The perfect Getaway

We had a great long weekend at Heron’s Nest. Hilary welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around. The property is lovely, very clean and well maintained. It is in a quiet, rural location, but still only a few minutes drive from all the amenities in Royal Woodson Basset. It is perfect for walks and exploring Wiltshire and Somerset. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely spot for a weekend in the countryside

Myself, my wife and our 2 dogs stayed at Heron's Nest over the Easter bank holiday weekend. We were looking for somewhere we could have a relaxed long weekend of picturesque dog walks and not much else - which is exactly what we got. Heron's Nest is in a great location; a quiet spot with the rural countryside on your doorstep, but close enough to pretty market towns like Chippenham, Malmesbury, Tetbury, etc. The property itself has everything you need for a weekend/week away from home, so you can pack light. There is even a natural/wild swimming pool to awaken the senses .... even on a warm early April afternoon the water was freezing but invigorating! The communication from Hilary leading up to our stay was great and she was very welcoming and friendly on our arrival. The fridge was stocked with a bottle of wine and apple juice, which was a nice touch. All in all, Heron's Nest ticked all the boxes for what we wanted and we're planning to book again for future.

About the host

Hosted by Hillary Walter

We are a family of 5 who have have recently renovated and extended our home and cottage. We love being outside and enjoy gardening. We have a small holding consisting of a variety of chickens, pigs, sheep and two ponies!!

I enjoy making jams, chutneys, cakes etc. Nick (my husband) has just bought a Smoker for fish and meat and has been experimenting with that!

Understandably, our friends call us Tom and Barbara!!

Why they chose this property

We bought Burrington because of its location. We are situated down a very quiet lane surrounded by fields with a view of Tockenham wood, which has Tockenham Lake within it. You could hardly believe we're only 2 miles from Royal Wootton Bassett and therefore have easy access to the M4 - which makes Heron's Nest an easy to get to retreat!!

What makes this property unique

There are plenty of wonderful things to experience whilst staying at Heron's Nest. Most notably the Natural Swimming Pool! A fabulous experience which people come back for!
There are wonderful walks in and around us. Plenty of fabulous and interesting towns and cities to visit, Bath, Oxford, Marlborough, Bristol, Castle Combe and the Cotswolds are all within an hours drive

The property itself is well equipped - I have tried to create a home from home kitchen. The sitting room has all the normal appliances one would expect plus a variety of games.
