"A lovely cottage with history and character. As mentioned in the listings it would not be suitable for someone very tall or with difficulties. Facilities are excellent everything you need supplied. Parking is free but beware spaces can be all taken - it states 23 hours stay - no return for an hour, so be aware there is a car park attendant around! Cottage is within easy reach of the town and Abbey. A lovely stay"

Top Athelstan Museum Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms Coaching Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great old listed building, parking is a bit of a squeeze but doable and the staff were friendly"

The Leat at Wynyard Mill - Malmesbury, Cotswolds

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second stay at The Leat. It was yet again another outstanding holiday experience. I’ll gladly stay here instead of a hotel. The entire place was spotless upon arrival. The one thing I enjoy most about The Leat is going up to the top floor, opening all the windows, and listening to the water fowl in the river across the street. Nearly everything you’ll need on holiday is within walking distance. There are grocery stores just a short drive away. There are dozens of historical sites and National Trust locations within a short driving distance."

Eilmers Cottage - Beautiful 4BD in Malmesbury

10/10 Excellent

"Great home for our group! We came here for a wedding and loved the quaint town and home."

Cosy Cotswold cottage a short walk from cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and well situated. For such a historic property I would have expected it to be mouldy or drafty or full of spiders as I have experienced before but none of that applied. Everything worked well. The one thing that was frustrating at times was the dog next door that barked (but not.at night thankfully). Other than that, perfect. Easy to get anywhere in Malmesbury on foot. Also great instructions from hosts prior to arrival and in the house. Appreciated the sign with the history of the property."

The Horse & Groom Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay while visiting the Cotswolds. Room was spacious and clean and food in the hotel was excellent. I would definitely recommend."
