About this property

Clean, Cozy & Comfortable without breaking the bank

Hi and welcome to our Bungalow. This is our first full year renting out this lovely quiet and well equiped home. We decided to keep the price as low as we can, as we would rather have lots of lovely guests, than have our beautiful home empty. My sister, brother and I have tried to think of your every need and if we have missed anything, please let us know, we welcome your input. My sister took particular time and effort decorating the house and laying every brick herself until it was to her satisfaction. We hope you decide to stay with us in 2019.

This two-bedroom Bungalow has everything you would want, without the worry of bringing anything with you, leaving you to relax and enjoy your break or holiday. The property is situated on the edge of the small market town of Melksham. With its beautiful historic quarter, the Town Centre features St Michael and All Angel's Church, Canon Square and Church Walk. Nearby are the historic villages of Lacock and Castle Combe and the splendour of the Cotswolds. The friendly town centre is full of charming little shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, so many you can eat different cuisines, daily. The town also has a gym, swimming pool, tourist information centre and parks, all within easy walking distance of the town centre. In fact, just a five-minute walk from the Bungalow will take you down to a playground by the River Avon.
Melksham is a central location with so many interesting and fun activities just a hop, skip and a jump away. A folder containing different activities and attractions will be at your fingertips, as well as a list of local eateries. Within minutes, you can be at a multitude of National Trust properties including Lacock Abbey (where parts of Harry Potter & Pride and Prejudice were filmed), Bath, just 10 miles away, where many movies and tv shows have been filmed including: Jane Austin’s Life, The Duchess, The Queen, Mistresses & The Night Watch, to name a few. Longleat House & Wildlife Park (fun for all the family) is just a short drive away. Castle Combe where Doctor Doolittle & Robin Hood were filmed, Stonehenge, Avebury, Westbury White Horse are all local. Bradford-on-Avon (Trail Bike & Canoe Hire), Cheddar Gorge & Wookey Hole and if you fancy a day at the seaside, Western-super-Mare and Burnham on Sea are just over an hour away.
The Bungalow has a beautiful garden full of bright happy flowers and plants and a cozy secluded patio, where you can sit by the fire pit, bar-b-que or just relax at the end of the day. Each room has been beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished. The house itself is bright and airy and the living room overlooks a beautifully tended garden. We have tried hard to cater to your every need, so upon your arrival, you will find necessities in the kitchen (Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Bread, Butter, Eggs & Milk). If you have any special requests, we can accommodate them. Furthermore, there will be a questionnaire we would love for you to complete, which will allow us to continually improve our property.
Amenities:
• The Living Room is tastefully furnished and has a Big Screen TV
• The kitchen has everything you will need, including; a coffee maker, electric kettle, electric cooktop & oven, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine (many of which are brand new).
• The utility room is equipped with a tumble dryer and a fridge-freezer for cold drinks and ice.
• The main bedroom is furnished with a King Size Bed (American Queen) and hypoallergenic duvet, tv/dvd player and it overlooks the courtyard/patio.
• The second bedroom has two small doubles, hypoallergenic duvets and its own tv/dvd player. It has views overlooking the front and side garden.
• The bathroom is fitted with a large walk in shower with hand rail, heated towel rail and bathroom products, including; towels, soap, shampoo & conditioner and hair dryer. A Shower Chair is also available upon request.
• We have installed Sky TV for all the televisions (3), Wi-Fi and a landline telephone in case your cell is not charged. A vast array of dvd’s, encompassing many genres, are available.
• The house is disabled friendly, but the dining area is through the kitchen and a wheelchair would be a tight squeeze. However, you can access the dining area by the back gate and patio
• There are plenty of outlets to plug in any electronics you bring and the sockets are compliant for people with disabilities. There will be converters available (EU, UK, USA)
• Parking is plentiful; if necessary you can park 4 vehicles.

Perfect Family Getaway

The bungalow is beautiful with excellent facilities. Anything and everything you could require was available and the owners were perfect, helpful and extremely accommodating. The location is great in a quiet cul-de-sac close to all amenities you would require. An ideal base to explore Somerset and the Cotswolds. We would highly recommend this property for families of all sizes.

Good value

This was well located property. Easy walk into town if you wanted to. Great location for travelling to near by places.eg Bath, and the Caen locks. Kitchen was well equipped and the second bedroom spacious. Just looking a little tired in places, outdoor space and some furniture .However, it was good for what we wanted it for.

Lovely bungalow

Such a lovely bungalow, spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Very quiet cul de sac. The only downside was the wet and cold weather but that was not anything anyone could do something about just the usual British summer. Lots to do in the area and lovely places to eat out. Really couldn’t fault the bungalow, was pleasantly surprised to find all TVs had sky q. Thankyou for letting us stay there 😀

Good bungalow to use as a base.

Nice bungalow , two good bedrooms. Had expected the fire pit in courtyard as per photos but this wasn’t there. Given the extreme heat warning this was not a major issue. A very warm bungalow so the two fans were a blessing.

Excellent Vacation Home

This vacation home, located in the town of Melksham, is by far one of the best we have ever stayed in. The owners are friendly and responsive, and have literally thought of everything you could want while on vacation. The home is in a quiet neighborhood, with a park nearby with play equipment for children. It is within easy walking distance to several supermarkets. It is centrally located for visiting sites such as Bath, Avebury, and Stonehenge, being about 40 minutes by car to all three. The owners were kind enough to meet us at the home for check in, and had breakfast items stocked in the fridge, such a welcome treat! This property is truly a gem, and we can't recommend it enough.

Comfortable, but small improvements could make it even better.

Comfortable bungalow, but some first impressions let it down and easy to fix improvements/additions could make it a much better guest experience. We have messaged the owner with our feedback but received no response. Also, future guests should note there is no freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge.

Home from home in a lovely, quiet location.

Myself and my friend came to stay for a well deserved long weekend. The house is a fantastic location. We loved going out for the day and then returning to the lovely, quiet house to relax in front of the tv. Having sky and Netflix in the frontroom and bedrooms was such a bonus. The host has thought of absolutely everything. Only thing we would suggest is a freezer but not essential. Thank you for a lovely stay and we Will be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Harris

Host profile image
We are three siblings who own the house. Jenny and Robert live locally and I live in the USA. Jenny has a great eye for detail and has painstakingly taken time to decorate the house, lay each brick that you will walk on, including the path's and patio. She has with much care carefully picked and planted each plant in the garden, window boxes and patio. Robert has helped her with maintaining the property and both will be a phone call away should you need anything else, including pet and baby sitting. My Niece Kim looks after the house and her contact number will be provided when you book with us. My brother Robert will meet you at the house to give you the keys and to show you how everything works.

Why they chose this property

This house is extemely relaxing. It is bright and airy, yet very cozy as well. It's not too big and not too small. So you can go out each day visiting many of the wonderful historic sites and towns and cities within driving distance. Returning to a calm, quiet and relaxing evening.

What makes this property unique

We have rewired the house so that plugs and switches are easily accesible. Every room has been updated and decorated and all the appliances except the oven and cooktop are brand new. The house is accessible for someone with physical limitations. Also we include a selection of umbrella's kept in the front porch! You never know when the English weather might take a turn.
