Beauty in the country

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.

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.

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.

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 stay

Excellent place. A bit of history staying in a modernized 17 century farmhouse. We ate a couple times at the farmhouse. "The Crown" was our pub. we ate and drank there often. Nice short walk. Back to the farmhouse, it has a large garden with picnic tables and chairs. Justin or Louise answered our messages very fast. I hope to come back someday.

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.

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.

Cotswolds stop

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

About the host

Host profile image
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.
