Conygre Farm is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Pewsey Vale. Its unusual name provides the clue to its original purpose. The farm once provided rabbits for the lord and master of the ancient Savernake Estate to hunt - 'Conygre' means 'rabbit enclosure' in medieval French. The farm has changed and evolved over the centuries and is now 340 acres of rolling, arable land with 35 acres of environmental 'features' including four newly planted woods, a wild flower and 'wild bird' meadow, to promote and enhance the natural flora and flauna - it now supports many different bird species (barn owls, lapwings, golden plover, grey partridge), wild mammals (hares & deer, not to mention the odd rabbit) and is the registered site of rare species of wild flowers.

The latest development at Conygre Farm is the conversion of some of the farm buildings, which would once have been a milking parlour; bull pens and granary, into two top quality interconnecting holiday cottages providing accommodation for up to 14 people with the added attraction of an integral indoor heated swimming pool, accessible from either cottage without the need even to step outside. Guests at the cottages will also have the use of a games room with table tennis and an arts and crafts area for smaller children, in a separate barn.

From the farm there are 360 degree views of both sides of the valley up to the downs and plenty of walks on the farm. In the local area The Kennet & Avon Canal, a mile away, offers narrow boat trips while the ancient Savernake Forest, (3 miles) is good for walks and picnics. The area is rich in prehistoric, archaeological sites such as Avebury, Stonehenge and Silbury Hill while the historic cities of Bath, Oxford and Salisbury are within an hour's drive. The nearest market town is Marlborough (7 miles) while nearby Pewsey has a main line rail link to London, good local shops and a supermarket.

The two cottages at Conygre Farm are adjacent to one another and in an 'L' shape around a large courtyard. The Warren & The Burrow provide an ideal venue for several families wishing to holiday together or for a larger group, with dining for up to 14 in either cottage's open plan living area. Access from one cottage to another is via an indoor walkway adjacent to the swimming pool.

Swimming pool/games facilities
The indoor pool (approx. 8 metres x 4 metres) can be accessed via a communal indoor walkway from either cottage. It has its own changing room with shower and wc and is for the private use of visitors. A games room with table tennis and an arts and crafts area for smaller children, as well as a tumble drier and freezer, is located in a separate barn on the other side of the courtyard.
