The Cowsheds is comprised of 5 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. All rooms have a cupboard, desk, smart TV and fit a travel cot (if required) and the beds are made up in Egyptian cotton sheets, goose down duvets. The
bathrooms all have a cast iron roll top bath and / or a monsoon shower, along with fluffy white Egyptian cotton towels and Cowsheds cosmetics. More detail for each room below...
Bedroom 1 ("Monday") is the largest room, furnished with Volga linen fabrics, India Jane lamps and, in addition to the above, a sumptuous sofa. This easily fits the high-end portable single bed to sleep the 11th guest and/or our 2 travel cots, if required. The spacious bathroom is equipped with a monsoon shower and a cast iron bath fitted with Lefroy Brooks hand-crafted taps. Bedroom 2 ("Tuesday") offers a more contemporary style with a beautiful nickel king sized bed, backed with a panelled wall and warm low level lighting. The adjoining bathroom offers an enormous Lefroy Brooks basin with an extravagant monsoon shower. This bathroom is also furnished with grab rails, so is possibly best suited to any elderly or disabled member of the group. Bedroom 3 ("Wednesday") holds a super king bed, a sofa bed and 2 other comfortable sofas. The room is multi-purpose, either an extremely large and decadent bedroom with an additional seating area, or perhaps better to divide off the sitting room from the bedroom with the thick linen curtain, still allowing plenty of room for a couple in the bedroom and a small party in the sitting room, or deploy the sofa bed and create anther bedroom. The room is dressed with Volga linens and a lovely Bronte by Moon throw. The en-suite bathroom is entered by ducking under the beam and through the original sliding cowshed door opening up to a spoily cast iron bath fitted with Lefroy Brooks taps and a monsoon shower. Bedroom 4 ("Thursday") is a little smaller and more traditional, adorned with Chelsea Textiles fabrics, a beautiful Bronte by Moon throw, antique furniture and a king size bed. The traditional charm flows into the beautifully panelled bathroom which offers a cast iron bath fitted with Lefroy Brooks taps and a large monsoon shower. Bedroom 5 ("Friday") can be used as a twin or super king room. It is situated in the old piggery, again a little smaller than Beds 1-3, but well-equipped with all the mod-cons and comforts required for a country break. The bathroom has a more eccentric ambiance with the roll top bath decked in old railway sleepers similar to those used in the Piggery of old, and a wonderful copper wash basin. The kitchen diner has high beamy ceilings and a glass frontage allowing the sun to stream through, whilst adorned with low level copper lighting and glass pendant lighting to ensure a more subtle vibe in the evenings. The dining area holds a round farmhouse table suitable for 12 people with a couple of breakfast tables by the windows and a large smart TV. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with a large range cooker, microwave, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, 2 fridges, mini freezer, bluetooth beatbox, selection of fine bone china, plenty of wine glasses and tumblers, and all the mod cons you could require. We provide a good supply of essentials (including Nespresso capsules) which will be at your disposal. The sitting room (refer to Bed 3) is furnished with 3 large comfortable sofas (one of which is a double sofa bed) topped with Volga linen scatter cushions, a coffee table, desk and a large smart TV. Outside there is a small grassed area front and back, a large teak table and chairs furnished with nickel lanterns, and a BBQ (please bring charcoal). To the exterior of the Cowsheds, we are growing a small orchard and you may well see our sheep and chickens roaming free.

We are close to the Roman cities of both Bath and Cirencester and within easy reach of the pretty Cotswold towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury and in the other direction the Wiltshire market town of Marlborough. Malmesbury; The current Abbey building dates back to the 12th century and is built on a site of worship used from the 7th century and beside it is Abbey House and Gardens, which has featured on many TV programmes, this truly spectacular 5 acre garden in the centre of Medieval Malmesbury and straddling the River Avon has brought praise from around the world. Tetbury; Cotswold market town made rich by the wool trade in the 16th and 17th centuries. Today it is well known for its upmarket shopping – antiques, vintage & interiors, exclusive boutiques & HRH Prince of Wales’ Highgrove shop. Westonbirt: The famous and newly upgraded Arboretum is within half an hour, ideal for entertaining children with a Gruffalo trail and playground. Avebury: Arguably better than the other more famous Wiltshire stone henge and certainly larger and allowing for much closer access. Nearby are also the other pre-historic sites of West Kennet long barrow and Silbury Hill, as well as Avebury Manor and some lovely walks upto and along the Ridgeway – Britain’s oldest road. Lacock; owned by the National Trust, Lacock includes the famous Abbey and Fox Talbot museum. Castle Combe; has been called the prettiest village in England and understandably has featured in many films including War Horse and just up the hill is the famous racing circuit of the same name Horses; If pedigrees rather than petrol are more your thing then check what's on at Bath and Cheltenham race courses which host events year round including the famous Cheltenham Festival in March. In May the world’s premiere 3 day event Badminton Horse Trials is also close by. Houses & Estates: The stately homes of Bowood, Dryham Park and Chavenage are all under 30 mins away and Longleat is under an hour. Bowood and Longleat make for wonderful family days out with Longleat's famous safari park and maze and Bowood's adventure playground and 18 hole golf course. HRH Prince of Wales’ unique garden at Highgrove is well worth a visit (booking required well in advance).
