You arrive through a heavy oak door into the original cart-way of this converted stone building. The layout unfolds across three storeys, each floor revealing different configurations of the 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Ground floor holds a utility room (with washing machine, tumble dryer and extra fridge), one bedroom with adjacent shower room, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area dominated by a Bath stone fireplace and long pine table. Underfloor heating, stone flags, lime-washed walls and exposed beams anchor the place in its past, while the Aga and modern kitchen equipment keep it functional for cooking for a group.
Upstairs, five more bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors—mostly with zip-and-link beds that split into singles if needed. Three bathrooms serve these floors, all with either bath-shower combinations or walk-in showers. A sitting room on the ground floor has a 55" smart TV for quieter evenings. The enclosed lawned courtyard comes with garden furniture, a barbecue, firepit, table tennis and other games. Two small dogs are welcome, and the place includes two travel cots and two highchairs. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are provided, along with initial fuel for the woodburner and open fire. The George Inn at Norton St Philip is nearby if you don't want to cook one night. No smoking throughout.

What guests say
We stayed at the Malthouse for the August bank holiday weekend. It was a surprise celebration for my partner's 70th, with family travelling form Yorkshire, London and Southampton, we also had family that lived locally joining us for a barbecue. The house was stunning and all the rooms were beautiful, furnished to a high standard. Deborah was a fabulous host and popped round on the first evening to check on us. The kitchen is kitted out really well, with every utensil and pan you could need, plus ample crockery and glassware. The location is chocolate box perfect, quintessentially English, with the added benefit of a cricket filed just below and a beautiful pub next door (also a small supermarket a minute up the road for forgotten items). Finally, the position is a short drive from Bath and within easy reach of Wookey Hole, Cheddar and Longleat.

My family and I stayed at the Malthouse for a long weekend. It's a fantastic place with an attentive and amiable host. The building has a real charm and the garden is beautiful. It's located in a lovely village with two great pubs a literal stone's throw away. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you're thinking about it - the host answered all our questions and accommodated us wonderfully.

Our family gathered at the Malthouse for Christmas 2024. We had the most wonderful time. The house is so cosy, warm and comfortable and had been thoughtfully decorated for Christmas. We enjoyed sharing many meals around the big dining table. The kitchen is very well stocked with lots of pots and pans. And the two large living areas are great - ideal for playing games and sitting round the cosy log fire. All the bedrooms are very good sizes and very comfortable. The downstairs bedroom with en-suite shower room was ideal for my elderly mother who struggles with mobility. She was so happy to be able to join in with all her family around her. The house and village are steeped in history and we had many good long walks on the footpaths around the village. Cannot fail to mention the inn - The George - which was literally on tap, very friendly and serves fantastic beer and food. There is a really well stocked Co-op in the village and Flourish Food farm shop that was brilliant for meat, cheese, deli, veggies and lots of lovely bits and pieces There are stunning views from the house down to the village church. It also has a beautiful garden. I would love to come back in the summer months when we could see the garden in all its beauty and explore this beautiful part of the world more. Thank you also to Deborah who has been so helpful and friendly all year in helping me arrange our stay. She was there to greet us and show us around the house. All of us would highly recommend this wonderful house. We were sad to leave.

Fantastic stay at The Malthouse We were greeted by Deborah who showed us around. Beautiful property over 3 floors, every room decorated and furnished beautifully. Grounds of the property also brilliant, areas to walk, sit and play outdoor games. Kitchen stocked with all cooking equipment and bowls/plates that you would need. Comfortable stay, lovely family break, and would recommend to anyone and everyone. I loom forward to returning. 5*
