The Barn, Draycot Cerne near Malmesbury | Barn Conversion Holiday in Wiltshire

About The Barn

The Barn is a beautifully restored stone barn conversion in rural Wiltshire. Original exposed beams span the ceiling. Thick stone walls keep the space cool in summer. The barn sits in peaceful countryside near Chippenham. An open fire crackles in the living room on cooler evenings. The vaulted ceiling creates a real sense of space.

Fields stretch out in every direction from the barn. You'll wake to birdsong and open skies. The setting feels properly remote yet you're only minutes from local villages.

The Barn sleeps six across three bedrooms. Two doubles and one twin room share two bathrooms. The open-plan kitchen flows into the dining area. Oak barn doors lead outside to the garden.

Lacock village (3 miles, 8 minutes) offers historic streets and the abbey. Castle Combe (6 miles, 12 minutes) is one of England's prettiest villages. Bath (14 miles, 25 minutes) brings Roman baths and Georgian architecture. Bowood House (4 miles, 10 minutes) has gardens and adventure playgrounds.

Families and couples wanting proper countryside peace will love The Barn. Original features meet modern comfort in this characterful Wiltshire retreat.
