About this property

4 Star holiday cottage on farm near Marlborough, Stonehenge and Avebury

Close to Marlborough, Avebury, Stonehenge on the edge of a pretty village with large village green surrounded by thatched cottages and a play ground for children. The Stables have been converted to provide high quality and comfortable accommodation for up to 6 people in 3 double or twin rooms each with en-suite bath or shower and TV/DVD player. The rooms all have pocket sprung mattresses and high quality cotton bed linen to ensure a good nights rest. Large open plan sitting, dining, kitchen with original beams and oak floor, 32in flat screen TV and Wifi. The well equipped kitchen has a double oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher and clothes washing machine. Situated between farmhouse and farmyard on working family farm overlooking fields (with cows in summer), trees and barns. High quality comfortable furnishings. Linen, towels and toiletries provided. All on one level so this cottages is ideal for those with mobility issues - please ask for detailed information about accessibility.

The Stables are situated in a wonderful part of the Wiltshire countryside close to Marlborough, on the edge of the Pewsey Vale in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ideal for walking and cycling across downland, through local woods and Savernake Forest or along the Kennet and Avon Canal which is less than a mile from the property. The area is full of wildlife including hares, deer and many bird species from lapwing, kites, barn owls, and kestrels. We are within walking distance of Crofton Beam Engines on the Kennet and Avon Canal and Wilton Windmill.

We are close to the market towns of Marlborough, Hungerford and Devizes and less than an hour from the beautiful cities of Salisbury, Bath, Oxford and Winchester and the ancient sites of Stonehenge and Avebury are both less than half an hour from The Stables making it the perfect base from which to explore the area.

Other great days out within a short distance are Bowood House (with it's super play ground for children, Capability Brown grounds and beautiful house); Lacock Abbey; Highclere Castle (the home of Downton Abbey); Longleat Safari Park and the Caen Hill Locks (at Devizes).

Activities which can be arranged nearby include horse riding, bike hire (bikes can be delivered to The Stables) clay pigeon shooting and fly fishing.

There are some great places to eat out locally. The nearest pub is The Swan at Wilton (1 mile) which is family friendly and serves good food. Other good pubs which we recommend are The Three Tuns at Great Bedwyn, The George at Vernahm Dean. For a treat there's The Harrow at Little Bedwyn and The Woodspeen. Marlborough and Hungerford both have a good choice of cafes and restaurants including the famous Polly Tearooms.

There's a good range of shops nearby - local village shops in Burbage (1 mile) , Cobbs Farm Shop (7 miles) which also now has an indoor play barn for children and has Pick you Own in the summer. Most supermarkets deliver to The Stables so you can pre order a delivery before you get here.

We now have a second cottage available The Hen House sleeps 4 in two 2 en suite rooms please get in touch for more details and great offers!

Book The Stables and The Hen House together and we can accommodate 10 people in 5 bedrooms all with their own en suite bathroom. Discount applies when both properties booked together - please ask for details.

If you like peace and quite this is perfect.
Was delighted with the property and it's location. There was everything one would want; the decor was bright and clean, quality fittings, extras such and towels, shower gel and shampoo were much appreciated. Loads of hot water for six showers each day. Walked to The Swann for lunch was not disappointed. The George at Wilton was a fantastic pub, food and staff were outstanding. Will be recommending to all our family and friends.

Super Stables!
We had a fabulous holiday in this stunning property. The Stables is well appointed, super clean and in a great location. Our children had a lovely time cycling, fishing and exploring. Pip and James we so friendly, really accommodating, even when I put the neighbour's bin out by mistake and caused a local puzzle! Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Enjoyable and relaxing in wonderful sourroundings
We had a very pleasant stay at the farm, the children loved watching the horses and the ducks. The house was very well equipped, especially the kitchen. The spacious living room was very comfortable. Around the house there are many public foot paths to go for nice walks and the house is well situated for trips to Avebury, Stonehenge, Bath etc. We didn't manage to do all the trips possible, so we probably have to come back - what a great idea!

Why they chose this property

The Stables has been carefully converted from a beautiful Victorian red brick stable block to provide really comfortable, en suite, light and warm accommodation on our family working farm in this beautiful part of Wiltshire . Being all on one level makes it easy for those with limited mobility and en suite accommodation suits groups of friends and extended families really well. So many guests comment on how much there is to do in the area and how accessible everything is from here with great links to London and other cities (Bath, Oxford etc) .
The Stables is the perfect base for visiting so many places nearby and provides the perfect spot to relax after a day out.
The village itself is very pretty with thatched cottages surrounding the village green with great walks and beautiful views.
There are lots of excellent pubs and restaurants nearby to choose from and we are happy to help with information and recommendations.
