This wonderfully converted three-storey watermill, with lots of character and charm, is located in the rural setting of Westbury. It is the perfect escape for families and friends to create lasting memories together. Walkers and cyclists can delight in a variety of picturesque scenic trails. Pack a picnic and head up to the Westbury White Horse (3 miles) which offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. This is a perfect base for exploring some of the most popular and sought-after towns within the area. Head north and peruse the shops and streets of Bradford-on-Avon (6.5 miles), Bath (15 miles) and the wonderful village of Lacock (11 miles) which is featured in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. More days out can be had in Frome (6 miles), Longleat (10 miles) and Stonehenge (23 miles), or you can embrace an exciting adventure on the Salisbury Plain Safari (18 miles).

Enter this beautiful property where every corner whispers the rich history of its past, starting with the original mill wheel elegantly preserved behind glass in the hallway. To the left, a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/diner awaits, fully equipped with lovely granite worktops and a charming Belfast sink. Here, you can create culinary delights and gather loved ones around the table for memorable meals together. Ascend to the first floor to discover the heart of the home, a bright living area with dual-aspect windows and a striking wood burner-effect fire – a cosy retreat for evenings spent watching movies or engaging in spirited card games with family and friends. Adjacent, a generously double-size bedroom beckons with its delightful touches and en-suite shower room with WC, offering privacy and comfort. Venture to the top floor to find three more enchanting bedrooms. The grand master bedroom boasts a double bed, dressing table, fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room with WC. A versatile zip-and-link bedroom offers flexibility: a king-size bed that can easily be converted into twin beds, while another bright and airy double bedroom provides a serene sanctuary for relaxation. Completing this level is a family bathroom.

Step outside onto the patio area where a lovely al fresco dining table and chairs await. Sit back and relax, glancing across the lawned garden to marvel at the Westbury White Horse in the distance.

The Old Watermill was perfect for our group of six adults, a toddler and two babies. The kitchen was perfect for family meals and the little sofa came in very handy when time out needed with the children. It was well stocked and the owner had left some thoughtful extras. The lounge was great with comfortable seats and space for the 3 year old to Read moreplay and the 1 year old to toddler round. The owner was so friendly and on hand to help with any questions. Hide

We had a lovely, enjoyable holiday at the Mill, our party consisted of adult siblings, and everything was perfect for us. The Mill is comfortable, warm, large but also cosy. It was lovely to see all the exposed beams and the old waterwheel. Plenty of crockery and equipment if needed, and the location was perfect for visiting Bath, Warminster, BRead moreradford on Avon, Devizes etc. Jane is the perfect host. Hide

We simply had the best time in this beautiful, well appointed house. We didn't want for anything and Jane (the owner) was wonderful, before during AND after our visit. A lovely property in a fabulous location. We hope to return sometime. Thank you.
