Pear Tree Cabin

Melksham sits on Wiltshire's eastern edge, within reach of the Kennet and Avon Canal and a short drive from Devizes, Bath and Salisbury. Pear Tree Cabin is a single-storey lodge on the owners' grounds, offering its own enclosed patio and private parking for one car.

Inside, the open-plan living space combines a sitting area with a dining zone and kitchen fitted for proper cooking: electric oven and hob, combi microwave, slow cooker and breakfast bar. A double bedroom and shower room complete the ground floor. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; pets stay free and the garden is secure for them. Non-smokers only.

The Three Magpies pub and restaurant are 20 yards away, and a shop just a mile off. The towpath along the canal makes for straightforward walking and cycling, while Devizes' market-town character, Stonehenge, Lacock and Castle Combe are all easily reached as day trips.
