| Situated along a country lane, on the edge of the village of
Shrewton, Drovers' Barn looks out onto an idyllic 2 acre garden by
the River Till, which is shared only with the owners, whose thatched
cottage is some 20 yards away.
The location offers visitors a very central touring base, with
easy access to the A303 (1 1/2 miles away), making London 1 1/2 - 2
hours' drive. Wiltshire's most famous pre-historic sites, Stonehenge
and Avebury, the cathedral city of Salisbury and the World Heritage
city of Bath are all within easy driving distance.
Between Shrewton and Salisbury to the south, a string of pretty
villages nestle in the picturesque Wylye and Woodford valleys. There
are many attractive cottages of stone, flint and chalk, traditional
country pubs and good walking in the water meadows and on the chalk
downland ridges above. There is an excellent golf course at High
Post, near Amesbury and, next to Drovers' Barn, a hard tennis court,
which visitors can hire. The village of Shrewton has local shops and
several pubs.
Comments from a visitor to Drovers' Barn. "Just a quick
note to say we hugely enjoyed our visit to Drover's Barn last
weekend. It's a lovely cottage in a very pretty garden situation,
and the hosts couldn't have been more welcoming. The family loved it
and we hope to return. Thanks for the last minute booking."
