Located in the tranquil hamlet of Draycot Cerne, near the historic market town of Malmesbury in Wiltshire, this spacious accommodation is ideally set on a 20-acre working farm at the edge of the stunning Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Designed to comfortably host large groups of friends or families, the property sleeps up to 14 guests across six well-appointed bedrooms. The inviting open-plan living room features a central woodburning stove, providing a cozy atmosphere perfect for unwinding during colder evenings, while the contemporary kitchen, equipped with an AGA, encourages guests to prepare delicious home-cooked meals together.
The sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully arranged across both floors, catering to diverse needs. On the ground floor, there are four double bedrooms, one of which includes an en-suite shower room, making it accessible for guests with limited mobility. Another bedroom on this level features a sitting area with pellet heating for added comfort. The upper floors house a family bedroom with a double bed and a day bed, along with an additional double bedroom, ensuring flexibility for various group configurations. Outside, a large garden area invites guests to enjoy alfresco dining while their pets roam freely on the lawn.
During your stay, you and your companions can interact with the farm's resident animals, including lambs, calves, piglets, rheas, peacocks, and alpacas, enhancing the rural experience. If you wish to explore beyond the farm, the nearby village of Christian Malford offers a local pub and a shop for essential supplies. For a wider selection of amenities, the market town of Chippenham is a short drive away, and the region is rich with walking paths in the Cotswolds and North Wessex Downs AONB, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
Attractions in the vicinity cater to all ages and interests, featuring historical sites such as Avebury Manor and Middlewick House, while younger visitors will enjoy the adventures at Farmtastic Animal Farm. A trip to the city of Bath is also highly recommended, where guests can indulge in shopping, fine dining, and the unique experience of the Thermae Bath Spa, home to Britain’s only natural thermal hot springs.
