Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Malmesbury

Phillipa is undoubtedly an incredible host with an incredible property. We arrived after a very long drive and were so grateful to find some breakfast bits: fresh milk, eggs, fresh bread and even juice. The house is an incredible size absolutely perfect for a family of four and even has all the resources for if you were holidaying with very young children (cot, plastic plates and cups, children’s cutlery and even calpol syringes). The house has a brilliant manual that includes a history of the home (fascinating to see the hard work Phillipa and her family have put into the property) as well as local recommendations. We walked the lakes, had a drink in a nearly pub, found a local park and my eldest enjoyed a lake swim. It was incredible to return ‘home’ to a warm and comfortable house with everything we could need. We had dinner at one of Phip’s recommended places and it didn’t disappoint. Phip was so very generous, even letting us access her garden as a treat, we’d definitely return!

Carthorse Barn is just simply stunning ! So spacious and beautifully decorated, we felt right at home . The day we arrived weather was not the greatest so having a wood stove was blissful. The cottage is very spacious and has everything needed for a comfortable stay , kitchen is fully equipped, downstairs toilet a welcomed bonus. Upstairs both bedrooms are immaculate, spacious and have very comfy beds . I loved the window bench in the kids bedroom, such a wonderful nook to relax. The main bedroom has the biggest and comfiest bed I have ever seen , such a beautiful wooden headboard too. I loved the free standing bath. The farm is also lovely and we enjoyed going to see the pigs and walking round the lakes.

Great location if you just want to relax and walk round the village and nearby paths. So easy to just pop back to the cottage to take a break and then venture out again if you just want to spend a couple of days relaxing and enjoying Castle Combe. Cute cottage with many original features. Decent condition considering the age of the house and well maintained!

Great host. very helpful and answered very quickly. fantastic house which was very clean and functional.

This house is so incredible! Just as pictured, the decor is so perfect and charming. The location cannot be beat, walking distance right into the heart of town. Hosts were so responsive and helpful, very kind. Highly recommend booking this stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Wordsmith’s Cottage. It was perfect for what we needed; roomy, clean and homely. We were so grateful to come ‘home’ each night after being out all day exploring.

Peaceful setting, v relaxing. Clean, everything as anticipated from the listing. Good communication from host

This cute cottage is normally fully booked, so when I was up this way for work I was very excited to see there was a rare space! My second stay here and yet again a fantastic one! A lovely little cottage that you just can't not like!

Lovely apartment with everything we needed and more! Very welcoming to us and our dog. We shall be back!

Splendid accommodation in the heart of the town. Appreciated the attention to detail like having cloths, tea, coffee etc Many thanks for the milk in fridge and complimentary drinks on the table 😀 Excellent cd collection too 😀

A beautiful and peaceful cottage with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It was lovely to have everything there to make up a yummy breakfast! The location is great and walking distance to the village and pubs and restaurants.

Immaculate apartment within walking distance from bath city centre. Perfect for two people and would highly recommend!

An exceptional apartment with everything you may need for a short stay in Cheltenham. Suzanne thoughtfully left a welcome basket of goodies which was a very sweet touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We loved staying at Katrina’s and felt very at home here. We were aware of the location when booking and this suited us. Having a parking spot and being able to leave the car in a secure location for a few days, while we looked around, was very useful. The apartment itself is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable and we will surely be recommending Katrina’s place.

Lovely stay at this Airbnb, would recommend. Used as a base to visit friends. Peaceful neighbourhood and walkable to things of interest. Bed very comfy and Julian was a great host!

Central, accessible, one flight of stairs with double hand rails, worth writing codes given, in notes or paper for easy access. Well thought out beautiful design, very comfortable accommodation, will definitely use again, 24 hr parking at the gallery multi storey. Ideal for weekend break or a few days away!

the house and garden made an ideal location for a family celebration. made for a fabulous time. loved the coffee machine and arga and bbq. great space, very homely.

Lovely stay. House was spotless and very spacious. The estate has great facilities (pool, spa, tennis courts, etc) and we loved having access to the lake for paddle boarding. Would recommend the private chef from Ballihoo on the estate. Alasdair was a very helpful and responsive host.

Very enjoyable stay. Jan and team were very responsive throughout our stay. The villa was fantastic, beautiful rooms, spacious and lovely view over the lake. Would definitely consider coming again in the future, and the family all loved the place!

This property is amazing for all ages - we celebrated a birthday here and had the best time. The property is large enough that everyone has their own space but cosy enough that you still feel “together”. The location is beautiful and we made use of the pool and the lake. Lots of stubbing places to see locally and plenty of great restaurants. Recommend!!

Oldbury Barn is in a lovely location in the countryside with great views (though tricky to find, so the 'what3words' helped a lot!). The house was nicely presented and lovely and clean. Plenty of pots, pans, mugs (!) utensils etc for a large family group. The open plan nature of the kitchen/diner/lounge is great for a multi generational family gathering like ours, as you are always all together in one huge room. However, note that its a tiled floor and there isn't much in the way of soft furnishings so noise echoes around a bit and can be heard from all bedrooms - but this is only a problem if you have very young kids going to bed early or getting up early! The 2 ground floor bedrooms are large and with lots of storage. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are small with very low ceilings and little storage - fine for kids but we were were 7 adults and one toddler, so that didnt work brilliantly for us . The "slight height restriction" in the description is quite an understatement!!

A beautiful bright spacious modern house with wonderful views across the lake. It is just like the pictures or even better. The lounge and bedrooms are so comfortable and the kitchen is wonderfully equipped with everything you need. Communication was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here.

Just spent a lovely week at Jan's in a party of 13. Beautiful house and gardens in a very peaceful location. Garden was huge and had wonderful views of the lake. House was equipped with everything you need, even down to shampoo and extra bath sheets for the jacuzzi! Will definately be visiting again. Thank you Jan.

We had a wonderful time at this house on the Lower Mill Estate. Everything was as described. It was a very well-equipped house with everything we needed for our stay with our 10 month old. Our host was very responsive when we had an issue with the hot tub and got it sorted ASAP. We would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely come back again.
