The property is part of a complex featuring five cottages that share a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, providing a tranquil atmosphere for relaxation and privacy. The original farmyard and barn have been restored, and guests can often enjoy interactions with farm animals.

Accessibility is a key feature of Lynchets, with a large en-suite wet room equipped with adjustable shower facilities, wash basin, and WC with support rails. Outside, guests can enjoy a small terrace with garden furniture overlooking the courtyard garden, perfect for outdoor relaxation. Lynchets is part of Wraxall Yard, which includes additional cottages—Kittwhistle, Ladymeade, Clementine, and Lookout—that can be booked together for larger groups. A communal room and kitchen are available for gatherings, although the site maintains a peaceful atmosphere and is not intended for loud parties.

The surrounding village of Lower Wraxall is characterized by its quaint charm, featuring a small chalk stream and the historic Grade I listed St Mary’s Church. The area has a rich farming heritage, with archaeological remnants of medieval farms still visible.
