About this property
Old Dairy Cottage - Self catering cottage in the heart of rural Wiltshire. Kennet Avon Canal Nearby
The Old Dairy is a relaxing and tranquil cottage in the heart of the rural Pewsey Vale, Wiltshire.
Renovated in mid 2021 the property is located on the edge of the small family run horse yard, part of the working farm, and about 100 yards around the corner from our small and exclusive caravan site limited to 5 campers or less (Perfect if you want to holiday with family who have a caravan). There is ample off road parking for several vehicles and is completely self contained.
Step into your holiday haven, where every detail is crafted to embrace you in warmth and comfort. As you open the door, the heart of the home beckons – a kitchen and dining space that whispers tales of joyous gatherings and delicious feasts.
In the kitchen, you'll find all the essentials for your culinary adventures – a microwave, toaster, kettle, and a sleek electric oven grill and hob combo. And because we believe in making your holiday truly carefree, there's even a dishwasher to tackle the cleanup, sparing you from any unnecessary toil. The kitchen sides gracefully unfold in an inviting L-shape, offering ample room for your creativity. On the opposite side, a dining table eagerly awaits, ready to host the delightful spread of your holiday treats.
As you venture further, the living room unfolds, a sanctuary of relaxation. Sink into the embrace of two sumptuous faux leather sofas, circling around an old well transformed into a captivating glass coffee table. Feel the warmth emanating from the faux wood fire, a comforting companion on cooler nights. The smart TV invites you to unwind with your favourite movies, completing the perfect evening in.
Ascend the stairs, and the cozy charm continues. The master bedroom, adorned with a king-size bed, invites the sun's gentle rays through its windows. A built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers stand ready to cradle your belongings, and for your convenience, a hairdryer and tower fan are at your disposal. The second bedroom, a versatile retreat, can be configured as a king-size bed or twin singles, accompanied by a chest of drawers.
At the end of the hallway, discover the family bathroom – a haven of modern aesthetics and relaxation. Immerse yourself in the spacious walk-in shower and revel in the pristine ambiance.
Outside, a small picket fence frames the idyllic spot for morning coffees, complete with a flowered planter and a welcoming garden bench. Overlooking grassy fields, it's a tranquil retreat. The picket fence ensures your furry friends remain close, while just opposite, a fully fenced grassed picnic area invites joyous moments for both children and dogs or a serene evening picnic.
Venture beyond the gate, and the world opens up. Offroad walking trails beckon, leading you to the nearby Kennet and Avon Canal towpath, a mere 2-minute stroll away and is great fro cycling. Your holiday escape awaits, blending the coziness of home with the wonders of the great outdoors.
Your furry friends are welcome on the ground floor of the property (a small additional cleaning fee applies). There are several dog friendly pub's / Cafe's within a few miles offering opportunities for a quick refreshment while walking!

Lovely holiday cottage
Excellent cottage, the only way comfort could be increased would be a couple of reading/side lamps for those of us who read books in bed, and in evening in lounge!

Bliss
Warm, comfortable and welcoming, we stayed for a few weeks and absolutely loved it! We would thoroughly recommend the cottage and the area to anyone who wants a rural getaway. Sam and Leila were excellent hosts: extremely kind and nothing was too much trouble. A lovely stay!!
Really enjoyed our stay here. Very roomy, comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Liked the quirky well feature. Lovely shower. Enjoyed being close to horsey neighbours and the local walks along canal/through village.One suggestion - perhaps a small coffee table in lounge we think would be useful.
Peaceful location with easy access to canal and hill walks.
King's Arms in All Cannings is a great pub with very good food. 50 minute drive to Longleat.

Another lovely visit
We have stayed many times at the cottage and each time it has been a very pleasant place to rest and relax, our dogs have been made very welcome with a lovely big cage for night time, indeed they seem to love it and we don’t hear anything from them even when we come down in the morning… we recommend this cottage for a lovely stay.

Very comfortable stay in a rural setting
We enjoyed our stay in the comfortable and well equipped Old Dairy Cottage, part of Church Farm and adjacent to livery stables. It is located in a very attractive area of Wiltshire, close to a White Horse outlined on a nearby hill, and in easy reach of Avebury and Stonehenge. It is interesting to look out and see horses being groomed or fed and to observe local wildlife too. There is a pleasant area nearby to sit in, which catches the evening sun. A quiet relaxing place to return to after visiting busy archaeological sites or nearby towns.
In the quietness of a small village (Stanton St. Bernard) is this very nice cottage, located in the Midlands nature, close to a farm. It has all the luxury, very complete, and at the same time the atmosphere of an old dairy cottage with nice authentic elements. The hosts are very friendly as well. It is a very nice location for walking trips, and is also close to the Kennett and Avon Canal.
A fantastic short break with great walks, shopping in Marlborough and relaxing in a lovely cottage which was comfy clean and really well equipped with everything you could want. Some thoughtful touches included goodies for us and treats for my dog! Will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage clean and comfortable
We loved the cottage , you have a great cleaning team. The cottage is spotless.
The enclosed garden is great for dogs , although one of our dogs managed to squeeze out under the gate !
All the goodies left for humans and dogs were well received . Thankyou
Wir lieben die zurückgezogene Lage, den Kanal (eine surreal wirkende Parallelwelt), die Gemütlichkeit des Cottages und der freundliche Empfang mit Saft, Milch, Tee, leckerem Gebäck…Nur schade, den Gastgeber nicht getroffen zu haben.
