Escape to the picturesque countryside of Wiltshire with a stay at this impressive family farmhouse. Its setting is idyllic, surrounded by rolling hills in the hamlet of Great Somerford, with two village pubs in stumbling distance. And if you fancy a taste of market town life, historic Malmesbury is just a short drive away. Perfect for a multi-generational stay (with four-legged friends in tow), kids will love you for the playroom and vast lawns for a runabout. And while the elegant interiors may be a little fussy for some, who couldn’t be charmed by the countless cosy sitting rooms and open fires?
