About
Wild View is a modern holiday lodge in three acres of wild meadow in a small wooded valley on the edge of Minchinhampton. It sits at the end of a 150-metre private drive, about 600 metres down a no-through lane from the town, so the owners say there is no traffic noise, only birds, the stream in the grounds and the odd helicopter.
It sleeps four. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and an en suite shower; the second has a super-king zip-and-link bed that can be two singles, next to a bathroom with a bath and shower. The open-plan living room has the kitchen, two sofas and a smart TV, and there is fibre broadband. A travel cot and a highchair are available on request. Outside are a large patio with loungers, a smaller breakfast patio, an outdoor bath looking down the valley, an outdoor shower and a fire pit.
Dogs and cats are welcome. Three footpaths leave the grounds, and the Market House and the common are a short walk up the lane. It is booked direct by email or phone, or through its listing on Holidaycottages.co.uk. Its Expedia listing gives check-in from 4pm and check-out by 10am, and its Canine Cottages listing takes one dog, with Friday changeovers. Wild View is listed among the places to stay at Burnt Ash Farm, the family-run stables nearby, which can put up a horse.
