If you want to get away from it all, The Old Stables at Bradley's Farm is your perfect bolthole. Set in a former 19th-century stable yard and at the end of a long, private farm lane, the cottage enjoys open views of the rolling hills in the distance. Stay here and you'll be able to explore a secluded walking route that dates back to medieval times, as well as a private Mediterranean style botanical garden and arboretum. Both of which are only available to guests and their hosts who live nearby on the farm and 17 acre estate.
The cottage has been recently converted and contains contemporary fixtures and fittings, influenced by Scandinavian style. The vaulted ceiling of the large living and dining area provides the perfect back for for some cosy evenings after a day spent exploring the countryside or nearby gems like Bradford on Avon. Little thoughtful touches, such as the USB sockets in the bedroom or the original rustic tiles throughout make the cottage a delightful place to escape from the hustle and bustle.
