About this property

Situated rurally in Christian Malford, a quaint village in Wiltshire is No. 3, The Old Parlour, a two-bedroom barn conversion welcoming four guests and a furry companion. Just a short journey away from the delights of the Cotswolds and within walking distance to a range of amenities, the property offers guests a stylish open-plan living space, off-road parking, and a private garden, delivering a family-friendly base for a countryside escape. Park up and make your way into the living space, ready to be wowed by its light flooded interior, where you'll find a plush seating area with wood burning stove, a well-equipped sleek kitchen, and a handy breakfast bar as well as a well-positioned dining table, affording views out to the garden. Head outdoors if you prefer an alfresco affair, where you'll locate some outdoor furniture to dine and bask in the sunshine. As the night unfolds, climb the spiral staircase, making your way to the spacious bathroom, where you can enjoy a long soak or a quick refresh, whatever your preference. Retire to one of two well-presented and stylish bedrooms, including a king-size and a double, ahead of your busy itinerary, exploring the south of England. Nearby in Chippenham, tour the local museum, enjoy a picnic at John Coles Park, or take advantage of the surrounding eateries and shops, before exploring many stunning landscapes across the Cotswolds. Further south, take a tour of Bowood House & Gardens, an elegant Grade II Listed Georgian country house, explore the Bowood Woodland Gardens, follow the Horsebrook Nature Trail, or discover Caen Hill Locks, whilst the Roundway Down Iron Age Hill Fort is a must-visit if you're an avid hiker, enveloped by rolling hills and far-reaching vistas. Jump on the train from Chippenham and you will be in Bath in just 20 minutes, this beautiful, cosmopolitan city, a World Heritage Site, offers something for everyone. No matter the time of year you visit, you are likely to find events catering for all tastes, from the famous Christmas market to music, food and cultural festivals and world-class theatre productions on offer at the Theatre Royal. The streets are lined with every kind of restaurant and the wide range of quality bars and shops are sure to tempt. The stunning architecture of Georgian terraces are famous and a joy to behold, whilst a visit to the celebrated Roman Baths and wonderful abbey are a must whilst staying in this beautiful city. Should you tire of all on offer in the centre then there are many attractions located under an hour’s drive away; take a gentle boat trip along the Kennet and Avon Canal, explore the craft shops at local Frome or Bradford-on-Avon, or explore mystical Glastonbury, Cheddar Caves, Wookey Hole, Lacock or even ancient Stonehenge. Bath offers visitors a very special holiday experience, whatever the season. Experience all of this at No. 3 The Old Parlour.

The community of Christian Malford is located between the North Wessex Downs aonb and the Cotswolds, approximately south of the M4. A 13th-century church, a village store, a post office, and The Rising Sun Inn pub—run by a group of local villagers and serving delectable home-cooked meals and a promise of a warm welcome—all provide excellent services to this rural hamlet. You may reach the market town of Chippenham, where there is a wider range of amenities, in a short amount of time by automobile. The historical homes Avebury Manor and Middlewick House, as well as the Farmtastic Animal Farm, which caters to all ages and preferences, are just a few of the nearby attractions.

    Both bedrooms are a good size so they can accommodate two adults with ease and in our case an infant in our travel cot as well. Downstairs is totally open plan, again with plenty of room for us. The off road parking for two cars was an important criteria in our search and this proved to be better than thought. An information book of local pubs, shops, attractions, doctors etc would have been useful. Two final small negative points; the pictures suggest there would be spare toilet roles this was not the case, and although there was a Dyson there the cylinder was nearly full from its use before our arrival, surely this should have been emptied.

    Plenty of crockery and cutlery, cooking utensils etc. Bedrooms comfortable and good bathroom. Nice place to stay. In terms of eating out I suggest phoning ahead as we had three disappointing attempts where website didn’t meet reality, and Monday night’s not catered for apparently!!
