REVIEW: EDINGTON HILLSIDE COTTAGE IN WILTSHIRE

The Hillside Cottage, owned by the Three Daggers, is located deep in the very heart of the Wiltshire countryside and offers guests a unique and luxurious experience perfect for a weekend getaway with the people who mean the most to you in your life. The cottage is nestled in the quaint village of Edington, which has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that allows visitors to unwind from the stresses of their daily working lives. This cottage has everything you could ever need to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

Cottage Offerings

The Hillside Cottage is huge and has six en-suite bedrooms, all equipped with fantastic steam showers, to help you feel refreshed in the morning. The cottage’s traditional interior and the fireplace in the living room create a cosy, warm environment when the sun goes down and forces you to feel welcome as soon as you step through the door. A large dining table and eat-in kitchen make the cottage perfect for larger groups, like corporate teams, allowing plenty of space to enjoy each other’s company during breakfast and dinner. If you feel like cooking while staying in the cottage, you can visit the local farm shop in Edington, gather some locally sourced ingredients, and show off your cooking skills to the family or friends you are visiting with. On the other hand, if you don’t want to pick up anything in the kitchen during your stay, you could hire a private chef who will come to the cottage and cook delicious food for everyone while you relax and enjoy putting your feet up.

Facilities Included with the Hillside Cottage

The cottage comes with its very own Trailhead Cabin, which can be found by following a short path from the building. Here, you can enjoy various fun activities, as the cabin features a dartboard, wood-burning stove, and an outdoor fire pit looking out onto the picturesque countryside and surrounding grounds. At night, you can light the fire pit and take in the fresh air of Wiltshire, relaxing with friends or family. Why not get some marshmallows to toast on the flames and share fun stories whilst planning your next adventure for the following day? The Trailhead Cabin has always been one of the highlights the guests rave about during their stay at the Hillside Cottage. After a long day relaxing on the beautiful grounds of this cottage and exploring the nearby village, you can head over to the barn house, which is just a short distance from the cottage. Here, you can enjoy a hot tub, an outdoor plunge pool, and a wet and dry sauna. If this sounds right up your alley, you may want to book some spa treatments — all you have to do is make a request, and it will be organised for you. There’s nothing better than getting into a warm hot tub as the temperature drops outside, enjoying a cool glass of fizz surrounded by great company.

Outdoor Spaces

One of the best things about Hillside is that the cottage has a fantastic outdoor space, perfect for enjoying some outdoor time. The garden is ideal for lighting a BBQ and playing rounders or cricket on the lawn. What better way to spend your time off than enjoying some great food and playing garden sports with your friends or family? There are even croquet and bocce courts close to the cottage, which you are more than welcome to use — why not see if you have a hidden sporting talent you had no idea about? You can even set up a tournament and make teams to find out who has the best athletic ability in your group. This can provide hours of entertainment for everyone.

The Award-Winning Three Daggers Pub

If after a long day playing games in the garden, you can head over to the Three Daggers Pub for dinner, it’s just over the road. This pub has won several awards, including English Pub of the Year for 2019–2020. The Brewery — owned by the Three Daggers — has won the bronze and silver SIBA accolades for some of their ales, stouts, and porters brewed locally. The restaurant inside the Three Daggers Pub offers guests a fantastic range of high-quality dishes made with ingredients sourced locally. The menu changes throughout the year, in step with what is in season. This pub takes pride in providing guests with fantastic cuisine, consisting of ingredients that have come straight from the local farm to your plate. The freshness and taste of the dishes on the menu are undoubtedly worth trying during your stay at the Hillside.
