Full Description

27 Horsefair is one of a terrace row of distinguished Cotswold stone cottages. With its eye-catching grey front door and pretty sash windows, it’s the perfect quintessential Cotswold cottage. Inside, the cottage is unexpectedly spacious, with two large double bedrooms (including an attic room with views towards Malmesbury Abbey), a cosy sitting room with a large wood burner and a lovely kitchen-dining area that benefits from plenty of natural light thanks to its atrium ceiling. Decorated throughout in stony blues and slate, this well-appointed cottage is tasteful blend of traditional character and modernity. Guests staying in the cottage even have access to their own private outdoor patio area, with pretty climbing rose trees, a BBQ and a rattan dining suite.

Beautifully furnished and very clean. It is immediately apparent that the owners have put a lot of effort and love in restoring and maintaining this property.

I live in Malmesbury and booked this property for some visitors as was hosting a family party and didn't have room for everyone. They were delighted with their beautifully appointed little cottage! Everything was clean and well-maintained. They found the beds comfortable and had all that they needed. Overall a lovely property.

Beautiful cottage in a great location, had everything we needed for our stay. Had a lovely walk down to the river, where we were able to let the dog off the lead, and then round behind the Abbey and back into town. We were able to park just up the road.

It was central to town with lovely furnishings and it was impeccably clean. Perfect for us and our 2 children. The beds were comfy, and the location was perfect. Check-in was seamless, and we enjoyed every second.

Great location with plenty of walks in the surrounding countryside and it was blissfully quiet at night. I visited when the weather was cold and a bit drizzly in December but that didn't make it any less beautiful. The home is a delight with everything you might need if staying in and cooking.A short stroll down the hill is Michael's the Butchers/deli, which also serves a fabulous breakfast, and a little bit further along The Old Bell Hotel was looking very festive and I enjoyed a delicious dinner there. For a small town, there are many great places to eat, local butchers, bakers and a Waitrose all within easy walking distance. It's a fantastic base to tour the area from should you wish to visit larger places such as Bath and only a short drive away are Castle Coombe, Lacock, Avebury, Marlborough and Ramsbury. There are some great dining spots in and around this area such as Whatley Manor or Bybrook and there are also some fantastic pubs.

A beautiful cottage in a small south Cotswold town and an ideal location for travel. It’s a comfortable dwelling with good bedrooms, a bathroom shower and a living room. Perfect for a few day's break!

The cottage is located within easy walking distance of the charming and historic market town of Malmesbury, which dates back to the Iron Age. History lovers will enjoy visiting the hometown of King Athelstan, first king of all England (924-927), and the 12th Century abbey as well as England’s oldest hotel – Abbey House Gardens. As well as a multitude of shops and curiosities, Malmesbury is home to a number of fantastic restaurants, cafes, bistros and pubs – see Local Amenities for more information!

Just 15 minutes away you will find Tetbury, the antique shopping capital of the Cotswolds The lovely town is teeming with unique antique shops, and an abundance of cafes, boutiques and pubs and of course, Prince Charles’ Tetbury residence inspired shop – Highgrove, where all profits go to The Prince of Wales’ Charitable Foundation. Westonbirt Arboretum, home to over 2500 different species of tree, is just a short drive away, as is the bigger market town of Cirencester.
