October Cottage is a pretty thatched property, the sitting room is cosy and comfortable, kitchen well equipped, large bathroom, we slept well on the comfortable beds. The negative points are the mixer shower on the bath has no screen or curtain, and the stairs are narrow with a sharp twist, there is a handrail to grip but it is a bit loose. The surrounding countryside is delightful, there is a large Tesco store in Tidworth a short drive away, but if eating out, the food and welcome at The Barleycorn in Collingbourne Kingston, 8 minute walk from the cottage, are highly recommended.October Cottage met all our needs.
