About this property

Two bedroom self-catering cottage in Pewsey Village

The Byre is an independent wing of a thatched cottage and guests have their own keys and full access at all times. There is parking for one car on site. It is the perfect place to relax and explore the beautiful county of Wiltshire. On one level, it is a newly renovated, self-contained wing of an 18th century thatched cottage and consists of one king bedroom and a small twin. It has been luxuriously fitted out with White Company and Mitre bed linen, towels, feather duvets and pillows, John Lewis beds and sofas and high quality new furniture. There is free Wi-Fi, a smart television with Netflix, parking for one car and a small outside seating area with a table and chairs solely for guests. The accommodation is cosy and as neat as a pin.
The Owners, Maggy, Barbara and Bob have been friends for over forty years and decided to buy a house in Pewsey together for their retirement. We are very proud of our beautiful home and garden and offer a very warm welcome to our guests. Maggy and Barbara are classically trained musicians so you might hear the (delightful!!) strains of music wafting around.The Byre is convenient for Marlborough, Bath, Salisbury, the K & A Canal, Stonehenge and Avebury. As Pewsey station is only a few minutes walk away, day trips to London (1 hr) and Bath are easy.

Just what we needed
My husband and I spent 4 restful nights at this cozy spot. The hosts have thought of everything a guest could want. They provide a detailed information sheet about the village, with local eating options - plus a notebook with instructions about how to use the appliances. The beds and linens were great. The bookshelf was full of maps for walks all through the area- we had fun and successfully found our way back home each time! We had a lovely 4 days!

Super snug residence with excellent facilities and finish. Wonderful hosts, so friendly and helpful. Lovely surrounding countryside, a real gem of a county with rolling hills, few cars and some brilliant cafes!

Everything we needed
I stayed at the property for 3 nights with my 12 year old son and my Mum. The Byre had everything we needed. Would not recommend for cosy evenings in as the sofa and armchair are small and not the most comfortable but otherwise we couldn't fault it. As we didn't spend much time sitting around, it was fine for us.

The Byre -Centrally Located
We were attending two music events. One was in Wimborne Minister and one in Cheltenham. The Byre is about equal distance to both. Plus The Byre is 30 minutes from Stonehenge. It is in the quaint village of Pewsey. A village with train service along a canal. Many sites to see around the area. If I'm in the area again The Byre will be my choice to stay at. Book Early.....just sayin'

Adorable
This cottage is so cozy and perfectly appointed. My whole family was sad to leave. The cottage itself is exactly as described and perfectly suited for up to four people. My two teenagers each had a spacious bed and the other room was plenty big and very comfortable for me and my husband. Everything is walkable in Pewsey and there is a lovely walking/running trail behaving the cottage that leads to other parts of town. Easy drives to all nearby towns. Highly recommend.

Pewsey cottage
Charming and compact cottage, set back off a busy road. The bedrooms are nicely-sized and comfortable.The living room/diner is slightly cramped but the space has been used well and it was nice to have a smart TV with Netflix plus a decent coffee machine. The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated, with some nice detail and touches. It is an easy stroll to shops and pubs, with a nice pub by the waterfront and a good park for children in Broomcroft Road. The cottage is well-located for trips to Marlborough and other areas of Wiltshire.The stay was completely hassle-free with everything provided and as advertised, and friendly laid-back hosts.

Despite Covid 19 we always felt safe. We would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Little Cottage
Byrne Cottage was the perfect place for our family to use as a central point for visiting Stonehenge, Avebury, Highclere Castle and the surrounding area. As this was our first foray out since the pandemic, we were a little apprehensive about cleanliness and being away from home, but we were VERY quickly put at ease. The cottage was very, very clean. It was super comfortable for our family of 4 and despite being small, it had all the amenities of a 5-star holiday home. The bedding was fabulous and the mattresses comfortable. We used the small kitchen to cook meals each day and had all we needed. It is located on a main road leading in to Pewsey so traffic noise can sometimes be quite loud but not too much of a bother for us. Thanks Barbara, Maggy and Bob for a wonderful stay!

A wonderful two bed cottage with great hosts
The Byre more than lived up to our expectations. A really well thought out conversion with great touches and high quality throughout. The cottage is set back from the main road running through the village so not completely off piste. Very conveniently located. Only addition we'd like to see would be folding lounge chairs for the outdoor patio. Dining table and chairs great for meals al fresco but not for simply hanging out in the sunshine with a good book.

Fabulous cottage and great location
We stayed here for our daughter’s 3rd birthday. The cottage is very well equipped, clean and the bedding is lovely! Having Netflix was a bonus as well; great to have Peppa Pig on hand whenever we wanted! The hosts are very friendly and helpful and we definitely want to come back in future.

The cottage was beautiful and so well decorated, very cosy and cute.
We absolutely loved the cottage. This is one of best holiday rentals I have stayed in. It was the middle place for the four of us to meet and we couldn’t have picked better! A stunning cottage with lots of charm. We spent the weekend exploring surrounding villages and going on long walks. We celebrated an early Christmas in the cottage and cooked a fantastic roast, the kitchen might look small but it is perfectly capable of catering for a Christmas feast for four adults. Maggie and Barbara were lovely and welcoming! Would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again, 5 starts!
