These delightful properties, converted into comfortable holiday cottages, stand on the grounds of the owners’ working farm (care needed with children).
The Granary (ref W43949) is a spacious barn and has been restored, taking care to use many of the original features and characteristics of its original life as a granary – the beams, the grain bag pulley system and other unknown objects have been put to good use. Both The Coach House (ref 15661) and Hog Pits (ref 18961) are all on one level and have a cosy wood burner. They all have an enclosed garden with lovely views over the countryside. The chickens and pigs (currently no pigs) are a delight to watch in their free-range enclosures. This is the perfect holiday base from which to explore the many attractions Wiltshire has to offer – just 5 miles from the M4 yet in a completely rural setting. There are many footpaths and cycle routes in the surrounding area, with the Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal towpaths also nearby. Within a short drive are the picturesque villages of Lacock and Castle Combe, both favourite locations for TV and film directors. Lacock features in Harry Potter, Downton Abbey and Pride and Prejudice, and Castle Combe was the backdrop for War Horse.
Chippenham is an old market town with good shopping facilities and Devizes is on the Kennet and Avon canal with the famous Caen locks. Bradford on Avon is often referred to as a ‘mini Bath’ with splendid Georgian architecture and a bustling community. The Roman spa city of Bath itself is a short drive and a must-visit for a day out, with many famous sights to explore such as the museums, the abbey, Pulteney Bridge and the Roman baths to name but a few. Bowood House has magnificent gardens and an adventure playground, and the famous ancient sites and stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury are well worth a visit. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 2 miles. Properties 15661, 18961 and W43949 can be booked together to accommodate up to 14 guests.

Had a lovely holiday stay on this farm (family with 6 year old). Visited local attractions such as Lacock Abbey, Roman Baths, Cotswold Wildlife Park. Most activities required notable drive, which was ok as we allowed for it. Overall would recommend.

A relaxing break away in a peaceful location amongst nature and farm life. Owners polite but never intrusive. Our dog enjoyed the safely fenced off outdoor space. Outdoor seating. Cottage was cosy and well equipped. £25 extra payable on arrival over autumn/winter for fuel (informed at time of booking). Booklet and leaflets provided for interesting days out. We found the bed a little uncomfortable, and the bedrooms a squeeze. The lounge area was great, and the bathroom light and airy. One of the curtain poles in the lounge is loose and fell down twice when I opened the curtains. Chippenham is only a 10-min drive away, handy for essentials. Other interesting towns and villages are within easy reach, and plenty of walks on the doorstep.
