Big Box - Self-catering cottage in Wiltshire
Brandiers,
The Crossing,, Minety, SN16 9PZ, Wiltshire
England,
Reino Unido
Peter's 35 acres of land are full of quirky, rustic charm from the untamed wildflower meadows to the rough and ready tennis court next door to Big Box, which all guests are welcome to use. You’ll also find a clutch of farm buildings and barns, which include Peter's studio (which he still uses now), their red brick farmhouse and two other places to stay nearby, so it's likely you'll see and hear other people wandering about during your stay, and you may even have a visit from one of the resident dogs.
It's a very relaxed and fuss-free place. You have your own little garden area next to the main lane, where you'll also hear passing trains - sometimes powered by steam. Out here there's a barbecue and firepit for al fresco suppers on summer evenings. Cotswold Water Park is just up the road for sailing, swimming or canoeing.
Inside find polished concrete floors, Indian murals and natural wood - a blend of the owners' unique style.
