This charming holiday home is perfect for nature lovers, bird watchers, artists, walkers and strollers. If peace and natural beauty appeal to you come and share our wonderful property - whatever the season. This warm and comfortable property is ideal for winter breaks. Were Down enjoys an exceptionally beautiful and peaceful location. Secluded but not remote the house is set on a hillside amongst 12 acres of mixed woodland overlooking the green pastures of a fertile valley leading to the delightful River Avon renowned for its beauty, wading birds, swans and snowy white egrets.

Were Down, a much loved family home, has been divided to provide separate, self-contained accommodation for visitors combining the benefits of privacy with someone on hand to help if necessary.
