The Rookery is a converted old cow byre, which has been restored into a 2 bedroom (with king size beds, both en-suite) holiday home on the land of our family home. The barn is detached and has its own private back garden with garden furniture with integral fire pit, private hot tub and patio with barbeque for guests sole use. There is also some lovely festoon lighting and a dog wash station for you to clean your dogs/boots before entering the barn. We also offer our guests complimentary use of our 6 acre fully fenced field to walk your pooches or play with the kids, have a picnic etc. Please be mindful of our own dog walker who will need access to walk our own dogs if we are away ourselves, the dog walker takes preference to anyone using the field at the time due to the time restraints on her and having to get to other clients. We appreciate your understanding in this circumstance and you are more than welcome to re-enter the field once she has finished using it.

Hi I'm Linda and I love to host guests that stay with us and that choose our wonderful property for their break/holiday. I am always happy to help in anyway I can to make sure you have the most wonderful time whilst staying at The Rookery. Whether you want not to be disturbed and enjoy your quiet time or if you fancy joining us for a dog walk in the field with your kids. We are always up for meeting new people, we are a friendly couple and we love a good natter.

Minety is a very small village with one small village shop, the rugby pavillion where you would be welcome to pop in for the fish and chip van on a Tuesday and a pint (you can eat in or take back to the holiday let). We are placed fantastically to visit the Cotswolds and sit between Malmesbury, Cirencester, Royal Wootton Bassett, Cricklade & Swindon. We are extremely close to the Cotswold water parks too where you can swim, canoe, paddle board etc. And like any rural community we have paintballing, horse riding, and all sorts of outdoor pursuits including a man made beach just up the road (less than 5 miles away). We have amazing country pubs all around us but you will need a car as we are quite rural. I am happy to give/send recommendations for anything you have an interest in.
