Quince Tree Cottage is an 18th Century cottage, situated in The Chalke Valley which runs SW from Salisbury towards Shaftesbury. Set in the middle of beautiful rolling chalk hills with wonderful walks from the door, it is one of a pair of original estate worker’s cottages situated on a side lane in the village of Alvediston. The village is almost all pastural fields, divided by a winterbourne stream and lightly wooded, with many tracks leading to the two drovers roads on the chalk ridgeways to the north and the south.

Alvediston is a small village of about 80 residents with a pub and a pretty church.  The nearby village of Tisbury with many good shops and a railway station (London Waterloo - 1 hour 45 minutes) is 4 miles away and the well known hilltop town of Shaftesbury is 8 miles away. We are very well situated for visits to the historic city of Salisbury, ancient town of Wilton and the world heritage sites of Stonehenge and the city of Bath with its Roman baths and spa. The coast of Dorset is about an hours drive.
