  • Family-run farm with 40 acres of space in the Wiltshire countryside
  • Westonbirt Arboretum 15 minutes' drive; Bath city centre 40 minutes
  • Gorgeous rural views 15 minutes' walk from Malmesbury town centre
The Weaver family have been living at Wiltshire’s Whychurch Farm since 1899 – and even a quick look at the pics should give you a few clues as to why they’d want to hang around in the same spot for such a long time. What was once a dairy and beef farm has now diversified to welcome guests to stay in a fenced-off top corner of a 40-acre field called The Worthies. Although the farm doesn’t have its own cattle any more, a local farmer grazes his cows on the fields – so you’ll be able to watch them going about their lives while you’re sitting out soaking up the views and fresh air (and you might catch a glimpse of the roe deer that live here too…). The countryside atmosphere is obviously a huge draw for this place – but in fact, so is the proximity of handy town amenities. Despite the thoroughly rural views, it’s only a short 15-minute stroll to Malmesbury town centre for shops, pubs and places to eat. There’s easy access to the M4 from here too, so journeys in and out are straightforward (as are day trips to places like Bath, Westonbirt Arboretum and the Cotswolds). This is a rural site so you can expect gorgeous sunsets and stargazing. Sensor lights are set up all around the site to help you find your way after dark, but it’s a good idea to pack a torch anyway – and you’re welcome to bring a barbecue or firepit too (although you’ll not be able to use them on windy days because of the fire risk posed by nearby straw and hay barns).

Liked L’emplacement, le cadre, le calme, la nature, le concept et les aménagements.

Disliked Tout était très bien mais certaines informations (ustensiles disponibles en cuisine) étaient pas notés dans l’annonce et mériteraient d’être notés pour mieux s’organiser. Des oreillers pourraient être fournis.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, would be more convenient to have another toilet especially in the mornings but I understand it's a small site

Local attractions

While wandering around Malmesbury (15 minutes' walk) it’s well worth seeing if you can catch one of the open days at the Abbey House Manor Gardens. There’s more wonderful horticulture to explore at Highgrove Gardens (10 minutes' drive) and Westonbirt, The National Arboretum (15 minutes), or you could mix up greenery and outdoor art at Cotswold Sculpture Park (20 minutes). Other outdoor activities this area has to offer include watersports, fishing, horse riding and beach time at Cotswold Lakes (20 minutes) or wine tours at Woodchester Valley Vineyard (25 minutes). If you're here at the right time, you may like to see expert riders in action at Badminton Horse Trials (25 minutes). For a hit of history, head to Chavenage House (15 minutes) and Lacock Abbey (25 minutes) or take a day to wander around Bath (40 minutes), taking in the Roman Baths, the abbey and the stunning Royal Crescent.
