Full Description

27 Horsefair is a glorious example of a luxury Cotswold cottage, nestled within a charming terrace of Cotswold stone homes. With its elegant sash windows, this period cottage exudes all the character and charm you would expect from a quintessential Malmesbury cottage.

As you step inside, prepare to be surprised by the spaciousness that awaits. The cottage is thoughtfully designed to offer an airy, comfortable retreat, with two characterful double bedrooms. One of these, a beautiful attic room, offers breathtaking views toward the iconic Malmesbury Abbey, providing a serene setting to unwind after a day exploring. The cosy sitting room, with its large wood burner, invites you to sink into its warmth, creating the perfect spot for relaxing evenings. The heart of the home lies in the kitchen-dining area, a sun-drenched space that benefits from an impressive atrium ceiling, flooding the room with natural light. Every detail has been carefully considered to blend timeless character with contemporary convenience, making it the ideal holiday home for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

27 Horsefair is also dog friendly, ensuring that your four-legged companions can share in the joy of this remarkable cottage. For outdoor lovers, a private courtyard area provides a perfect retreat. The garden is adorned with pretty climbing rose trees, and the addition of a BBQ and rattan dining suite make this a wonderful space for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the Cotswold air.

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.
