Stables Cottage, Bowerhill

Stables Cottage is a beautifully restored stone barn conversion in the Wiltshire countryside near Melksham. This single-storey retreat features exposed timber beams, original stonework and traditional barn doors that open onto peaceful rural views. The cottage sits in a quiet hamlet surrounded by rolling farmland and meadows.

The setting is pure countryside. Fields stretch out in every direction. You'll wake to birdsong and see nothing but green pastures from the windows.

Inside you'll find two comfortable bedrooms sleeping four guests, plus a modern bathroom. The open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining and sitting areas under a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Barn doors flood the room with natural light.

Lacock village with its National Trust properties sits 4 miles away (8 minutes). Bath's Georgian architecture and Roman Baths are 12 miles east (25 minutes). Longleat Safari Park makes a great family day out at 15 miles (28 minutes). The Cotswolds start just 20 miles north (35 minutes).

Stables Cottage works brilliantly for couples wanting a peaceful countryside escape in an authentic barn conversion with proper rural character.
