“The farmhouse is a lovely property.”

Excellent parking, pretty outside area with plenty of seating. Set in a rural valley with lots of wildlife, Roe deer frequent visitors. Pleasant and helpful owner. Close to M4 junction 17 so very easy to get to places. The only negative we found was the cottage could do with a deep clean, saying which, the bedding and towels were immaculate. Excellent layout for family or friends holidaying together.

“An absolutely fabulous dwelling, spacious kitchen with Range, cosy living room with log burner.”

Garden an absolute delight to relax in with amazing countryside views. Great location for Bath and even Weston-Super-Mare not to mention Malmsbury that also has a great fish & chip shop. We love our stay here and can highly recommend it.

Sarah August 2024

“A lovely, spacious, well equipped cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location, yet with easy access to a number of interesting towns and attractions.”

The garden is also a great size, with nice furniture for relaxing or dining outside. The kitchen was particularly well equipped and really spacious. It was generally very clean but a few areas are ready for a bit more attention (eg shower floors need a more thorough clean, and headboard in main bedroom), and there was a broken toilet seat (which has been faulty for months according to guest book comments) and the bathroom door handle. Also only 8 clothes hangers for 6 people! However the caretaker responded quickly to some issues and queries we had, which was appreciated. We did feel that an info folder would have been handy and there was no welcome pack (eg bread/milk/biscuits) which is unusual nowadays, however we were given a dozen eggs the day after arrival which were lovely and much appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found the cottage and its location to be really good.

- Sarah, August 2024
Judith August 2024

“One or two little jobs need attending to but on the whole a lovely cottage and gardens, well equipped.”

Would recommend.

Colleen June 2024

“Beautiful location abound with wildlife and farm animals.”

Very comfortable cottage but needs tlc. Ovens were quite dirty and garden furniture were strewn around the patio after the days storm. This should have been checked before we arrived. The pictures on your site were not true anymore. Much vegetation had grown but the gardens were still very beautiful after the gardener had been to cut some of this back. Many customers, however, would book this cottage based on your pictures.

- Colleen, June 2024

Thank you Colleen for your feed back. It would seem your holiday was a tale of two halves. A damp chilly storm blowing a gale on arrival to a scorching heatwave come midweek. Good old British summertime! It’s nice to finally switch the heating off! You are right that the gardens have grown and established over the years as gardens and plants do. Do I feel the photos are no longer representative? Not at all. The gardens are and always have been beautiful. A gardener will know that a garden is never the same two years in a row. Plants grow, self seed and get divided and the charm is in seeing it change over the seasons and years. Our gardeners who are here 3 days a week are very good and passionate about their work and skill set, however this time of year things grow very quickly and need to be wrestled on a weekly basis to keep in control. I shall make note on the cleanliness of the oven. Besides a weekly wipe round the ovens across the farm are on a rotation for professional cleans that cannot be done during the few hours over a back to back change over. Property Owner
Julie June 2024

“Beautiful house with comfortable beds, great showers and everything we needed in kitchen for cooking.”

Lovely garden which is great for relaxing in whilst watching the birds. Maintenance required on the door handles and the loo seats and the loo in the utility room is very smelly. Lots to do in the area, would recommend Devizes and Bradford on Avon and the canal boat trip run from there.

- Julie, June 2024
Peter March 2024

“This is the first time we have ever stayed in a holiday cottage where there was no 'Cottage Information Folder'.”

There was no information on: recycling/rubbish dispisal; what to do with linen at the end of the stay; emergency contacts,owner, hospitals, doctors dentists etc. We had to hunt through various draws to find operating instructions for kitchen equipment, likewise for local information. This did not make us feel very welcome.

- Peter, March 2024

Hello Peter, thank you for taking the time to review the property. You found no positives to write in your summery of your stay. Is that true? You are right, across all our properties for the last 10 years we have avoided offering a 'Cottage Information Folder'. We find it slightly old fashioned, and we try to be a little different down here. We like to believe that the properties are straight forward. We are on site pottering around, enjoying natters with our guests and always happy to answer any questions. Therefore, we’re saddened to read you found your experience on our farm unwelcoming. Our contact number is provided automatically with the Key code information when final payment is made. NHS 111 is now the first port of call for any non-emergency medical requirements instead of contacting local surgeries who undoubtedly are overstretched 'in this day and age’. Opposite is the communal bin store that is clearly marked for what goes where. Our lovely guests often review their time in the guest book left on the coffee table that you also managed to leave comments. Here you have an abundance of personal experiences from our guests that recommend where to visit and places to eat etc (and places to avoid) instead of being reliant on our own opinion. Thats said, there is also a selection of local visitor attraction pamphlets located in the entrance hall along with a box containing manuals for the appliances for those that need a little more direction. The Farmhouse is a beautiful property with a lovely interior, lush wrap around gardens and positioned to capture farm life at its best with views of the Chickens ‘doing their thing’ and spotting wildlife from the comfort of the sofa. Whats not to love? Perhaps you should give us another go? Martin Property Owner
Louise November 2023

“Brilliant place to stay, so homely and lovely views.”

Quiet and clean Farm House. Everything you need for a cozy home from home. Nothing too much trouble for the owner and clear instructions for key collection and how to operate heating, Wi-Fi etc. Will definitely be returning. Genuinely couldn’t recommend highly enough.

- Louise, November 2023

Hi Louise, Wow, lovely review, thank you so much. You're very much welcome to return!! Property Owner
Trudi October 2023

“The proprty was warm, homely, well equipped and clean.”

Martin the owner was friendly and very helpful. As an egg farmer it was interesting to hear about his business and watch the happy hens leave the coup excitedly each morning. Thank you for our lovely organic free range eggs Martin. They poached beautifully. Would have liked a TV in the bedroom for those cosy lie ins but not essential. Loved the deep comfy sofas to relax in and there were lovely views from the windows. The dining table seated us all comfortably for our long post meal conversations.There were books and games which we didn't get to use but we needed more time here! Would love to return. It was well placed for lots of local attractions and easy to find. Parking was safe and right next to the cottage for anyone with mobility issues. There was no ev charger as advertised by skykes and I paid an extra £10 for this. I'm new to having an electric car and this was a stipulation to where we stayed . I think it was an error from skykes but Martin was very helpful in trying to resolve the issue for us. He couldn't have been more helpful.

- Trudi, October 2023

Hi Trudi. Many thanks for your review. It was lovely to have your extended family stay over the weekend to enjoy several belated birthdays on the farm. I’m glad you enjoyed the property and the all imported eggs!! I’m sorry with regards to to your disappointment reference EV car charging point. Although this property does not advertise itself as having a dedicated charging point, we carry the electric charging supplement across all our properties due to often seeing cables trailing through windows and doors of the properties to peoples cars charging them at our expense. There are a number of properties on the farm with dedicated EV charging points and these are advertised with the relevant symbol and included in the write up. That’s not to say in future we may add further EV points to additional properties in the future, but for now, regardless of how you charge your car, whether that be from an EV point on the wall, or trailing cables from a plug in the house out to the car, if it is at our expense, a supplement is applied. I believe Sykes have clarified this on their write up of the property and as a gesture of good will, even though you did charge your car on site, have refunded the supplement to you. Property Owner

The best accommodation we have stayed in for years the surrounding areas speak for themselves absolutely positively wonderful

- Raymond, September 2023

Hello Raymond. Great review - thank you so much. Property Owner
Sabina September 2023

“Everything was excellent one of the best holidays we ever had on the farm.”

Our hosts could not do enough for us. The house is beautiful and so is the garden. Excellent!!!!

- Sabina, September 2023

Thanks Sabrina. It was a pleasure having you on the farm this week. Look forward to seeing you all again. Martin Property Owner
Ann September 2023

“Lovely location, great watching the chickens and cows each day.”

Bungalow was very comfortable lovely fresh eggs for breakfast each day. Martin very quickly fixed the catch on the window that wouldn't shut. We all really enjoyed ourselves.

- Ann, September 2023

Hi Ann. Thanks for the review. Glad you had a nice holiday on the farm and enjoyed passing the time chicken and watching - easily done!! Hope to see you again. Martin Property Owner
James September 2023

“A stunning property in a delightful rural setting, yet only 10 minutes away from a motorway (M4) junction.”

Great place to relax and also a well placed location for touring Wiltshire and the Cotswolds. We had a great week there.

- James, September 2023

Thanks Nigel. Seems liked you summed it up perfectly for those tempted to book! Look forward to hosting you all again soon hopefully. Martin Property Owner

Michael July 2023

“Nfestation of flies,problems with water heater,having to stand on bed to turn on and off.”

No decent communication owner very condescending to the point of being rude.No personal apology forthcoming even after upsetting our daughter.Lovely property but spoiled by owners inability to interact positively to customer feedback.

- Michael, July 2023
Sylvia June 2023

“A very good location for many Cotswold attractions with good road links.”

Margaret May 2023

“Not a thing we would change.”

Wish I could move it home to live in here! Great location too for day trips. Loved the surrounding pastures and the cows and bulls. Gardens were just lovely. One other thing, the house had excellent wifi for those of us needing to check in with the outside world while on vacation.

- Margaret, May 2023

Hi Margaret. What a lovely review. Sounds like you had a wonderful time in the cottage and made to most of your time by visting local attractions. Property Owner

Rebecca April 2023

“We had a very enjoyable stay.”

The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed. Beds very comfortable, showers hot and good water pressure. Loved the wood burning stove for cool April evenings. A great location to see lots of lovely places and do interesting things. 3 generations all had a lovely time.

- Rebecca, April 2023

Thanks Rebecca for the lovely review. I’m glad you all had a lovely time and got to explore the local area. Many thanks. Martin Property Owner
Michelle January 2023

“Amazing beautiful property and I'm a hard one to please.”

I was booking the stay for both myself, hubby, my friend and her husband. I was worried when I made the booking, as my friend's hubby is very fussy on where he stays. Once we walked through the front door I knew I had made the right choice and the weekend was fantastic. I would highly recommend a stay at this farm house, as you won't be disappointed.

- Michelle, January 2023

Sounds like praise indeed if we managed to impress the most discerning of guests in your party. Hopefully we will meet again? Martin Property Owner
Leanne January 2023

“This is the 2nd time we've booked this property.”

The view is lovely, and the cottage comfortable. Very convenient for Swindon outlets, and lovely pubs close by.

- Leanne, January 2023

Many thanks Leanne. Hopefully you'll manage a hat-trick? Martin Property Owner
Richard December 2022

“Despite staying at the Farm House on one of the coldest weeks of the year, we found the cottage warm and comfortable.”

Pleasant surroundings and a good base for exploring nearby attractions.

- Richard, December 2022

Thank you, Richard for the review. It was indeed a chilly week so glad you found the property a nice warm base for the week. Hope to see you again, Martin Property Owner
Margaret October 2022

“The cottage was beautiful and laid out so well.”

Peaceful and quiet , wouldnt think there were chickens! Close to all amenities you need. Lovely holiday had by all.

- Margaret, October 2022

Thanks Margaret. Glad you enjoyed the property. I agree that the layout works really well for mulitble couples for multigenerational family holidays. Glad the girls didnt keep you awake in the field opposite. See you again hopefully. Martin Property Owner
Maureen September 2022

“The Farmhouse at Nables farm is wonderful, every facility set in beautiful countryside.”

Peace and tranquility. Martin is a super host and can't do enough to make your stay a success.

- Maureen, September 2022

Thank you Maureen. I thought I felt my ears burning and then I read this review. On a more serious note, Many thanks for the review. Glad you liked the cottahe and hope to see you again. Martin Property Owner
Penelope September 2022

“A beautiful cottage with everything we could wish for.”

Martin came soon after we arrived to welcome us, it was like meeting an old friend as this was our third stay. We had a problem with the television during the week and Martin came round and sorted it within 20 minutes of my phone call. The lovely, fresh eggs from the farm were delicious and greatly appreciated. Thank you Martin, we will be back soon.

- Penelope, September 2022

It is a real joy to welcome you back time after time. Indeed, it is like welcoming (a not so old) friend back. Looking forward to 2023. Martin Property Owner
Nigel August 2022

“A comfortable cottage in a pleasant location, but apart from an appreciated welcome gift of fresh eggs, the provision of basic items, such as bin liners and dishwasher tablets was significantly lacking.”

Local information on 'where to go' was minimal with a complete absence of recommendations for places to visit and to eat out. We experienced difficulties in securing some windows and doors and in the twin-bed room a control unit was hanging from the ceiling which glowed significantly in the dark. The quality of some items e.g. cutlery was also poor.

- Nigel, August 2022

Hello Nigel, many thanks for taking time out to review your stay. I am pleased to read that you found the cottage comfortable and in a pleasant location. The issue experienced with securing the property is alarming and would have been beneficial if you made contact at the time as appose to leaving the property unsecured when you departed. Thankfully the cleaners discovered this when locking the property at the end of cleaning, contacted me and all was fixed. In regard to your other points for possible future guests who may be reading - we leave as standard, including in this case, bin bags in all bins and a spare for each under the sink along with a handful of dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, dishcloth and hand soap at each sink. We like to do it this way as appose to leaving in bulk and perhaps missing opportunities to replenish. We are sorry if you felt on this occasion we didn't leave enough. Cutlery and utensils are mid-range and as is the nature with such things in serviced accommodation gets replaced regularly. We could go more expensive or cheaper however we feel we have the balance right. We always leave the guest book centre on the coffee table which is a great read for guests arriving. It is full of reviews from happy guests who have stayed over the past 5 years - all leaving their tips and recommendations for where to visit and where to eat. Hundreds of reviews are far more beneficial than our opinion which may not be to everyone’s taste. Everything is subjective. That said, we are on the farm every day working and watering the plants etc and love a chit chat if given the opportunity. If you are holidaying in the area again please do look us up again. Many thanks, Martin Property Owner
Teresa July 2022

“One of the most beautiful places we have stayed from start to finish and we have stayed in many lovely people on hand to look after us and the house and views were amazing from morning till the most wonderful sunset at night a perfect get away for the family with all the places to visit near by or to just relax in the sunning house thank you again Teresa ‘pete’rob’ria’and the grandchildren dolly & Clark .”

- Teresa, July 2022

Sometimes familes stick in the mind for all the right reasons and your family is one of them! We loved having you stay and so pleased you had a lovely family holiday with us even with the scortching weather. I already looking forward to your return visit that you promised. Martin Property Owner
Roderick Robert July 2022

“What a superb cottage comfortable clean felt very much at home .”

Loved staying on the farm with the animals lovely eggs they left for us to .The sunset was amazing watching it from our patio .The location is great you can visit a lot of nice places within half an hour .

- Roderick Robert, July 2022

Hi Roderick. What a great review. I am glad you like the property as much as we do. The sunsets truely are magical from the farm. Hope to see you again, Martin Property Owner
Linda April 2022

“Spacious, comfortable & well decorated/furnished bungalow.”

Pretty & well maintained garden. Lovely view over fields. Courtyard seating area not as photos depicted on website, it’s very neglected. The basics were clean, but generally needs a deep clean & attention to detail. Had an issue with the water pressure in the hot water tank, but fixed promptly. A good base, conveniently situated to explore the local area.

- Linda, April 2022

Linda, many thanks for your review. We’re pleased that you found the property spacious, comfortable and well furnished and that you found the garden pretty and well looked after. I agree with you that the courtyard garden in mid April does not depict the photos of the internet that were taken in mid summer. Sadly a few more weeks are needed for the charm to re-emerge. Each year we wait in anticipation for the wisteria to wake for the spectacular cascade of purple flowers and foliage that covers the pergola walkway and the peonies that line the edges. For now at least we are left to enjoy what few daffodils are still flowering, the tulips that are currently taking the staring role and watching the alliums begin to skyrocket before flowering along with the shrubs emerging from winter now that spring has truly arrived. A true gardener can enjoy the garden at all times of year watching the cycle of the plants before the grand finale in the height of summer - At which point throwing the outdoor cushions onto the garden furniture and you’re in an oasis of calm in a secret garden in the heart of the farmyard. We’re also pleased you found the basics clean and tidy. The house is blocked off for a week in mid May for redecoration, general maintenance and a deep clean of areas that aren’t always possible on the short amount of time allocated between guests. Should you be holidaying in the area again please do not hesitate in considering us. Martin Property Owner
Katrina March 2022

“Great place , well equipped, and beautiful surroundings .”

Only downfall was it would of been nice to have some milk in the fridge but eggs very much appreciated.

- Katrina, March 2022

Hello Katrina, Many thanks for your review. So pleased you enjoyed the property and its surroundings. Sorry about the milk - as farmers we only tolerate putting in full fat creamy milk . We learnt in the past that this isnt to everyones 'cup of tea' (excuse the pun) and is often a waste. However here at nables we specilise in Organic free range eggs so we're glad our girls compensated by laying you some delicious eggs that are available aplenty. We hope to see you again some time if your holidaying in the area. Martin Property Owner
Maria March 2022

“Very well equipped and lovely accommodation.”

Easily space for six to spend time comfortably together. The attention to detail and high spec finish are commended. Lots of space both inside and out. Beautiful gardens surrounding the property. Martin is a friendly and welcoming host. (Thank you for the delicious eggs!). If you need a tranquil escape in a pretty part of the country this is perfect.

- Maria, March 2022

Hi Maria. Many thanks for your review. So glad you enjoyed the house and thank you for spreading the word. Hope to see you again sometime. Martin Property Owner
Matthew January 2022

“Superb stay - would definitely come back again to stay.”

Martin is a fantastic host and the farm is beautiful.

- Matthew, January 2022

Many thanks for your review. I have an inkling we will be seeing each other again. Property Owner
Kelly December 2021

“Fantastic property, very clean and full of well thought out elements.”

Only issue want to point out is with the television reception - only had 4 channels, all BBC. When there is a tv addict in the party it’s a problem. Aside from that would definitely recommend and will return.

- Kelly, December 2021

Hello Kelly. Many thanks for your review and feedback. No idea where the extra Channels went but we’ve re tuned the tv and if by magic they’ve reappeared again. Really pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to meet again some time. Martin Property Owner
John December 2021

“This is the best property we have ever been to, it was very clean and so comfortable ,we mentioned a problem with the smell in one of the toilets and Martin visited us and sure enough the smell eventually went ,the views were amazing ,my family had the most wonderful Xmas there ,I would highly recommend it .”

- John, December 2021

Hello John, Many thanks for your review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your time with us over Christmas which we always find special. Thank you for seeing past the joys of old plumbing, off grid in the countryside. Martin Property Owner
Alison November 2021

“Absolutely top place to stay.”

Will return for sure. Excellent facilities m, all the comforts of home, great communication with sykes and owner of property. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you for a memorable stay.

- Alison, November 2021

Thank you Alison for your lovely review. It was wonderful having you stay and hope to meet again. Property Owner
Sally November 2021

“What a wonderful find!”

More spacious than it looks in the photos, well appointed with comfy beds and high end linens. Great kitchen for the cooks among us. So many places to visit close by and further afield. The autumn colours in the garden were beautiful, with the statues peeping out between the morning mist and colourful leaves. Martin sorted out our minor technological problem in no time and happy to talk about the farm. And those eggs were delicious. Definitely recommend

- Sally, November 2021

Hi sally. Thank you for the review. I’m glad you enjoyed the house and gardens in all its autumnal splendour. Im as surprised as you are that I fixed the Ariel in the roof - just don’t ask me how as I haven’t the foggiest. ;-) hopefully meet you again if you feel like a return visit. Thanks again, Martin Property Owner
Laura November 2021

“Absolutely loved the place and it was beautiful and spacious, close to lots of fun days out and surrounded by really beautiful scenery.”

Enjoyed cosying up in front of the fire each night and waking up to see all the cows and chickens in the fields next to us. The only thing that could have been improved on was the overall cleanliness, ie there was a fair bit of dust in the bath and around the beds/windows.

- Laura, November 2021
Deborah October 2021

“We have just had the most wonderful stay at this amazing Farmhouse .”

We stayed for a week and wished it was longer. From the welcome of tea,coffee milk and the best eggs ever, we knew we had made the right choice. It was spotlessly clean and 5 star throughout .Martin the owner was so nice and we are happy he has such luxury accommodation that we are able to visit. Lovely local farm shops around and wonderful Castle Combe is minutes away. If you want peace and quiet and comfortable, clean accommodation, this is it. The wrap around garden and it's seating and fixtures were a pleasure . Other properties are on site so fantastic if your with a big family. I'm sorry, but the secret is out, however you should share the best of things shouldn't you?? We will absolutely be back again and again.

- Deborah, October 2021

Hello Debbie. What a joy it was to host you and your family. The real reason for why we love opening the gates and allowing people to stay on the farm. I look forward to seeing you again in February and again later on in the year in October. Martin. Property Owner
John October 2021

“A lovely spacious property in very pleasant location, spoiled by poor cleaning.”

(thick matted dust and other occupants 'debris' under beds, furniture and chair cushion!) Neglected and overgrown courtyard and garden - not as shown on website. Noisy fan in roof space above single bedroom and poor, intermittent water supply to shower and bath. Very damp smell in cloakroom. No bin bags in rubbish bins Owner very pleasant and generous.

- John, October 2021

Hello John. Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased you enjoyed your holiday and the property however I am disappointed in your comments regarding cleanliness and the garden. We try our upmost to clean the property each time to a high standard so it saddens me to read that you found debris and dust when moving furniture away from walls and moving heavy bed frames to check. Likewise our gardener was saddened to read your comments on the gardens which he takes great pride in. You are right however that the gardens look nothing like the photos as you stayed at the end of autumn when the photos on the website were taken in full bloom in early summer. The garden takes on a charm on its own in autumn with leaves turning and falling, perennials dying back and the tiredness of a full and long summer season of growing coming to an end. Cutting back the garden is done in early spring before the garden comes back to life again and not in late autumn when you can damage or destroy the plants and shrubs. That said the lawns are still being mowed when the weather permits and fallen leaves swept. I am sorry there were no bin bags on arrival however this was rectified within half an hour if you arriving. And lastly the noise you mention is the hot water tank that sits above the bathroom next to the twin bedroom. For any light sleepers this can be placed on a timer. I hope the above goes some way to alleviate your concerns and should you be holidaying in the area again then we’d be more than happy to host you again. Kind regards Martin. Property Owner
Sandra August 2021

“Absolutely fantastic cottage.”

The photos don't do it justice! Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

Lyn May 2021

“Wow! What a stunning place - so relaxing.”

Martin was an excellent host (thank you) and we just had a perfect stay. The area is beautiful with so many places to visit and the farmhouse, both inside and out, was superbly looked after with high quality fittings, plenty of space and gorgeous gardens to relax in. We didn’t want to leave!

- Lyn, May 2021
Jacqueline May 2021

“The cottage was delightful in a fantastic setting The owner Martin was extremely helpful and always available when we needed assistance A great host.”

Beds were very comfortable which is a very important thing on holiday and the bungalow was well equipped and very clean The area around Upper Seagry was beautiful with many places to visit within a short distance Especially delightful was Bradford on Avon and Castle Coombe being 2 places we would recommend to visit. The fresh organic eggs that Martin gave us tasted fantastic and it was great to see the chickens and learn about organic egg production If we are down that way again we would certainly stay there again and wish we could have stayed another week!

- Jacqueline, May 2021
A May 2021

“The bungalow was in an idyllic location on the farm, overlooking the fields with views of cattle roaming and free range chickens in abundance.”

We loved watching them from the living room and kitchen. The accommodation itself was beautiful, with three good sized bedrooms, with very comfy beds, and the bathrooms were just great. The living area and kitchen were all spacious and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The décor and furnishings were also lovely. The spacious garden and terrace were an additional bonus, and we enjoyed sitting out in the garden for a few hours each day. The only slight negative comment that I have, is the fact that the ovens on the range cooker could have done with a good clean. They were covered in splashes of something that looked like something had exploded in the oven. It was still perfectly usable though, could just do with a good clean. All in all, it was a home from home and would definitely stay again, we had a lovely time in this beautiful bungalow and its surroundings.

Highly recommended!

- Wendy, August 2020
Karen July 2020

“Beautiful location and accommodation.”

Well equipped and nicely furnished with everything you need for a relaxing break. Ideally located and close to lots of places to visit. Martín, owner, very helpful with nothing being too much trouble and provides you with fresh organic eggs from the farm which were divine. Lots of outdoor space for kids to run about and play games. Hot tub would just be the icing on the cake! Would definitely recommend.

- Karen, July 2020
Maria February 2020

“The cottage was perfect.”

Great location for plenty of days our. Fantastic owner, Martin was always on hand to help with any minor questions/queries. Children loved th open space and the look around the chicken sheds. Amazing views and a great family stay.

“Our second stay was most enjoyable A warm and cosy property as we were there in late November with freezing weather outside.”

Martin is a very friendly and helpful host. 3 dozen fresh organic eggs on arrival and a couple of bags of logs for the fire. 30 minutes to Bath, were my daughter lives, and some very good local pubs, check out the Langley Tap for Sunday lunch.

Amy November 2019

“The bungalow was beautiful and the facilities were to a very high specification.”

Tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh eggs were a lovely surprise upon check in to the property. Everything ran perfectly, Martin was a great host coming over to meet us and check we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful weekend and would definitely return.

“Property is absolutely perfect and kitted out to a very high specification.”

Situated in a perfect location that is a maximum of around 30 minutes to all major places and attractions! Highly recommend this property and owner is a top bloke, even let us stay later to watch the rugby World Cup semi final!!

Claire October 2019

“Very comfortable, spacious accommodation, with quality fittings - relaxing break.”

A lot of wildlife to watch and the hens were amusing too. Peaceful countryside but not the sole property at this location, however this did not affect us as there is plenty of space between properties and ours had its own private seating areas.

“This cottage was in a great location and perfect for us with two Mothers in their eighties one of which is not very mobile and she was able to really enjoy the cottage.”

Martin very good and welcoming. Enjoyed watching the chickens. Lots of things to do in the locality.

- Peter, August 2019
Elaine August 2019

“Fabulous bungalow situated in the countryside with farm animals to see out of every window.”

Close to main road links but far enough away to enjoy the countryside views and calmness. The bungalow is very well equipped and all you could need for a relaxing stay away from home. Plenty of far reaching countryside walks and a pleasant village pub within walking distance too. The proprietor is there to greet you and he is very helpful. We were also fortunate enough to enjoy fresh eggs laid by the chickens out of the front door everyday. Thoroughly recommend this holiday home and it is central to some lovely places to visit in the area ...Bath and the Cotswolds. Go on! Give it a go

- Elaine, August 2019
Gillian August 2019

“The Farm house was amazing, it has everything you could possibly want and the gardens were beautiful, we had such a lovely relaxing week.”

It's a good location for days out, very central. Martin was lovely and he kindly let us go over with him to pick eggs from his chicken barns. It was great fun to watch the free range chickens being let out every morning as well. We were sorry when our week was up and would love to return next year.

Vyvyan April 2019

“Lovely place to stay, meeting up and sharing with our family.”

Spacious and very well equipped inside and out. The best bit – sitting up in bed in the master bedroom and watching the wildlife, though we only saw a deer once. Gardens mature but plenty of seasonal pots of tulips around to enjoy too. Sitting in the garden just after arriving and enjoying the sun was very special.

- Vyvyan, April 2019
Steve April 2019

“The property was one of the very best we have ever stayed in - spacious, comfortable and in idyllic, peaceful surroundings.”

The interior design and furnishings are of a high standard; the kitchen is well equipped and the appliances are modern and in good working order. The owner Martin is extremely friendly and helpful.

Alan December 2018

“The Farmhouse on Nables Farm at Upper Seagry is superb and every effort had been made to make our Christmas there as festive as possible.”

A full Xmas tree and laid out Xmas table greeted us when we arrived - we enjoyed the chocolates in the crackers! The cottage was superbly equipped and we were able to enjoy our Christmas to the full - even the weather was kind. Thank you Martin & Andrew. If we can ever come back again we will.

Anne September 2018

“The Farmhouse more than exceeded our expectations.”

Every detail had been considered. We noted that comments from previous holiday meters had been acted on eg chair in main bedroom, outdoor seating. It was reassuring to be visited by the owners and given details of local facilities. The chickens were an added bonus watching them come out in the morning and in at dusk.

- Anne, September 2018
Leah September 2018

“The owners Martyn and Andrew were very welcoming and accommodating and the little touch of providing fresh free range organic eggs from their lovely hens was most generous.”

They had decorated and furnished the cottage to a very high standard, a home from home feeling and a very comfortable stay. The grounds are lovely also with a manicured garden with wild flowers!Definitely recommend!

- Leah, September 2018
Janie June 2018

“A superb farm house cottage, really comfortable and well equipped.”

Lovely , quiet location but really easy access for days out to Bath, Lacock etc. Luckily for us the sun shone all week so we really enjoyed relaxing on the comfortable garden furniture after days out. Would highly recommend the Volunteer Inn nearby - great food and friendly staff.

- Janie, June 2018
Allan April 2018

“The cottage was very warm, clean and comfortable and the owner, Martin, was extremely friendly and helpful.”

“Beautiful cottage; the standard of decoration and facilities were excellent and the garden was stunning.”

It is well managed by a friendly and engaging owner who made us very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the free range chickens from the well placed seating in our garden.

- Katherine, August 2017
Steven June 2017

“The Farm House at Nables Farm is a beautiful house in a beautiful location.”

It's also ideally located for tourists interested in visiting historic spots in southwestern England and southern Wales. We highly recommend it.

- Steven, June 2017
Nicholas June 2017

“Well maintained property set within a beautiful garden to relax in.”

Numerous planted tubs, baskets, flower beds, shrubs and trees. Your own private estate which is a credit to the gardener who has brought it back to life. Highlights of the property has to be the main bathroom which you would expect to be seen in the penthouse of a five star hotel. The eat-in kitchen with its large induction range cooker will please budding chefs. The farm is well maintained. Don't think muddy yard and barns but well maintained free range chicken sheds at a distance (suppliers to Able & Cole) with cattle and goats in the fenced surrounding fields. Great location for visiting somewhere new everyday. Negatives, numerous flies around in June and the TV signal fades away at times due to the valley location. We would visit again.

- Nicholas, June 2017
Mandee April 2017

“We were on holiday with my quite elderly parents.”

Everything is on one level and the bathrooms are amazing! The farm is an organic farm. I have honestly never seen such a clean farm in my life before! The chickens look like they have stepped our if a beauty parlour. We were welcomed by Martyn, one of the owners and he couldn't have made us feel more welcome. 'X'factor or 'Wow' factor, whatever term you use this property has it! Highly recommend.

- Mandee, April 2017
Nigel March 2017

“A most beautifully designed and appointed holiday cottage.”

Light, modern and spacious. The highest quality of finish in every respect. Beautifully furnished and the most luxurious bathrooms. Very pretty garden and wonderful views. A very special place and a wonderful base for a week of day trips and sightseeing to the southern Cotswolds, Bath and Bristol. The Farm House is perfectly located - just a few minutes from the M4 motorway junction, yet nestled in a sheltered valley and so there's no sign nor sound of it. Highly recommended for a wonderfully relaxing and special stay.

- Nigel, March 2017
Allen February 2017

“This property is best described in terms of superlatives.”

Every aspect of the property and its management is worthy of high praise. Take the ‘welcome pack’ where it is quite common for owners to provide the basic staples on arrival. Here it is taken to a new level with free range eggs from a local farm – delicious and astonishingly fresh and Florentine luxury dark chocolate biscuits. The property is light and airy, not surprisingly, with a total of four sets of French doors. The house is tastefully decorated in the contemporary style and all of the equipment within is the very latest and of a high specification. The massive kitchen provides an informal hub as well as top level practical equipment in terms of induction hob range cooker, mega American style fridge freezer, dishwasher and a host of quality minor appliances. Cookware is by Raymond Blanc and crockery by Denby. To buttress the kitchen is a utility/boot room with washer and tumbler drier and cloakroom WC and yet more cupboards. The sitting room is comfortable and large but cosy with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove to complement the efficient central heating. Both bathrooms have the walk in step free shower wet-room well executed with digital shower controls and underfloor heating. All three bedrooms are comfortable and spacious doubles and the configuration means that every bedroom either has its own WC and basin or is next to one. The extensive gardens, which almost surround the property, should more properly be termed grounds and even here there are two raised beds with herbs growing in them. There is a sheltered sitting area with suitable furniture in the formal garden area. There is ample parking for three vehicles right outside the bungalow.
