We (family of four with two sons of 15 and 18) really enjoyed this beautiful house. It was spacious and comfortable and cozy at the same time. For us, finding special houses is part of our vacations, and this house fully lived up to our expectations. We like to cater for ourselves and very much enjoyed the fully equipped large kitchen. The terrace was a great place for having outside meals or just enjoy reading. Also Aldbourne was a beautiful place to be. The village itself is very nice and places such as Oxford, Bath or Stonehenge are conveniently within reach.
This was a fabulous launching place for our English countryside visit! The house itself is teeming with history and is beautiful inside and out. The location was perfect to make day trips to Bath, and the Cotswolds. We would 100% stay here again.
Lovely old house Toiletflush in en suite temperamental but Jason is sorting that and not a big problem
Smart tv very popular with us
The piano was a bonus for my grandson who plays quite well.Hope to book again next year for RIAT
We loved the farmhouse. It was larger than expected. We found it easy to drive around the Cotswolds and do hikes. Sadly. The local pubs stopped serving food Sunday by 6:30-7 pm and were not open Monday.
Fabulous house to catch up with family and friends!
The house was fabulous just exactly as described! Beds were super comfortable! Beautiful village has lots of amenities 2 pubs, takeaway, 2 shops, heritage centre. Everyone was very friendly!
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 propertyâs history. Would highly recommend for a relaxing break.
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.
Great home with lots of space in strategic location
This large home had plenty of bedrooms, Beth rooms, and sitting area for our group of 5 women. It is located in a perfect location for day trips to the Cotswolds, Oxford, Bath, Stonehenge, etc. the small town has plenty of conveniences.
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.
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
