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, a log burner 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 double bed with a wall mounted 42" TV. 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 10 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 (there is a croquet set available) 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. There is secure off street parking for up to 4 cars.
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 35 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.

We had an amazing New Years at the Old Malt Lodge. Both the house and garden were so beautiful and very clean. The attention to detail in the house was second to none, with the hosts thinking of everything we might need. Location was beautiful also. We will definitely be returning!
We had the most amazing weekend stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, friendly and flexible, and everything from start to finish was so smooth and easy.The house itself is absolutely stunning — spotless, really well looked after, and such a fun place to be. The decor and furniture are eccentric in the best way, with so much personality — you can really tell fun people live there.The village is also incredibly cute and the location feels perfect for a cosy getaway. There were clear instructions for everything (keys, hot tub, spa, etc.), which made the whole stay completely stress-free.We couldn’t recommend it more and would love to come back!
We had such a wonderful visit and will certainly be back! Great communication, such a lovely and comfortable home, and a five star experience all around. Thank you!
What an absolutely stunning house! We’ve just returned from a stay here with family while visiting Cheltenham Races and had the most amazing time.The house has everything you could possibly need and every room is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. Even the bathrooms have been done with such attention to detail. The whole house just feels really special. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and had all the essentials provided, which made our stay so easy.Daniel was brilliant throughout. Really helpful and always available to message if we needed anything. Communication was excellent from start to finish and the house security is second to none, which made us feel very comfortable during our stay.We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub this time, but that just gives us a good excuse to come back again. We will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend it.
Such an amazing house. We had a great stay and communication with Daniel was very efficient, all details were very clear and he was very accommodating with check in and check out times. Would highly recommend and would love to come back.
just wow! this place was absolutely amazing! really found a hidden gem, it was super clean and just fully equipped and everything was of such a good quality and high standard. I stayed with my family and we all loved it and can’t wait to be back to be honest. I wish there would be more places like these out there! Thanks Daniel for letting us stay at your beautiful propert!
Daniel’s beautiful home was equipped and organised with everything our group could need. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor space for drinks.
We had a fantastic weekend stay at this beautifully renovated Cotswold house. The decor was absolutely stunning – stylish, tasteful, and full of character. The garden was a real highlight for us – spacious, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. We especially loved using the BBQ, and the hot tub and sauna were such a treat. The location is amazing too, offering the best of countryside charm while still being close to everything we needed. Highly recommend this property – a true gem!
Really lovely long weekend away. Perfect property for catching up with friends, sitting in the hot tub and having lovely dinners and chilled evenings in with the fire on. Property was really clean, very well furnished and had anything you could possibly need. Would highly recommend!!
Wow what an amazing place! I stayed with 4 other ladies to celebrate a 60th birthday - we decided to stay in the whole trip to enjoy the stunning house and wonderful gardens - the photos don’t do this house justice! It’s totally stunning, the best place we have ever stayed as a group of friends.. the decor and the attention to detail is amazing. Dan has thought of everything and gone above and beyond to make this an amazing stay. We will definitely be back highly recommend to anyone.
Our stay was a long weekend to celebrate a special family birthday. The house will not disappoint as it is amazing. From the cocktail bar, wine fridge and quirky wall art, amazing kitchen, so so comfy sitting room, where the log fire was laid ready to light to the very comfortable bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms it is exquisite. Very clean and inviting. Outside the garden has so many plants, all labelled with well manicured lawns The Hot Tub and Sauna are just right and were well used. Parking is inside the garage doors so off street The hosts attention to detail is second to none…so much art to study and discuss… we all had such a fabulous time. Thank you Daniel
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.
We had an amazing stay for my birthday celebration. Such a fabulous house for hosting and the hot tub and sauna were a fun addition. Daniel was great with check in instructions, everything was so easy. Would deffinately 10 out of 10 reccomend
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.
2 families consisting of 4 adults, 5 teenagers and 1 dog spent 3 fantastic nights here in Willersey. House was amazing and it's location was exactly what we were after. Great walks and beautiful villages near by. Home owners responded to all questions and queries very promptly. Would definitely come back. Lovely place.
Beautiful home in a great location. Will be visiting again very soon. Thank you

About the host
Hosted by Daniel Guthrie
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.
