Tucked away in the heart of the Longleat Estate, Carpenter’s Cottage is a beautifully restored 18th-century hideaway that seamlessly blends the warmth of period character with the ease of modern comfort. Once home to the estate’s skilled carpenters, the cottage retains much of its original charm, with soft natural tones, exposed textures, and a sense of history in every beam and brick. It offers an intimate and inviting retreat, perfect for those seeking peace and a touch of enchantment within Longleat’s historic landscape.
Inside, the atmosphere is one of relaxed country elegance. The cosy sitting room, dressed in heritage décor and bathed in soft light, is anchored by a traditional wood-burning stove—the ideal spot to curl up with a book or a glass of wine after a day exploring the estate. The country-style kitchen combines rustic charm with practical design, featuring modern appliances, a sociable island, and a welcoming dining table for four. Whether you’re preparing a leisurely breakfast before a morning walk or cooking up a hearty evening meal, the space is perfectly suited to both everyday comfort and special moments shared with loved ones.
Upstairs, two thoughtfully appointed bedrooms continue the home’s gentle charm. The master bedroom features a sumptuous 5′ king-size bed, while the second bedroom offers twin 3′ single beds, making the cottage ideal for couples, friends, or small families. Both rooms enjoy lovely views across the surrounding woodland and estate gardens, inviting you to wake to birdsong and soft morning light. The modern family bathroom is elegantly designed, complete with a freestanding bath and an overhead shower, providing a luxurious space to unwind and rejuvenate.
Outside, Carpenter’s Cottage opens onto a private garden bordered by trees, where dappled sunlight and birdsong create an atmosphere of calm. It’s a perfect setting for a quiet morning coffee, a leisurely afternoon reading in the shade, or evening drinks as the sun sets over the arboretum. With direct access to Longleat’s historic Pleasure Walk and only a short stroll from the grand Main Square, the cottage offers the rare privilege of being both secluded and perfectly connected. From here, the wonders of Longleat unfold at your doorstep—wander through the world-famous Safari Park, explore the stately house and gardens, or enjoy seasonal events and woodland walks just moments away.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or simply a storybook weekend in the woods, Carpenter’s Cottage offers a stay rich in history, warmth, and tranquility—with the unmistakable magic of Longleat all around you.
