So much space and so clean. Lots of wonderful extras: in the kitchen, dressing gowns for the hot tub, bath floor mats, 2 TVs, board games and a wonderful games room. Fabulous secure garden with all those sitting areas, boules lane, fireplace area and such a highly stocked kitchen with quality china and appliances with room to sit and look at the view!. Plenty of parking and a large secure gate against a main road. Such a great property for a family get together. We would love to return!

The owner was on hand for any problems or information not that it was needed. Wouldnât hesitate to recommend this lovely property such a good base for getting round local attractions. Malmesbury Itself is a lovely little town very picturesque, and Abbey is well worse of visit as is the museum in the town hall. Had some lovely meals out particularly recommend the rook and the hole in the wall pizza takeaway amazing.

Even better than described. The property owner was quickly on hand to sort little niggles. We all felt seriously looked after - the dog (especially), the toddler and 6 adults!! Lots of little bolt holes if anyone wanted 'space' but big spaces too when we wanted to be all together. Lovely. Thank you.
