This is one of our dog friendly cottages in Mere. Tucked away within the garden of the owner’s Grade ll listed 16th century cottage, at the heart of the attractive large village of Mere, on the Wiltshire side of the borders with Dorset and Somerset, is this extremely spacious, self-contained, ground floor apartment. This Mere self-catering apartment has been skilfully created from the former Salisbury House School, to now provide couples with a most comfortable and well-appointed holiday base. The interior of this Mere apartment is surprisingly roomy, offering bright and cheerful accommodation, having windows on both sides of the main living areas which flood the rooms with light, and the high standard of furnishings and equipment further enhance this superb holiday home.
There are two shared outside spaces on offer at this apartment in Mere, both lovely places to relax and plan your day’s adventures, along with a private, sunny patio accessed through the French windows straight from the kitchen/dining room, and a charming walled and hedged lawned garden, complete with a patio and use of a pretty summerhouse. Being located in a quiet no through road opposite Mere’s beautiful 11th century church, there’s little traffic spoiling your gentle stroll from this Wiltshire self-catering apartment along to many local amenities, including old inns, antique shops, a convenience store and an award-winning wine merchant, where wine tastings are often available.
Further afield, but still within easy travelling distance from your Mere apartment is the National Trust’s Stourhead House with its much photographed scenic gardens, whilst Shaftesbury and Longleat House and Safari park are also a short drive away. Alternatively, head east to discover Stonehenge, Wilton House and the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury, or how about a day out to Bath, or even the Dorset coast, all easily accessible. A delightful Mere self-catering apartment offering a super and convenient touring base at any time of the year.
