Church Cottage Colerne

Church Cottage is a pretty 18th century stone cottage in the village of Colerne, a conservation area 7 miles east of the Georgian City of Bath. It is set in an idyllic location overlooking the beautiful countryside of the Bybrook Valley and adjacent to St John the Baptist Church.

This quiet cosy cottage is self-catering and self-contained with two double bedrooms and one single bedroom. All bedrooms have views - a birds eye view of the adjacent grade one listed church or picturesque views across the valley and as far away as Salisbury Plain.

The beautiful south facing garden has been designed by a horticulturist. An abundance of new blooms appear from the early spring tulips and bluebells through to the giant micklemas daisies in August and the passionflower in the autumn. There is a large stone paved patio with wooden table, bench and chairs. The garden is surrounded by Cotswold stone walls with breathtaking views across the valley. There are two mature wisterias that bloom in May/June.
