27 Horsefair - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

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.

Sitting Room:

Kitchen-Diner:
A lovely light, bright and spacious room, featuring an atrium skylight and French doors out to the walled patio. Featuring large floor-ceiling storage cupboard and concealed units decorated painted in a blue-toned slate, this room is thoughtfully designed to provide guests with a stylish and well-equipped kitchen. Featuring a dining table to seat four guests, a 5-hob range cooker, fridge, freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, toaster, kettle and washer/dryer.

Great base
The cottage is lovely, beautifully kept and cosy. The owners / contact were great, extremely helpful. The location is ideal - though parking a little tricky. There were some tiny things (no table to put your cup of tea on while watching tv, a coffee machine but no coffee pods), but overall would definitely recommend!

Beautiful cottage in lovely location
Just enjoyed a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. It’s tastefully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen, super comfy beds and cosy lounge with a lovely fire. It is a Grade 2 Listed cottage so you must take that into account - the stairs are steep but we didn’t have a problem with that and only one bumped head! :) Situated in Malmesbury we had a lovely walk around the town and everything is there from welcoming pubs, lovely restaurants and plenty of shops for anything you need. A really wonderful stay.

Tired
Nice place. Great location. A little tired. Dining chairs are very uncomfortable. The whole accommodation could do with a deep clean. Some light bulbs not working. However, we have had a lovely few days.

Perfect Cotswold base
Historic cottage with all mod cons in a quiet part of town perfectly maintained and cleaned. We have two toddlers and had to keep an eye on them with the open staircase but this was not a major issue.

Fabulous stay in a lovely place
We had a great time at 27 Horsefair - the cottage was just absolutely perfect and very clean, we especially loved using the fireplace! It was beautifully decorated, had everything you need and also located a 5 min walk to the town where there are lots of things to do and see, as well as an abundance of great pubs. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a trip to the Cotswolds! Thank you very much!

A lovely cosy bolthole
27 Horsefair is lovely, our favourite part being the downstairs living areas. Very cosy lounge with log fire and comfy sofa. Great kitchen with everything needed to cater for ourselves for the 2 night stay. It rained for our whole stay but I’m sure the courtyard garden would be lovely for a summer staycation! Good location, 5 minuets walk to the high street for pubs and shopping. Our only negative is that parking is a real pain, we understand that it was listed as only on street but there is not enough parking in the narrow streets for the amount of houses in the area.

Easing Lockdown at Horsefair
We chose Malmsbury because of family connections and a desire to see our 3month old granddaughter and 27 Horsefair because it looked lovely and because of its location. Granddaughter is beautiful...of course! and Horsefair is lovely. We have had short stays in Malmsbury before but too short to be able to explore. The local walks are delightful, the town very friendly with good eateries and some great shops. The house is very comfortable, well presented and spacious given the size..we had a very enjoyable time. Thank you. I would like to suggest some additions...a few smaller beaker style glasses, a functioning corkscrew, a knife sharpener, perhaps one smaller saucepan, instructions for TV (we had a young person nearby to help!).
