Sleeps 2
The Byre
A romantic single-storey retreat for two, set into the original cow shed with exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, and a private patio opening onto open fields.
Three characterful self-catering cottages, converted from the old dairy stables at Bridge Farm. Wheelchair accessible, dog-friendly, and wrapped in the kind of peace only Wiltshire can offer.
Surrounded by picturesque and peaceful countryside and within walking distance of Salisbury, The Old Stables at Bridge Farm offers the perfect base for a weekend getaway or a longer break.
Each of our three cottages began life housing Bridge Farm's herds of dairy livestock. They've since undergone a significant renovation — making them far more accommodating to human beings, while carefully preserving their unique character and countryside feel.
We didn't want to call them "The Old Cow Sheds." We just couldn't think of anyone famous who was born in one. And anyway — who would want to stay in it?
Every cottage is wheelchair accessible and comes with its own wet-room, so guests with mobility difficulties are welcomed with the same comfort as everyone else.
We've kept the beams, the brickwork and the quiet. Everything else has been thoughtfully reimagined for the people who now pass through these doors.
Each cottage has been individually converted from the original dairy buildings, with its own kitchen, wet-room, and private entrance — but the same warm welcome.

Sleeps 4
Our most spacious cottage, ideal for families. Open-plan kitchen and living space, two bedrooms, and full step-free access throughout for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Sleeps 3
Cosy single-bedroom with a sofa bed in the living area — perfect for a small family or three friends. Original stable doors and a window framing the water meadows.
Self-catering means self-sufficient — but never without comfort. Each cottage at The Old Stables comes fully equipped, with thoughtful touches throughout.
Oven, hob, microwave, full-size fridge-freezer, and all the pots, pans and utensils you'd want for a proper week of cooking.
Every cottage is wheelchair accessible, with wide doorways, level thresholds and a fully fitted wet-room.
On-site parking right beside your cottage — no dragging suitcases across muddy lanes when you arrive.
Reliable broadband throughout, whether you're streaming a film in the evening or working remotely for the week.
Warm and snug year-round, with cosy lounges and quiet bedrooms that make winter stays just as appealing.
Each cottage has its own patio or garden area — perfect for morning coffee, evening wine, or the dog.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement. Miles of footpaths and water meadow walks begin at the gate.
Fresh bed linen and fluffy towels provided, with the wet-room stocked and ready from the moment you walk in.
Wheelchair accessible throughout, with wet-rooms in all three cottages. We've thought carefully about mobility, comfort, and dignity — because the Wiltshire countryside belongs to everyone.
The Old Stables sits at Bridge Farm in the village of Britford — a quiet pocket of Wiltshire just two miles south of Salisbury city centre. You can walk into town along the river path in around 35 minutes, or drive in under ten.
From your door: Salisbury Cathedral, the Magna Carta, the weekly Charter Market, an award-winning playhouse, and some of England's oldest pubs. From your window: nothing but fields, hedgerows and the occasional horse.
"A perfect location — peaceful countryside yet a short walk into Salisbury. The cottage was immaculately clean, beautifully restored and genuinely wheelchair accessible, which is so rare to find."
"The conversion is wonderful — you can feel the history of the old dairy buildings but with every modern comfort. Our dog didn't want to leave, and neither did we."
"We've stayed in a lot of self-catering places across Wiltshire. This is the one we keep coming back to. The wet-room was spotless and the kitchen had everything. Walking along the river into Salisbury each morning was magical."
Get in touch to check availability for your dates, ask about accessibility, or bring the dog along. We're a small, family-run set-up and we reply to every enquiry personally — usually within a few hours.
