlike some holiday cottages, it was a good and high quality TV set. As in the last couple of visits to All Saints we walked across the field to the local pub (Seven Stars) which has a great landlord, welcoming staff and really good home made food (yummy fish and chips). We enjoyed the walk to the local garden centre which has 2 tearooms and an interesting collectables shop. Marlborough is a must to visit! We also visited nearby Pewsey and bought some good local Lardy Cake and pasties from a traditional cake shop. It must be wonderful to cycle along the lanes from All Saints - maybe we'll think about taking our bikes next time! We loved it here once again and look forward to returning.Traveler0908303727518. April, 2023.Highly recommend, incredibly comfortable & a perfect getaway Our second visit to All Saints Cottage & we hope to return for a third! Fenella is a great host and they are located in such a pretty part of Wiltshire, with an array of country walks on your doorstep, lovely farm shop / plant nursery and trusty pub nearby, not to mention Marlborough which is only a short drive away to get your fix of a special market town. We had our newborn in tow this time and she loved the peace and tranquility of the place, as well as the nature in the garden, the birds, daffodils & blue bells just starting to come through. The cottage was well equipped with everything one would need from a home from home and we love it there!Jet1930721915926. September, 2022.Peaceful base Very comfortable, really quiet... and great base to explore Avesbury etc by bike. Just off national cycle route 4 - a really pretty ride to Devizes. And thank you Fenella for letting us store our bikes in the garage, and the use of the BBQ.Dreamer2819498214921. August, 2022.ANOTHER WONDERFUL HOLIDAY! This was our second visit to All Saints Cottage and, as last time, we had a fabulous holiday in this spotlessly clean cottage. Fenella has thought of everything to make her guests feel welcome and at home, from the wine, cake, chocolates, flowers and small containers of bathroom toiletries .... all nice touches. Everything in the cottage is top notch and shiny clean, including the large bathroom with a great shower and a nice bath to enjoy a long soak at the end of the day. The bedroom has good storage and the super-king size bed is really comfortable. The garden has very comfortable relaxing chairs and also an outdoor dining table and chairs which is good for eating outside in the "enchanted garden" overlooking the woods. I'm sure that if you chose not to venture outside the cottage you wouldn't need to see another soul for the duration of your stay! The location is very private and yet handy for local towns and sight seeing opportunities. This year we visited Marlborough a couple of times and had a day at Avebury to sit among the stones, and also to look around the Manor House which was well worth seeing. We had many local walks during our holiday, including walking across the field to the local Seven Stars pub which serves extremely good food and good beer and has a large outdoor seating area as well as it being cosy inside. The staff were very welcoming too. I could wax lyrical all day about All Saints and how good it is! Suffice to say we've booked again for next year! Yippee!Margaret G16. July, 2022.Peaceful and Secluded We have just returned from a week staying in All Saints Cottage. It was absolutely idyllic - quiet, clean, secluded and with everything you could possibly need - including a Nespresso Coffee machine, with milk, wine and delicious cake on arrival! Fenella, the owner, is absolutely lovely and so helpful. Sitting in the garden in the evening with a glass of wine and complete peace was just like heaven. Can't wait to return.Peter A9. July, 2022.Quiet and Secluded Getaway for Two at All Saints Cottage We spent a few days enjoying the peace and seclusion of All Saints Cottage and exploring the beautiful local countryside. Thank you, Fenella, for the homely touches and special treats which awaited us. The cottage, set within the garden of the Old Church, and with its own woodland garden, is of a high quality, catering for all your needs for a relaxing stay. All amenities were excellent. With lots of local circular walks and the nearest pub being only a 15 minute walk away, there is plenty to enjoy without travelling any great distance. By contrast, Devizes is worth visiting for its numerous beautiful listed buildings, The Wiltshire Museum, Caen Hill Locks and, of course, not forgetting the Wadworth Brewery Visitor Centre. We hope to return soon.Renan E19. June, 2022.Idyllic cottage Absolutely perfect cottage. Our host Fenella had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and she even provided lovely treats to spoil us more. The area is beautiful and steeped in history and so we had interesting walks. There are plenty of good pubs and restaurants which is always welcome.Waleswalker6228. October, 2021.This cottage has the WOW! factor All Saints Cottage is tucked away down a country lane. It is so peaceful, and the garden backs onto woods. We enjoyed watching the squirrels foraging for food and chasing one another round the garden. We usually book two bedroomed holiday cottages, as we like a lot of room and were a little apprehensive in case this one was too small for us. However, not only is it very spacious, the fixtures and fittings are of a high quality too. It is a real home from home. Fenella was very welcoming and had left us wine and cake! We like walking and the countryside around is very pretty. Devises, Pewsey and Marlborough are all nearby, if you want to visit one of the lovely Wiltshire towns. Can't rate this cottage high enough.Scenic6816863624420. September, 2021.A perfect getaway for two This was our second visit to All Saints Cottage. It’s location is very secluded yet close to beautiful countryside and ideal for walking on the nearby Downs or visiting the many attractions within easy striking distance. The cottage is well equipped and in a spotless condition with a private garden area perfect for al fresco dining, weather permitting. The owner Fenella is always so welcoming and we will be back again.
