The Wool Barn is highly praised for its cleanliness, luxurious standards, and beautiful location with easy access to local walks and a friendly pub. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack and the presence of the owners' friendly dog. The property is well-equipped for a relaxing stay, though one review mentions discomfort with the bed and clutter, which seems to be an outlier.

Most guests report the property as spotlessly clean, contributing to a high cleanliness score. However, one review citing cobwebs and dog hair slightly lowers the score.

The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, with wonderful walks and a good local pub, leading to a high score in this category.

The majority of guests find the accommodation comfortable and luxurious. One negative review regarding the bed and seating comfort slightly impacts the score.

Guests frequently mention the welcome pack and the helpfulness of the owners, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed.

About this property

Warminster 5.8 miles. Nestled in Wiltshire’s countryside in the picturesque Cranborne Chase Area Outstanding Natural Beauty is The Wool Barn. This spacious, dog-friendly, first-floor barn conversion benefits from off-road parking, a stylish interior completed by a sumptuous double bedroom with fabulous views across the countryside; the perfect choice for couples looking to explore all Wiltshire has to offer. Enter into your new home-from-home where stylish brick flooring greets you and follow the steps up to find a welcoming, open-plan living space where you can unwind on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV. Snuggle up here and watch on as your partner pampers you with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen; dine together at the breakfast bar or at the dining table which boasts unbeatable, far-reaching views of the countryside. After dinner, head downstairs to savour the last light over Wiltshire and raise a glass to your getaway as the stars fill the sky. When the evening draws to a close, locate the bathroom to freshen up and ready to slope off to sleep in the double bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from this tranquil and romantic dwelling, venture to the Prince Leopold Inn where you can enjoy a date night with delicious food and a variety of drinks, or continue into the town of Warminster where you can stock up on all of your essentials for creating culinary delights. The Wool Barn boasts an unbeatable location in the Cranborne Chase AONB: A great day out is guaranteed at iconic Longleat, famous for its Safari Park, hedge maze and stunning Elizabethan house. Immerse yourself in the past with a trip to nearby Stonehenge or head to Salisbury to tour its museum, Old Sarum and the breath-taking medieval cathedral. There are also ample walking, hiking and cycling opportunities offering panoramic views across the English countryside. Experience all this and more at The Wool Barn.

Warminster, a charming market town in Wiltshire, sits at the top of the verdant Wylye Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the south west of Salisbury Plain. Longleat, the largest safari park in the United Kingdom, features an exquisite Tudor mansion, beautiful gardens, and exotic animals like monkeys, lions, and giraffes, and is an absolute must-see on any trip to the area. Despite its prominence as a military hub, the historic character of Warminster's town centre has been maintained, and you can still discover charming residences and inns constructed from the local Warminster stone. A short two-minute stroll takes you to a place teeming with beautiful walking paths. Smallbrook Meadows is a nature reserve, park, and skatepark in Warminster that is easily accessible on foot, beginning with one of the town's three supermarkets or one of its many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, antique shops, museums, or theatres. While they're not busy making award-winning malted barley for the beer industry, the friendly folks at Warminster Maltings open their doors to the public for tours and cream teas in the summer. Alternately, you should definitely check out the beautiful cities of Bath and Salisbury, as well as the National Trust's Stourhead and the British Heritage site Stonehenge. This picturesque locale is teeming with unexpected delights and makes for an excellent home base for your travels.

    Stylish, modern, quiet, clean, unique, lots of attention to detail and welcoming / engaged owners. I am CEO of an organisation that owns 7 holiday cottages and I am super-fussy about standards. On all levels, Wool Barn exceeded my expectations. 10/10.

  • Charlotte
