Superb converted Old Dairy, spacious, well equipped in quiet rural location

The Old Dairy is a newly converted former Dairy situated in the yard of our 500 year old farmhouse in the beautiful village of South Wraxall which lies on the southern edge of the Cotswolds. We are just five miles from the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath and 2 miles from the beautiful Saxon town of Bradford-on-Avon. Situated in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside the Old Dairy gives peace and tranquility in a quintessentially English Village.

Decorated with a stylish mix of vintage and contemporary furniture, comfortable pocket sprung mattresses, luxury cotton bed linen and fluffy towels. The Old Dairy has everything you need for a wonderful relaxing stay.

The village of South Wraxall is a charming English country village with a lovely 14 century church, cotswold stone houses and great country walks. We have a fantastic award winning local pub, The Longs Arms rated in the top 50 Gastropubs 2017. There is plenty to do in the local area from walking, biking, playing golf or riding or just relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet of country living.

Excellent quiet accomodation
We spent a couple of nights in the old dairy and had a lovely time. The property is in a very quiet location where you can only hear birds and the odd horse passing by. Very well equipped making it a comfortable stay.

Beautiful and comfortable
Short family stay 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 dogs, loved by all. Very comfortable stay with some lovely additions (wood burning stove and TV in the bathroom) for an extra treat. Friendly welcome but not overbearing. Everything required for eating in, warm and cosy in the evenings. Thank you, we will be returning 😁

Lovely accommodation, great location and excellent hosts
Had a great week staying at the Old Dairy, excellent standard of accommodation, its very spacious and so so peaceful. Pet friendly and nice garden. Plenty of quiet walks on the roads/lanes and paths surrounding the property and great access with car to Bradford upon Avon, Bath and Bristol. Excellent communication from Dinah throughout. We would happily stay again and recommend. Thank you.

Fantastic weekend retreat
We spent a lovely weekend at the old dairy. The accommodation is immaculate, finished to a very high specification, right down from the appliances to the quality of the sheets and towels. The welcome pack was appreciated and the fresh flowers a nice touch. The gents loved looking at the cars with Mark. We have stayed in many self catering accommodations and this is the best we have been in. Hopefully we can return again.

Everything you could possibly need from a home away from home with 5* hotel touches
We absolutely loved staying at the dairy and wished we could have stayed longer. We were welcomed by fresh bread, eggs, milk and a basket full of goodies plus tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The old dairy was immaculately clean and we really appreciated the finer touches of soft towels, sumptuous cotton bedding and feather pillow and quilts. We all had a lovely nights sleep in the comfy beds. We would highly recommend the old dairy, it was idyllic, warm and cozy. Everything had been thought of and we will definitely visit again

A very relaxing place to unwind
The property was outstanding, the pictures don't do it justice. My wife loved the over large tub and the fireplace (which was set to light on arrival). There were snacks and eggs (which my sons loved), this place was like coming home. We liked being away from the city and using it as a base for stonehenge/bath/wells, etc... On leaving I wished I could have stayed longer. The hosts were very nice and welcoming as well, going out of their way to introduce themselves.

Great place to wind down
The property is situated in a peaceful location, with a secure enclosed garden for the dogs. There were plenty of places to walk without taking the car. The welcome pack on arrival included milk, eggs, bread, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and breakfast cereals - most welcome after a long journey. Dinah and Mark were very friendly and approachable and offered us a warm welcome - but this was unfortunately cut short by our two unruly dogs and our hungry and impatient baby grandson. The property was tastefully decorated, and the owners had thought of everything, including a TV in the en-suite! Definitely want to return to - if they'll have us back!

Sumptiously Comfortable!
Dinah and Mark have created a wonderful little retreat in the Old Diary. Everything is finished to top standards - the beds are so comfortable, water pressure & temperature is A1. There is even a TV in the bathroom!! We along with our dogs really enjoyed our stay & South Wraxall was a great location for exploring Somerset & Wiltshire with a lovely walk on the doorstep. Loved the home grown elegant tulips & eggs - especially the blue one! Thank you :)

2nd time, love this place
This is the 2nd time we have stayed in the old dairy and we again had a wonderful time. We love this place, the farm is so peaceful and quiet and the accommodation is lovely. Couldn't fault a single thing with the property. Its so well equipped and very comfortable. Dinah is very helpful and not intrusive at all. We still love the area and Bagh in general. Hoping to come back again in the future. Thanks for the wonderful stay

What a fantastic stay!
No expense spared in furnishing this property and we love love love all the luxurious details. A surprise awaits you in the master bedroom bathroom. We won't spoil it here. But that was the highlight of our stay. The accommodation was brand new, sparkling clean, bright and comfortable. Dinah was super friendly and quick to respond. One of my favourite holidays ever!

The old dairy is one of the most comfortable, well equipped places we have ever stayed. It has everything you need and more - lots of little luxuries to make it extra special. The location is great for exploring Bath and Bradford but there are some lovely walks on the doorstep too. Would definitely return!
