We have had a wonderful week in lovely Wiltshire.

Such a nice comfortable place to stay with everything we needed. Also super clean and tidy. Bed was super comfortable and we loved the hot tub! Garden. Perfect for relaxing in after a hard day’s walking. Kitchen really well equipped with everything we needed. We went for some lovely meals – The Langley Tap – Sunday roast was superb. The New Inn also really good hearty pub food. We loved the walk from the house, along the canal, to the Barge Pub. All in all a lovely stay!

What a great find

What a great find. Thanks to Sarah & Paul. Lovely house, great spot, amazing hot tub and couldn’t ask for a more relaxing holiday. Cheddar Gorge was great. Bath was lovely. Good quality pub grub at both The Barge Inn & the 3 Magpies. The well at Bulkington was exceptional. The Caen locks are a must see. Many thanks again to Sarah & Paul.

Our stay at The Hay Barn

We were one of the first few families lucky enough to stay at The Hay Barn and would recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area. The accommodation was new and was spotlessly clean. Its location was ideal for visiting Stonehenge and Bath and whilst it is situated in peaceful countryside, it was also only a few minutes’ drive away from local supermarkets. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax at the end of a day of walking and seeing the local sights. Having the use of an iron and ironing board.

What a lovely find. Near the canal and a pub in each direction.

The house was great. All new and quality furniture. Bed very comfortable. The barn is huge. Hot tub a delight. Highly recommend. Great for seeing Bath, cheddar gorge and Stonehenge. You must see the Caen locks near Devizes. A side table for the chair would be great. Toiletries in the bathroom would help. Shame there is not a door to the garden and hot tub.

Lovely little place

Ah what a lovely little place to stay! We’ve had the best time. The Hay Barn’s absolutely perfect. Spent our days out sightseeing, then back for a chill out, tea and then into the hot tub. We’ve been to Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, and Cheddar Gorge, all really easy to drive to from here. Love the hot tub. It’s great of an evening when it’s much cooler night temperatures, and it’s great to relax in it in the dark. Many thanks to Sarah for providing such a lovely place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the towns.

Thank you Sarah and Paul for a lovely and relaxing stay in your beautiful Hay Barn

Thank you Sarah and Paul for a lovely and relaxing stay in your beautiful Hay Barn. You have thought of everything to make it a real home from home in which to switch off and take full advantage of the many dog-friendly walks, right on the doorstep. We loved Marlborough, Bradford-on-Avon and walked right along the canal past all the locks to Devizes! (11 miles!) We also enjoyed meals at The Barge Inn, The Three Magpies, as well as a delicious Sunday lunch at The Langley Tap, Chippenham, which we would highly recommend. The hot tub was a very welcome bonus at the end of a long day exploring. Great to have the little touches like the wine too. Thank you for everything!

Everything you need for a great holiday

The location is great as you can walk behind the property to the canal, and follow it left or right to visit two great pubs. There are very many places to visit in the area, including taking a short train journey from Chippenham to Bath. It is interesting to see the canal locks in action, and you can visit beautiful places used to film Harry Potter and Pride & Prejudice. At the end of a busy day we jumped in the fantastic hot tub and chilled out. The accommodation is spacious and well equipped, and the beds are firm and comfortable. Sarah and Paul are just next door, if there is anything you need they will go out of their way to help. We would come back again. A few small suggestions would be: A mop for the floor (in case you drip coming back in from the hot tub, or out of the shower), and moisture resistant paint on the walls (less affected by water splashes).

What a truly wonderful stay!

What a truly wonderful stay! We feel so lucky to have been the first guests in this gorgeous countryside cabin. We felt completely at home. There is so much to enjoy here as a family – beautiful countryside, plenty of places to walk our dog. The accommodation is absolutely lovely, peaceful and full of thoughtful touches. It is the perfect place to slow down and spend some quality time together and make lots of memories. A huge thank you to our lovely hosts who were so lovely, welcoming and helpful. We would love to return one day and would happily recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside break. Thank you for letting us be your first guests.
