Is The Pottery Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The Pottery offers outdoor space in the surrounding Wiltshire countryside for children to explore. The village location means quiet lanes for walking and cycling. Nearby Bowood House has adventure playgrounds and woodland walks. Avebury Stone Circle fascinates older children interested in history. The open plan living space allows families to stay together. The barn suits families with older children who appreciate countryside settings rather than dedicated play facilities.
Groups Will Love...
The vaulted ceilings at The Pottery showcase the barn's original timber framework and create a cathedral-like sense of space throughout the living areas. Exposed oak beams span the width of the building, drawing your eye upward and flooding the interior with natural light. The height emphasises the agricultural heritage whilst the open plan layout preserves the barn's working character. Stone walls meet timber at ceiling height, demonstrating traditional building methods and creating an authentic conversion that respects the structure's past.
Pet Friendly
The Pottery does not accept pets, so you'll need to arrange care for your dog elsewhere during your Wiltshire stay. Whilst the surrounding countryside and village footpaths would suit dogs perfectly, the owners maintain a no-pets policy to preserve interior standards and accommodate guests with allergies. The Vale of Pewsey and Salisbury Plain offer excellent walking territory, but you'll need to visit without your four-legged companion on this occasion.
