Great FARM HOUSE in a very nice village

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westfield Farmhouse Albourne and enjoyed being a part of the village for a week, particulary over the Christmas period. Both Justin and Louise were very friendly and helpful hosts. The village had 2 great pubs, an excellent convenience store and Marlborough was a great town nearby. Thank you for our stay

Great place to stay.

Wonderful place to meet up - we had a special friends reunion mid week break. Everything as described, beautifully decorated, tasteful but homely. Well equipped kitchen and cosy sitting room with dining table. Lovely to be able to light the wood burner after a days walking. Nice to bump into the host and hear all about the property’s history. Would highly recommend for a relaxing break.

Rest & Relax!

A beautiful property, equipped with everything we needed. Very comfortable beds with quality bed linen. Kitchen has everything you could want! Made good use of the log burner so very cosy in the living room. Lovely private gardens and short walk into the village to shops/pubs. Welcome pack was gratefully received!! Many thanks Justin & Louise, you have a really lovely property which we thoroughly enjoyed staying at.

Senior girls stay

We were 4 ladies on a weekend away, there was more than enough room. the cottage was much larger than we expected and there was ample room for 6. I would describe this cottage as robust and not precious, where you don't have to worry constantly about the home or its contents, perfect for smaller children. There was lots in the kitchen, everything we needed, although there is no freezer other than an ice box. The bedrooms were large and warm. You can walk into the village and find a pub with very good food and a grocery shop plus a takeaway. Everything was smooth and no issues. A lovely large traditional farmhouse cottage.

as perfect as it gets

We loved it! The house itself, the way Justin and Louise mixed the modern and the traditional, the huge amount of books and games, the comfy upholstery (though I personally would add a bunch more cushions), the lovely blankets, the sheer abundance of loos (I kid you not), the way no room on the second floor is at the same level and the lovely art and deco touches - it really is outstanding! Thank you for bringing this jewel of a house to life and opening it up for holidaymakers. It was just awesome.

Fantastic house all round

This house is beautiful and feels like a home from home. The village is gorgeous, and is a perfect base to explore the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire. We loved sitting in the garden with the log burner at night. A perfect house :)

Lovely home away from home

The house was exactly as advertised with the wonderful charm of living in an English village home but with all modern comforts. Everyone was thankful for the wifi and being able to do laundry was very helpful. My son who runs college cross country loved finding different 7-9 mile runs every evening and came home delighted with the views. We all enjoyed the closeness to the coop and the pub. It was a great to be able to have breakfast each morning and set off on each day's journey knowing we were coming back to an inviting home and a comfortable bed. We have had nothing but great memories and would definite stay at your lovely home again. Thank you so much the O'Keefes

Quirky Farmhouse

Several problems were insurmountable, and we took most of the week to learn how to live with other foibles. The owner said "It is what it is", and we enjoyed the location if not the property.

Gorgeous Family Friendly Home

The home is well appointed and comfortable. It was easy to settle in and the beds and bedding were divine. We stayed for three nights and wished we had booked longer. Waking to birdsong was lovely and the kids enjoyed the large yard. Cooking was a dream in the lovely kitchen, but there are two fabulous pubs within an easy walk. The post office cafe was great and both the deli and the co-op provide shopping. Walking the church grounds at sunset is a must.

Loved the house and the village.

The property is just as listed. We arrived to soft music playing from one of the many Alexa devices and coffee for the Nespresso, eggs, bread, milk and a bottle of wine chilling in the refrigerator. Lovely. The house is absolutely perfect with a fabulous country kitchen and large sitting room with dining table for six. The fireplace supplied ambience and warmth on chilly evenings. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spot on. The village is a delight. A short walk to both pub and Cafe/deli/gourmet shop with all necessities, but should more be required a Co-op store is s short walk away. The pub makes it easy to feel like a local in short order. We had three meals there and the food was excellent. Justin was very quick to respond to any question and most helpful; a pleasure to deal with. Would we return? Absolutely. Would we recommend to our friends? Without hesitation.. Many thanks Justin.

Fabulous Farmhouse

The farmhouse was fabulous for a family reunion of five adults! The whole property is wonderful, looks to be newly decorated with great bedrooms and bathrooms. The lounge was amazing, with a great fireplace that we easily lit with the plentiful wood stored outside. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very large so plenty of space for five adults to move around - often tough with the pretty but small cottages in the area. We had a great meal at the local pub, and found all the food essentials we needed in the local co-op. The area is very pretty and there is plenty to keep you occupied. I would definitely recommend the property to others and would stay here again for sure!

Amazing Farmhouse

The property was incredible. The farmhouse was lovingly remodeled with beautiful redone flooring, updated facilities and an amazing kitchen and living room. The bedrooms and bathrooms were incredible. The home is a very short walk to the town center and pub, where the food and hospitality were first class. We highly recommend this property.

Lovely character property

We had a lovely week stay at Westfield Farmhouse. The house itself is very pretty, the rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated and we found it to be cool when returning from our excursions during the heatwave. The property is in a great location to explore far and wide. We found it easy to go up to Oxford and down to Southampton (with everything in between!) The village is lovely for a wander, with The Crown being our pub of choice. Justin and family have been excellent hosts, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by justin wright

Hi, my name is Justin, I live with my wife Louise and children just a short distance away in Marlborough. I grew up in Westfield Farmhouse and have done a lot of the renovations. I love the house and the area and am very often working in the village.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the charm and character of this antique building with all its quirky features.
Open up the large gothic doors and enter the attractive Victorian hall. One side of the hall is the cosy country kitchen with wood burning stove and farmhouse kitchen table for fun nights sitting with friends. By contrast, a large elegant Victorian sitting room is opposite also with a wood burning stove with the option for more formal dining. You may hear water bubbling from a seasonal spring that runs though the cellar. There are doors that lead out to the sunny garden & patio area from the sitting room where there is plenty of space to enjoy barbecues and evening drinks.
There is a family bathroom half way up the stairs.
The large master bedroom has a king size bed and ensuite, the second bedroom also has an en suite with two single beds and there is an option to have a third single bed in there.
The third smaller room has a queen size bed with wash basin.
A south facing garden has a patio and large lawned area and there is plenty of parking for 4 cars.

We are currently refurbishing the property and will publish the updated photographs as soon as we are able. Please do contact us for further information.
