About this property

Newly renovated traditional Cotswold house with hot tub and sauna

Old Malt House is located in the heart of Willersey, just two miles from the centre of Broadway and conveniently located behind the village pub. The renovations were completed early 2023 and it is fitted out with all the modern conveniences you would expect from a luxury family home plus some fantastic extras such as a hot tub, sauna and boules / pétanque court. Due to the pattern of our rentals we can often allow earlier arrival and later departures, enabling more time to enjoy our beautiful house. Please enquire when booking and these are decided on an individual basis.

On the ground floor there is the kitchen with a large central island and seating on stools for 5 people. The kitchen spills out onto a patio with a bistro table seating 6. The kitchen has everything you would expect including two ovens, a microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, large French Fridge freezer with filtered water and ice. There are Sonos speakers too and a Sonos Roam for use outside (at a sensible sound level of course).

Next to the kitchen there is a large sitting room with two large sofas, open fire and a 55" smart TV and Sonos surround sound system.

The dining room is panelled and has a dual aspect out onto the street. There is also an open fire. The dining table comfortably seats 10 and also has its own separate Sonos speaker.

Adjacent to the dining room is a study with an iMac for guest use and wireless printer as well as a casual chair for reading. The cocktail cabinet is within this room and will have various spirits for your use. There is a utility room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Also downstairs is the main guest bedroom (after the master). This is a king size bedroom with its own ensuite with walk in wet-room shower, sink and loo. There is also a wall mounted 42" TV and ample storage space. This room has direct access to outside.

Upstairs the master bedroom has a super king bed and its own en-suite with bath and walk in wet-room shower as well as a double sink. The bedroom itself has a 42" TV and beautiful views down the garden and down the road.

The third guest room has a beautifully upholstered king size bed and shares a bathroom with bedroom 5. The bathroom has a walk in shower, sink and loo. Bedroom 5, on the other side of the Jack and Jill bathroom has a sofa bed with a wall mounted 42" TV (ideal for kids or adults alike to escape the main sitting room if they wish to watch something different). The sofa bed comfortably sleeps one adult or two children. Finally the last bedroom has a brass king size bed and an en-suite with large shower, loo and sink.

The garden is where the fun is. There is a 5 person hot tub and a sauna as well surrounded by a gently trickling water feature. The sauna is a high speed warm up and is ready to use in just 20 minutes. There is a dartboard on the rear of the garage doors. On the lower patio there are two sun beds should you be fortunate with the weather.

As you head to the upper garden area there is a large outdoor seating area with a tilt roof which creates a completely waterproof seating area or partially shaded dining area. There are two sofas and a chair that comfortably seat 8 people. There is a large charcoal BBQ for those balmy sunny days and an electric heater overhead for when it cools down. There are two large flat lawns providing plenty of room for garden games and then at the bottom of the garden there is a traditional boules / pétanque court which is great fun for adults and kids alike. Throughout the garden there are beautiful borders full of cottage style flowers and feature plants.

The whole garden is very private and barely overlooked despite being in the middle of the village. The Bell next door is a handy addition providing traditional pub cooked food and there is a second pub in the village within easy walking distance called the New Inn. Broadway town centre is a 30 minute walk away by road or a much more pleasant 45-60 minute walk via The Fish Hotel or the disused railway line. There are endless walks nearby and various attractions such as Hidcote Manor, Snowshill, The Lavender Fields, Broadway Tower, Chipping Campden etc. Moreton in Marsh and Stow on The Wold are both 20 minutes drive.

What sets our house apart is that the majority of the time it is actually our home. Therefore when you stay here a lot of the basic requirements of a holiday rental will be provided by us; items such as toilet/kitchen roll, wash powder, cleaning items, log-ins to TV streaming services, basic cooking items such as oils, herbs, pasta etc. We also have a large drinks fridge which will be fully stocked and provided on an honesty basis at reasonable prices.

Mind-blowing/life-altering weekend away
This place is like something out of a dream - there was something to appeal to everyone whether it was petanque, the sauna, hot tub, bar facilities, disco ball, dartboard, patio area. This was a weekend for a very distant and stressed family and it provided a wonderful haven - Daniel was so speedy in responses to questions. I would for sure stay here again.

Magical Stay at the Old Malt House
We stayed at The Old Malt House with friends to celebrate a 40th birthday. We were blown away by the location but the property itself left us speechless. What a magical place to stay and made our trip truly special. We were lucky enough to have wonderful weather during our trip meaning we could take full advantage of the garden and outdoor space too. Daniel was a helpful and flexible host and had really thought of every detail to ensure we had a memorable stay.

Amazing !
We stayed here and had the most wonderful quality time with family we haven’t seen for a while. The place is perfect. It’s beyond luxurious and has been designed beautifully, simply STUNNING. Daniel replied to any queries immediately and was generous allowing us to check in early and check out late. He also kindly gifted us champagne and beers which started our family reunion off a treat. The Hot tub and Sauna were a real bonus and we loved playing Boules.Thank you Daniel ! We will return.

What's not to like!
The Old Malt House is a lovely house with old bones but totally redone to update it. The kitchen is highly functional and is surrounded n two sides by sliding glass doors that link it to the extensive garden, hot tub, and sauna. The dining room looks as if one should attend in formal dress, but is very comfortable. The property owners have a relaxed approach that simplified settling in for a few days, providing access to kitchen supplies.

Weekend with friends
We had a wonderful weekend at the Old Malt House with a group of friends. The house is amazing, beautifully decorated and with lots of lovely touches. It had everything we could need, including a well stocked honesty bar with a very good selection. We loved the hot tub and sauna, and the views from the immaculate garden. Daniel was very helpful and responsive, providing extra flexibility on arrival and check in. The only disappointment was leaving! Would definitely love to return in future.

Amazing weekend stay at this beautiful Cotswolds house
We booked the Old Malt House for a girls weekend away and we were all blown away with it! Great location, stunning garden/ outdoor space and a beautifully decorated house down to every little detail! Perfect socialising spaces, very comfortable rooms and all applicable amenities you could need for your stay. The host was extremely helpful in the build up to our stay, providing all useful details in advance and answering any questions/providing recommendations very promptly. There was also a helpful and detailed welcome book upon arrival and contact details provided should we need any further assistance. The check in/out process was also so easy, safe to say we were all sad to say goodbye to this lovely house :-) Would strongly recommend!

Incredible - a 15/10 property
Properties do not get any better. Every aspect of the place we stayed at was incredible. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the owners was an artist while the other an interior designer. The photos speak for themselves. On a more granular basis the property has the right aspect and gets sun all day. The outdoor seating area has a heater and hence is warm and comfortable. The jacuzzi is clean, new and is easy to use. Coming and going is a seamless task. Off street parking means you don’t worry about your car. There is nothing about this property to complain about. Superb all round.

Fantastic property is great location
We cannot recommend this house highly enough. We stayed as a party of 7 for a special family birthday. The house itself has absolutely everything you could wish for - all mod cons and an eclectic range of decoration and furnishings. We had beautiful weather and so the wonderful outside spaces came into their own. The views up into the hills behind the house are spectacular and those fond of walking will find interesting nearby trails. Willersey village itself is picture perfect with two good pubs serving food. It’s only a 25-30 minute walk or short drive into Broadway with its wide range of shops and restaurants. Great time had by all and Daniel could not have been more helpful throughout the whole process.

Birthday Celebrations
We booked the Old Malt House to celebrate my wife’s birthday with our family (6 adults & 4 children). It is a fabulous property in a small village about 30 minutes walk from Broadway which has a good selection of restaurants, shops and pubs. The cottage has been beautifully modernised and comes with everything you need for a break in the Cotswolds including a kitchen stocked with dry ingredients and cleaning products. The hot tub and sauna are a great addition and were well used by all the family. It is a great base to explore other areas of the Cotswolds, hopefully we will return in the future.

Most amazing property!
We had a fabulous time at Daniel’s property. Every detail had been thought of. As our stay progressed it seemed that things just got better and better. The property has been renovated beautifully. We couldn’t have had a better time. There were 9 of us staying and there was ample space. Lots of space for car parking which was great. The hospitality of the hosts is unrivalled and we really felt at home at this property. So many little extras that were really appreciated such as providing separate towels for the hot tub. We really had an indulgent stay and can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay.

Don’t miss a chance to stay here!
Upon arrival at the property, the cottage appears well-kept and tidy, resembling a traditional English Cotswold cottage. However, as you open the gate, the ambiance completely transforms to a large garden with vibrant flowers and a stunning, light-filled, modern glass kitchen extension. This modern addition is a stark contrast to the initial impression from the road but complements the property beautifully. The house is equipped with everything you could need and exudes a remarkable style that immediately felt like home as soon as we stepped inside for a weekend getaway. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, appreciating the excellent facilities, ideal location, and the privilege of being able to stay in such a delightful place. And who could forget the disco ball in the kitchen! The hosts were amazing, and the home itself was a true gem. We look forward to returning soon for another memorable stay.

Stunning property in great location
We booked this for a reunion which had been about 5 years overdue! We couldn't have picked anywhere better for our purpose......The house is such a welcoming social space and the garden is simply amazing! It was easy to have our own space or to be together - and the hot tub & sauna were a real bonus. I was very nervous booking this as it was so so important we had a great time - Daniel was fabulous, his recommendations exceptional and his communication with me throughout second to none. After wandering round Chipping Camden & Broadway ( 5mins away) we finished our trip with a big Sunday lunch in the stunning panelled dining room. I really can't recommend enough! We've already booked for next year - TB

50th birthday celebrations
We spent a weekend in The Old Malt house with a family of nine people celebrating my 50th birthday. The house is just stunning, set in a beautiful Cotswold village, with a picturesque duck pond, two local pubs and a petrol station. The house is set behind electric gates and once inside there is ample parking for several cars. The house itself is finished to a very high standard and wouldn’t be out of place on Grand designs, the hot tub and Sauna were a nice touch and the French Boule in the garden was a great opportunity to get outside. We visited nearby Broadway which is a stunning village with all amenities including a James Martin restaurant as well as a coop supermarket as needed. We would highly recommend staying here, everything was perfect and comfortable as you would ever hope for. Thanks Steve, Annette and Family.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Guthrie

Host profile image
Having spent 23 years in North Worcestershire we decided to buy a new home in the Cotswolds. We ended up with the Old Malt House and then spent almost two years renovating and adding two extensions (we did the majority of the work ourselves). As a retired couple we travel a lot and have two other rental properties in Spain and so decided that maybe we should our home too.

Why they chose this property

We find the location absolutely perfect. We are close enough to enjoy Broadway but not so close to have to endure the crowds. Chipping Campden is just over the hill, Moreton and Stow are 15-20 minutes drive away, Cheltenham is half an hour and then Evesham (10 minutes) provides the essentials you need - good supermarkets, some takeaways and a very pleasant riverside.

What makes this property unique

We have renovated our home to an exceptional standard and added some fun elements too. We are down a quiet dead end road (the Church is at the end) but still in the middle of the village. We have a surprisingly large garden for the location and the boules court, hot tub and sauna are nice little extras. Also, the countryside is on your doorstep with endless walks right from the house.
