During the day and early evening, guests are welcome to relax in the living room if this suits. Note that this is a shared space (with me), so please keep it tidy and do not leave belongings here when not in this space.
Please note also that all other parts of the house (including kitchen) are not accessible to guests.
According to booking Airbnb policy and my house rules, only the total number of guests registered for the booking are permitted to access the property during your stay. Strictly no extra persons are allowed at the property.
During your stay
The host leaves guests to be independent and enjoy their stay, though is generally available to advise on anything guests might need.
You can be completely independent or ask the host for guidance or assistance should you need anything from extra glasses for drinks in your room (BYO - no charge) or recommendations of pubs, restaurants, and points of interest in the area.
When you check in, you'll find in the room printed guidance sheets that the host has prepared, explaining key things relevant to your stay (including wireless network password) and an overview of places to eat, drink and shop nearby (many within walking distance).
NEIGHBOURHOOD AND GETTING AROUND
The immediate neighbourhood is a quiet residential conservation-area, an easy (about 8 minute) walk from train station, town centre, and many places to shop, eat and drink.
Very well connected by train lines and by roads, from here it’s possible to explore many of the most interesting places in the Southwest including Bath (11 miles), Bradford-on-Avon (3 miles), Frome (9 miles), and Lacock Abbey (12 miles), and Longleat (22 miles).
Within easy driving distance from Trowbridge are many scenic walking trails and beautiful historic sites. These include Great Chalfield Manor, Iford Manor, Westwood Manor, The Courts Garden, and the ‘White Horse’ hill figure near Westbury on the edge of Salisbury Plain (all within 20 minute drives).
A bit further afield across Salisbury Plain are the world-famous stone circles of Avebury and Stonehenge (both about 40 minutes away by car) and the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury (about 50 minutes by car, 45 minutes by train).
